I fully expect that...but he can't go back to Nechara without Exalting, that would be sure death. I was thinking of "going back to Nechara is sure death!" (Principle or Tie of Fear).<br/><br/>And yes, it is going to be, but he is accepting of the ways of the Lookshy. After all, his troubles wouldn't have existed if Nechara was following the Immaculate precepts - his nemesis has awakened Essence due to his heritage, and Ivan doesn't. We know he would have to ignore that intimacy after Exalting, but that's part of the reason he's got so much Willpower... :P<br/><br/>The other reason is that "unbending will" was part of his character concept since before I wrote the first stat. As a result, as y'all can notice, he's a martial artist who has physical abilities as his<em>tertiary 8-)!</em><br/>Actually, I've been thinking of "Daring, perseverance and a flexible strategy trump everything" as a Defining Principle instead...which one do<strong>you</strong>like better?
