#he doesn't have to deal with godly politics as long as he keeps up with his duties

After being caught by mortals, Ichor was desperate. He'd been stolen away from Emil and his family, and couldn't do a single thing about it. He'd been revealed to his kingdom and his people for the monster he was. For the God he was.
He was a creature, and he'd been caged by enemy soldiers.
Already half-way across the continent, he'd been locked away and cut off from all communications. The other gods. The world. He knew nothing.
And along with that, his captors were testing the limits of his godly power. He could be injured and damaged, tortured, without any sort of repercussions to his captors. He was amassing scars and losing himself.
Then when he was finally brought back into the daylight, things had changed. The mortals looked different, a lot of time had passed, their weapons were more powerful and deadly.
They held him in place, and he was forced to watch as they snuffed out minor gods, one by one. He must've been locked up for ages, seeing how many gods had been captured in his wake. He couldn't help them, couldn't even save himself.
The roar of the crowd, the cheers of the mortals. It was disgusting. Yet he couldn't feel rage. The same reason he loved the mortals was the one that brought him here. Their capability was endless, each one unique and powerful. They could change. Unlike the gods. All he felt was sorrow.
So when all was done, they dragged him off and loaded him into a cart. He didn't even bother fighting back when they dragged him out into the sunlight and dropped him on the grass.
It wasn't until he was brought back into a dark area that he brought himself back and realized that he was with the other gods. His brother was holding him, trying to get through to him. Chance was there, a warm comforting hand on his back.
He could only cling to his brother and shudder.
It was only a few days later that he'd learn of the Gods losing the war and being sealed away in the very catacombs their followers once used to take refuge. Now few worshippers remained, and the gods were nearly powerless. Ichor most of all.

So a few days ago I was on TV tropic looking up a few shows I like and of course I'm a huge Umineko Fan so I looked up the character and everybody who knows me just a little bit now I said I ship this one character with Black Hat. So why not list all hee traits that he would probably like about her. In the end I think the two would get along with each other.
Affably Evil: She is completely indifferent towards the suffering of everybody else, but she sure is polite.
All-Powerful Bystander: She has more than enough power to solve any problem in the setting or destroy everything in the blink of an eye if she wanted to. Fortunately, Featherine prefers to remain a spectator for the most part while she lets Bernkastel cause all the trouble she wants. The one time she does intervene in the plot during her "fight" with Lambdadelta we see that everything would have been lost with Featherine as an active enemy.
Always Someone Better: Bernkastel is regarded as the strongest Witch, but even she knows not to get on Featherine's bad side. Even Lambdadelta, who was more than holding her own against Bernkastel earlier, is terrified at the thought of having Featherine as an opponent. It makes sense when you realize Featherine is not just a Witch, but a Creator as well. She may just be a Witch in name only.
Ambiguously Evil: Both Bern and Lambda describe her as extremely nasty, and indeed she doesn't think much of humans, but she doesn't really have any Kick the Dog moments, and in the end she gives up on publicly revealing the contents of Eva's diary, thus preserving the catbox as Battler and Beato wished.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Delivers one to Lambdadelta in Episode 8. Special mention to the fact that Featherine didn't even have fight at all; she simply wrote down "I utterly defeated Lambdadelta and sliced her into pieces". And then poof, Lambda is completely dismembered.
The Dreaded: Anyone that can inspire genuine fear from Lambdadelta and even Bernkastel is definitely not to be trifled with.
Evil Mentor: Implied to have been Bernkastel's in the ???? of EP6.
The Fog of Ages: She has lived for so long that she needs a special horseshoe-shaped device around her head to keep her memories and avoid insanity.
God Is Evil: Averted, though just barely. She's not so much evil as she is uncaring of how she achieves her goals... though given the things she does do in the story (and apparently before it), you'd be forgiven for thinking it was played straight.
Greater-Scope Villain: Featherine is said to be a Witch thousands of times more powerful and evil than Bernkastel could ever be, but she never becomes a direct villain to the story and remains a bystander for the most part. However, she is indirectly responsible for all the problems from EP7 afterwards as she was the one who gave Bernkastel the power to keep messing with the game board because she wanted Bernkastel to rip the game apart for her and give her the answers to the mystery.
