Quotes defining your character

[Trigonxv]

The world needs anger.The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.

[Shae'ra]

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."

[shdwsng]

Helfric-"Grand destinies lead to glorious funerals. You can take your Shaman crap and your crystals and stuff them. I'm a simple man, and honest steel is enough for me."

[erosskye]

Eros Skye- "What are these? Moon letters?"

[YesGood]

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." 

 

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.

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

“‎It isn't enough to stand up and fight darkness. You've got to stand apart from it, too. You've got to be different from it.” -Jim Butcher, Fool Moon

 

“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” -Winston Churchill

 

"The fairest things have fleetest end, Their scent survives their close: But the rose's scent is bitterness To him that loved the rose." - Francis Thompson

 

 

Because Rico's a doofus.

Even though R'edh is a boy, I think this one is quite fitting.

 

"She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed, and to love and be loved in return." — Starra Neely Blade
