The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself.

The core of an individual is the mystery of life, which dies when it is 'grasped'. That is also why symbols want to keep their secrets.
Bio
The Harbinger of Ferocity
Agent of the Wild, Aspect of the Ferine
Nature, red in tooth and claw.
"There is, indeed, no single quality of the cat that man could not emulate to his advantage."
- Carl Van Vechten
I am, at my core, a personification and manifestation of those things whose blood and hearts run red with the ferocity of the animal world. It is this which convicts and controls my works, my writing, my being; the force and guidance in which I gain wisdom from. It is what inspires me as a creator and weaver of words, the very thing I admire as an author.
My leanings, savage as they are, are of the feline sort as there exists no greater lineage of beasts whom can be drawn from. No others captivate and motivate my talent and skill as the greatest of cats do.

The Vale
The Town,Currently
Sword forward, the wizard pressed on and to cut off the enemy at their flank; he, just as the paladin, had enough of their attackers swarming and surrounding them. Lightning charged across the keen edge and then like a painter he stroked the sword against the canvas of his enemy and to spectacular effect. A dull burst of energy filled the air and the skittering light bounced from the steel and on to the armored foe with a crack - pleased with himself, the elf nodded and almost gave a gentleman's bow before putting the weapon back to the ready. The shadow, in return, incapable of so much as lifting its shield from the leap of lightning, stood almost dazed and confused... or as much as these dark beings could. Either way, the abjurer had more than succeeded and assured their enemy was routed from regrouping.
Thea, charging up the steps, hand gesturing with a symbol of the Kingdom of Light, uttered some word none could quite truly understand; some archaic, mystic tongue she had adopted. Immediately, as she swung her own sword, both hands set to its grip, the weapon shed a great light that quickly burned away into ripples of invisible, formless energy.
She connected, her whole body shifting in its armor as she turned to follow through, striking down the sorcerous foe... only to have it erupt into darkness. A blinding black settling all around her, she quickly wiped her face free of the magical mist and turned to face her next opponent. Yet, for a disturbing moment, it was almost as though the wild magical energy of the Kingdom of Darkness had stricken her with despair.

I misread that first portion of her post, but I will see to it, @Hekazu.
Would it be reasonable then, given we are out of order now, to fire one last arrow before addressing the rest of the situation, @Hekazu? It seems we have a bit of a prisoner dilemma on our hands again, but that isn't my primary concern. We've made it through once. Just more so if our escapee is determined to get away by fate's permission.
All we can hope is that your return is sooner rather than later, @Dynamo Frokane. Regardless of your reasons for departing, it has been a pleasure all the same.
The magical power of historical inertia perhaps. And its ok, people can fail to capitalize on their privilege just as some of us succeed in spite of it.
With where I hail from, people are truly as equal as they could be barring a need for a social hierarchy. The only division was by authority. Race, age, gender - none of the go-to issues were in play. We all had the same requirements and duties asked of us; the immaterial​ concept of "privilege" held no ground there, for which I am thankful. Even before then, when I was young, no one spoke about privilege. Why, one might wonder?
We all lived in the same neighborhood and willingly followed the same social lies. In fact, I never heard the argument of this "privilege" until it confronted me know the internet years ago. It still proves to be some unfounded argument that focuses on division, pitting people against one another, than any forward thinking concept of unity. It asks nothing of equal opportunity and demands "equality" in a nation where all people are afforded that chance.
In brief, I cannot capitalize on something that does not effectively exist, because if it did, why did I not get preferential treatment for all of my "oppression points"? Just being a "white male" has not granted me anything; I earned everything I kept, woe or weal.
If we want to harp on history and how "whites" and "men" in the past had actual power beyond others in a great number of ways, then certainly, that is a valid statement. But that root died a long, long time ago.
I will be brutally honest, even if it means bloodying the water, @POOHEAD189. I have neither shame not fear in my opinion or the points I take side in. Hopefully it gave you the insight you were looking for as well as my perception on the matter rather than any assumptions you may or may not have had.
@Penny, I have told you long, long before that in my experience I have not witnessed anything of the sort. I still am and will be of the belief that individual qualities and personhood will define more than anything else. I do not believe white men have some magical special qualities others do not get - if they do, please refer me to them so I can claim what apparently rightfully belongs to me.
As far as I am concerned, @POOHEAD189? Yes, and that is my answer. You know my philosophy on the matter from there and why I perceive it that way; that is the context to support my understanding.
Do you sincerely think, that in America, minorites are afforded all of the same treatment and opportunities with the same ease as white men?
Can you provide me with a place where these opportunities are any better? There are several places on this world where the caste system still exists by and large. To this I add that nothing can be or ever will be perfect, but the United States and what it represents in this area is damned close, if not almost perfectly on this mark. For added salt in the wound, as far as I am concerned, anyone who disagrees with that should attempt to live wherever they think this Utopia to be.
This "racism" and "privilege" game is not an argument I am going to take seriously; it certainly has no impact on those I find myself interviewing, instructing or supervising. Those who have or have not advanced did so under their own merit.
