[QUOTE="HermanTheWize, post: 7081354, member: 6803538"] [B]Out-Of-Game: [/B]Biggest thing, I just wanted to be hexblade/blade. [B]Story Reason Upfront: [/B]He's trying to control these "powers" that are inside him to use for good. He has a hard time controlling the powers, something inside of him compels him to act evil. He has killed a man during a session because he couldn't control himself(the guy was pretty evil though, and wasn't going to change, but he still regrets it). [B]Story Reason(hasn't told other party members):[/B] He wants to find out what did this to him, and he thinks using these powers will help. He wants justice for his old crew-mates. The backstory explains this part(I left it vague so the DM would have lots of "play room") The character is a genuinely a good guy and wants to help people, [B]but it's mostly out of necessity.[/B] There is an old paladin that is helping him learn to control the powers; that Paladin has gone missing and he's trying to find out what happened. He's also helped his favorite bartender to help clear out a ratman infestation in his cellar, and wanted to help him so he wouldn't have to close down his bar. Also, pest control never came out of the cellar, so he felt he had to help(he knew he could). He's cleared the name of this man he didn't like; because he knew he was framed and it was the right thing to clear his name when no one else would. [/QUOTE]