Insult Backfire: When Lambda pulls a You Monster! on her, she takes it as a compliment, which really makes you wonder what amount of chaos she caused in her distant past. It's fully possible that, being Bernkastel's mentor, she possess a trolling capacity far surpassing her miko Bern's... and considering Bern is the most malicious character in the story, that is a scary thought.
It Amused Me: The main reason she doesn't fit into God Is Evil instead. Physical Godliness and lack of a Freudian Excuse notwithstanding, she's still a Witch at heart and will do whatever it takes to keep herself entertained.
Lack of Empathy: Definitely, but better off than Bernkastel at least. Like any other Witch, Featherine sees human lives as nothing but means of entertainment, but she can show her respect to her opponents when it's due and at least now, doesn't seek to actively make others miserable for amusement's sake.
Manipulative Bitch: In the past, she's used Bernkastel as her monkey wrench to unlock the mysteries of worlds and game boards alike, whether Bern wanted to do it or not. Worse yet, Bern was aware she was being used but couldn't do anything about it because Featherine was just that good. This does in fact happen in the story, where she makes Bern the Game Master to crack the mystery of Rokkenjima when the rest of the cast loses interest in it, using Bern's desire for revenge against the family as her motivation.
Offstage Villainy: Bernkastel, the cruelest example of a witch so far seen, finds her a hundred times more horrific than she could ever be. The evidence is suggested at, but never concretely shown. Within the series, Featherine never does anything nearly as horrible as the other witches. Of course, Bernkastel is no doubt very biased, seeing as how she came into existence because of Featherine's callousness and indifference. She probably has room to exaggerate.
The Older Immortal: By far the oldest witch in the series.
The Omnipotent: Without a doubt, the most powerful character in the setting. She's perfectly capable of pausing the plot when she wants a scene to play out a different way.
Outside-Context Problem: Needless to say Featherine is in a whole other league compared to the other witches Battler deals with in the story, which is really saying something. A single wave of her hand to make Bernkastel the Game Master is all she needed to do turn Battler's happy ending into a non-ending.
Physical God: One of the Creators described in Episode 4's TIPS.
The definitive example is that she's ultimately the one responsible for bringing Bernkastel as we know herinto existence. It's heavily implied that she was the one who abandoned Bern as a piece in the Unwinnable game (that she ended up winning anyway), and while it's never explained how she pieced together/recruited all the physically and emotionally destroyed Rika Furudes, it's made clear in the narration that Featherine was the one who taught what would eventually become her miko and the Cruelest Witch. And why? Because she was bored and wanted someone to help stave off future boredom.It's not so much that she meant harm by creating Bern, more that she doesn't care as long as she is entertained.
If you want a more "literal" example, she can use her power to rewrite the script of reality itself and have people do as she dictates. And you would never even know she's doing it.
Really 700 Years Old: She is said to be older than Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, both who are said to be centuries old. By the way it's alluded, Featherine might as well be a Time Abyss.
Retired Monster: Given what Bernkastel and Lambadelta say about (and to) her, this is heavily implied. Featherine herself personally thinks she's much worse.
Rewriting Reality: Her power as a Witch/Creator and as an Author Avatar. Featherine can literally rewrite the script of reality itself to make events go as however she likes. She doesn't even need to write how things go, she only needs to write the result.
Story-Breaker Power:
Literally. When Lambdadelta tries to attack her with magic, Featherine just says that she doesn't like the development of the story, stops time and begins editing the script of the story herself. Not willing to write a fight scene at the moment, she starts from the end of the fight where she dictates Lambdadelta was smashed into a bookshelf and had all her limbs severed. She doesn't even think about how she accomplished such a brutal attack, deciding to "figure it out later". When Featherine starts time again, Lambdadelta ends up just as she wrote, with "what the fuck just happened" being her last conscious thoughts before dying.
She couldn't comprehend the 'something' that Featherine had killed her with. However, that was only natural. After all, Featherine herself hadn't decided what the 'something' was. However, Lambdadelta did understand one thing. She was already dead.
