[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 6259546, member: 6390"] OK, Lykere and Wolvorine, remember: You are arrogant, opinionated, holier than thou, with the might of 'the most advanced civilization in the world' behind you as well as Father Church's blessing in all of your endevors. You have clerical rank or church army rank, you are NOT one of the common rabble (who are ignorant, superstitious rabble barely worth the food they eat), nor are you ignorant Church Soldiers who only serve God's Will out of a desire to fill their bellies or being ordered to join the Church Army as penance. You are the guardians of the common people's souls, constantly on the watch for any hint of heresy or the corrupting influence of Orcus and his fallen angels who seek to corrupt Namotha's perfect vision. You have power over common guards, the average military soldiers (even officers and low ranking noble scions), the nobility, and even non-ecclesiastical judges, who must also be watched closely for any taint of demonic powers. In Arkravia you hold a Writ of Life, commanding you to watch over those the Holy Church and the Holy Empress have sent to the Far World, as well as a Writ of Judgement, which allows you to pronounce judgement over those emplaced in your care. The Lagoos are only people with souls that can be saved because the Pope, in his infinite mercy as Lord God's voice on Duriala, decreed them purged of their demonic taint with the conclusion of the Third Great Crusade. They now hold their proper place in society: servants, serfs and slaves to their betters. If they starve or die in the fields, then that is their lot in life and there are more where they came from. They must be watched at all time for any heresy or any resurgences of their cults or return to polytheism. Their odd pinkish skin and bleached out hair color marks them with their original sin of siding with Orcus when he rebelled against the One True God having bleached away their proper human appearance. Common nicknames for them: Pinkies, strawheads, Lagoos, goos, and HERETIC!!!! Despite the fact that burning a heretic at the stake merely on the words of their neighbors, taking what you want from the lower ranking, and otherwise abusing your authority, you are all still considered "good" and a "Detect Good" will register your characters as good, even if you just killed 40 tribesmen, burned down their village, and burned their shamans and midwives at the stake because you stepped in goat poop and got it on your shiny new shoes. Next up, what you were told before you left, the voyage and the like, and some more data on the world. (Note to anyone who watches this: These characters see themselves as heroes, as does their homeland and their church, but their actions do and will show otherwise) [/QUOTE]
