The Genre Busting of Shinji and Warhammer 40K. What is it all about, really? Well...
...it's about a kid, who once completely lacked a backbone, discovering a tabletop game that gives him a totally new outlook on life, which in turn causes him to...
Be far more self-assured in his interactions with others;
Inspire nearly everyone around him to overcome personal limitations that they thought they had;
Bring fervent hope back to an entire planet on the verge of either a new dark ages or worse;
Establish an international shadow brotherhood composed solely of elementary school children, right under their parents' noses;
Somewhat accidentally bend the wills of most women (and some men) in the world toward desiring to be his fanatical slaves;
Push both weapons technology and human psionic evolution forward at least several millennia;
Take on, and ultimately defeat, a cabal of ancient conspirators at their own game almost before they realize he's playing it;
Redefine the boundaries of known quantum, temporal and paradimensional physics, including changing the past without time travel or time paradoxes (probably)...and insodoing, defy reality-warping space monsters with degrees of reality-warping that blow the monsters minds;
Willfully create stable time loops;
Give psychological counseling and/or necessary ass-kicking to another version of himself from an alternate universe wherein none of this ever happened;
Move dangerously close to forging humanity, as a whole, into a trillions-strong fighting force capable of holding back the endless hordes of Eldritch Abominations that would otherwise obliterate it without a second thought;
And inspire the Emperor of the Penguin species to reach for his people's ages-old dream of joining the other avians of the world in being capable of flight.
