Genetic bases for True Rune bearers? (*SPOILER FOR S4*)

[Aurelien]

Another point that I don't think has been touched at all is the True Runes that are attached to objects, like Beast Rune in L'Renouille and Sovereign Rune on King Dragon Sword (or Dragon King Sword? Dang it, I still can't remember which one is which).

The first case is the Beast Rune. Once in possession of Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, it preferred to be attached to L'Renouille. And if I'm not mistaken, in the end it was given to Highland because Harmonia sort of scared that it might cause some problem if the Beast Rune is forcefully kept in Harmonia. This shows that again, True Rune has preference and might have more than what we know to force itself to be attached on the preferable bearer.

The second case is the Sovereign Rune. It's attached to the hilt of the sword, and I'm under the impression that anyone can grab that sword (unlike the talking Star Dragon Sword who might be picky on who used it). So in this case, we're facing a totally different case than Beast Rune's. Sovereign Rune seem to have no control whatsoever on who to use the sword.

To me, it seems that things are very complicated about True Runes, and I start to think that there are so many (probably too many) factors that affect True Runes. One last thing that is possible is that every True Rune might have different specifications, making them not valid to be compared to each other.

Well actually, the Beast Rune moved out of its own free will to L'Renouille castle. Harmonia only said that they gave it to Highland just to cover up their apparent lack of control over True Runes and their bearers, demonstrated countless times over all the games.

Well, this just goes to show my talk about the rune's own prefrence. Beast rune liked L'Renouille for some reason. As for sovereign, i don't think he'll like a non Rugner to use him. Well, one could obviously still grab the sword and swing since it isn't noisy like SD sword, but the powers of the sovereign rune itself probably wouldn't work.

As for bearers like Hikusaak, Yuber, Sierra, Sindar fella etc, these are all original bearers who have owned the runes from some pretty darn long time. There's still the factor that the bearers CAN eventually control the runes. But those are the people who took time. Those i stated in my previous post seems to be all chummy with their runes almost right away...
