User blog:Queen Misery/Paradox Designs (concept art)

I decided to go and make a few "concepts" of what Paradoxes may look like - a theoretical merging of Secrets and Absolutes, all designs and concepts are liable to major change at any time and should be seen as non-canon until stated otherwise.

Shame
the possible "father" of all Paradoxes, all origins are non-canon as of yet but the idea may be that Shame is the result of a union between the Secret of Love and a wandering Oblivion after the events of SoD - "born" to the Secrets and living up to his name Shame began to see himself as unwanted and unloved (an irony as his "mother" is Love and no doubt tried to treat him well, Oblivion on the other hand disowned him).

As a result Shame would leave the Secrets (or perhaps he was exiled, story is a WIP) - at any rate he would go on to create more Paradoxes via his mind, due to this he is in many ways a creator deity as well as the embodiment of Shame, yet his creations are usually negative - the more postively aligned Paradoxes are likely created via another source (possibly manipulations by a hidden Secret or Union or some other power altogether).

Shame is treated as the "Sky Father" figure of the Paradoxes and is the only member that does not take the form of a teen - instead he resides inside his own "bubble" - forever consumed by his own thoughts as his "children" serve him in their own ways.

Contempt
Contempt is a potential "child" of Shame - alongside her "twin" brother, Disgust - Contempt has similar qualities to the Secret of Anger and the Absolute known as Enmity and as such is one of the more volatile and openly malicious of the Paradoxes.

Contempt's nature makes her an outcast most of the time but Violence, Bloody Mary and the more malicious of the Dark Ones enjoy her company - as does her brother.

Disgust
Disgust is a potential "child" of Shame and the "twin" brother of Contempt - Disgust has similar qualities to the Secret of Hate and the Absolute known as Blight and like his sister is one of the more volatile and openly malicious of the Paradoxes.

Disgust's nature makes him an outcast most of the time but Blight, Violence, Bloody Mary and some of the more malicious Dark Ones enjoy or tolerate his company as does his sister.
