Quotes defining your character - Trigonxv - 09-05-2013
The world needs anger.The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.

Hm, I came up with two quotes that usually fit for my character.
There is the short "Nobody's Hero" which also is an anagram for "Honor by Dose" meaning you earn your honor a step at a time. The full of the first is "I'm not the bad guy, but I'm nobody's hero."
Then to explain some morals for a past character was:
"If I can justify it to myself, I can do anything."

I have two quotes for Siobhain, one I think was inspired by some movie... An Arthur movie maybe?
"Often peace is found only on the far side of war."
The other is one she has said before in RP (in Skype) and will likely say again.
"People choose their paths; They want to believe they control their destinies... but when fortune forsakes us, they are swift to blame those gods they would not credit with the goodness of their lives."
Pretty much sums up everything about her philosophy towards others who are no longer or have never been devout.
The last is a quote from Lycurgus of Sparta.
"A city is well-fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick."Â
Though I don't use the quote directly, this also summarizes one of Siobhain's philosophies-- that you can build the strongest walls and castles but investing time in the training and development of good soldiers is incomparable and necessary.

It's a bit recursive, but it's neat and applicable to him both on outlook and reference material for character.

Rogier is known to hold this sentiment: "the power of the Arcanum will protect me more than any armour could".
