The potential love that this thread will focus on is between two members of the same sex, so if this bothers you, please leave.)Okay, so the GM in the campaign I'm in has decided to give each of his players' characters sort of a special "thing" that the characters are to have obtained/developed over the course of the campaign, and in the case of my character, Jesse Redfield, that would be a relationship with the NPC Vikki Filch. Having never been in a relationship myself, I'm quite unaware of what to do regarding the development of said relationship - and personally, I disagree with some of the GM's views regarding this situation, but it's what I'm getting, so... yeah.My character, Jesse, is a blacksmith's apprentice (class: barbarian) from a small farming community. She's naturally gifted in most areas (in other words, I rolled excellent stats), but the slow pace of the life she's lived so far has inspired little in the way of curiosity. While she never really had much of an interest in the local boys, and would occasionally idly consider what it would be like to be in a relationship with a girl, it wasn't until about a year ago that she actually realized that these things might not just be coincidences. Having only heard of heterosexual couples, she didn't want to alienate herself by opening up to someone about this subject, and so she simply left this area of her identity unexplored.All of this changed when the threat of an invasion of goblins and other nasty things caused her and the others in the party to seek aid for her village from the larger cities. Having reached the first city, Annobarr, the group encountered a pickpocket almost immediately after entering. Having chased down the thief, Vikki, Jesse was immediately told all about how difficult life was as a young pauper... Jesse had immediately taken pity on Vikki, deciding to cover the cost of her ally's stolen gold, but here was an outsider to Jesse's life, someone Jesse could afford to open up to without risking losing friends or family, and even better was the fact that this young woman was probably more world-wise than Jesse was, and thus could possibly answer a question that Jesse refused to ask anyone else:"Do you think, maybe, that girls only like guys because we're expected to?"Long story short, Vikki ran off. Later on, the city of Annobarr faced its own invasion, and the party was given horses to send for aid from Morrkova. Upon escaping the city, who else tries to catch up to the party but Vikki? Jesse, still feeling pity, slowed down to allow Vikki on the horse. A few sessions later, and now the party is trying to find artifacts from the world's creation to try to stop the world from being eaten by darkness. Anyway...The problems I'm seeing, specific to this situation, are that, first of all, Jesse is Neutral Good, while Vikki is Chaotic Neutral. I was initially going to abandon pursuing that relationship, instead taking the Leadership feat when I could to get a more compatible NPC, but the GM basically said that it's either Vikki or no one. He did say that I could try to change Vikki's alignment through roleplaying (I'm assuming there are actual rules for doing this, which is why I'm posting in the DnD 3.5 section), but I'm not very good at that, and my character isn't exactly the type to manipulate others.Second of all, there's the whole "world ending" thing going on, which might make things inconvenient for my character to try to pursue a relationship. Either way, I'm looking for help on how to actually go about roleplaying this sort of thing.</blockquote>
