Lightning strike:

Playing Masonry 2.0 yesterday. Remember yesterday's blog when I mentioned a third part of Masonry that kinda slipped out? Well, yesterday while playing him and we were fighting Council, I suddenly typed, "Vermin."

I started at it, and that's when the lightning strike's after-effects hit. What if, as time goes by, Masonry suddenly starts to believe he's a real Peacebringer? All these enemies are embodiments of pure evil, and he becomes suddenly extreme and has no tolerance for anything done against innocent people? Especially when it comes to his friends? He becomes, in his mind, pure Justice (with a capital J).

Where did these come from? Nathan had a sense that what he did was good, and the bad things he did he hid because he was embarrassed by them. Ben harbored a fear/hatred of the Voids after what they did to him, and this hatred was foremost in his mind when he moved into Nathan's body - which explains why Masonry rushes headlong into them, regardless of knowing that they kill him in 2, maybe 3 shots.

Masonry will believe that Voids and Quantums are the evillest creatures of the world. Nictus run a close second. And anyone who helps Voids and Quantums are just as bad. I think every 3rd bar or so I'll bring up this intolerance, and after he hits 30 or so it'll be every 3rd and sixth bar. We'll see how that runs.
