Can you see it? Can you see the galaxy in flames? Can you see the lives shattering and civilizations crumbling as they fall into chaos? it is beautiful
Hehe... war brings joy to me like nothing else; I love eradicating all human life off of these pathetic planets in my 'Colossus' Heavy vk.0 such as 90G-OA I; nothing left but, a barren waste land after I was finished having fun with it.
I fight for the sake of fighting. What do you fight for? |

I just don't want to go back to the Dragonaurs, but I can't ever face the Legion. So I run.
Why run?
Why not face your consequences and eliminate them? Get rid of them and you can easily start anew; without any worries. |

People seem to have quite a few diverse, interesting reasons to fight.... |

Yet, those battles resolved without conflict never seem to happen as often as those with. |

However they are often those of greatest importance.

It is the path on which I hope to find my soul's perfection.
Do you think that fighting will lead you to perfection?
If so, why do you believe that? |

If so, why do you believe that? A less mystical way of putting it might be to say that I seek wisdom on the soldier's path. All Achur monks seek to perfect our souls through insight into the universe. The teachings as to what this means and how it is accomplished vary from sect to sect. As a Shuijing, or 'Crystal,' practitioner, I seek to pierce the illusion of 'self'-- to move and act in tune with the Totality of which we are all inseparably part, to lose myself in it. As a student of Shuijing, I know that I, as an individual, separate, distinct being, do not exist. I am an illusion, a trick my mind plays on itself-- a necessary and important trick for a human to live as a human does, but one that leads to much suffering. I know this for a great truth, but it is one that is difficult for most people, including most practitioners, to accept. In order to better accept and absorb this truth, I choose a life of few distractions and follow the soldier's path. I seek to be, as entirely as is within my power, the soldier, the weapon, we were created to be. Combat is a tool for achieving focus, for surrendering one's will to the moment. As much as I am able, I let go of my own wants and thoughts, and simply am. In those moments when I succeed, I forget to think, but only act, precisely and without will. It is in those moments when "I" am not, when I act and move with no more intention than the wind, that I touch perfection. Perhaps one day I will forget to remember that I am apart and alone, and I will perceive the Totality at last.
I wish you the best of luck in your goal for perfection; to lose yourself Totality. |

I will move forward regardless of the price that must be paid, I will see my hopes and dreams forged into reality amongst the stars.
Little remains of the man I used to be, thinking back on it is like trying to remember an old dream that always slips away into the darkness. But I do remember a family and them being taken from me by those who were supposed to protect us and when all seemed lost the Templar program took me.
It was worse than hell what I went through, I didn't even want to be there and there was no escape from it. I had become their slave and weapon.
I remember the whispering and those burning eyes in my dreams back then, something totally alien but familiar at the same time. I refused to let it in, but it in time it allowed me to regain part of myself from the indoctrination I had been subjected too. I remembered my family and person I had once been, I began to plan my escape.
My chance came by complete surprise when I was ambushed by troops from Mordus Legion. They said they could take me in and break the Empires hold on me, they were surprised when I agreed. I was transferred onto clean tech and the whispers stopped. The engineers believe that my memories of my family may have even been created by it trying to get me to break. But I know deep down that they where real, I doubt they are still alive but I will still search for them.
I have become a something else from what I was and for that I am almost grateful, however to be broken and made to kneel before another's Empress is something that I will never forgive. I now stand as a bastion against all of the Empires advances.
I will never stop, never rest, never surrender. I will stand fast and resolute in my own beliefs and I will see the Empire burn.
I am a daemon, a monster, a beast that has broken its chains, I am the Snagman. Run and hide Empress Jamyl I am coming. Then we shall stand as a bastion against you. A convictionless, causeless mercenary, devoid of true loyalty and faith, and now an apostate is nothing for the true children of God to fear. If you do not fear me then your beliefs have blinded you to the threats your own Empire creates against itself. I may not have faith as you put it but I do have loyalty to those who will stand beside me, those who will support me and to those yet to come. And it is for them and those they are loyal to that I will fight for so that I see my dreams become reality. I look forward to the day we meet warrior of the Empire, it will be a great battle not just of might but of beliefs.
Why should we fear you?
Loyalty, eh? weakness; thats what it is...
Just as you say his beliefs have blinded him, your goal has done the same. |

Fear is a perspective of an unfavourable situation that we can find ourselves in. Wether or not you fear me is of no concern but myself and those with the same goal are something which is unfavourable to the Empire.
I am blinded by my goal but I accepted this a long time ago, I know it has cost me much this far but not nearly as much as was taken from me and after my goal is completed I may never be able to find rest. But I will have completed what I set out to do which to me will be my greatest victory, at long last through my own will and strength I will reach my own goal.
I am glad to have met such stalwart individuals but I must ask what will you sacrifice to complete your own goals and to protect your own beliefs?
I will return tomorrow my connection in this transit is sporadic at best.
It will be amusing to watch you go about achieving your goal...
What would I sacrifice? I would sacrifice anything and everything should it be necessary to achieve my own goals and beliefs. |

Forge Guns are useful for that sort of thing. |

That is why I carry a SMG
I can also just kill him with the Forge Gun; I'm a pretty good shot, or so I like to think |

I thought he'd be some pansy ass weakling outside of this tank.... joke was on me when he matched my aggressiveness level for level. I was incredibly lucky to get the kill on him.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the information; it just gives me an even easier time killing him. |

Turns out that Void is actually a pretty decent mercenary; sadly, we haven't run into each other on opposing sides of a contract yet... |
