[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3503488, member: 2067"] First thing I thought of was new factols, so here's something I came up with for the Athar: [B]Zak'tinik – The Athar[/B] (githyanki paladin of freedom/CG/Athar): Zak'tinik is a githyanki woman with an axe to grind. Born of parents who fled the Astral after the death of the Lich Queen, Zak'tinik was raised in the Hive to fear authority, to respect violence, and to keep in line. She rebelled, something her parents were unfamiliar with. They tried to have her killed, she wound up killing them in self-defense. She found her way to the Athar, strongly believing that these false gods, like her evil parents, like the Lich Queen before them, demanded obedience through force and fear, and that even love is compelled out of a terror of what happens to the disobedient. She knows from experience that those with authority rarely have the courage to use it correctly. She has risen through the Athar with a militaristic doctrine of active provocation of rival churches. Not content to sit around and wait to be exterminated, she has actively attacked many churches throughout the planes, always returning to hide in the streets of Sigil or the winding catacombs beneath the Spire where her faction is now headquartered. The churches she and her “crusaders” target are churches of evil, wrathful deities, almost exclusively. She claims she has no interest in destroying merely deluded fools, but she will not brook the existence of dangerous deluded fools. She has received occasional assistance from more militaristic good churches, but the relationship has always been strained. Many fear that when she's done with the evil churches she'll come for the good, though more think that this crusade will likely end with her irking the wrong powerful cultists and her untimely end. Many members of the faction feel that her crusade endangers them all, as they are still rather small and isolated, taking refuge at the base of the spire. Zak'tinik is wanted in Sigil on charges of vandalism and murder, but she knows enough safe houses to hide in the cracks of the city when needed. [/QUOTE]
