The things that live in my head.
I have little ideas in my head. Many of them are fed by my overactive imagination and grow and take on a life of their own. Usually they die off after a while, but I'm getting kinda tired of that. Feel free to comment, it builds their character.
Because it has come to my attention
that people are obeying my signature, I will do two things. first, make a personaly note to begin my plan to brainwash the planet, making them my unwitting minions, with my sig.

and second, to post this: Magic: the Gathering deivides the world into five colors, blue, black, green, white, red. each color embodies both certain physical aspects of the world, and aspects of the mind. so, each color has a philosophy.

each color has two "allies" and two "enemies." that is, two colors that have similar views of the world, and two colors with opposing views ofthe world.

the colors are arranged in a pentagon, thusly:

each color's allies are adjacent to it, while its enemies are on diagonals from it.

here what each color represents:
Red: the color of emotion, it embodies chaos, impulse, short-term, and gut feelings. physically, it embodies battle, destruction, and the elements of earth and fire.
Green: the color of nature, it embodies instinct, spiritualism (not religion), and a reverence for nature and the natural order. physically it embodies growth, strength and the natural cycle of life
White: the color of law, it believes in the preservation of the whole, self sacrifice, the preservation and maintaining of order and the obedience of rules and laws. ir represends defense, birth and healing
Blue: the color of knowledge, blue believes everything is the product of learning, or can be achieved through gaining knowledge. It embodies long-term thought, controlling one's environment to facilitate plans, or to get the knowledge one seeks. it uses trickery, manipulation, subtlety and illusion to achieve its goals, and physically represents all things artificial, or man-made, as well as the elements of water and air.
Black: the color of amorality. It represents greed, power, self-centeredness, amorality and corruption. Physically, it represents death, reanimation, corruption, murder or execution, and sacrifice of parts of the self or of others.

Heh, you gotta love the colour pie.

People can be divided into it so well, although most of the time they end up gold, as its a rare person who embidoes only one colour.

If I had to, I'd say that I was G/R with a bit of blue thrown in for good measure mrgreen xd

there are my 5 cents, enjoy ninja

actually everything has aspects of all five colors, but to say you're gold is still innaccurate. your color(s) are those that most embody your mindset, not the ones that encompass every aspect of yourself. everyone has at least one shining moment of each color, i'm sure, or a certain situation that makes them change from their basic attitude to one more aligned to another color.

to say what color you are you have to consider your norm, not all aspects of yourself. to be multiple colors you have to regularly straddle the beliefs of those colors, and moreover to be opposing colors you'd almost have to be scytsophrenic or have multiple personalities or something. I'm not saying it's impossible, just very hard.

on a similar note, i'm red.

Everything seems to fall together, now.

You're looking for greek creatures that would fit into the molds of the colours, then?

I think I may be able to help with that ninja

but on mirrodin and everything else they were good allies ......so........ i guess you are right

cool

actually i meant ally as in a philosophy that has agreeable aspects to it, or a color that shares some of the physical embodiments with it. allies and enemies of colors are all determined by that pentagon. think about invasion and apocalypse, invasion was the set of allies, and apocalypse was the set of enemies. look at the split cards from those two sets.
