I read so many positive things and I agree with most of the varying ideas. Outstanding...!

For me, it's been very difficult to find the proper FC due to Gus's focus on what he does. I always wondered whether Gus might crack somewhere down the line and enroll in the military but figured it would be too far out of his spectrum. Thus, furthering his aether knowledge seemed like a better idea.
The point is, if you're going to role-play something of the sort, you will find the greatest character development is when things are out of your hand. It is humbling to play someone at the lowest end of the stick so that when your character does reach that Second Lt. rank, it feels well earned.
I know a few characters who have made military decisions strictly for IC reasons and I absolutely respect their commitment to the ideal.
Perhaps here, in this particular forum, lies the strength to make a completely new FC dedicated to our ideology. Might be interesting to see it held to such standards by talented players. Just a thought!
