... Not actually sure I know enough to tell you. My instructor has one? They're just different - there's some process of finding one and proving yourself before it'll let you pilot it, and it's not like hopping in a Hector and piloting that.
They can move on their own, and chat with their Awakener. All the other soldats just sit there until you pilot them, and there's as many as can be shoved off a conveyer belt at any given moment.
Yeah. "The Ashen Chevalier"'s pretty famous around Erebonia for being involved in stopping a Civil War, and I guess getting himself stuck between a rock and a hard place as the government keeps pushing him into doing a bunch of crappy missions he gets weirdly bullheaded about doing alone, or with old Class VII.
I dunno.
Maybe it was more complicated that I first thought. Or maybe he's just a bleeding heart who likes throwing himself into firing lines thinking it's "the right thing to do".
Pretty sure he's the only one that can make Valimar do anything, though.
He's a pain in the ass and has a self-sacrificial hero complex 15 arge wide. He's not malicious though, I'll give him that.
Combo that with a giant mech and government orders and it's just him throwing himself onto different blades in different parts of Erebonia and not getting why people are pissed at him.
Having a martyr complex is a pain in the ass for everyone around you, just fyi.
[ yeah well.
rean schwarzer. his heart's in the right place but he left his entire brain back in the infernal castle when crow accidentally got made absent from the plot for a while. ]
Not entirely sure why he keeps jumping when they ask him to, but he probably thinks he can single handedly help everyone if he get involved with the government's crap.
[ tocs is just a very complicated story about a boy who loses his boyfriend then finds him hanging out on rooftops being Edgy and gets weirdly defensive about believing it’s Him, send tweet. ]
Yeah, try telling him that.
[ anyway, don’t put a martyr in a Special Mecha ]
Normal soldats are pretty fun to pilot though. Less getting laser focused on by the government too.
Guess I did find out some of the crap I was looking for. Roundabout way of doing it, but given the fact this whole thing has layers under, on and over its layers... I might not have found out shit otherwise.
Question for ya, which is worse: someone who does something unspeakably crap, or someone who is so desperate to make up for someone else doing something crap that they do worse shit than whoever they were trying to atone for the first place?
I think it makes them pitiable. And I don't plan on letting them run from all the shit they've had their hands in, trying to make up for someone else's mistake.

[ exactly how you'd think, akira. ]
no subject
You'd know him better than I do. But. . . [mmm. he frowns] Being stuck working for a shitty government sounds pretty--
[how does he put this delicately]
no subject
[ hmm. ]

It sounds like he's trying, at least. [Rean Schwarzer is a mess] Doing what he believes is right, even if it's. . .
[well]

That's not how it works. Nobody can do everything by themselves.
no subject

no subject
But still part of their whole system. [hm. . .] You know. . . I don't think you ever told me why you decided to go to military school.
[he gave some sort of vague response but Akira didn't press at the time]
no subject
[ haha! ]
A little Scarecrow persuaded me it was a good idea.
It got a few people off my back as well, but whether it was a good decision or not I don’t know.
no subject
[THAT MEANS NOTHING TO HIM]
I guess it's hard to say, when so much about your future is still up in the air.

[. . . he doesn't know if he likes this Scarecrow guy, and it shows in the way his gaze narrows, even if he doesn't say anything]

Don't worry, I got around to telling him where to go eventually.

At least there's that. He sounds like he deserved it.

no subject
. . . what a loaded question.
no subject
I can vouch for the “unspeakably crap” part being unspeakably crap, don’t worry.
no subject
[it's just hard to tell who is worse in that situation]
no subject
Which would you say is worse? [ he’s just curious. ]
no subject
[???]
I don't think something like that can be ranked, you know. . .? Though the good intentions pain the latter in a better light overall.
