Alright, I’ll try to answer these the best way I can, please highlight any inaccuracies with my answers, if possible.
A fellow predator is disrespecting you and your clan, calling you weak and helpless. He goes as far as to shove you. A true bully. What does your pred personally do? What do you think SHOULD be done, subjectively?
With the insults, I’d retort/reply to them depending on the gravity of the insults, considering the fact that disrespecting me/my clan is to disrespect my honour, which in the yautja society is one of the most disrespectful things you could do to another yautja.
With it escalating to a shove, To’jan would respond with an insult and shove of his own, his pride not allowing something like this to pass. It would likely become a scuffle with the other predator. I personally see something like a shove to be the yautja (and CM for that sake) equivalent of spitting in someone’s face.
With the shove, I believe an action of such disrespect is grounds for either an equal response, or an honour duel. Otherwise you end up proving the “bully’s” point, that being that you are too weak & cowardly to respond to the insults. To not respond to such a serious showing of disrespect, I believe to be unbecoming of any hunter. With their honour being their most valued thing, why would they allow it to be tarnished so heavily?
Under what circumstances do you feel it correct to thrall someone? Would your pred personally thrall anyone? Why?
I’d like to think any action befitting of a “true warrior”, would be grounds to thrall someone. An example would be thus:
An injured marine is walking back to the FOB from the frontline, alone, they’re missing their primary firearms & ammunition, their only weapon being a machete. While they’re walking back to the FOB, they get attacked by an injured defender. In response, they pull out their machete and attempt to fight it, barely managing to kill it before falling into crit.
While I’m not too sure on whether or not I could grab them and save them, as I don’t exactly know whether or not they’re considered a thrall at that point. Though, if I could, I’d say they would be thrall-able, proving themselves a skilled warrior.
To’jan himself would likely thrall a human, finding the widely different personalities & levels of bravery/cowardice present in each human bizarre, him thralling them and putting them through various challenges to try and find an underlying cause for these differences to be present in such an inferior race.
What would your pred’s approach be to gear recovery? Are they more guns blazing, or would they err on the side of caution?
To’jan would take a far more cautious approach towards recovering gear, as they believe there is a time and a place for spectacles & killing to occur, the hunting ground being the main place for that.
To’jan also being well aware that recovering yautja technology is a far more dangerous task when it’s on the marine ship, it being the “home turf” of the marines, he’s fully aware that it’s far easier to make an error and add to the list of gear needing recovered, rather than lessening it, causing him to move with extra caution in his steps.
