[QUOTE="Ath'kethin, post: 7456878, member: 6798775"] The golden standard for a death knight remains Lord Soth, of course. And the idea of nobility fallen due to personal failing is as old as stories. So i think you could use those factors as hooks to roleplay him. He could be grim and determined, but that IS a little played out at this point. So how about this: I don't know if you've ever had to turn to a debt consolidation company or addiction treatment center, but for any person who has, there is a period of buoyancy after the initial consultations. You've been defeated and hopeless for so long, and finally you have a plan to address the problem permanantly - it's a powerful feeling of relief and almost joy, and it can carry you for a while.
