Smoke and Mirrors

Wim is the color of willpower and metal. It represents the totality of your desires and urges, as well as the discipline to see them through. Motivation, courage, and determination can be powerful forces in the right hands, and together they can help stave off temptation.

With Dau, Wim supports the fighter, guardian, soldier, and warrior. But also the threat of attack and the courage to rise to the occasion. Fear is the dominant emotion of these colors.

With Yun, Wim controls the axis of power and aspects of the physical form or body. Many extraordinary abilities are based in these colors, as Wim asserts itself as the source of all power and Yun emerges as the effect of that power.

With Pfi, Wim assumes the aspects of war and peace. Where discipline and morale might fail, a brilliant strategy can succeed.

Sace and Vei are the colors most indifferent to Wim. Magic subverts power and the natural laws upon which it depends. A man can use willpower to resist its effects, but ultimately he is powerless to control magic unless he also possesses the wisdom or charisma to properly manage the emotions of himself and others.

A grizzled veteran or mercenary might be a prime example of a Wim-based character. Forged by battle, they possess the courage to laugh in the face of death (Dau) and a plan to survive the encounter (Pfi). Perhaps their body is weakening or they simply lack a land of their own (Yun). In any case, they'll either attain power, peace, or fall to those who want it more.

Real life is filled with historic individuals that showed grit and determination in overcoming adversity. Usually their cause is promoted more than their personal motivation, but occasionally heroic moments stand out. Perhaps Audie Murphy is a good example here - a war hero that displayed uncommon valor and courage. He later struggled with physical ailments and emotional issues, showing classic conflicts.

Glei is the color of perception and imagination. It's the sum of your sense of reality and dreams of fantasy. They say beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, and so the appreciation of beauty and art belong to this color as well.

With Jutu, Glei carries the element of storm with the season of spring. Since both dexterity and perception are needed for marksmanship, these colors include all range attacks or abilities as well.

With Quae, Glei completes the mind or mental axis. Perception could be considered the source of all experience, and knowledge is the effect of that experience. Mysteries and secrets also hide within these colors.

With Sace, Glei embraces the arts, especially those of persuasion and trickery. Charmers and artists of all sorts reveal themselves here.

Biz and Dau are the colors with the least relevance for Glei. Who has time for the arts or daydreaming when survival is on the line? Strength and fortune have little to contribute to skill and self-realization.

A ranger, trickster, or seducer might all fit well in Glei. The romantic image of a pirate might fit all three ideas, storming enemy ships for plunder with guns blazing (Jutu), alternatively scheming to outwit their captors or fellow crewmembers (Sace), all while embracing the thrill of adventure (Quae). Their primary conflict would be with Quae, as they lack the education or hindsight to break the cycle, and are often doomed to failure because of it.

In the real world, Michelangelo might be a good example of a Glei-centered character. Especially considering his rival, Leonardo da Vinci, who would likely be based in Quae. Michelangelo kicked off his career with a forged statue and continually sought to prove his manual and artistic skills. Not much is known about his internal struggles, but while his artwork inspired a sense of awe, it arguably lacked the essential truth pursued by Da Vinci.

Glei maps most closely to the classic color Yellow:
