[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 2377535, member: 704"] [b]Selected Answers, In Bulk[/b] Happily, I am quite bored right now, so here are 30 possible reasons. Obvious / Boring / Cliche reasons. 1) A previously defeated foe is seeking revenge. 2) He is the "Chosen One", and is needed for some ritual. 3) He is the last of his bloodline, and his death will fulfill a prophecy. 4) He is in the line of succession for a throne, and does not realize it. Somone lower in the succession wants him dead to assure his own ascendance to the throne. 5) The wife of a vengeful assassin slept with him recently. The assassin wants revenge. 6) There is a bounty on his head due to his actions in a previous adventure. 7) He is a wanted theif. 8) He was wrongfully accused of murder by the man who is actually guilty. 9) They are not after him, they are after the artifact that he unknowingly carries with him. 10) A nursery rhyme his father told him as a child is the pass word to a lost treasure. Since his parents are dead, he is the last living person who can unlock the treasure. Better reasons that arent so predictible 1) He is the clone of a mad wizard, one of many. And the original person wants him dead. 2) A time traveller from the future has come back in time to kill him to prevent an apocalypse of some sort. 3) He is a living gateway to hell, and someone wants to make sure that gateway is never opened. 4) His existence is a mistake of the gods that must be set right before creation is unmade. 5) He sold his soul to a demon, and was then re-incarnated. The demon is holding him to the original deal. 6) He is wanted for murder. Whats intresting is that he is guilty. 7) The god of Justice (or some other convenient virtue) appeared before someone and demanded that he kill the player to prevent an apocalypse. Actually, it was a god of trickery. The actions of the misled person have been sheilded from the true god of justice, who has no idea that someone is trying to commit murder in his name. 8) As a child, he and his friends used to chant the name of a demon, in a childish game to summon the boogy man. That demon was banished for 100 years. It has returend, and is coming to kill every person that ever chanted his name. 9) One of his ancestors was a demon. Every woman he has ever had physical relations with has become a demon. To prevent the deaths of more women, a group of adventurers are trying to capture him and kill him. Or at least put him in a monastary after he takes a vow of celabacy. 10) He has been cursed. Every villiage he visits has been beset with misfortune. They have blamed him for their troubles, and wish to kill him. Reasons that just seem amusing right now. 1) He impregnated his sister, and his father is out to kill him. 2) Someone who looks exactly like him sold his soul to a demon. The demon wants his soul due to a case of mistaken identity. 3) The wife of a vengeful assassin told her husband that she slept with the player recently to cover for her real lover. The assassin wants revenge. 4) The player uttered a blasphemous oath while drunk in earshot of an unusually zealous believer, who will see the player answer for his words. 5) He has offended someone, and that person has ordered him captured and brought back into his presence so he can apologize properly. 6) An apsiring assassin was asking a more experienced assassin what he could do to prove himself worthy of joining up. The Assassin picked the first person he could out in a crowd and said "Kill that person, and bring me his head", hoping to get the idiot to leave him alone. The person he pointed to was the player. 7) As a child, the player was a bully, and picked on the scrawny kid. The kid holds grudges quite long. 8) His grandson is trying to prove or disprove once and for all that if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, you will not disappear in a puff of smoke. 9) He is the last in a rare bloodline of people that taste great to dragons. He is to be captured and forced to breed so that a dragon with truly refined taste can enjoy an eternity of good eating. 10) It has been foretold that his child will end the world. So some people trying to save the world are out to cut his balls off, thereby saving the world. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
