Now I've been struck with a bit of inspiration.Ego is probably the most dangerous and misunderstood of the Pillars of Destruction, so that would've been fun had those plans come to fruition. Develius sent me a PM recently telling me that they're okay, but life has gotten way too busy for them and they apologize for ghosting. I wasn't sure if they planned on making a comment in this thread which is why I held off from telling y'all.
"Ego: The most dangerous of the Pillars of Destruction... and perhaps the most misunderstood. We are all aware of the sin of Pride. It is Pride that turned angels into devils. It is Pride that motivates the fool to destroy his own home rather than admit his faults. It is Pride that brings forth shame; there cannot be a sense of shame if one has no Pride, and shame can cripple the soul and prevent its growth. So why is this Pillar called Ego rather than Pride? Ego may refer to one's self-esteem, making it the same as Pride. It also refers to one's sense of self, one's own identity. Without the sense of pride that comes from accomplishment, what motivation is there to grow and acheive? If one has no sense of identity, how can they ever become the best version of themselves? Ever since I was young, I had a talent for magic. It was my dream to become the greatest of Hyrule's magicians, even becoming the Royal Wizard for the King and Queen. My crippling illness crushed that dream, but I refuse to waste away. I have overcome this curse and risen to new heights: that of the Lord of Moon and Stars, ruler of the Realms, and the master of all magic! You have faced trials of your own and overcame them, becoming legendary warriors and defenders of this world and many other worlds. Now, you face me! Come then, Super Smash Brothers! Show me how much you've grown!"
When my dumbass is inspired to write for the OOC thread rather than the RP thread ^^'
