The Unknown: Is your muse a philosophical person?
As a character that has specifically chosen his particular lot in life, Śūn'ra has often contemplated what it means to do good or evil, to be good or evil, why one might desire or feel compelled towards one or the other, and the circumstance that leads a person towards those beliefs and decisions. He has witnessed people do acts that others refer to as evil for the sake of a good outcome a bit further beyond, as well as witnessed people commit good actions for the sake of setting the stage for greater evil later on.
In addition to this, he also often thinks about the finality of death and what happens after. These experiences and pondering have led him to the question of, “Does it matter?” A question which he has yet to find an answer to, often thinks about, and which drives the rationale of a lot of his actions, particularly when confined to the context of his immediate future.
Śūn'ra likes to challenge the justification that people give as to why he, they, or anyone else “should” do or be any specific way as opposed to any other way. He also enjoys challenging why the idea of ‘being’ evil or possessing ‘evil’ traits causes such a visceral reaction in some of more straight-laced heroes he has interacted with. In these ways, yes, Śūn'ra can be quite philosophical.
Beyond the question of the value of life, death, good, and evil though, he does not much care for philosophy, but does understand why other people might.
