I have no opinion of the Abyssal thing yet since I do not have the splat- though I plan to get it soon. though I don't like Solars and I'm thinking I would like Abyssals cause they are like Solars but without their shiny idealistic hero/ mad knight templar/paragon of perfection fluff cause, I just don't like that kind of fluff.......cause really I would like the charms, just not the "SHINY PERFECTION" fluff to go with it.
