Symbols of the Archetype

Athletic logos
- Examples: St. Louis Rams, Barcelona F.C., Colorado Rapids, Indiana Pacers, Colorado Rockies

These logos represent companionship when they all have the same symbol on thier uniforms. They are going to work together and conjoin into one unit in order to get the job done. Members of an athletic team are a great example of companions because they practice together, "work" together and usually spend much more time together.

- These two will stay with eachother forever even if it means killing tons of other people.
