Shonaba Greed
Shonaba Greed is no ordinary vice; it is a catastrophic hunger of the soul, an insatiable drive to consume joy itself. It is a god-tier form of greed that transcends logic, reason, and basic human decency - thriving on the primal urge to repeat the endless cycle of chronic self-sabotage. Manifesting as the unstoppable urge to claim everything, it twists harmony into disarray, and freedom into slavery. Shonaba Greed is gluttony disguised as ambition, indulgence disguised as victory, and it seeps into every activity, devouring especially loved ones in its wake.
A (often sudden) surge of self-assured confidence that compels one to abandon all reason and act on an impulse: To satisfy a fleeting vision - putting the fate of themselves and the security of others in the hands of their delusional faith.
You have $12,000. Your teammate has $2,000 and has requested that your third teammate buys them a weapon. It’s the final round, meaning you will carry no wealth into the next round. The instant your third teammate buys the weapon, you scoop it out of their hands before anyone can react, then immediately take the enemy head-on with no plan and full confidence. Of course, you lose it to enemy hands immediately. Your comrades celebrate your downfall, and one-by-one, without once taking a moment to see the mistakes of their fallen comrades before them, they take their turn at the same fate - forever churning the meat grinder fuelled by their blind greed.
