<strong>The</strong> Five Evils School that detests<br />
the over-inflated ego. <strong>The</strong>y fight to keep<br />
themselves out of the spotlight, but once<br />
they’re there they will not step down.<br />
Quickly hated as a stage hog, then just as<br />
quickly forgotten.<br />
Greed<br />
Greed<br />
<strong>The</strong> Five Evils School that detests<br />
the materialistic hoarding of the modern<br />
world. Though they claim their possessions<br />
are meaningless, they constantly fear the<br />
loss of ‘things’. When fear turns to<br />
overprotection, people suffer.<br />
Lust<br />
Lust<br />
<strong>The</strong> Five Evils School that detests<br />
the washed-out focus that comes from<br />
passion untended. <strong>The</strong>y spend their whole<br />
lives running from what they love, but<br />
inevitably run back into its arms. Once<br />
there, they must start over. Tragic, really.<br />
Sloth<br />
Sloth<br />
<strong>The</strong> Five Evils School that detests<br />
the concession of motivation to apathy. In<br />
their fervor to ‘get up and go’, they tire<br />
themselves out and slink home in a stew of<br />
shame and exhaustion. Incapable of doing a<br />
good job, as they don’t work efficiently.<br />

Flames<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oroboroi may live virtually<br />
forever, but such a life is not without<br />
hardships. Besides the immediately<br />
apparent horror of outliving all their loved<br />
ones, an Oroboroi must cope with the fact<br />
that she has access to stupendous<br />
capabilities, but has few appropriate<br />
situations in which to expend them. Her<br />
membership is her greatest gift and darkest<br />
secret, and most of her life is spent trying to<br />
take advantage of the gift part without<br />
giving away the secret part.<br />
For those that peel away the secret,<br />
there are really only three possible outcomes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y could promise never to tell anyone and<br />
to help bear the burden of the secret, but<br />
that’s incredibly unlikely. That, and even if<br />
they did, time would eventually steal them<br />
away. <strong>The</strong>y could blab to somebody else,<br />
which will either land them in a mental<br />
asylum or homicidal frenzy. But… even<br />
incoherent nonsense draws unwanted<br />
attention. And then, there are those that<br />
would harvest the Oroboroi for her Heart,<br />
Red Pearl, or blood (would-be <strong>Dragon</strong>s,<br />
greed-hoarders, or Knights of the Bloody<br />
Chalice respectively).<br />
Another thing the Oroboroi must<br />
face in their longevity is boredom. Those<br />
that continue living the life they did before<br />
their Metamorphosis find it does not fill<br />
them the way they did before. Grander<br />
stature calls for grander things, and so most<br />
Oroboroi take on a Province to occupy their<br />
time.<br />
Dens<br />
Dens<br />
<strong>The</strong> name is a little deceiving, but<br />
Den comes from a self-loathing Oroboroi<br />
who called <strong>Dragon</strong> alliances a ‘Den of Evil’.<br />
Unfortunately, the name stuck.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oroboroi population is so<br />
phenomenally low that usually the only<br />
other <strong>Dragon</strong> one meets is the Heart’s<br />
previous owner. Still, paths do cross, and<br />
when <strong>Dragon</strong>s meet they need a way to<br />
interact peaceably with each other. While<br />
they’re working towards a common goal,<br />
<strong>Dragon</strong>s will willingly call themselves<br />
beasts ‘of the same den’.<br />
Oroboroi Oroboroi Society<br />
Society<br />
A <strong>Dragon</strong> and her Province<br />
combined are easily compared to an<br />
independent nation. Likewise, the<br />
relationships between two <strong>Dragon</strong>s can be<br />
easily analyzed by thinking of them in a<br />
world scope, rather than a personal one.<br />
<strong>Dragon</strong>s forge trade routes with each other,<br />
swap techniques, and make treaties, but they<br />
could never really be called friends. So long<br />
as a relationship is mutually beneficial or<br />
sufficiently forced, the Oroboroi will<br />
interact.
