The character group included a water genasi, an earth genasi, an aasimar, and a half elf, among others. One day on a lark, they decided they were all half-siblings, the children of some kind of very charismatic inter-planar door to door salesman. We ran with it, introduced more sibling NPC's, included a side plot to unite the family and try and find Dad...  The clincher came at the end when the water genasi cleric, having quietly and patiently researched means to become a lich throughout the entire campaign, absconded with the rod of seven parts and got her wish, becoming a near-immortal lich. The siblings were furious. I nearly had to DM an interplanar quest for the aasimar paladin half-brother to locate her phylactery and then her, but he realized that the rest of the family didn't support him...  Tempers ran hot that day, and the cleric and paladin, friends of years, nearly created an in-character vedetta that could only be expiated by death.  But it all worked out....</blockquote>
