Who would you rather be? - Alvin Fox - 06-09-2011
"Those are the guys that stole our uniforms!" -Guard 1
"And beat the shit out of us too." -Guard 2
Which version of Glaeken? I could go for pre-Keep Glaeken. I want the power and immortality of Rasalom but tears of unfathomable sadness don't sustain me.

I do not fathom how anyone of good heart would want to see Rasalom in any situation than his final one.

I don't want to be either of them.
I wanna be Jack.

Knowledge is power, power corrupts -- study hard . . . be evil.

We don't see Hitler ruling the world, do we?
That may be, but we see the lessons that Hitler taught alive and well in many leaders today.
I'll side with Glaeken any day.

Can't argue that too hard, brother.

Seems unfair that the Otherness gives Rasalom a vast array of quasi-god-like powers and the ability to resurrect himself multiple times, while the Ally gives Glaeken mere conditional immortality, a slightly enhanced physique, and a magical sword. If the Ally really wanted to beat the Otherness, why didn't it give Glaeken similar power levels as Rasalom? I've always been curious about that.
Unless Rasalom's powers were accumulated during the First Age through his own, independent ventures and weren't actually provided by the Otherness.
Anyway, I'll have to go with mad4tunes and say I'd rather be Jack than either Glaeken or Rasalom.

Hmmmm....Ah ain't sho' if Jack gets his good rest at naight...
But A-dono, the Ally doesn't really care about our little blue world.
And, in Jack's case, isn't really a friend.

No, but it wants to beat the Otherness and claim Earth simply because it considers our world its property, so I would think it would be willing to pull out all the stops to win.
And I say I'd rather be Jack because he isn't immortal. Quite frankly, the idea of immortality has never been appealing to me.
