The first part of the Code had to represent the Doombringer, the lord of Retribution = Hoar. One where people had to know that Retribution is different then Revenge. A code also has to be simple and short. Something easy to memorize, Retribution means the dispensing or receiving of reward or punishment especially in the future. That to me, has always ment to be reactionary, to incedents
.
Do you remember Rico Arnen? He taught me that the best way to care about one job, The best way to make sure everything is done right, is to be highly passioante about your job. The more Passion one has, the more they care about what they are doing. The more a person cares about what they are doing the more the want to do it the proper way. I figured the second line of my code should reflect this. Fighting the evils that lie in this city, is going to look like a city at war. Its going to look like complete and utter chaos.
Speaking of Disorder, One has to be able to think outside the box in order to achieve there goals, with the ultimate goal of peace. Eliminating ones enemy is going to look like a confused mess that is completley disorganized, but the end result of there being no cults, no gangs, no foreign agents or no religious leaders fighting for control. In the end there will be peace, but before we get there we must admit we need chaos.
I don't have a great memory, I been alive to long to fully trust my memory these days, but if I recal correctly Desayunde taught me the following. That one gains more knowledge, good or bad through loss. To take your pain and hardships and learn something from them. That if one always has an easy life, they will never know challenge. One needs to know challenge in order to gain experience, and gain knowledge of the areas that are lacking that experience.
I know that Stane taught me this last one. He was one of the greatest strategists I ever met. He taught me that the only true way to defeat your enemy is to simply outsmart them at every turn. That there is no cowards in combat, only victores and losers.
That all avenues must be considered and potentially used in order to achieve victory over those that are your enemy. That everything must be considered in order to win, and the winner will be the one who out thinks and out maneuver there
opponent.
The above reasoning is why I came up with the code of conduct for the Vexx. The following Code of Conduct.
Action Through Reaction
Discipline Through Passion
Peace Through Chaos
Knowledge through Suffering
Victory through Cunning
This is the way of the Vexx
