*Nods*
Our father deems those of us like myself an incredibly rare breed, and a necessary one. And I occupy a spot that could quite literally not be filled.

@Magnanimity

Why not? You can't teach someone?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I would love to be able to say I think it would.

@Magnanimity

Love to, so not that it really would.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Perhaps. But I exist in a space where I have truly unique capabilities to offer the family. In my absence, nothing could work the same.

@Magnanimity

But would it work well enough?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

My family and the people of the IA, of course. It never has to be specifically me, I suppose, but if I’m best fit for a role people depend on, who am I to decline?

@Magnanimity

That's one way to look at it. But you could also let someone else get the opportunity to step in if you feel like it's not what you want.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Moreso that there are always more important things to worry about, you know? Responsibility supersedes desire.

@Magnanimity

Who relies on you? If you're responsible, then someone has to be depending on you doing this, right?

<Snipped quote by Server>

I never have really thought about life strictly from the perspective of what I want. It’s an idea I abandoned a long time ago.

@Magnanimity

Giving up on hope, I'm guessing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Chuckles*
Perhaps because I ended up jaded to the whole idea? I feel terrible though, to be in my position purely because of what I am gifted with rather than having any sort of desire. But trust me, our family has far more than its fair share of hubris spread about.

@Magnanimity

What is it that you want to do with your life?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Definitely not quite that far. But idolization has effects, both on the end of society and the individual ego.

@Magnanimity

You seem pretty down to earth, I think. I would normally think someone like that would be full of themselves.

Leader within the family, a hero in public eye. I really dislike the nomenclature though. I strongly prefer thinking of it as private peacekeeping. People love having heroic idols to look up to but I think the jobs stays more pure without a public aspect to it.

@Magnanimity

Sort of like a secret police, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

No, not all. But several of us are. People seen as leadership pillars in the family, or people who carry the name as heroic figures, or celebrities in industry. I fall into the former two, as it happens.

@Magnanimity

Hero and a leader? You act like the hero type.
