[UA] Archetypes...

[Patrick Joynt]

I spent some time pondering - in the first UA game I played in, another PC 
was actually channeling the FLM. He was interesting.
What I came up with was that the First and Last Man is just an ordering 
weirdness. The "Last Man" is not an individual archetype, nor is the "First 
Man."  The First Man in this universe (the Comte) was the Last Man in the 
Last Universe.  And the Last Man in this universe will be the First Man in 
the next.
So, its not so much that the Last guy around is the FLM...its that, the 
birth pangs of the next universe are created when the First Man (in our 
universe) ascends as the 333rd IC.
The reason the 333rd/1st (same archetype) is so wonky is that in order for 
the universe to be created, each one already has to be filled.
Anyways, that's how I figured it.  The First and the Last represent the two 
possible outcomes of order vs entropy, each one representing both victory 
and loss for each side.
Which, I suppose, is why the Mystic Herm. is so powerful, mojo wise...it is 
the closest someone who *isn't* the Comte can get to being the Comte.
