Questionable Questing

Seduce someone! Kill someone! Avenge your [Non-existent] Sister/Brother! Win the approval of your [Non-existent] Homeland, and become King/Queen!
Conquer somewhere! Steal a thing! Protect a place/person/thing! Earn the Friendship of Someone! Master a Style!

Anything that could be a character's motivation.

By those standards, I still want to make a Raksha with the motivation of 'consume food for energy and engage in evolutionary struggle'.

Just remember that the person who cares deeply about the motivation, the character who strives for it, doesn't exist.
It's a mask, a façade put up to amuse a being that cares little for anything.

A fake person. A Puppet.

Which offers another nice motivation: Become a real person.

Except that's still fake.

I don't see much of a difference between 'become a real person' and 'consume food for energy and engage in evolutionary struggle' for a Raksha.
Though I guess that's more 'become a real creature'.

I wasn't asking what would be a good Raksha motivation, I was asking if the one I've been mentioning over and over again would make a good Raksha motivation.

Oh!
I really misread that. Sorry.

S'okay!

The first part isn't exactly hard for you to do nor heroic, and can probably be discarded. What makes it worthy to be part of your Motivation? I see that you're trying to go for the "become/mimic a real boy" thing ... but how is food significant enough in that context to be called out?
