[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5011431, member: 54846"] So far, I've managed to find [I]a[/I] way to work most of my PCs into the plots for [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/266425-divine-mojo-mia.html"]my campaign[/URL]. Except one. He has a really interesting backstory, but I can't think of a good way to use it to my advantage. [sblock=The Backstory]The PC (Riskov) was a powerful Eladrin in the Court of Summer. He was madly in love with another eladrin. There was a great war, and it involved the Fomorians. At some point, his lady love was kidnapped by the Fomorians, and he pursued. By the time Riskov battled his way through the Fomorian castle to her captors, he discovered that his love's soul had been sacrificed; the Fomorians had used it to work a dark ritual to aid them in the war. She was gone. He left the Feywild, into the Shadowfell, to pursue his lady love's soul. His journey took him to the realm of the Raven Queen, who told him that she had his love's soul, and it was hers now - even if she chose to ressurect it, it would not be brought back as an Eladrin. Part of this was to spite the Summer Court, and part (the player believes) the Raven Queen's scheme. After leaving the Raven Queen's court he wandered the Shadowfell in despair. Naturally the plane tried consuming his memories and personality, and while it did so for most of him to the point where he had started to fade away, he wouldn't let it take away the memory of his lover, even if that would take away the pain. Before he died, a voice spoke on his head. The Voice of the Evening Glory, Goddess of Love, Beauty and Undeath. She saw the pain in him, and said she would reward his heartache. As he died, she returned him to live as a Revenant, and her servant.[/sblock] [sblock=The Evening Glory]The Eternal Lover is a lesser deity of Love that Never Dies - love at any price. She is a goddess of love, beauty and immortality through undeath - the notion that the contents of the heart should go on, even after the organ stops beating. Love transcending life should mean living through undeath. So she's worshiped by lovers, immortality seekers, and the undead. She is also (by accident) the Goddess of Romantic Suicide.[/sblock] So I want to find a way to use this to my advantage. Namely: 1) A good place for the soul of Riskov's love to pop up.
