Argyle King
Legend
Olidammara was by far my favorite pre-4th Edition deity. I always wanted to try a paladin of Olidammara, but I was never sure how to reconcile 3rd Editions insistence upon LG paladins with a god who embraced chaos.
In 4th Edition, Sehanine was my favorite. One of my first 4E characters was a Warlord who multiclassed into Paladin and became a rather pious believer in Sehanine. I'm pretty sure it was paladin because I remember taking some sort of Paragon Path which slowly started turning me into an angel and giving me angelic aspects. In an odd twist, he slowly started to edge (mostly subconsciously as his views were changed during the campaign) toward evil, and developed a romantic relationship with Glasya. She (as well as Asmodeus) died during that campaign, and it was her death which pushed him over the edge. He was still a follower of Sehanine, but twisted his beliefs; since he could not find love, he would set out to create a world in which all would love him. After the campaign to 30 wrapped up, he became what was essentially the king of hell (replacing Asmodeus.) I believe there was also one of the other gods he took the place of as well; a lot of gods and epic creatures died during that campaign. However, he chose to not reveal his true identity. His goal was to slay all of the other gods, but then he would still use their names and allow people to believe they still existed. At that point, he would then cause holy wars between his different factions (who believed they were following different deities) as a test to see who loved him the most. I think it's because of that character that Sehanine became one of my favorites.
