I absolutely love war... it brings me joy like nothing else can to see destruction and death all across the plains... to see blood spilled and fire everywhere and to know that I caused it all.... oh sweet sweet destruction, thou art my calling.

Iv always wanted to be the cause of a horrific event that strikes fear into countless hearts..

they ignored me, they didn't see how dangerous I am if not kept in check... they ignored me and sent me into the dark, where I became depressed beyond help... now the only thing that brings me even the slightest joy is to stand above a helpless creature that has fear in its eyes afraid for its life only for me to point my riffle at it and terminate it.. watching the blood spill onto the floor and make fire burning everything down.. finally I have my revenge on those that did not take me seriously...

I live and fight for revenge that will strike absolute terror and fear into anyone that hears of my name for I am the immortal destroyer.... all will die at my feet as I fire my shot

Heh, I would love to kill you at some point; the battle will be glorious.

bring it on, I love the sound of explosions everywhere Twisted

Yeah but Void will cheat and bring his Tank.

And yours to the State, is honourable work. Why shirk that duty in fear or self pity, when you can embrace it with the pride and solidarity your people are known for? Brother, it isn't that duty that I am running from. Regardless of what I think of your faith, I respect Templars for their devotion towards defending their empire. I hold the same devotion to my State, I assure you. I'm running from myself. All I have ever looked for in this life was a chance to start fresh. I've made some hard choices in life, choices I am not proud of. I know one day those choices might catch up with me, but for now I am just going to keep moving forward and not look back. I... I just don't want to go back to the Dragonaurs, but I can't ever face the Legion. So I run.

Get rid of them and you can easily start anew; without any worries. Because Mirage-haan, I don't want to end up like you. There is no battle to fight anymore. All I can do is refrain from allowing myself to slip any further than I already have into violence. The Dragonaurs turned me into a weapon, and I did not realize how much they had broken me until far afterwards. Thankfully, friends have shown me that I can be far more than that.

They made you more than a man, for man is nothing but a cog in God's design, what they made you is axis upon which all future events will hinge. What they gave you is power and the will to put that power to use or to seal it away. They gave you the choice, and choice is something that few have in New Eden. I've failed to consider this. Despite what the Dragonaurs have done to me, they granted me a chance to become something more than just a boy. After all, how many people have access to this much power? Without this power the world would have sorted me out a long time ago. In the end, I suppose I am more proud to have been a Dragonaur and fought for something I could believe in than I would be if I allowed myself to waste away my life fighting for a Legion of psychopathic deserters and criminals. Am I ashamed to have been a part of the violence we spread? Absolutely. But I think thanks to you I might have just come to terms with that part of my past.
Galm Fae BetaMax Beta 29	Posted - 2013.08.03 07:56:00 - [5] - Quote Forgive me Ryeon-haani, but I detect a slight ting of irony in all of this. You yourself have made references in other posts to the horrors of Sansha's Nation and their debasement to humanity by turning individuals into drones, but you yourself claim that enlightenment is to reach this hivemind like status of the Totality. Or perhaps I am detecting hypocrisy. Forgive me, I do not mean to offend you or your culture. Nor am I attempting to advocate True Power. I simply see a great sadness in someone with such a great mind to not see the same value in their own individuality as others do. It is your choice to lose yourself to your way, but the day may come where one will think the world of you. To me, there is a beautiful sadness in the fact that you seem to matter little to yourself. If you feel individuality is an illusion, the question needs to be raised: Is it really so bad for us to just pretend it is real? Individual emotions, beliefs, ideals, hopes and dreams all add another layer of depth to this life that makes it all worth living. Maybe this all comes from a failure to understand your way. If that is the case then I apologize for my ignorance.
Galm Fae BetaMax Beta 29	Posted - 2013.08.04 07:15:00 - [6] - Quote When you put it that way you make it sound so noble. Thank you, I feel like I have a much better grip on the concept. At least, a better one than most. I can only assume how lost an individual who doesn't have any standard cultural link to the Achura might be. I believe now I understand your spirituality, at least partially. Still not sure if I support it though. If we are all indeed different faces of this universe, then we should welcome this gift of succeeding from a greater being, at least for as long as we have in this world. If the hardships in life have taught me anything, it is that this life is a forge to test and temper a soul before it can be claimed by the spirits. Perhaps this might serve a greater context: Just because I accept the inevitability of my fate in my existence as an immortal does not mean I am in any hurry to embrace it. Rather than taking the path of least resistance, you adapt to blaze a new way for others to follow. Unless we enter a state of totalitarian communism, developing a society where we are all free to indulge in a malleable trance of ignorance is (thankfully) a far off dream. After all, when you have finally reached Totality what will you have become besides a slave to the universe? Maybe it is my Civire speaking, but I think we can be stronger than that. When the world bites you, you bite back. I understand full well that you wish to perceive this Totality. However you can not deny your past claim that the reason you fight is to attempt to forfeit your grip on you own self and surrender that part of you to a state of serenity. (Which should be noted, that isn't perfection you are feeling. It is a hyper-alert combat high that your body has been hard wired initiate. You can get the same chemical reaction from a syringe.) To be honest, I am curious of your goal of becoming a weapon for the use of another would be as easily accepted by Minmatar slave soldiers forced to become such tools for the Amarr. I get that your goals are supposedly more pure because they are not subject to malevolent master of any sort to speak of, but the concept is still the same. Were others fight tooth and nail for freedom, you actively seek out the bondage of your Totality. You can wrap that in a bow seven times and that fact still won't look pretty.

