We could say it's just a game -- but f*** that answer, let's get psyched. There are people know as psychopathic (which is often misunderstood to mean a raving lunatic -- but that's a huge generalization), that honestly sever their, or are incapable to begin with of feeling emotion. This is most common either by birth or by an emotionally traumatic event or events.

This doesn't mean, like Jankenneth 10 very nicely described, that the emotional interaction can't be faked -- or even duplicated on a subconscious level that is then verbally regurgitated just like a parrot; where a similar circumstance of the subject's memory views they are supposed to behave like this because "Person A" did in a similar instance. In which case it's a social interaction defense mechanism to assimilate -- where if one is to get anywhere one must use said group or person -- making this not just a social need, which it wouldn't be for a psychopath, but a means to achieve a goal.

Also, as for willpower some people confuse this as some kind of spiritual thing -- it isn't. For example if you have the need to be a master kayaker you'll find-out where to get a kayak, who can train you, and where you can do "kayak-ee" s***. If you are a pawn (or severely depressed), you have no need or want (again fits to emotion) to pursue this or anything -- you want nothing.

As for the main pawn what was said previously on how they are different and specially tied to the Arisen, and grow to be more, would appear correct.

Now you know and knowing’s half the battle... Never could figure on that other half... I'll drink on it.

Of course, then again, it's just a game =P
