Meet KnuOrigen: The Sage Ape.
The Ape, in its most positive light, is commonly used as a dual symbol of primitive nature and high intelligence - the combination of instinct and rational thought. Thus, it represents balance. It can be tenacious and yet gentle. Free and yet orderly. Nevertheless, many cultural stigmas put the Ape in a negative light: it's dumb, incomplete, second-class, wild, and most of all an outcast. Knu wears the image to redeem it by embracing it for all it is and, hopefully, to break misconceptions.

Meet Kay Sade: The Black Sheep.
The Black Sheep, in the idiom’s original sense, represents an odd or disreputable member of a group. In a positive sense, it represents standing out from the crowd. There is an honor attached to submission to this trait, especially because any Black Sheep knows that the choice to fit in is not in his or her hands. From the Christian lens, God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to nullify the things that are. Kay Sade wears the image as one who listens to Jesus the Shepherd’s voice regardless of stigma.