You are part of it, as I am-- inescapably, inevitably. If it has a will, then you are as much a tool of that will as I am. We all have our parts to play, and, paradoxically, if you refuse to play your part, you are playing your part by refusing. Out of curiosity, you mentioned earlier that a great misjustice to any of those who follow your way to resist your part in this world, as it goes against the flow of the universe. But if we are constantly following our path even when we refuse to play our part, than how can one possibly resist this flow? Or is that the entire point? Is there just no such thing as right and wrong as we are always following our true purpose? Quote: If I had been a victim of such arrogance, would I be able to speak so easily of letting go of my will to serve another's? Maybe not. I follow the soldier's path because it is a path of simple clarity, but also because it is a good path, one that will let me protect what I value. And once again we might gaze into a universe fueled by double standards. I wouldn't consider that a bad thing, I just like to stop and appreciate when a connection is made in a conversation. Quote: What is the value in living for myself, when there is nothing there that will last? And when there are things that are so much more significant? Hinmonaa vaktikunen uakan. I can understand the honor in service to others. But don't prostitute yourself to the needs of the many while forgoing your own. All too often in life, the "greater good" comes to represent the "greatest evil."
Galm Fae Guardian Solutions 33	Posted - 2013.08.05 20:19:00 - [9] - Quote It is a double standard in the sense that you are not dealing in the absolute. In a curious fashion you choose to disregard the opinions of the Minmatar and selectively choose the path of the soldier despite their suffering. In an overly simplified analysis, you are acting selfishly. Again, more and more paradoxes seem to crop up the further we discuss this... Though I am begining to feel that we have gotten wildly off the original topic. Sorry about that.
Galm Fae Guardian Solutions 34	Posted - 2013.08.06 06:55:00 - [10] - Quote Ryeon-haani, I do not disagree with you. If I have not made it clear in this conversation my remarks do not always reflect my beliefs. By asking these hard questions I like to think that I can gradually build a better understanding of others. I have only just realized that from your standpoint I would appear a frazzled mix of emotions and ideals, but if you look at it from my perspective I have merely been attempting to isolate off different thoughts and build off what you have told me based on whatever question comes to mind. Adamance, I trust my opinions on the Minmatar are clear now. Aria, It is a horrible thing to be abandoned by your own family. I wish you the best of luck finding a new family in this world among us soldiers.
