@SaintSovereign, sir, did you lowkey draw the concept of Chosen from Oliver Stone’s “Alexander” movie? :sweat_smile:
I have just read the description of the title and it heavily reminded me of Ptolemeus (Anthony Hopkins) about Alexander.

Here’s a long quote I’m referring to:

Summary

“Our world is gone now. I’m the last left alive. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse who by Hades would know. But I’ve paid my price in blood. And in broken dreams. Now I am the keeper of his body, embalmed here in the Egyptian ways. I followed him as Pharaoh, and have now ruled 40 years. I am the victor. But what does it all mean when there is not one left to remember - the great cavalry charge at Gaugamela, or the mountains of the Hindu Kush when we crossed a 100,000-man army into India? They say we were the greatest fighting force ever known to man. Greater even than the expedition to Troy.

But how can I say it? How can I tell you what it is like to be young and to dream big dreams? To believe when Alexander looked you in the eye, you could do anything. Anything. In his presence, by the light of Apollo, we were better than ourselves. Truly, I’ve known many great men in my life but only one colossus. And only now, when old do I understand who this force of nature really was. Or do I?

Did such a man as Alexander exist? Of course not. We idolize him, make him better than he was. Men, all men, reach and fall, reach and fall. Eighteen great Alexandrias he built across this world. It was an empire, not of land and gold, but of the mind. It was a Hellenic civilization open to all. He was a god, Cadmos, or as close as anything I’ve ever known. “Tyrant!” they yell so easily. I laugh. No tyrant ever gave back so much. What do they know of the world, these schoolboys? But they have never seen the great cavalry charge of Gaugamela, or the mountains of the Hindu Kush when we crossed a hundred-thousand-man army into lndia.

It takes strong men to rule. Alexander was more, he was a Prometheus, a friend to man. He changed the world. Before him, there were tribes and after him, all was possible. There was suddenly a sense the world could be ruled by one king and be better for all.

But the truth is never simple and yet it is. The truth is, we did kill him. By silence, we consented. Because– Because we couldn’t go on. After all this time, to give away our wealth to Asian sycophants we despised? Mixing the races, harmony? Oh, he talked of these things, but wasn’t it really about Alexander and another population ready to obey him? I never believed in his dream. None of us did. That’s the truth of his life. The dreamers exhaust us. They must die before they kill us with their blasted dreams.

Oh, he could have stayed home in Macedonia, married, raised a family. He’d have died a celebrated man. But this was not Alexander. All his life, he fought to free himself from fear. And by this, and this alone, he was made free. The freest man l’ve ever known. His tragedy was one of increasing loneliness and impatience with those who could not understand. And if his desire to reconcile Greek and barbarian ended in failure. What failure! His failure towered over other men’s successes. I’ve lived – I’ve lived long life, Cadmos, but the glory and the memory of man will always belong to the ones who follow their great visions. And the greatest of these is the one they now call ‘Megas Alexandros’. The greatest Alexander of them all."

lol, the original name was actually “Avatar,” but I decided want to get sued or get it confused with a new age product.
