People think of Champions as bright exemplars, and Adversaries (new as they are to your generation) as dark and desperate. If that was all there was to it, you’d be an Adversary for sure. Even later generations, who understand Adversaries are about Agency, might think someone as focused on Freedom as you are would become an Adversary easily.
Here’s why they’re wrong: Adversaries look out for themselves. You will always be Champion of Freedom, because your cause is emancipation of all people, in all times, a cause so ambitious and so much bigger than you are that you have almost no thought for yourself.
Yes, in waking life you’re a slave on the Diabolin Throneworld. Yes, those conditions are miserable and desperate, and any day you might die doing the dangerous industrial work you’re set to in the Diabolin weapon-foundries. But you, and your circumstances, aren’t important. What’s important is the dream of freedom. You will crush every nightmare, every despair, take any chance, any bargain, to make sure that everyone you encounter knows freedom is possible and fights as hard as they can to achieve it. Rebellions are built on hope.
Thread Expectation: Three+ threads/mingle with different characters!
Plot skill: Shacklebreaker. This gravity-warping melee weapon was built both in dreams and the Waking World - though you have to hide it there - and the dreams it’s forged of mean that in dreams it can, at least temporarily, shatter any chain, literal or metaphorical, that it strikes.
