Atrocity Tales / Re: The False Sun

That's a terribly logical veiw for an erratic.
I found the synthesis of the POV in 'four revelations' and Cleric/NG's arc in AE strongly shows that Erratic's are not the non-men they used to be.
Their ancient personalities only assert themselves in response to trauma (or Mimara's manipulations). CJ is lost in memories, completely disconnected from reality much of the time - some variant erratic is driving him around the Nansur borderlands in the meanwhile. Akka never understands that about Cleric, he keeps appealing to someone that isn't there.
The clearly possess memories of things whilst they are erratic; they are trying to remember who they are - not the totality of their lives or some intricate plan to escape damnation.
The Erratic's just do whatever it takes to put themselves in those traumatic situations. E.g. In Cil'Aujis, NG comes to the fore and recalls the hundreds of years he has spent there hunting Sranc (and hanging out near the topos).
Getting into the arc wasn't any sort of masterplan to find the brothers and convert the Mangacea, imho, just an erratic trying to remember...
