[QUOTE="GreatLemur, post: 2028468, member: 28553"] Man, this does sound interesting. I've been wanting to play an Eberron game for a while, now, and this is so fantastically far afield of standard fantasy fare--even by Eberron standards--that I'd love a place in it. I'm afraid I don't know the setting as well as I ought to at the moment, but right now I'm imagining a smart, social-skill-focused Rogue-type who's been serving a sort of Internal Affairs kind of role in the Church before being contacted by the Lodge (i.e., some high-ups would send him from parish to parish to make friends with the priesthood and layfolk alike, and then report of signs of corruption or heresy). This might, of course, be a reason for the other members of his Loge cell to distrust him. I keep wanting to make his background that of a street-tough orphan who'd pick pockets and get in knife fights while on the streets, but turn into a backstabbing snitch and suck-up whenever he's taken in by social services, until he finally played the goody-two-shoes well enough that some city official sponsored him for the priesthood. But He wouldn't be some thief-at-heart priest of opportunity, merely the sort of guy who wholeheartedly goes along with whatever power structure he's part of, be it a gang, an orphanage, or the Church of the Silver Flame. Orphans are a bit on the cliche side, though, so I could ditch that. Maybe his dirt-poor parents are still out there, and remain the only people in the world he's truly genuine with. EDIT: Damn, beaten to the rogue-with-criminal-background bit. Maybe I should go for that Church-made warforged bit, instead. That does sound interesting. [/QUOTE]
