[Video] With all the colors in the rainbow...

[not_heavens_adam]

[Here's one(1) vampire currently leaning against the railing of his apartment's balcony, looking a little contemplative today. He takes a moment to puff on the cigarette he was currently working on before acknowledging the SFC.]

People always say 'all of the colors in the rainbow' and assume those 8 are it. But, in reality, the number of color possibilities are endless. Even Black and white, which might be considered the end-points of the color spectrum, have different shades to them.

[He looks thoughtful a moment and smirks.]

And, to avoid the debate on whether black and white are actually colors, let's just go with the assumption that they are, just for this one question.

Anyway, with all of these colors out there, there's bound to be a few that represent one thing or another. People like association, so it's bound to happen that one particular color will mean something to a society or a group of friends or, even, a single person.

Are there any colors like that for any of you? Any that mean anything in particular?

Red, of course. I'm sure someone as intelligent as you can figure out why.

[amnesiadragon]

Sort of. My life stream is blue and Nina's is yellow and Cray's is red.

[rainbowarch]

There's not a lot of color where I come from.

[Not counting people's hair. Well, okay. There's a lot of GREY and BROWN.]

So what little color we did have was pretty important.

Most clans from my land tend to adopt a particular colour; that colour will then be used primarily in the clothing and armour of their warriors, as well as in a more general decorative sense.

[He pauses, tilts his head, and then adds softly:]

But if you wish for something more personal, then I associate many shades of blue with my Lord Motochika. His clan colour is a shade of light blue, though that is not really why I do so.

Twelve, not eight.

[Excuse him while he nitpicks forever.]

Perhaps even thirteen, although no one would ever be able to say by now, I imagine. And on Alternia, all of those colors meant something.

[Hemospectrum and all.]

Come to think of it, [she ponders this idea for a moment, mulling it over in her mind with careful consideration] you're totally right! I mean, my favorite color is yellow because [wait for it...] bananas are yellow, too.

[Symbolic, right?]

[has_too_many_moles]

From where I am from- Blue flames are the mark of Satan and his kin.

[not_heavens_adam]

Don't you do anything that's not violent?

[not_heavens_adam]

Oh? What's a 'life stream?'

[not_heavens_adam]

Hnn...I can imagine.

[Between raining all the time, no plants, and no color, Johnny really doesn't want to see your world, Cielo.]

Let me guess, the one most important to you would be orange, yes?

[evilisfabulous]

Quite a few of the stores in this lovely city have agreed to sell the clothes I've made, yes.

[not_heavens_adam]

Hmm...is there any particular reason? Just to identify who belongs to what clan, I suppose?

Blue's a good color, I would say it's very soothing yet radiant; it's one of my favorites. Do you mind if I ask why you associate it with him, then, if not for his clan? Don't feel compelled to answer if you don't want to.

[not_heavens_adam]

My apologies.

[You're forgiven because he likes you. Also, he doesn't really care.]

May I ask what those meanings are? I have to admit, based on what little I know already, your culture fascinates me.

[not_heavens_adam]

[Oh. How very logical.

Excuse him while he giggles a bit.]

Let me guess: bananas are your favorite food.

[not_heavens_adam]

[That catches his attention.]

Oh really? I wouldn't have guessed. Where I'm from, black and red are the symbols of evil, darkness, and the devil. Is that not true where you're from?

[not_heavens_adam]

[Oh.]

Well, that's good at least. They are made from cloth, right?

[Not, like, you know, human skin or anything. :|]

[evilisfabulous]

Of course they're made from cloth. What do you take me for?

[not_heavens_adam]

A demon.

[spelunky]

Of course! [It only gets better.] That's because they look like valkines cryas.

[wavesoakedlegs]

For the most part. It is not something usually set in stone, however, and some clans may have the same colour.

[Mitsuhide's eyes slide closed, for a moment.]

Lord Motochika is ruler of an island, and very much a man of the sea. To be far from it for too long unsettles him, I think, though I... I now know he would give it up, for the right reason. That close association with water, and the usual associations of the colour blue with water too, are why it makes me think of him.

[evilisfabulous]

Hmph. I actually have fine taste, as opposed to some of the more crude demons.

[banditking]

Red! I wear a lotta it!

[rainbowarch]

Absolutely! Orange is the color of our Tribe. The lights in our territory were orange.

Other Tribes used other colors.

[amnesiadragon]

How did the Abbess explain it? Um…

"Each of us has a powerful force inside of us. Those attuned to it can see it. To us, it looks like a pillar of shining light. Each person's light is different… its color, size, the way it glows… all these depend on the person. This pillar is each person's life stream, the path their life will take - their lifeforce itself. When people come together, their streams intermingle, join together, and that in turn creates another new stream."

Well it is true that any sort of demon is a cause of trouble and those that are akin to Iblis, the King of Fire, are often dangerous it is those with Blue flames you will have to watch out for. There is also The Blue Night which in my world refers to the day sixteen years ago, when Satan murdered a huge number of the world's greatest holy men.
