About this class
We think ourselves greater than the animals we share the earth with. We cloak ourselves in wool and linen, we hide behind our castle walls, huddle around gentle fires, fearing the creature hiding in the darkness just beyond the fire light. We chain ourselves to fear, for restraint is what we believe marks us from the beast. But nothing marks us from the beast but self-deceit. When on that fateful day when you let the animal into your heart, the lie was ripped from your eyes.
When you tear limb from limb and dine on blood, you remember exactly what you are. You are the beast, and the beast is you. There are people who fear you for what you are. Sometimes you think they’re only scared of themselves, and you can’t blame them. Afterall, so are you.
Clothes That Are: Weathered, cheap, dirty, colored to blend with foliage, many-layered, refined
Attitude Like: a caged beast, a cunning wolf, a scared rabbit, a killer, a desperate warlord, a vampire.
