@Gear: Well, wait until I can actually characterize Bryce, he would be the variant of "I've been through hell, and I don't want to see another person experience what I did" type of mentor....
Well, thats what I have been trying at (Not sure if it was been working or not >_>)
Then again, the Vanguards and the Wardens are very much like that, they know they are weapons, and sooner or later, they would be come obsolete... So what they do is fight for a future that is beyond themselves.
