Personality: Pride prides himself on being an easy guy to get along with. Confident in himself, his abilities, and his own sense of worth he has an uncanny knack to let the troubles of the world roll off his back. Much like water does a duck's back. He sees most of the events of the world outside of his control, and thus not worth worrying about. Things that can not be changed should be accepted, because there is no happiness to be gained by railing against the facts of the world.
He spends his energy honing himself and his abilities so that he can grasp and deal with the things that he can change. The problems that are in front of him. And to protect those that are close to his heart, and with luck help them find happiness.
He has a strong sense of responsibility and honor however, and he will die for those principles. He is certain in his belief that there are worse things that can happen to a man than to die for what he believes in, or to die with honor. With honor comes remembrance and peace. The only two things that matter at the end of one's life. Peace with yourself, and a place in the hearts of those who carved a place in yours.

History Information
History: Pride was born in the small territory of 64, exactly two minutes and thirty seven seconds before his baby sister Joy. Their existence was a hard one, one of strife and scarcity. Constantly living on the edge of extinction at the hands of their sworn enemies and chief rivals. Territory 63. The War for Power had devastated the land and left water a scarce resource, one that was worth more than gold. And it was over this water that 64 and 63 waged war without end.
Pride's life was that of a warrior, trained his whole life for battle, he achieved his first kill at the age of 8 when he killed a scout that had suffered a snakebite while scouting out their village. Pride stabbed the man in the throat with a sharpened stick. His most notable kill however was four years back when they made a heroic raid against 63, destroying two of their forges and liberating enough water to see the village taken care of for weeks. But more than that they struck a decisive blow against 63's leadership. Taking advantage of the chaos that ensued from their strike and one of 63's own awakening to The Gift, Pride capitalized striking a decisive and killing blow on one of the Elders of the village. His own gift keeping him safe from reprisal as he took his trophy and rejoined their strike force.
Life for him and his sister may have continued on that route had their Mother's gift not gone out of control. The fundamental forces of Chaos were said to be wielded by Fate and Faye but one day Chaos refused to be saddled. The devastation to their village was widespread. The population was reduced by ten percent, and their Mother Faye lay broken and dying in the middle of the scorched crater where her power exploded. In the heart of the city.
Pride was not there when she died, but it is said she had a vision. A vision foretelling their doom. That the Oleander would spread and choke out their way of life so that it may bloom.
The sense of doom and unease swept through the village and it was decided that the blood of Faye was to be no more. And so Pride and Joy were exiled from their homes, ordered to never return. Denied their family name, denied their home, and denied the rites of passage to the afterlife when they die. They were ghosts and unwelcome shades. And so it was that Pride decided for them that if they were to be Shades they had best learn how the damned lived. And thus they came to Cabal.
