: He founded the Nine. It was probably his tradition that
: there be nine Avatara at any given time.
: "The Nine" is what you call the Avatara, at
: least when there are nine of them. If there is a group
: called "The Nine" in existance at the point
: in history your story takes place, there cannot be an
: Avatara who is not one of their numbers.
: Being an Avatara isn't like being a Berserk or something,
: a member of a race; it's like being "the
: Emperor" or "the King". There were a
: lot of people called "the Emperor", but only
: one of them at a time. Likewise, there are only nine
: Avatara at a time, but the nine that we know from the
: most recent times are not the only Nine that have ever
: been The Nine.
