Maro Lunsi/Characterization
From Paracosm
More actions
| Problem | Maro has outsourced his identity to the Security Service. He does not know who he is outside of the World Union, and he is afraid that he may not like the answer. Rather than investigate that fear directly, he makes himself indispensable. Rather than have a blind loyalty story it's more of a "self-erasure" so he can have some identity |
|---|---|
| Want/Goal | He wants to return to the status quo. He wants to return to service in the SS with familiar faces and a familiar chain of command. The life before the pala farm was not necessarily good, but it was predictable. He knew what to do, who to obey, who to distrust, and how to measure his worth. |
| Need | Maro needs to accept that he has a self beyond his service. He needs to stop treating identity as something that must be assigned by his his'e, the state, his memories/experiences, etc. He may never recover a complete past. He will find that Naloku, the Security Service, the Pasana, et al. have manipulated parts of his life. however his need is to understand that identity is not something that is given from the outside. |
