[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8170770, member: 6788736"] You havent given any actual human motivations or background or goals and desires for your PC and you want advice for how to roleplay him? -------------------- My Hexblade Blade Lock/ Shadow Sorcerer is a lone survivor from Thulanthar (the Netherese City of Shade) and a direct descendant of the High Arcanist. He was killed when Elminster crashed the City of Shade on Myth Drannor. Transported to the Shadowfell on his demise, he was approached by a mysterious raven haired woman. Mistaking her for Shar, he recoiled in horror, but was soon corrected; for she was an extraplanar entity who called herself the Raven Queen. An interloper and a direct challenge to Shars authority, she sought a champion in Faerun. Granting me a magical black bladed Greatsword called 'Harvester of Sorrow' she returned me to the mortal world as her emissary. My goal is to restore the City of Shade as the capital of a new Netherese Empire, united under the Raven Queen as its patron. I seek Netherese artifacts and history on the ancient Empire, and violently oppose Shar as the cause of the downfall of Thulanthar. --------------------- Like any other fictional character (in a novel or movie or whatever) come up with a backstory for your PC and a series of goals he is trying to achieve. With an Ideal, Bond and Flaw, and an Alignment to view those through, the actual roleplaying of that PC will just naturally flow through you as you look through the eyes of that fictional person, with that fictional history, seeing his fictional goals.
