everything around them. Bad Wrath<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s start bar brawls, they open fire at<br />

protest rallies, or sometimes if they’re really<br />

demented they pick secluded cities near fault<br />

lines and then raze them.<br />

Bad Wrath <strong>Dragon</strong>s plummet down<br />

their Ethics scale the fastest of all Saintly<br />

Devil Scholars, but their stint of evil is the<br />

shortest as well. As they are driven mad by<br />

their indulgence, their wrath turns from<br />

objects to people, and when met in turn they<br />

see just how much harm they’ve really done.<br />

Usually this mirror darkly is enough to put<br />

them back on the path to Good <strong>Dragon</strong><br />

mode.<br />

Philosophy: Victims of Wrath will<br />

only use their philosophy while in Bad<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong> mode. In fact, they often blast<br />

through all the levels they know as quickly<br />

as possible, to cause the most havoc and<br />

destruction. Everything crumbles around a<br />

Wrath <strong>Dragon</strong> in Bad <strong>Dragon</strong> mode, and the<br />

powers granted by their philosophy make<br />

sure of that.<br />

Province: Wrath <strong>Dragon</strong>s are most<br />

often found in areas of residential expansion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have seen a resurgence of membership<br />

with the advent of the suburb community,<br />

where repressing thoughts of rage is the<br />

social norm. <strong>The</strong> Wrath <strong>Dragon</strong> cannot<br />

understand this façade, truly believing that<br />

her neighbors are fellow advocates of nonviolence.<br />

This creates a comfortable and<br />

deceivingly safe environment for the Wrath<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>, and when they do fall of the wagon<br />

the area gives them ample opportunity to<br />

repent.<br />

Concept: barfly, investor,<br />

philanthropist, carpenter, legislator, PTA<br />

member, legislator.<br />

Quote: Look at this. This is a<br />

genuine cherry wood nightstand. It’s from<br />

the nineteen-twenties. I restored it myself;<br />

have you ever seen anything more beautiful?<br />

School School of of Pride Pride: Pride Pride:<br />

:<br />

Shepherds Shepherds to the Masses<br />

A crowd had gathered in the plaza.<br />

Or rather, amalgamated in the plaza. A<br />

woman had just started band-standing, and<br />

initially it was nothing but anarchistic<br />

nonsense. But after a while it started to<br />

make sense. And the people were really<br />

getting riled up. Was I the only one with my<br />

senses still intact?<br />

Victims of Pride fear narcissism, and<br />

the big nothing of empty promises. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are often politically motivated and<br />

revolutionary, insisting that those in power<br />

simply use it for their own gains. This puts<br />

them on the spot as the state of Oroboroi<br />

membership entitles them to that same status.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se <strong>Dragon</strong>s despise Pride, that sense of<br />

self-satisfaction that is often undeserved.<br />

Pride is a peculiar phenomenon; like<br />

fire it is both alluring and abrasive, and it<br />

serves both positive and negative purpose.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a great deal of self-confidence that<br />

can be drawn from Pride, but flaunting of<br />

achievement cheapens the moment. Pride is<br />

detested because it is tacky. And pathetic,<br />

sometimes. But to run away from<br />

something is to still acknowledge its<br />

existence, which is why victims of Pride<br />

cannot escape it.<br />

Whenever a victim of Pride<br />

witnesses an act of gloating that would<br />

warrant a Pride Vice’s recovery of<br />

Willpower, EVEN if they themselves did<br />

not commit that act, they must roll<br />

Composure or slide into their other mode.<br />

Good <strong>Dragon</strong> Mode: When in<br />

Good <strong>Dragon</strong> mode, victims of Pride are<br />

modest and extroverted. <strong>The</strong>y do their best<br />

not to stand out, pushing attention onto<br />

others for their good works. Of course,<br />

those who receive the praise accept it<br />

willingly, and inadvertently push the <strong>Dragon</strong><br />

towards her wicked streak. Good Pride<br />

<strong>Dragon</strong>s work to push others up the ladder,
