I've had a really hard time ever since Omerta Syndicate folded coming up with some reason for Shin to really feel the old holy fire. ICly, Omerta Syndicate was a long and drawn out surrendering of her principles in order to gain the things that her family needed to survive.
Now, thanks to Shakor, Shin has a purpose! An unexpected one! Shin, who has always sympathized with the Republic, has turned into a
raging, frothing-at-the-mouth enemy of the Republic! Which is not the typical position for a Gallentean to take. Even a Gallentean working for the State.
At the same time, she's starting to see that as the Republic has to come to terms with the Amarr Empire, so do the Federation and the State have to come to terms with one another. While she used to scoff at folks who wanted to make Caldari Prime into a symbol, she is gradually coming to the view that the only real future for the Gallenteans and the Caldari-Prime Caldari is together. What exactly this means isn't really clear to her, yet.
In any case, hooray for warmongering Shakor!
This screed has been subjected to coherence dampeners, which have converted my normally well-thought-out writing into something a little more like a six year old's impressions of sensationalist talk radio. The coherence dampener of choice for this evening has been Morgado ruby port.
Please chat Shin up ICly about this. I'm eager to develop this some more via RP happy funtime.
