Let's use the wall as not to clutter the RP with bracketed messages...

It's funny you mention honor, as the Fate elements in the story are an expansion and continuation of a storyI'm slowly working. The HF route had Illya renounce to 'touch' Akasha and give her life to save her Brother. Instead of gaining knowledge and power to 'rule them all' she saved her bro. It ties with my other work also, where the Arbiter (a position a la The Living Tribunal) after stoping countless of artificially ascended or the one helped ascend by Higher beings in they mad quests (the fact is no mortals ascended naturally or by evolution) Illya was the first to not be intoxicated by power, thus she was saved and offered a position of a Watcher, the 'Gods' that each oversee a Multiverse.

Aro/Arael is the same being split in two and both exist inside one core so to speak. One is honorable, as he would give people the chance to admit they are wrong and such. Will fight fair and in the open, no funny busines and things like that. While the other can also be said he's somewhat honorable, he's mostly prideful, as he never uses techniques and skills learned from others of lent by a Shoggoth or Hinezumi wife. He only fight with his own stuff. I try to make him as a being beyond mortals that do not share their concepts, beliefs and such as Good or Evil and find priorities in things that mortals often find mundane and simple. Thus he will fight on an equal ground but as he wins, he has the right to claim the opponents life as his own and being an Arbiter he will most often than not finish them off. He don't kill out of malice or such things, even if sometimes I try to portray it simply to sidmiss is as basically foreign concepts for higher beings.

There are several works, games, animes... that uses the quote in a war/battle what matters is to win/survive, everything else is meaningless.
