NamiKaze's Quest for Pride and Shame
"Many people believe that humility is the opposite of pride, when, in fact, it is a point of equilibrium. The opposite of pride is actually a lack of self esteem. A humble person is totally different from a person who cannot recognize and appreciate himself as part of this worlds marvels."
— Rabino Nilton Bonder

PRIDE
“There was one who thought himself above me, and he was above me until he had that thought.”
-Elbert Hubbard
Quote: Name: Aiden Gender: male weight: average height: average skin: brown (tan) with gold and dark red patterns eyes: Red hair: Gold waves that fall to his shoulder wings: His wings are large with deep red feathers, and has two thick stripes of gold feathers, one in the middle and one on the bottom. he's pretty vain about them. especially when compared to Cael's. Tail: a fuzzy tail that is brown at the base and fades to red, it has a ring of gold in the middle. Personality: Aiden is, obviously, proud of everything that he is. unfortunately it is pushed to the point that he is vain and arrogant about himself, and feels he is superior to others. confident to the point of foolishness he thinks he can handle everything on his own. as a child, he will actually include his brother in this sense of pride, and feel 'we are the best' but as he grows it changes to 'I am the best' and he begins to get more and more impatient with his hesitant sibling. Through out his childhood he will blame any failures on other people. it couldn't possibly be his fault after all. Sidenote: if he turns out to be the stronger personality (I haven't quite decided yet) as an adult he will be confident and proud still, but his arrogance and vainity will be gone. He'll realize that other people are just as good as himself.

SHAME
“Here shame dissuades him, there his fear prevails, And each by turns his aching heart assails.”
-Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
Quote: Name: Cael Gender: male weight: thin height: average skin: pale and silvery with blue black patterns eyes: a deep, rich blue hair: straight black, falls slightly past his shoulders. wings: His wings are small and scraggly, they're also blue and fade to black at the bottom Tail: a thin blue tail with silver and black streaks. Personality: Cael seems to be a very quiet and shy person, though in truth he loathes himself and doesn't feel like anyone would want him to talk anyways. he doesn't feel worthy to be in others presence even. He greatly admires and envies his brother and follows him around as a young child. as they get older and his brother begins to turn on him, he will turn more on himself, since he is already inclined to believe anything bad is his fault anyways. what starts out as a lack of self confidence quickly turns to a true depression. He doesn't realize how foolish his brother actually is until the very end. Sidenote: if he turns out to be the stronger personality (I haven't quite decided yet) as an adult he will have found that he truly does have worth. though he will never be quite as confident as his brother would he will realize that he can be a reliable person. he will become someone who is simply humble instead of ashamed.

I don't reaaally know. a bribe slot might open up soon right? (thats what artborne was saying in the main thread) but that would be alot. I think I need to wait for some sort of custom event to come up, or work up enough for a bribe...
for now I'm just trying to build up what I can in case the first available custom is an auction or something...

Ohhh suggestions for pride and shame.
Later in life Pride should become very fit with a nicely toned body while shame should gain a bit of a pot belly. XD
