As you might have known, either by the lore or the manga about 12 Guardians, we know that Farlon killed Ramna.



But. IS HE REALLY AS FILTHY AS SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK?!

I read a comment in dA (and my friend's FB), and despite the facts, he pointed that Farlon is a filthy schyoom (censored because rules said so) because he killed his dear waifu, just because Ramna got on his way.

BUT~!

As the manga suggests, it was RAMNA who shielded Sodis from Farlon's attack, fully receiving Farlon's stab in return. Ramna did that not because she lost her mind or because she was impulsive; she was 100% aware with what happened, and of course, she knew the risk. Even so, she still threw herself between Farlon and Sodis, and died afterwards, finally broke Farlon's mental state.

Let's look a bit further to Farlon's past. The manga gave us information about this. Farlon's family appreciated power greatly, maybe above everything else. Farlon received training in order to be the strongest and fought countless times in a colosseum to prove his strength, and thus, seeking the acceptance from his family. But such thing didn't last forever. One day, Farlon received his first loss and shortly afterwards, his family disowned him. Such thing happened to young Farlon, enough to give him a trauma for the rest of his life.

Then he joined the Guardians. And he treated Sodis as his rival. When Sodis rebelled, Farlon chased him, and forced to accept another loss. Losing the duel against his rival seemed to awaken his bad memories of his past where his family disowned him. This, in turn, awaken his anger so he went back to trace the rebels, but this time to kill Sodis.

Points here :

1. Ramna was fully aware with her last action. 2. Farlon's loss to Sodis awakened his trauma where his family disowned him. 3. Point number 2 led to him chasing Sodis with the intention to kill, which led to Ramna's death.

Yes, it was MORE THAN such shallow concept as "Farlon the schyoombaggu killed his waifu because she got on his way BOOOOO". NO! It's more than that! It's the plot where someone has to deal with the worst trauma they have, and it led into them fallen into depravity (Magi quote www).

Did Farlon do something wrong? Yes. Totally yes. We are agree to this.

Should we blame Farlon?

While we are agree that Farlon KILLED some members of Guardians, we're also agree that, by the statements i have compiled above, Farlon is a problematic character. He has a trauma to deal with. And when the worst case happened... it's just enough to push him to the edge of his sanity and finally broke down and started the killing spree.

My point here is, we CANNOT 100% blame him for what happened, not with such mental state! And I have to encourage you to not judging Farlon too harsh after you peeked to his past when he was still a boy. Disowned by the family after the love they gave is the worst thing that could happen to a child. It was like, after they deemed you as "useless", they just threw you like throwing an unused paper to the trashbin.

I could say that Farlon saw himself as "trash" after Sodis beat him. And that was the trigger of his anger, which then made him went to kill Sodis.

And Ramna knows that. That was why she shielded Sodis from Farlon's attack. She wants to protect Farlon's pride. If she didn't... and Farlon killed Sodis... Farlon would be killed by other guardians.

Once again : 'Ramna. Tried. To. Protect. Farlon. Not. Getting. On. His. Way.' AND 'Farlon. Didn't expect. to. kill. Ramna.' Shocked that Ramna would do such thing was the last for him, so he fell into depravity and went berserk indeed, but 'You. Cannot. Judge. Him. Too Harsh. Nor. 100%. Blame. Him.'

Protect Farlon at all costs!
