Message: <blockquote data-quote="knightofround" data-source="post: 5237190" data-attributes="member: 27884">One of the most interesting PCs I've seen in my games was a Good Assassin. He was far more religious than either of the two clerics in the campaign. This character saw himself as a tool of God to judge and purge the world of evil. The reason he turned into a shadowy killer is that he *highly* regarded innocent life, and never wanted to risk hurting or killing someone innocent. This included his own, which is why he killed from the shadows. He only killed those who propagated evil, not those who merely served evil, or those who were seduced by it in order to gain power. (Unless his own life, or one of his comrades was in immediate danger, anyway) He had a strong belief that those kinds of people had inherently good souls, and they could be saved if he performed his task well.Later on in the campaign, the character became even more self-preserving, as his interactions with others led him to believe that the world was becoming more evil by the day. The character greatly feared that if they were to die, then there would be no one else who could take up his task without being corrupted by the darkness that comes with it.It was a most amazing character, especially how the player handled playing such a loner character so well within D&D's party framework, without becoming a silent outcast. It was a fascinating mixture of "Light" from the anime Death Note, and the "MacManus brothers" from the film Boondock Saints.</blockquote>
