What value/ideal do you uphold the most?

Basic human empathy. People should feel for each other. Hypocritical, I know, since I spend so much time hiding my emotions… but maybe that’s why it’s so important to me.
-Styx

Strength through adversary. No gain without pain. Muscles must be torn to be strengthened.

*strange barking noises*
-the haich

Um. I don’t know. Love?
-Wraith

I live to protect. Security is what I value.
-Skeleton

Happiness?
-Clarence

Hmm. Most things that people support are really non-issues blown out of proportion. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
-Lank

Love and freedom between all people. To an extent, of course.
-Prophet

Hope.
-Whisk

What do you fear the most?

I’d like to say the Druj, or someone I love getting hurt, but to be honest the thing I fear the most is loneliness. I don’t want to be unloved.
-Styx

What I fear the most is that when we die we find out that God really does hate anyone who’s black, female, crippled, liberal, or anything other than one denomination of one religion, along with anything else us or Him can think up. The implications would be... worrying.
-IMPACT

Is it unknown if the haich has any concept of fear.

When asked, Wraith burst into tears and ran away. We didn’t press the issue.

The only thing that I fear is that I will be unable to perform my duties. I will not fail.
-Skeleton

…monsters.
-Clarence

Pigs. Seriously, pigs. Do you know, farmers who have heart attacks or fall unconscious in pig pens are often eaten alive? They’ll chomp down on anything. Cut through bones like butter. They terrify the hell out of me.
-Lank

Persecution, I suppose. I’m not like most people in a lot of ways I can’t quite explain. I guess people might hate me for that.
-Prophet

I dunno. I’m scared of a lot of scary things. No, being cut down. Told I’m not as good as I think I am. I’m not just some prissy girl, you know. It’s not easy being me. I hate it when people tell me I can’t cope. Because I can.
-Whisk

What would you find at the Crossroads?

In the end, family. One way, darkness, madness and power… the other, strength, light and peace. My dark ancestor or the good Father. I still don’t know which way I’ll go.
-Styx

I concur. Family.

-the haich

The… the haich.
-Wraith

I am [Guardian]. Your question is meaningless. However, for your purposes… myself.
-Skeleton

Family. We’ve never had a home.
-Clarence

Yeah. That’s what it all comes down to, isn’t it? Family.
-Lank

Love or power. So… family.
-Prophet

Family. All we ever really wanted was to be loved.
