[IT'S MEME TIME AGAIN]

I NEED...A DISTRACTION!

Questions meme, you know how it goes! I play Mithos and Firebird, and you can ask about Lark if you want.

I probably won't pick up full steam on answering questions until tonight after class, Persona answers may be vague, etc.

Mithos ingrained 'being a knight' as part of his identity really hard at first, but this has changed! It's fallen out over time so that he now identifies with the character traits he developed through being a knight -- being an independent agent but retaining a sense of responsibility and care as an authority figure, the need to help and protect people, middlemanning as needed, getting involved with things of his own volition and trying to improve them -- but not so much with the 'role' of knight itself.

He's gradually grown more and more dissatisfied with the unfairness of the knight/hero system and the fact that, after all the heroes' hard work, the pivotal choice to free Beauty's realm was still 'to die or not to die' actually tipped him to a point where he was ready to quit the knight system altogether! Three told him and Lloyd that the knight role itself is a tool with dimensions to change Aather that they don't have full knowledge of yet, so they did choose to stay knights and work within the system in order to gain that understanding and use it as they can.

While he still dislikes the system and Sterling has never been a 'team' by any means, he does like a lot of the other knights as people. They all tend to be pretty committed to protecting people and helping them, which is a damn good thing to do no matter what it stems from.

I think I covered what Mithos thinks the ideal knight role should be pretty well! However, his view of the 'ideal knight role' is also probably a bit different from most other knights, because the ideal as presented in Aather is something he helped create with the other original knights -- of which there are only five left! Beauty gave them 'tasks knights must do' as a baseline way back in the beginning, but the existing knight philosophy is something they came up with for themselves and then passed on as gospel to all the knights that followed them. Aather would probably be a very different place now if the twelve original knights way back when didn't have so many loudly heroic helpful types to set the tone in that way.

How do you think Pascal would do if he suddenly woke up a knight one day?
