<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 />

t he Flickering Flickering Flames<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.
