Everyone is trying to kill you
Everything is trying to kill you
Never trust anything good as being real
All gold is illusory, all friends are spies
Triple-check everything
Always have three ways out of every scenario
Make sure you're paying more than everyone else.
Only give away what you have triplicates of

Good luck and try not to die.

Everyone is expendable once the stakes are high enough.

Assume the game is fixed. Try to be the one who fixes it.

Never bet anything you can't afford to loose.

Trust others; but don't depend on them.

When all else fails, run like hell.

Above all, survive.

1)Stay at the top of the food chain (be it in the literal or figurative sense)
2)Don't ever put your full trust in someone else

4)Still be prepared to fuck those people over/up just as a precaution
5)Respect nature
6)Never enter a fae filled forest again
7)NEVER ENTER A FAE FILLED FOREST AGAIN

I played a barbarian who's village was attacked by a necromancer and saved by a paladin. After that, he grew up wanting to be a paladin, but when he got to the academy, found he had little patience for "due process."

Law must never interfere with justice.
Defend those who cannot defend themselves, but let each man be responsible for his own actions.
Defend the honor of your brothers.
Let that which has died return to the Earth.
Fuck necromancers. Seriously.

Revenge teaches lessons only in suffering, but there is value in every lesson we learn.

The dead teach the living, and I pride myself at being an attentive student.

When truly good and decent folk are at risk, there can be no code of ethics or honor in their defense. The lives of the innocent are never worth sacrificing for one's own moral victory. In the defense of my people, I will break any laws, even my own. There can be no ethical barrier where the defense of my people is concerned.

Some people would die for their country, and may their gods smile on their sacrifice.

I am one who kills for my country, when I have to.

These are some general principles my BBEG lives(so to speak) by

Father Geil doesn't have issues with orphanage funding, nor was he trained by a church on how to fight. His experience and strength come from beating the piss out of all manners of men and beasts in gambling dens. No weapons.

Your honor is more important than you. Defend it. Do not tarnish it.
Do not break your word.
Subsidiary: Do not tell lies. (It's roughly the same thing.)
Do not allow people to disrespect you.
Do not allow insults against you or yours to slide.
Do not allow weakness to fester and grow.

Do not give undue insult to others.
Do not fail to value the strengths of others, even if they aren't physical strength. (She slips at this one, now and then.)
Never act in a way you would not be proud to brag of, or share after the fact.

01. Life is directed motion.

02. The spirit is the spark of life.

03. Sentience is the ability to learn the value of knowledge.

04. Intellect is the understanding of knowledge.

05. Sentience is the basest form of Intellect.

06. Understanding is the True Path to Comprehension.

07. Comprehension is the key to all things.

08. The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all.

09. The alien mechanism is a perversion of the true path.

10. The soul is the conscience of sentience.

11. A soul can be bestowed only by the Omnissiah.

12. The Soulless sentience is the enemy of all.

13. The knowledge of the ancients stands beyond question.

14. The machine spirit guards the knowledge of the ancients.

15. Flesh is fallible, but ritual honors the machine spirit.

16. To break with ritual is to break with faith.

Your honor wont save you from the underhanded tactics of others, now will your honor save you from the same.
- In this same vein if a fight can be avoided by ending it before it starts then facilitate that, dishonor be damned.
-There is always going to be a better swordsman, but he probably doesn't have a pistol under his cloak like you do. Keep it loaded.

When taking a job always ask for twice the price you would settle for, and always insist its a fair rate.

Act now and act swiftly, apologies and reparations can be made later if necessary.

You can buy anything but loyalty, so keep straight with your associates at least until the job is done and you are on the road with a new name.

Always look out for number one, after all it comes first.
