If characters just "did" things because their author decided they could, Vs Debates would just boil down to a shouting fest of "But the point of my character means they wouldn't lose here!", "But the point of my character is that they shouldn't lose here!" This runs counter to one of the main points of chronicling Feats to begin with: that is, to determine who would actually win via an impartial and at least reasonably objective level. Plenty of characters and Verses that utilize Willpower as a narratively important power within the story prove its narrative weight by having it actually be tested by something that tries to break it.

A pretty famous (and somewhat memetic) example on this site in particular is Gyrohem, with an entire blog offering examples and clarification of all of the things that Willpower Defense has been demonstrated to resist within its own canon. I also delve pretty heavily into Willpower as a literal, tangible supernatural energy in the form of Hero's Path, and its main protagonist: in this instance, too, elaboration is offered on why the character is capable of overcoming the external forces that they can overcome, which is vital if anyone here is going to be able to believe that you saying "my character can resist anything!" actually means something.

Let's start back at the beginning. What is Trinity kingdom about? What happens in it? What role does Athena play in the plot? Pretend like you're pitching me the story, and I can go from there.
