Now, with the title I don't meant to suggest that Kali wasn't actually that impressive or something the like, she was, thematically(and by feats) one of the strongest, probably ever. What I meant is, I feel like in comparison to other powerful beings, she's just too 'simple', her own E.G.O seems to just gave her an amp to her already crazy physical stats, and maybe more control over mimicry, she didn't need more clearly tho, just pure power, skill and a reliable weapon, but again, in comparison to some Abnos that have crazy Hax, Elder Bloodfiends with their hemokinesis, other Colors with a handy gimmicks or the whole crazy bs that are Singularities as a whole, Kali stand up too much imo by seemingly lacking something like that, unless later on another entry, her E.G.O is retcon, or rather more deeply explained(?, I think LoR left a bit of space for that, either way, what are your thoughts on this?, does Kali's simplicity make her stand like a sore (no pun intended) thumb?

The title come out a tad weird, but basically, I'm wondering if Van on the new Tsuki canon could maintain that chill/easygoing, and pro-human self as seen on his few appearances, like on the Ell-Melloi storyline, obviously Van's an odd man by virtue of being as ancient as he is, and a DA to boot, but there he largely seems to be a nice old man, mostly enjoying human culture and life alongside his Daughters, rather than a malicious vampire, but again, that's on Fate Worlds, I wonder just how different he would be on Tsukihime, how much more powerful, being two ranks above plus his Idea of Blood, but mostly, would he be more 'rotten'?, after all he calmly watched Ciel's Town burn down, is financially supporting(albeit not eagerly iirc)the ritual to resurrect the Dark six, but more than that, the new Tsuki setting seems more cynical(?, regarding humanity's chances to thrive, then again, it could always be said that Van-Fem "loves" humanity on a twisted way, like a Beast, anyhow, I'm curious about what's your take on this.

I think the Middle Members, on the upper ladders might have a 'Beast' Motif, PM seem to love that after all, R-Corp, Old G-Corp, the Heishou, etc. Back on topic, imo, the Enhancement Tattoos as the former Singularity of a fallen wing, on it's highest level, could manifest Beast-like traits on it's user, for instance the two strongest members of the middle(both on an iffy position too, or in Tanya's case, not even one no more)we have seen, Tanya and Matthias both seem to have ties to an animal, this can be an stretch of my end, but bear with me, while I know a Distortion is something personal and unrelated to an external factor like the tattoos, I see this as more of a Meta 'connection', Tanya even after losing her faith on the Middle's familial ties, and instead cherishing the idea of individual might, was still up to cooperation, the Ensemble, so is fitting for her to still be a Wolf, a pack type of predator, dangerous on it's own, but sociable still, what about Matt then?, this could tie to a reading of his character i like a lot, Matthias was a Bear, Bears, especially males, are solitary animals, you can feed them and they might tolerate you, but in the end, they would always be savage and put themselves above anything else, like Matthias, he was able to feel 'love' but in the end, he was first, never a Wolf or a Lion, sociable animals, but a Bear, capable of kill even his own family, ofc there's Moses words about how the middle are all show, which holds weight since she's an experienced and brilliant woman, but i think some give more weight to her take than it should, she's a character in-world not an omniscient narrator, while needless to say, Middle Members are wackjobs, obviously, Matthias was his own type of beast, disowned for a reason imo. This all to say, i think it could be cool if each Great Sibling had some messed up freaky claw, what do you think on this?
