Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 5216055" data-attributes="member: 18280">Heh.I had a player present me with a "blank slate" background:  Found in the woods by priests of Badur (a deity in the setting), memory gone, just remembers the name "Keye" (and the PC calls himself Locke).  The PC is a fighter.  Just as a throwaway, the player decides to make the fighter left-handed.So, naturally, I decided that Locke was, in fact, not really Locke -- but rather Keye.  Keye is the reflection of Locke, generated through the Plane of Mirrors, and Locke is a powerful wizard.  When the PC lost his memory, he assumed Locke's name, but lost his memories otherwise, and began life again as a fighter.In the campaign milieu, reflections from the Plane of Mirrors are like reflections from a Mirror of Opposition.....yet the PC's memory loss allowed him to become a (mostly) seperate being.The PC "Locke" discovered that he had no relfection himself.  And he ran into folks who had met the real Locke and recognized/did not recognize him.  He began to hear about some guy doing things in his name, and apparently with his face.  Eventually, he met the real Locke and "remembered" the truth (I had prepared a short handout for him).EDIT:  Locke and Keye departed on good terms....The first time such a thing had happened with a reflection and its generator in the history of the milieu.The players liked it so much that I was flooded with material for a time.  Not all of it was the sort of stuff that I considered making game events around, but some of it was.  And, for the some of it that was, wading through the rest was worth it.RC</blockquote>
