[QUOTE="InzeladunMaster, post: 3286247, member: 9774"] Of course you can have fun with that sort of character. Monks have a long history of existing in [I]Inzeladun[/I]. The destruction of the temple was an idea put forth purely for motivational reasons - a reason to want to adventure, fight, etc. It is a common theme among hero stories that the hero is deprived of his support in order to push him to heroics - Superman loses his world and his dad, Luke Skywalker loses his aunt & uncle, Batman loses his family, Spider-man loses his uncle, Paul Muadib loses his family, Frankenstein's Monster loses his creator, Tarzan loses his parents, etc. If you really want to retain the temple, that is okay too. I kind of like the Last of the Breed type characters - last of the Jedi, sort of thing, but it is your character. That paragraph I wrote was just what came to mind when I envisioned what you wrote - my interpretation, if you will. You inspired that vision, actually. It isn't set in stone. Anyway, you shouldn't feel like a dumbass for suggesting it, since it inspired a vision - and so far is the only character suggestion that has done so thus far. In [I]Conan[/I], wanderlust is as good as an excuse as any to adventure. In [I]Inzeladun[/I], it is about the hero-cycle. It is about the rise and fall of things. It is about epics, not adventures. I have no problem with monks and have played several in [I]Inzeladun[/I] myself. [/QUOTE]
