Alrighty then, awkward question time. Its been a long while since I flexed my aching player muscles and I've been longing to do so again.
While I've got a vault full of characters I love, there's something a bit wrong about digging out those faces from ages past and trying to play them again!
I've narrowed it down to three choices, all three appeal equally to me in terms of mechanics and story, though each for different reasons.
1. Itinerant low-priest of Kossuth (cleric / bard). LN. A fairly devout chap returned to Sundren after being sent away in childhood. Arrived with plans to assist with Kossuthian shenanigans, religious arson and choral singing.
Based around a few loose concepts stolen from ancient Greek civilisation mixed in with some pseudo medieval religious overtones. Focused on the importance of the right balance of humours within people, and more specifically the need for heat and fire in all their doings.
2. Paladin of Chuantea (either straight paladin or paladin / ranger). Very earthy type chap in the sense of being a practical farm worker rather than idealistic green avenger type. Based on a few scatchy parts of rural idealism, athleticism and some trappings of Victoriana. Less of a Green Knight style figure and more of a common man thrust into an unwanted position and possessed of a strong sense of right, wrong and lambing.
3. Paladin of Sune (paladin / bard). A foreign chap on a pilgrimage to Sundren (chosen by throwing a dart at a map of the known world). Abstains from sex, takes lots of drugs and drinks. Inspired by a few medieval illustrations, a treatise on Courtly Love and Welsh bards. A defender of beauty and art, frowns on pointless promiscuity as it dilutes true love, a bit whimsical but with the core of bastard iron you'd expect from a Paladin.
Anyway, help me decide please! Is there room for these kind of characters on the server, would having any one of those dotted around make anyone's life less or more complicated (in a good way)?