You Cannot Grasp the True Form: The memory device around her head also preserves her form. At one point in the past it got damaged, abruptly changing her personality and appearance. Her witch power also allows her to weaponize this. Refer to the spoiler in Story-Breaker Power above.

Buster: What kind of amateur do you think I am? Rio: Not tryna get you into that much trouble before you even start there Rio: save that for later Rio: and watch this later when you can listen too for the full experience Rio: [vid] Buster: I have headphones I'll do it now Buster: Hold on Rio: Okay Buster: Oh fuck Buster: You really are proving yourself, aren't you? Rio: Just keeping up with you Buster: No argument here Rio: I like watching myself back Buster: The kids behind me better not be watching you too, I'll have to start a fight & get a rep for being turned on my punching lads Rio: 😂 Rio: You DO like punching things but Buster: Not this much Buster: You're gonna make me have to walk out, aren't you? Rio: Well, only you've got headphones on, remember Rio: you make the best noises Buster: You must really like watching yourself to be this good at filming yourself Buster: This is like next level Rio: Ain't the first time I've done it, put it that way Rio: when I've managed to get some time to myself Rio: gotta make the most Buster: Girl of many talents Rio: You're gonna make me blush Buster: You're doing worse to me Buster: Fucking hell Rio: I owed you Rio: debt not cleared yet either, like Buster: What do I have to do to get sent home from America? 'Cause believe me I'm tempted Rio: Let's have fun finding out, golden boy Buster: Alright Buster: Taking my headphones out would be a good start, like but you know me & sharing Rio: It's just for you Buster: You are Buster: You're mine Rio: Does saying that turn you on as much as hearing it does for me Rio: 'cos fuck Buster: Yeah it does Rio: It's true Buster: I'm biting my lip so hard right now Buster: There's gonna be blood in my mouth for you Rio: You're impossible Rio: how are you fucking every fantasy I've ever had rolled into one Buster: If you find out, ask how you're the best thing that ever happened to me, yeah? Rio: You must look so fucking good right now Rio: how has no one noticed Buster: Maybe someone has Buster: I'll find out when we're forced to do icebreakers later Rio: Lemme know, babe Buster: Are you sure you wanna? Rio: What you mean? Buster: You know what I mean Rio: Oh Rio: yeah Rio: don't Buster: Don't tell you or don't do it Rio: Don't tell me Rio: you can do what you want Rio: got a boyfriend, don't I Buster: No you don't Buster: Drew's more of a threat than he is Rio: So you keep saying Rio: it ain't like you're gonna go Rio: however long you're there Rio: without sex Buster: I told you, I can do anything Rio: and anyone, right Buster: If I want Rio: What do you want Buster: Dump your boyfriend then ask me Rio: It's not that easy is it Buster: Why not? Rio: He's Rio: it's hard to explain, really Buster: Try Rio: You've seen how he posts Rio: he's intense Rio: been hurt before bad, I don't need to be the next Buster: I can be intense Buster: & I can hurt him Rio: You don't need to Rio: I'm the one in the wrong Buster: Fine Rio: I want to Rio: I will Rio: I can't just fire him a text and pretend it's done to you Rio: I'm not trying to lie to you Buster: Yeah don't Rio: I'm not Rio: I ain't going to Rio: I'm sick of that Buster: Me too Rio: I'll sort it Buster: Take your time, I'm not coming back until summer Rio: Be married if I left it that long, Christ Buster: I already told you I'd stop the wedding Buster: Just don't have a kid, you'd be nearly ready to drop when I walk through the door Rio: No chance Rio: that'd be a nightmare Buster: You're 16 of course it would Rio: Yeah but specifically with him Rio: don't need that connection forever Rio: thank you Buster: I could kill him but I'd rather it didn't come to that for the sake of you not having him as a baby daddy Rio: I must be special Rio: could've just offered to win a custody battle for me Buster: Obviously Buster: Like you said, I enjoy punching shit Rio: You have that in common, actually Buster: Don't Buster: Never compare me to him Rio: Sorry Buster: There's no comparison Rio: I know that better than anyone Rio: promise Buster: You would tell