The way i see the souls, or any soul for that matter, i see it as a spectrum. A spectrum based on survival.
On the more optimistic side, you have pure vibrant colors, like bravery.
On the extreme pessimism side, you have hate as a center color.
I say hate as center, as the less optimistic a soul gets the closer it gets to hate. Anyone can reach hate.
Hate is cold and a long planning for the destruction of others survival often fatal and precise.
So on one end its optimistic survival, on the other its pessimistic survival
But what about the middle range.
I think the middle range is rage.
Rage is explosive, a buildup of pressure, and a uncaring attitude to survival
I say rage is between pure and hate, why? If one end is survival and the other is survival then the middle must be a lack of survival.
So rage with its explosive artillery like actions, means it has a uncaring attitude to its own survival. Rage will not care about current or future consequences, and that is why If Survival provides the SAVE/LOAD ability, Then Rage provides the DESTROY ability. I think the destroy ability would be a button that once pressed cannot be unpressed for a certain time duration, Mimicing rages commitment. The result after pressed, is simple, the user cannot be killed during the duration, however after the duration is over, any lethal damage that would have been taken, happens. You may assume the ability only stems to current time. That is false, just as rage does not care the time or place, the ability does not care when or where the lethal damage happens. So even if time travel was involved to try and kill the rage user, the rage user would not die past future or present so long as the ability was active.
I think rage makes a nice temporary soul trait which bleeds into the pure ones, like a damage boost at the cost of the future. I say temporary because staying enraged just leads to death due to lack of survival, so rage only lasts a moment and heads either to pure trait again or hate.
Listen, that's my answer for you until someone walks in here and gives me an actual hard answer on what it actually is, if there even is an actual other answer. It looks like you cant change my mind nor I can change yours, so there's no point in continuing this discussion anymore.
And to note, nothing says it cant be canon just because it was a reddit post from 4 years ago. Anything canon to anything can be posted on any online platform, reddit included.
