The Doorway: a panfandom game

You know, I've been kind of sticking my head in the sand about all this stuff that's been going on lately. I've seen all the stuff on the news and the internet, people picking a side, saying this is right or that is right and I can't do it. I guess it's because I don't believe in heroes anymore. I'm not sure I believe in villains either.

They said my Dad, Mohan Ghale, was a hero. A freedom fighter trying to liberate Kyrat from the usurper who stole the throne. They called me the Son of Mohan as though it was a royal title. And yeah, I guess my Dad was a hero. But he was also an angry, violent, sexist man who murdered a two year old baby and probably would have murdered my Mom, his wife, if he'd been given the chance.

Pagan Min was a violent, despotic lunatic who ruled Kyrat with an iron hand, keeping everyone who opposed him subjugated or leaving them to the not-so-tender mercies of Yuma Lau or De Pleur. But he also loved my Mom. Deeply. Enough that he was willing to make peace for her and make me his heir. He loved Lakshmana, his daughter, my half-sister. And I'm pretty sure that he loved and cared about me, the son of his enemy, both back then and when I arrived back in the country.

Since I got here, I found out that Sabal turns Kyrat into a regressive religious state and turns Bhadra into a pale, hollow shell of the girl she was. But if I'd backed Amita instead, she'd have turned the country into a drug state and most likely murdered Bhadra.

So what is 'right'? And what is 'wrong'? I'm not sure I know anymore. I know accountability isn't a bad thing. My life was rapidly running off the rails until I decided to start being accountable for my actions, when I decided that I had to think about more than just me and what I wanted. Then I think I lost my way in Kyrat.

I don't know. I'm just rambling, I guess. Can't figure out what's going on in the world until I can figure out what's going on in my own head.