me Buster: If you couldn't sort it Rio: Yeah Rio: It's not anything serious, don't worry Buster: Just know that I'd do anything for you Buster: If things ever get serious, with whoever or whatever Rio: You're really decent, you know Rio: not something I thought I'd be saying about you, honestly Rio: but you are Buster: Shut up Rio: Secret's safe with me Buster: It's not a secret, it's an untruth Rio: Not to me Buster: Like you said, you must be special then Rio: Maybe Buster: Definitely Buster: We all have to own what we are & what we're not Rio: Agreed Rio: so we're special, yeah? Buster: & Indecent Rio: Like the sound of that Buster: 😈 Rio: You can be my devil too Buster: Easily done Rio: Long as you want me to feel good still Buster: Forever then Rio: Deal Buster: Still not cutting my beautiful hand open to seal it though Buster: No offense, babe Rio: Other more fun ways to get blood from you Rio: I'll bite your lip instead Buster: One day I won't have to beat you to it Rio: I'll put it on my calendar Buster: Throw me a private party, yeah? Rio: You know I will Rio: everyone else can wait Rio: I'll have missed you most Buster: I can't wait to show you properly how much I want you Rio: I want you all summer, seriously Rio: don't make any plans Buster: Okay Rio: Do you know how fucking needy I'm gonna be by then Buster: Believe me, I know Buster: You haven't touched me & can't Rio: Baby Rio: tell me when you're alone again Rio: don't care what the time is Buster: Are you sure? It's still morning here, it'll be ages before they're done with this socialising bullshit Rio: Yeah Rio: It'll be weird sleeping here Buster: Alright Buster: You distract me, I'll distract you Rio: Another deal Buster: Yeah Rio: I'm not at school yet Rio: and fuck school anyway Buster: Fuck your school Buster: This one is epic Buster: It's like I'm in a film or some shit Rio: You're adorable Buster: Shut up Rio: I'm not taking the piss Rio: you are Buster: Adorable ain't the word, babe Rio: You like being called a nerd less Buster: So don't Rio: It's not a diss Buster: It ain't a compliment Rio: You told me not to when you're in public Buster: Well, maybe I've changed my mind Rio: Come on Rio: you know how hot I think you are Buster: You know I like hearing it Rio: I've lost count of how many times I've cum thinking about you today Buster: I've lost count of how many times I've had to stop myself Rio: You're gonna blow the biggest load when you do Rio: such a waste Rio: you'll have to show me at least Buster: They're giving us a break in a sec, you can have it then Rio: Yes please Buster: I don't need coffee, I need you Rio: I know you do Rio: So cum for me daddy, I want it, I wanna make you feel as good as you've made me Buster: Rio Rio: Buster Buster: I can't say it out loud until they let me out of here but I want to Rio: Will you Rio: record it so I can keep it Buster: Yeah Buster: It won't look as good as yours, I don't film myself as much as you but I will Rio: You should Rio: you're very pretty Buster: I know Rio: and hot Rio: it's rude Buster: It's about to benefit you Buster: Where do you want me to go?

Hi Lavi! Could you please do a philosophy101 for anyone who want to read Alchemy Wars and doesn't remember much of high school classes? Take your time and thank you for being the enlighted empress of this hellsite! ♡
HELLO ANON SORRY FOR THE LATENESS HERE I AM :D first of all thanks I’ll try to stay enlightened
other than that: TO READ ALCHEMY WARS YOU NEED TWO BASIC THINGS: CALVINISM, SPINOZA AND DESCARTES, plus basics of catholicism doctrine. now:
I once went and explained at length how calvinism functions and the basics behind it plus the basic differences with catholicism, so I’m referring you to this post here which should have you covered re the basic issue that alchemy wars has which is predestination vs free will, which does get explored through the clakkers vs humans ordeal (basically: if they have free will they have a soul so they’re not mere robots, if they don’t then they’re just machines and are predestined to work for humans same as humans are predestined for whatever is their destiny, nvm that the success of the dutch empire in AW is all justified on predestination which shows that god chose them to be world leaders when they built the clakkers and so on). 
