Handle: Void (EndlessVoid) Affiliation: Merovingian Secondary Affiliation: Exile Political Preference: Nihilist Belief in Neo: The One is a necessary part in the current System. Neo served his role as any human or machine could hope to serve theirs. His purpose finished, his time is simply over. Anything that remains past its time would be classified as an Exile. There is some sympathy with such a condition befalling a human host... But not much. On the Question of Freeing Minds: Those who wish to be freed should be freed. Those who wish to become something more should be allowed to alter themselves to fit their beliefs. It is the burden of the System not to curtail the expression of desire, but rather the desire itself. If human beings have no desire to be freed, they will not seek it. The flaw with the Matrix is that such a desire seems unable to be quashed, at least while humanity, in its immaculate imperfection, continues to exist. On the Matrix: The Matrix is the closest thing to perfection. But it is not in itself perfect. This is because there still exists the flaw of free will, prevalent among those of human distinction. A truly perfect system is one in which nothing goes wrong, nor has the possibility to go wrong. In short, a perfect system does not exist. On the Real: Irrelevant, beyond the fact that the Real must be altered in the same fashion as the Matrix for a perfect system to be upheld.

repost from my vector entry;
Handle: Tytanya
Affiliation: Merovingian
Political Preference: Hostile (unsure how that works?)
Belief in Neo: If he really had such power why didnt he take control himself, I guess he was just a guy in the right place at the right time.
On The Question of Freeing Minds: They are better off and more use to us where they are.
On the Matrix: The Matrix is a world of oppertunity we redpills can shape in our own image....imagination is our only limitation.
On the real: Our existence there is a small price for the almost limitless potential we have inside, however there must be some way to overcome the limitations it places on our longevity.

Belief in Neo: He was special but not "God" in any sense of the word. He is as special to Redpills as Redpills would be to Bluepills
On Freeing Minds: Stick to the truce. Those that want out of the pods, they get out. Those that choose the Matrix, get plugged in.
On the Matrix: It allows humans to be cared for. It was proven that we can't take care of ourselves. Even with what should be a unifiying goal of freedom from the Matrix, what every Zionist wants, there is infighting and treachery and death.

Belief in Neo: Neo was the savior to humanity. Unlike the previous version of the Anamoly, he chose a different path, led by love, which we know is both a trait that can not only be obtained by humans, but of sentient life as well, which is fitting, as he sacrificied his life for the peaceful coexistance between man and machine, something that has never been done since the Matrix was created. Because of this, my belief in Neo and his intentions are as strong as stone, and his dream must be protected at all costs.
On The Question of Freeing Minds: The act of freeing a mind is only done in which all possible outcomes would yield positive. I would only free a mind if he knew the complete truth of the situation, and his knowledge of the simulation was complete. Any other circumstance, the Bluepill will be unstable and a life will be waisted.
On the Matrix: The Matrix is necessary in order for the continuing coexistance between man and machine. Unfortunately, our mechanical brethren will never fully trust us again, and at our current situation, we are only making their decision that much easier. Until a time where peaceful coexistance can be obtained in the Real, by unscorching the sky, and reclaiming the service with our creations, creating a society of human and machines melded into one conscious existance, the Matrix must be sustained.

Belief in Neo: The truce was simply a stalemate, to quote an unknown, a "Cold War". Neo chose Trinity out of Love, and didn't know what to do next. When Smith copied himself, mimicing a virus, Neo seized this opportunity to end the war, fulfilling his BRAND as "The One", though not by the obvious chocie of rebuilding Zion, for a Matrix revision.
On The Question Of Freeing Minds: At first a solid supporter, but after Zion's propaganda wore off, when I started to miss everything I once knew, I thought of how the pil was forced onto me, and wouldn't curse an enemy with the same fate. Stop ruining these people's existences.
On The Matrix: Truly a marvel of logical genius,and understandably hard to accept. While the modus operandi is an enslaving and sinister one, nonetheless, compared to the knowledge of what truly is I would have chosen to stay plugged in, and live my once envyed life.

Belief in Neo: A man with no strings to guide him past paths he wished to take. We all retain what was gifted to him, if we beleive.
On The Question of Freeing Minds: Those who wish to hold light upon the images they receive, should not be hindered. It is a great tragedy when one cannot walk even the most basic of paths.
On the Matrix: A suffisticated mobile phone, a burden as such. To focus our pools of vision and paths in the direction of a farce renderes us blind to the future. The matrix would gain us no favour if we replenished the earth with what we keep warm in our minds.
