Paragon Green: Kindness
-Brief Synopsis-
Kindness, the concept of being able to solve the world's problems through cooperation and open mindedness. One might say that it's a global force of good, yet Kindness might turn a blind eye to some problems in the pursuit of living in harmony. "Get along" they might say, while two sides fight for what they believe is right. Sometimes kindness alone cannot save the world.
While arguably the most "Pure" of the human paragons, Kindness suffers from an overriding weakness, in that its nature cannot be overpowered, and living as a true pacifist would mean that they would sooner die than kill, and die they shall.
Kindness would without a doubt spare Asgore, and through their various exploits, they would come to understand the people of the Underground, and anything but a life of a pacifist would not be fitting for the human paragon.
-In Depth Analysis-
Kindness is almost frustratingly hard to nail down. It's such an "up in the air" concept that it gives the very concept of morality a run for its money. A human championed by the paragon of Kindness is, by nature, a very well meaning person. Does it mean that they are a pacifist? I'm inclined to say yes, with only very VERY few exceptions, none of which as a matter of fact I can think of as of this story.
Meaning well is sometimes all a world needs sometimes. When someone needs help, maybe it's in Kindness's nature to actually fight, but never to kill. Sometimes you have to put your foot down in the name of peace, though Kindness may conflict with Justice at times. Perhaps robbing a drug store to provide medicine to the sick is the morally correct option to some, but in the long run, it could cause damage to the very manufactory providing such modern health conveniences, and as such Kindness would make an enemy of Justice. Life is difficult, and maintaining a calm, kind composure through it is commendable, if not wholly unrealistic.
The truth is, when push comes to shove, Kindness may not be as powerful as its concept is. If everyone knows that you're not willing to fight, then you will be ignored, or stepped on, for the pursuit of other, more outspoken paragons. Maybe Kindness is okay with doing their part to help the world, but in the end, Kindness by nature is nothing but sacrifice. To what gain? Kindness asks nothing in return, and sadly, that often means Kindness gets nothing in return.
Pros: Truly well meaning, trustworthy and dependable, an ally for life, truly wishes to do the best they can for themselves and others, quite literally incapable of betrayal or evil.
Cons: Pacifistic by nature and unable to defend their ideals from more motivated paragons. Their willingness to accept sacrifice unto themselves often means that they are the only ones sacrificing themselves, others may benefit, but Kindness is often the first to lose.
-On the subject of Asgore and the War-
When Kindness would fall into the Underground, for whatever reason they chose to climb Mount Ebott, be it curiosity, an accident, or something else, they would learn of the Monster's plight. If Frisk was any indication, there's a fair share of Monsters who don't even know what a human looks like, so they could interact with the more mild mannered monsters in a civil sense, and learn why it is the war has occurred.
They would weep for Asgore, even knowing that in the end it might lead to their deaths. Asgore's tale is a tragic one, and his war was born of pain, and a true feeling of having no other choice for his people. Kindness might actually intend to personally give up their soul to Asgore. It's difficult to say. Many monsters in the Underground are dangerous to humans by simple proximity, so Kindness would likely run, or carefully commune with the seemingly hostile monsters, before realizing that it's only in their nature.
Kindness's adventure would end, like all the others, at Asgore's throne, or perhaps before. Asgore, the man who would, in a perfect would, deem to not even harm a fly… forced into a position of warfare and bloodshed. Kindness does not suit him as a paragon, even if he truly doesn't wish to harm others, he will in the name of his people- again and again. Asgore is capable of genuine acts of Love and Kindness, but they alone do not make up Asgore, and so Kindness's green heart will be added to the souls. Maybe Asgore would be pained by this collection, maybe not. But Kindness feels that dying is better than killing, and sparing Asgore, even if it means death, is the right thing to do.
