There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending.
They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end they just have to have faith.

@ColourlessKing yeah I was reading on RED and they only deal with the princess of Zahard so I think I'm going to make my guy want to be a FUG slayer
Yeah learning Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique and developing my own variation of it would be cool. By the way isn't your dude afraid of death? And being a FUG Slayer is one of the msot deadliest occupations to do?
@ColourlessKing it does though if he is going to be a FUG slayer I would be interesting why he wants to take that
Idk maybe so he can get close enough to Gustang to slay him and then take over? The perks are useful especially Workshop connections.
Also considering he is trying to find his own happiness away from Zahard the Families probably higher chance of joining Wol Ha Ik Song. FUG could be the darker path where distancing himself isn't enough.
In other news I just did a quick retcon about not failing the Research Association Test because it seems you gotta reach the 30th floor before you can take it.
Looking at the wiki for Wonsulsa, it seems to be something like a title you have to take an actual exam to earn.
<Snipped quote by ToG Wiki>
So it might be a case of having similar abilities but not officially being recognised as one.
Yeah, that was my thought process. Nikola has an unfair advantage of both knowing the existence of the technique on the first floor considering his family's monopoly over it and the ability to use atleast most the basic applications.
But now I can't choose if I should spec into his Simultaneous Flow and Reverse Flow Control Talent or Wonsul.
@ColourlessKing yeah In the first few floors(1-10) you may only know one technique as you progress you may learn more but must specialize in one certain technique
In that case... Quick question do we get our special position immediately or later. Besides Anima/Guide since thats more talent/race based.
Mostly asking because Po Bidau are specialists in Wonsul considering they are the ones who seem to teach it.
@ColourlessKing yes I said either this will be a hella long rp or there's going to be time skips cause of all the floors and such , I think I I'm going to do both most of the floors will be being rped but ill time skip a couple years/months
In that case any technique limits you wanna implement? For the first few floors I mean. Considering that actually becoming a Ranker is super rare in itself. The group would be a quite formidable and rare batch composing of an Irregular, Princess, Ten Families, and An Anima.
@Jasper19 By the way since most Shinsoo techniques take years to learn unless your 25th "I can copy any Shinsoo Technique thats just about talent" Baam. Will there be time skips?
Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by this; I can't think of anything that requires Princesses to kill their companions as a test of loyalty. It almost sounds like you're describing Androssi's situation, which wasn't to do with her being a Princess candidate exactly but was specific to her situation.
I guess we have different interpretations about Snake Charmer's role then. To me, he was the one tasked with finding and then raising any regulars with the capabilities to be Princesses. Considering how long a Zahard servant's life can be, it wouldn't be farfetched to think Andorsi's upbringing was not a one in time thing but a tried and true procedure. Especially with the fact that someone is supposed to gather and raise only the cream of the crop. Don't mind it too much just me disecting, analysing, and theorizing.
I imagine most Princess's don't lament their situation; a fair number of them seem to be loyal to Zahard if nothing else. You're heavily restricted in that you can't marry or have children, but in return you become one of the most powerful beings in the Tower and for Princess's who aren't from a powerful family becoming a Princess Ranker means elevating your family into a position of power and fortune.
No that's not whats depressing to me. See when your a 10 Great Families kid 10/10 times you have probably already participated in contests for power within the household due to your Mom/Dad. Eventually, you're normalized to such situations that it's just natural and fighting for being a Princess isn't so hard to stomach.
But when it comes to Regulars being converted into Princesses must be hard to fight tooth and nail for your survival and eliminating your fellow competitors who you no doubt grew close too for the purpose of testing loyalty.
