[@Lucius Cypher] See Artoria. That was my test to see "Is staying true to your character no matter what important? Is serving loyally until the powers that be throw you some scraps of power important?"

Whenever the time comes that we're supposed to band together and it'll finally somehow be able to achieve something against the opponents who until now were untouchably stronger than us, I'm probably going to be a Meihou again going "The last bazillion times I tried to do something defying these people's wills in any tiny manner didn't work, why would I believe that this time would? Why do you think after all of this my character would have any faith they could so much as spit in the face of these people?"

And I'm really not satisfied with 99.99% of my character's power coming from boons that could just be given to a random bum on the street and it would be just as effective. If my character is just a vehicle for some gear all granted by someone else, it's not my style (hence why I don't use BEAST).

I do want to see how the people who stayed the course and towed the line fare. I hope it goes better for them than it did for Shattering.
