Editing Expunged (section)

=== Blade ===
Expunged has the most positive attachment to Blade out of any character, a hypothetical entity that would've resulted from using the P.R.A.E.M. on [[Tristan]] to extract his golden magic.[https://twitter.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1578441369344827392] Expunged seems to value Blade's (theoretical) capabilities for power, as they refer to them as "the golden warrior" in source code. He suggested to Dave to create them[https://twitter.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1746230036963950677][https://x.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1578261539399684096?s=20], claiming in the terminal entry cGVyZmVjdGlvbg ("perfection" in base64) that Blade "would've been perfect [...] but Dave had to refuse. He had to lie to me. Liar. Liar."[https://github.com/BemboLikePizza/VsDave/blob/63bdbb6ee51d73d224d926b3eee8f302168718e7/source/TerminalState.hx#L265] Blade does not actually exist due to this; even so, Expunged maintains a connection to it, scolding those who use its name disrespectfully.[https://fixupx.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1577812697902563328?s=20] Since Blade doesn't exist, any and all characteristics of Blade come from what Expunged attributes to them, including its name.[https://fixupx.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1578257287692443648?s=20] Blade has been described as technically being Expunged's OC.[https://x.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1578519648907055104?s=20]

Expunged wanted Blade to exist due to how extremely powerful it would be, though additional motivations are left open to interpretation.[https://x.com/OfficialMTM101/status/1578261539399684096?s=20]
