Could be interesting if gathering artifacts allowed you to access your higher level abilities.
Like you can't use your Supers until you have a certain percentage of them so people aren't nuking dudes with orbital moon lasers and giant lightning streams from the get-go.
Don't feel obligated. War is for patriots, not people who think they should go because it's "manly" to do so. Especially not what is (no offense) likely a war with little chance of victory on your side barring a lot of international support.
But here's hoping it doesn't come to that, really. Stay safe regardless.
You should all read Richter Bromont's stuff at http://pastebin.com/QuxxBpM0.An example (and in my opnion, the best): You bust through Hanako's door a throw a box down on the floor in front of her."HANAKO! I GOT YOU A PERSIAN BELLY DANCING OUTFIT!""Y-You what?", Hanako replies, still scared from the sudden intrusion."BELLY DANCING!""B-Belly Dancing?""BELLY DANCE-AN!", you boast as you steal the box's soul and watch it deteriorate into nothingness.You show Hanako a photo of a Belly Dancer's attire and shove the clothing into her hands."What b-brought this on!?""YOU'RE SCARED TO DANCE BECAUSE OF YOUR SCARRED FACE, RIGHT? WELL, BELLY DANCERS CAN COVER THEIR FACES IN A THIN SHEET OF CLOTHE-""I-I don't even want to dance... Wait.. H-How did you know my clothing sizes?", Hanako asks as she looks at the tags."LILLY TOLD ME!""But she doesn't... know my sizes""I GOOGLE'D IT?""...What-""BELLY DANCING!", you roar as you through you hands into the air....Hanako stares at you with confusion."Just put the damn outfit on and I'll leave you alone" You sit on Hanako's bed and wait for her to finish changing in the closet....?You dig around under Hanako's mattress and uncover a couple pornographic doujins."NYOHOHO!", you giggle as you read through them."A-Alright... I'm done", Hanako blurts out from behind the closet."HANAKO, COME OUT OF THE CLOSET!", you speak as you flip through a yuri magazine."D-Don't look!", she yells out."YEAH SURE, I'LL AVERT ME EYES", you cover your eyes poorly....Hanako reluctantly walks outside the closet, wearing a Belly Dancer's uniform, her exposed midriff shows her scarring going down one side."VAVOO~", you exclaim as you growl."I-I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!", she yells out as she runs back into the closet."GOOD, YOU FILL OUT THOSE CLOTHES LIKE A BOSS! NOW ONTO BELLY DANCING LESSON!", you roar."I-I'M NOT COMING OUTSIDE OF THIS CLOSET!""Well then, I guess I'll just write 'Property of Hanako...whatever your last name is' on these hentai mags and leave them lying around the school grounds"...Hanako shoves the closet door open with a rather pissed off look in her eyes"H-How.. Do I Belly Dance?", Hanako asks as she crosses her arms."Move your body around, like this!", you explain while putting one hand around the back of your head and circulate your body around."All...R-Right", Hanako poorly mimics your body movement."DAMN IT HANAKO, THIS IS DANCING, NOT PIG HUMPING, PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!""O-OK!", Hanako puts move emotion into her body movement."MOVE YOUR LOWER BODY AROUND LIKE A SNAKE! SHAKE IT AND SHAKE IT HARD!""HAH!", Hanako swings her lower body from side to side."NOW CHECK OUT THIS SHIZZLE!", you make her observe with her eyes.You swing your back down and shake your hands around one another.Hanako mimics you, despite you not even knowing what you're doing."BELLY DANCING!", you scream."B-B-BELLY DANCING!", Hanako roars out as she swings her hips forward and tries too hard...."HNNNNNGGGGG", you clutch your chest as you nearly die from the moe."H-HNNNGG!", Hanako mimics you."S-STOP DOIN- HNNNNNNNGGGGG!", you have ten heart attacks at once. You wake up in the Nurse's room."NURSE! NURSE! WHAT HAPPENED MAN!?", you yell into the room, not knowing if he's there or not."Looks like you had a heart attack from visual stimulation... what in God's name where you looking at?""LOVE, I WAS LOOKING AT LOVE""I... noticed you didn't have your heart medication in your pants pocket""YEAH""You didn't... throw your medication at Seagulls again, did you?""...""Hisao?""FUCK YOU, THEY STARTED IT!"You return to Hanako's room, and see Hanako still in her Belly Dancing outfit."BELLY DANCING!", you yell out.Hanako turns to her side and swings her belly around."B-B-BELLY DANCING!"...You have another heart attack.
