Why I Choose Karavan

[tylarth]

The religious aspect of either powers do not interest me, but more their ideological points of view and what broader concepts they relate to. This is what made me choose one side over the other.

To me the kami represent a very narrow-minded conservative outlook. Childlike and reactionary. Their end vision of Atys being an unchanging place with little room for homins, save to fight Goo as presumably the Kami cannot. They do not represent peace, nor equality , nor progress. They are a self preservationist tyranny.

The Karavan represent the future, and quite likely the past and creation too. The karavan are rational and progressive, They support rather than punish homins on the whole (killing off the kitins, rescuing homins, no kami-like tolerance). Many believe the Karavan to be some dark force of exploitation, however their action in comparison to the kami show them as far more liberal and open minded. A power of responsibility and reason.

i see no validity in being neutral, for that is the way of letting others decide your fate (kind of like not voting in an election). i also can see it is the homins of the power that wins that will decide the destiny of homins on atys. And in that future i prefer the freedom to progress rather than fight for stagnation under the kami.
