Oh right, forgot to actually post on topic. I think it can be summarized neatly in song... to the tunes of every viking metal song out there:

For Victory or Death

Quote from: Amon Amarth

Time has come to wash our shame away
To erase the image of defeat
We have licked our wounds, restored our strength
And our vengeance will be, oh, so sweet

They thought they had us down
That we'd never rise again
They will learn that they were deadly wrong
What's owed will be repaid

Again we'll feed the wolves
And then vengeance will be ours
We'll split their skulls and spill their guts
Upon the frozen ground

Yeah, we'll never kneel again
Not to deity, nor men
Now they'll taste our bitter hate
What's owed will be repaid

So raise the flag once more
And the eagle will be fed
Once again we march to war
For victory or death

They arrived with talk of Hvitekrist
By force they wanted us to kneel
With their swords held to our throats they preached
But we will make them pay, we'll take their lives away

So raise, raise the flag once more
In the east the eagle will be fed
March again, we march to war
We will march for victory or death

Pain, the pain and suffering
Is but a bleak and distant fading dream
Shame, our disgrace, a withering thought
Now finally our names will be redeemed

Really? Then Ché's goal is creating Lazor-Kat (to counter the Lazor-dino's).

Hmm, I see that plan is flawed. Moving on...

1. Get drunk
2. Snort copious amounts of Crash while doing 1.
3. Sleep with as many women as possible while doing 1. & 2.
4. Blow things up while doing 1., 2., and maybe on occasion 3.

1 year later and all I have to say is:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Ari has never had goals.  She is designed as a reactive character.  Her "life goals" are already naturally achieved because Khanid.

I do like Triad's AT ad as it sums it all up rather nicely.

Continue his overall goal to enter into a position where directing and assisting in the mass-extermination of all the Union's true enemies becomes a reality, and meet all the short-term goals along the way to reach this overarching long-term one. Try and assist in the declaration of peace with all the unimportant enemies that waste time, resources and lives. Generally maintain his assets, capital and vessels and remain at peak-readiness at all times.

All the usual, in other words.

A year later nothing much has changed.

Building up capital and remaining somewhat low-key takes time and lots of effort.

Who knew.

From Håvamål:

Cattle die, kinfolk die
You yourself will also die
but your reputation will never die
if your victories and deeds be memorable

Quattras is sort of exploring his life right now. He's finally found a corp where he is comfortable and welcome to be whatever he wants, but is having trouble letting go of his past. He knows he wants to change careers, but hasn't done anything but kill for a living in years. With his education he could teach, but he lacks the experience to teach for E-Uni and would certainly not be welcome teaching at his alma mater, given his current affiliation.

Romantically he has a long-distance lover, a Sebestior, who has been harder and harder to reach lately. He has a schoolboy crush elsewhere, but recognizes it as such.

His group of friends has grown closer, giving him a sense of home that he hasn't had since childhood, but now he has to face himself and ask who he really wants to be.

I envision him tiring of his dealings with militia pilots and going on a journey into Anoikis, to test his mettle and find where he belongs.

It will be about six months before I can comfortably move him to w-space, so there's plenty of time for personal conflict in the meantime.

Current goal for Djimbo Pakkat - make some ISK, and keep the cluster moving with his new hauling service.. Long term goal would possibly to either reinforce the Syndicate's black market and trade... Or follow the path of a romanticised Intaki blockade runner... All with a smile, and good customer service.

SERIOUS ANSWER

What happens when your implants open a door to a world you didn't realize you could lose yourself in?

Katrina is indulging a dangerously addictive personality. Not just to the alcohol, but to the endorphin rush that her neural-links to I-RED's central databanks give her. She literally gets a 'high' from working, so much so that she sacrifices sleep, food, and socializing, just to work. The flowing river of

When she unplugs, she feels the heavy 'downer', so she drinks. Heavily, trying to drown that terrifying empty feeling that being alone in her own head gives her. She'll wander to a bar, order drink... and connect again. Because she's an addict. Because she can't help it. Because stepping out into reality is like going from flying an interceptor to swimming in quicksand. Because her mind is too slow, because she's perpetually drunk, because she doesn't want to face the headaches and reality.

All for the State. For Ishukone. For I-RED. For herself.

For One. More. High.

After all, with RDC's operational metrics running higher than ever, who's going to complain? Who would notice?

Nobody would notice until Kat starts to engage in self-destructive behaviour that is more obvious. At this point she seems more like an ideal State citizen. Maybe she just stays plugged in but doesn't produce *more* output and just can't be persuaded to take that corporate monthly break and looking worse all the time people might notice that this is not *just* a workaholic in its native habitat.
