You Choose: Amber or Chaos

[Ivanhoe]

Logrus, because all of the other players here are taking Pattern and will be surprised by my abilities...

Or, more seriously, I'll have a little chat with them, Merlin-style. In such a game, there are always hidden rules. I suspect that a power of Chaos, taking its roots in the Abyss would be far more powerful but I need to learn more than what we learn through Corwin's obviously biased point of view and through Merlin's childish (sorry!) eyes.

I would choose my life as an Amberite. The partial sense of stability that comes from not having everyone in the family be a shapeshifter, the challenges at dealing with shadow (and the feeling of accomplishment for success) rather than reaching out to simply pluck my heart's desire from it, are both rather appealing.
 
While being a shapeshifter might be cool, I could easily lose my identity and there are so many "Chaos" Lords out there as it is (along with the heinous line of succession), that I think I'd like to stay out of family trees with so many branches that your daughter might also be your aunt/best friend's fiance/stepmother sort of thing...
