Since the subject came up in a thread and I'm curious,

What Magic: the Gathering colors are your characters?

Not familiar with M:tG? No problem! Aside from the helpful links above, here's a quick lowdown:

White is the color associated with law and order, protection and peace. Angels and your stereotypical paladin-type characters would be White.

Green is the color of nature, the essence and strength of life, instinct and growth. Think like druids and shamans, or characters who have an uncanny connection to animals or plants.

Red is the color of fiery passion, freedom and impulsiveness. Red characters would be your typical shounen manga protagonists who like to rush into things headfirst with a lot of enthusiasm but little thought.

Black is the color of death and decay, ambition and darkness. The undead or someone who's ruthlessly self-interested and will go any length to achieve their goal would be Black.

Blue is the color knowledge and logic, as well as manipulation and deception or illusion. Brilliant inventors and scholars, or skilled illusionists and psychics are typically Blue.


....and if all else fails, there's PLENTY of "what color are you?" quizzes turned up by a quick search on google.

So! What colors are your characters? Discuss~

Green lacks subtle, but it isn't Carmen's lack of subtle. Because Green's unsubtle is mindless, and Carmen's unsubtle is that she feels she's better than you, your laws, and your wit. Hence the whole game to catch her.

Izzet Colors are very her.

Well, in fairness, the woman once decided she loved American history so much that she'd go back in time to steal a bunch of significant pieces of it for herself before they actually became significant pieces of it, thus semi-irrevocably changing history in ways including but not limited to disrupting the discovery of electricity while herself stuck in the past via means that required electricity itself to run.

Also she once decided to summon aliens by collecting a bunch of alien-related spooky landmarks, dropping them in the midst of the Australian outback, and...waiting, apparently.

And she thought she could make fine art by stealing key components of already famous artwork (Van Gogh's eyes, a Picasso nose, and the Mona Lisa's smile) and just sort of...shoving them together...on a canvas...to "create a masterpiece" of her own...yeah.

So I wouldn't say that she's necessarily mindless, and you could probably attribute some of those to Red's emotion-driven thing, too, but there is really no denying she does have her moments of inexplicably flagrant stupidity.

That's way more "She failed to think things through" which is very much a joke of the Izzet (Read a random sampling of Izzet flavortext and you'll see this as a trend, that and MORE POWER). That they push the envelope so much because they want to, and are too impatient to really think through the end point of their plan.

She is a cartoony evil genius, which means she can't have flawless plans, but the attempt to plan is very much... Izzet. Plus Green is slave to nature and destiny (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), while red is FREEDOM!