now, DESCARTES BASICS:
other than being famous for naming the cartesian plane to my horror because I hate cartesian geometry, descartes is fundamental/famous for a few basic things that changed modern philosophy
first is the conception of I think therefore I am, as in, when you have to decide at least ONE thing that you can be sure of in the world when concerning the existence of things, then thinking means you exist
his main book is the discourse on method, which advocates using reason to investigate all science and every problem you have in life
the method in question is thinking that everything you can doubt is false (except for mathematics in theory, but you can’t be sure that the devil might not be leading you on YEAH I KNOW I KNOW), first of all your perception of what you sense
but one thing that’s certain is your thoughts which prove you have reasons
therefore if you think you are
the method can then be adapted to anyone as long as you use the doubt system and you have to build it on the concept that your thoughts are the one valid point you can move forward, and of course your method of choice when learning things is deduction since it’s not a thing you baese on your senses
the other thing you need to know is the soul/body question, as in: soul and body for descartes are one thing only and they’re mixed up, there’s no soul commanding the body and so on but you can distinguish some things that only the soul is in charge of and things the body is in charge of, which are knowledge and sensation respectively, and the body basically tells the soul how to keep it alive and the soul has to translate its needs and so on, and of course if you make mistakes it’s all your body’s fault and, thinks that you might need to read AA, he compared the body to a clock where sickness is like a machine getting broken
also, thinking is something only humans can do, humans who have a body that works like a machine (animals have no reasoning or knowledge and feel no pain)
also the proof of god’s existence is that the reasoning we produce that understands the truth has to necessarily come from god ie an absolute perfect being that inspires it to us
last thing you should know: that he thought the soul resided in the pineal gland. I KNOW, IT’S TOTALLY RANDOM THAT’S WHY DESCARTES MAKES ME KIND OF LOL MOST TIMES BUT ANYWAY THAT’S VITAL FOR ALCHEMY WARS REMEMBER THAT
other than that, SPINOZA:
not philosophy related: the guy spent his life working as a lens maker/optician rather than accept to teach his philosophy and good thing for him he worked in the netherlands or publishing his stuff would have been complicated
he was famous for being a cartesian student and having written commentaries about descartes, 
he came from a jewish family that was forced to convert so he had an idea of how religious oppression felt like
he got excommunicated over his books when concerning god/religion which people interpreted as *atheism* when instead he was pantheist but that’s... how... groundbreaking he was in that sense
 anyway tldr re spinoza’s pantheism: he thought god was in all things and inherent to them which means you don’t have the god-who-looks-like-a-man-and-controls-everything but that everything has something godly in them so the world can’t exist without god and god can’t exist without the world
his philosophy’s target was finding a way to reach an eternal goodness that went beyond what was on earth or seemed to get momentary happiness, so eternal happiness thanks to an eternal goodness
he took from descartes the point of reasoning being the only instrument to find the greater good and so evidence = truth
except that for spinoza the truth is not I think therefore I am, but the immanent god inside all things
tldr: to spinoza you can understand everything about reality and nothing is unknowable but men don’t have innate knowledge so you have to use reason to find out what’s the true vision of reality in which god is innate as we said before, and reason is a limited instrument so you also have to use intuition, which is what permits you to go outside the material world
intuitive science therefore teaches you the essence of things which then can be geometrically studied
so basically tldr god is the world and the world is god and god is nature and nature is god
but spinoza’s god is impersonal and makes everything exist because tied to him, he’s not a personal entity that can be distinguished from things and has its separated will and intellect
also since this obv clashes with the ‘how did god create the universe’ deal, his solution is that god has an autonomy made of freedom and necessity, as in, he follows a law that he gave to himself and so he makes himself reality while obeying his own orders (same as for a triangle the sum of its angles is 180° - if it wasn’t for it, the triangle wouldn’t be a triangle)
therefore he also criticizes the idea that god acts for good or bad - he acts to exist and that’s it, the problem is that men assume that god is like them when he’s not and human freedom in the world is apparent because we all follow the mechanism god set for us and work within that mechanism
and that’s about everything you need to know, but count that when it came to politics spinoza was for tolerance for every religion or belief, that states had to be monarchies but monarchs should not be tyrants and should instead work for the common good without censoring its citizens, and religion shouldn’t meddle with authority and the state has to be secular
if you know all of this you’re set for reading alchemy wars ;) but it’s all very well explained in within text so ;) have fun and LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE IT :D
