Pillar

**A Pillar** is an important individual who is bound to a concept, object, or principle which uplifts and enlightens existence itself, often as a guardian and embodiment of such concepts.

## Overview

Often an individual with the fortitude and skill to back it up, Pillars are important individuals who are the guardians of concepts in existence, bound to protect existence from despair and hatred. Pillars also must uphold the concept they represent in their personality or values, and with time it is possible for the Pillar to lose their status as they change, meaning eventually the status as a Pillar will fade and move on to another person who is worthy and willing.

Pillars can also share the strengths of themselves with others, known as Pieces of Heart. This is also a responsibility for Pillars to perform, as they must keep the world from falling into despair by sharing the infinite concepts they represent with their sub-aspects.
