====> Neumon: Be at Peace

Your name is NEUMON ORIONE. You are currently sitting atop your CEREMONIAL TAPESTRY, your essential tool for MEDITATION, which is what you are doing right now (and pretty much what you do most of the time). Surrounding you are plenty of HIGHLY SPIRITUAL ARTIFACTS, including, but not limited to HOLY CARCASSES of sacred creatures from your religion

What is your religion, someone may ask? Well, obviously it is the best religion. At a crucial point in your journey to enlightenment you realized the sad truth: no religion is perfect. There is always a flaw that is a product of the prophet's inner biases or of the cultural assumptions of the era the religion is from. For this reason, you decided to create a religion that not only mixes the best from every philosophy you encountered in your journeys, but it also keeps adapting and evolving. (Although you don't see yourself abandoning the practice of meditation anytime soon). The name of this new religion is HUMANISM, named after a funny, out of this world word you encountered in one of your PILGRIMAGES. The word was unlike anything you had heard before, so you decided it should be the basis of a religion which is also one no one in Alternia has ever seen before

Your trolltag is enlightenedTraveler, and every word you say is ~~~~~~ surrounded by waves of peace ~~~~~~

You have been meditating for 4 hours now. It is time to move on. What are you going to do now?

Neumon ==> channel inner power and levitate

You attempt to do so, but fail. Your NIRVANA is not strong enough for that. Also you are not a psionic, so it makes it kind of difficult

===> miraCLES BUDDY BELIEVE IN THEM
===> Neumon: channel inner piece and LEVITATE

You attempt to remove yourself from the world entirely, to reach TRUE NIRVANA, so you can channel even more energy

After a few tense minutes, you briefly attain the coveted state, and the world ceases to exist for a fleeting moment. When you come to, you discover you are a few millimeters off the ground! What a success! However, you quickly realize you are still floating even if you have broken all concentration. You stand up. It turns out your lusus was carrying you. She is a very tiny bug, but her strength is incredibly high for her size. She can carry a weight equivalent to 4 trolls effortlessly. It seems she saw your frustrating attempts and wanted to help

You give her a tender smile and bow graciously in her direction

===> Bake tinybugmum a meal to show your thankfulness

You decide that is a splendid idea! You go and gather fresh veggies from your personal GARDEN.

Gardening and agriculture are part of your Humanism philosophy. One must be connected with nature and what better way but by entering a mutually beneficial relationship with it?

You take some dungaroo eggs from your COLDER and some bakerSpice and bake them with the veggies into a nice veggiepastry.

You take a small bit and leave the rest to your bug mum, who shows her gratitude by climbing atop your head

===>Looks like she enjoys it!
===> Neumon: bond with littlebugmum

That's easy. You bond with your bugmum on a daily basis.

You love your bugmum and so does she. You would protect her with your life and more!

You carefully bow again so she can jump to a nearby table. You also tell her you are going to attend to the sacred duty of Humanism by spreading its teachings across the area, so you prepare to leave. Bugmum does a little backflip to show appreciation. She is always proud of you

You then leave the respiteblock. Outside, you find a small group of trolls of varied blood colors waiting for you. They are your most devout followers and are hungry for a sermon. It seems like your duty came knocking to your door. Literally

===> Fulfill your duties

You begin speaking with a serene voice as your audience sits around you in a circle.

You speak about the golden rule: Treat others like you wish to be treated
You speak about the enlightenment principle: Life is a journey to accumulate knowledge and constantly refine your soul
You speak about pacifism: There is always a way to resolve a conflict peacefully

You speak about much more, but basically that is what Humanism can be reduced to if you desire. It is not about long winded sets of rules and traditions. It is meant to be able to fit anybody, regardless of blood, status or even species.

Your audience is moved by your speech, as always.

It is time to do your daily pilgrimage, where you explore a section of Alternia in search of enlightenment. Perhaps even with the company of some member of your audience.

Where are you going to?

===> Show them the extasy of exanguination

What? What are these thoughts? You just finishing describing the virtues of pacifism. There is no way you are doing that to yourself or others.

You continue your pilgrimage. You notice a group of people heading towards some common place. Looks like they are about to join the protest. You decide to follow them to see if you learn anything
