Questions

  • The initial focus of the game will be a conflict with the Guild in the South, and the corruption it represents. With that in mind, answer the following:
    • Why is your character opposed to the guild?
    • What are your character's intentions with regards to the guild?
    • What reasons do you have for remaining in the South for the moment, besides already being there?
Note: Since these three questions reflect the premise of the game, 'None, really' is not a valid answer for obvious reasons.


  • List 3 different things (people, objects, organizations, causes) that your character wants, hates, or cares about. Don't worry about lack of knowledge regarding the setting. Make them up if needed, and *poof* they were always there. We'll find a way to work them in, possibly with a bit of mangling.


  • List 3 things that you as a player want to show up in this game. This can be conflicts, moral questions, scenes, opponents, opportunities etc.


  • Describe an environment (set piece) for a fight scene you'd like to see.

Answers

Zenith

  • Why is your character opposed to the guild?

The Guild represents the very worst of the tyranny of mortals. It is practically a government unto itself, but one focused on gaining wealth at the expense of the people. It is a merchant in king's robes; while merchants have their place, they can't possibly be regarded as the fair, just, and impartial force that a ruler must be. While the dragonblooded are in revolt against the natural order, the guild represents an even more flagrant violation. Bringing them low is the greatest blow that can currently be struck for righteousness.

  • What are your character's intentions with regards to the guild?

Ultimately, to see the guild in ruins and its trade brought under the eye of strict policing; its slaves freed and its leaders destroyed. Making this permanent will require the force of the Realm, but disrupting the Guild to its core will greatly reduce its impact for many years.

  • What reasons do you have for remaining in the South for the moment, besides already being there?

My manse and my investments in Chiaroscuro, first--"all my stuff is there", so to speak. It's something of a surrogate homeland, also, having been dispossessed of my own. Truly, though, every land the Unconquered Sun touches is my home.

  • List 3 different things that your character wants, hates, or cares about.

-Hates the Realm for its usurpation by the Dragonblooded -Cares for the people oppressed by the above -Cares for his family, if distantly; he wishes them no ill despite their estrangement.

  • List 3 things that you as a player want to show up in this game. This can be conflicts, moral questions, scenes, opponents, opportunities etc.

-Conflict with his brother, Cathak Kiru, riding with the Wyld Hunt. -Lead a slave revolt out of somewhere interesting -Deal with spirits or elementals

  • Describe an environment (set piece) for a fight scene you'd like to see.
