"Stand tall, face forward, act with certainty, and always walk with determination at all times." -Ranken Kusanagi ( full version of the one used by Sakura Kusanagi)
"The uncatchable wind, the immovable mountain, the unrelenting tide; a single, flawless diamond. The power of one mortal soul." -Tsing Ramsey's personal mantra taught by Amakusa Ren.
"For judgment of Gluttony and Greed; how would you measure the weight of a human life. A pound of wheat for a pound of gold. I will consume your power before it consumes you - call the hunger, Scales." -Famine summoning 'Scales'.
Most of the more powerful characters in Shadowlark have a personal mantra that draws power, summons a powerful artifact, or simply gives them confidence. This is actually kind of an important factor in the comic as it plays on the idea of sepperate motivations and philosophies of the various protagonists. Although some of them are going to need some streamlining (famine, war, and pestilence all have fairly confusing summoning mantra for their respective weapons). But I at least have the basic undertones finished for them (the before mentioned example all have references to either Revelations or Ragnorok.
Does this have anything to do with an update on the comic status?
Side note; I really need to stop taking personality tests...
"Analytical Thinkers are reserved, quiet persons. They like to get to the bottom of things - curiosity is one of their strongest motives. They want to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They do not really need much more to be happy because they are modest persons. Many mathematicians, philosophers and scientists belong to this type. Analytical Thinkers loathe contradictions and illogicalness; with their sharp intellect, they quickly and comprehensively grasp patterns, principles and structures. They are particularly interested in the fundamental nature of things and theoretical findings; for them, it is not necessarily a question of translating these into practical acts or in sharing their considerations with others. Analytical Thinkers like to work alone; their ability to concentrate is more marked than that of all other personality types. They are open for and interested in new information.
Analytical Thinkers have little interest in everyday concerns - they are always a little like an “absent-minded professor” whose home and workplace are chaotic and who only concerns himself with banalities such as bodily needs when it becomes absolutely unavoidable. The acknowledgement of their work by others does not play a great role for them; in general,they are quite independent of social relationships and very self-reliant. Analytical Thinkers therefore often give others the impression that they are arrogant or snobby - especially because they do not hesitate to speak their mind with their often harsh (even if justified) criticism and their imperturbable self-confidence. Incompetent contemporaries do not have it easy with them. But whoever succeeds in winning their respect and interest has a witty and very intelligent person to talk to. A partner who amazes one with his excellent powers of observation and his very dry humour.
It takes some time before Analytical Thinkers make friends, but then they are mostly friends for life. They only need very few people around them. Their most important ability is to be a match for them and thus give them inspiration. Constant social obligations quickly get on their nerves; they need a lot of time alone and often withdraw from others. Their partner must respect this and understand that this is not due to the lack of affection. Once they have decided in favour of a person, Analytical Thinkers are loyal and reliable partners. However, one cannot expect romance and effusive expressions of feelings from them and they will definitely forget their wedding anniversary. But they are always up to a night spent with stimulating discussions and a good glass of wine!"
Er...dammit.
that particular test is here:
