Question: Who here believes in Xan?

Ooh, that's a tough one. He hasn't really paid much attention to Sebastian. On the other hand, he's pretty dramatic, and Sebastian likes that ... on the other hand, both the Most beautiful and the Chariot of Fire are even more dramatic. Does Sebastian believe that Xan can defend him from the mind eater? Does Sebastian believe he will? No ... no he doesn't.

Sebastian believes in Eganball.

This Egansphere certainly believes in the Xan. I don't have much else to believe in, and I know that if anyone here can pull off a god cycle, he can.

I'd like to attempt to cheese things in my favour by stating that John believes in Xan due to knowing to an extent that faith can be stacked.

Say Hyenakles? Maybe Mr. Bird?

Hyenakles knows that a lot of Xan's wizard act is bullshit. He also knows that Xan recently brought him back from virtual death, probably using magic gained via faith. So, sort of?

Dianne does not know who the hell Xan is other than that weird fire guy, but she's desperate to live, so yeah, she does believe in Xan. Even if it is for entirely selfish reasons.

Hairy Dave is friggin' terrified of Xan and his fiery magick-y stuff, so yeah, he believes in him.

((Ryan has seen Xan perform mighty feats of power so he got no reason to not believe. Besides, Ryan is a baby soul. He believes whatever you tell him. So yeah, I believe in him, although I hold/held a grudge against him because he healed the man I wanted to eat.))

Mr. Bird is pretty sure there's going to be an explosion of some kind, so that's about the extent of what he believes.

Truthfully, though, the way people keep going on about belief and power kind of spoils the belief part, in that I'm fairly sure Mr. Bird is aware that Xan is gaming the system by virtue of him never shutting up about it.

((How far does meta-belief go? Can you believe in someone's ability to game the belief system? Can you believe in your ability to believe in someone or something? Hmmm... Now that I think about it, meta-belief can probably only go so far, otherwise we'd get some horrible feedback loops.))
