One of the greatest ambitions a potentate from Cloudy Curtain could have was to become a member of the Avatars of Myth.
The amount of boys and girls who dreamt of becoming an Avatar surpassed those who wanted to join the Mech Corps!
Perhaps the reputation of the Avatars hadn't reached a resounding level elsewhere, but in Cloudy Curtain they were the premier mech troop of their planet!
The Mech Corps was too far away for most locals. Even when the Light Hounds and the Equinox Stingers sent mechs to defend their little corner of space, they mostly flew around in deep space.
In contrast, the Avatars mechs occasionally showed up in public whenever they escorted Ves around or went on their practice sessions.
While the Avatars did not deliberately pursue fame, they already attracted due to their high status within Ves' orbit.
