Arms as interpreted by the Armiger
Arms as interpreted by the Armiger

Blazon:

Arms:  Or, a Chevron Sable. In chief, silhouettes of a unicorn's head erased in dexter and a fish naiant in sinister, both Gules; in base, a three-masted galley in full sail Proper with sails Argent, flag and pennants Gules.

Crest:  A dragon's head couped Gules and Or

Motto:  Vindicta Mea Est  (Revenge is Mine)

Design Rationale:

The colors used in my arms are Gold and Black. The color Gold often represents generosity, elevation of the mind, etc. In my case, I also see it as refinement, bringing man to the best that he can be, bringing out his purity. Black is often associated with the darker side of things, and the two used here represent the fact that there is both good and evil in the world. Red is typically associated with warriors and military strength; in my case, it represents the blood spilled during our country's forming, shaping, and defense.

The fish represents my father's love for fishing, and the unicorn represents my mother's love of unicorns. The galley represents my ancestors coming to the new world. The dragon in the crest represents my love of fantasy and fanciful animals; the dragon being my favorite."
