Finally done with this one. Kind of a struggle, but hey I managed to get it done before the holidays. Quite tired at the moment so Lancer OC lore dump later.

Garland Vermilion, ancestral frame of House Vermilion, is known as the Divine Engine Ancestor.

House Vermilion has dedicated itself to a generation spanning goal; the absolute destruction of the Karrakin Baronies.

Fly True - Motto of House Vermilion

This has been a historical source of friction between the Albatross and House Vermilion, nominally allied against the Baronies. Vermilion has produced some of the greatest Albatross to ever live, as well as some of its most conflicted.

Every scion of Vermilion that becomes an Albatross bears the same burden. Balancing the imperfect reality of the Albatross' ideals, Vermilion's ancient grudge, and the expectations of stewarding the Divine Engine Ancestor. With Mackenzie, its latest champion, that delicate balance has finally broken.

Wait wait wait. "How it should have ended" is still around? That feels like an archaeological discovery...
...
Is it still crap?

Honestly it feels like all of the old youtube channels have just gotten worse over the years as the creators have gotten more tired, and running out of new ideas.

Like they'll join some network, go into partnerships, get a writing team, or whatever else, and instead of helping, it ends up being a detriment to the quality. A lot of channels built their followings on sharing their passion, but passion isn't infinite.

It's sad to say, but most ideas, concepts, and formats have a shelf life. There's only so much you can do with it before there's no more meat on that bone, and even the marrow can get quickly exhausted.

Whether it's a video, comic, or novel series, most of them will hit a point where they should end, but a lot of creators/artists keep dragging things out way beyond its lifetime.

Capitalism has some blame in this. If you're doing something that gets you paid, and maybe is your entire livelihood, then ending it just because you're out of ideas could be bad for you. If you try to start something new, you'll lose audience, and income.

Though I'm sure some people would do this even if money wasn't a factor. I mean, it's not like this concept doesn't show up in stories published for free as well. I guess some people are bad (or unwilling) at recognising when something has run out of juice.

I just think that in a better society, creators wouldn't be so scared to let stories have an ending.

... that turned into quite the trip. Hopefully there's a point in there, but regardless I'll take my own advice, and stop. :P
