[QUOTE="Fifinjir, post: 9129567, member: 7031683"] In Curse of Strahd I’m playing Gaius, an arcane domain cleric. He was born in a lonely village covered in a strange fog, which he grew to have a phobia of; and there was always a feeling that he could never really connect with his fellow villagers, like he could look into their eyes and question if they really noticed his presence even when they talked to him. One day he was wandering the outskirts when he found a corpse of a traveler, an unfortunately familiar sight. But the medallion the traveler held had a strange pull on Gaius. He picked it up and took it home. That’s when he started hearing voices he could just barely make out, saw figures at the corners of his eyes, and began doing some really weird stuff himself, summoning sparks of light and flame to disperse stands of mist that got too close. He realized that the voices had empowered him in some way, and decided to go on a journey to find out what was going on. On the road, a very thick mist overcame him, and when it cleared he found himself in a whole new place, with a clear sky full of stars and people with life in their eyes. He could never find the location of his village, and eventually joined a cloister of scholars where he studied and trained his power to be an exorcist. Later Kairos, one of the nobles of this new land (and one of the other PCs) hired Gaius to join her expedition to some old ruins. When they arrived, mist enveloped the group once more and they found themselves in Barovia. In truth, Gaius originally came from the Land of Mist, and his medallion invokes the power of both Ezra and the Dark Powers, who subtly compete for his soul. He was [I]meant[/I] to return to the Mist, his time outside was only a brief reprieve. The more he learns about Barovia, the more these facts stare him in the face. More than any other party member, Gaius sees Barovia as an almost personal being in its own right, and thinks of it as his enemy more than he does for any of its inhabitants. That said, he’s become far more cynical towards its people after finding out how the dream pastries were made. He wants to talk with Strahd to find answers about what’s going on, but doesn’t trust him at all. In the party he serves as a stabilizing influence, trying to keep everyone else from coming to blows and subtly guiding them to keep focused on the task at hand. [/QUOTE]
