As a kid in school I would challenge people to fight in the class to show off and stunt on everyone. This has earned me alot of syncopaths but also alot of hate and resentment from everyone around me.

Many times I went full destruction mode (ex: SC) to display my superiority and it worked until Luna was able to mitigate my DDoS. People watched what they said about me until they realized I wouldn't DDoS again but this left me feeling conflicted.

Do I want to be feared and seen as the big bad guy who'll wreck shit and put everyone to respect or do I want to be nice and cool and be liked by everyone and popular? Is it better to be the bully or the cool chill guy?

What do you prefer? Would you rather be loved by people or have them fear you? Being feared gives me a great power rush but sometimes it conflicts me knowing people dislike me.

Why not both

A shadow not so dark.

If it's "people" and not "people that are close to me", I enjoy keeping them guessing.

The classic Spatial/Edvard model?

Easy choice, loved.

I can't think of any advantages fear would have over it

I am with you, even unto the end of the age

Loved. There is no loyalty in fear. People will turn the moment you lapse power over them if you have given them a reason to dislike you or distrust you

Sc is pretty boring.

If love comes easy through being subby and meek, they'd find value in wanting to feel feared.

Fear gets shit done, can make you rich, and fear doesn't have to be destructive and evil, it can just be the display of a good leader. If your enemies fear you, they'll leave you and those in your charge alone, while love is pretty easy to squash.

"King of the North" logic is basically a fusion of the two: Respect. Fear does not have to be a sign of compensation, it's tactical, it's practical, it's useful, and it can lead to larger gains for more than just yourself if you're benevolently feared.
