[QUOTE="Pyske, post: 348984, member: 3567"] My last character concept seems to fit very well the feel you're looking for: an assassin, evil with all the excuses (I was an orphan, they beat me as a child, I had to steal to survive, love is just an illusion, trust is a weapon used against the gullible, etc.), who died and went to hell. A villain needed information from her, and since speak with dead was not sufficient, he raised her. Now she is looking for an opportunity to redeem herself, but she doesn't believe that "right action" is sufficient. She falls in with the party, who she is relying on to teach her how to value all the things good in life. At the same time, she is terrified of dying again before she gets the "goodness" thing right. Other possible themes: The masochist. The doomed person trying to leave a lasting mark on the world. The glory hound. The pseudonaturalist. The ringer who will eventually come to value the PCs more than his employer. The rogue who secretly tries to "help" the other PCs when their morals are interfering with the best course (i.e. steals things and slips them into the next treasure hoard, forges orders to the paladin from his superiors, etc.). . . . . . . . -- Eric [/QUOTE]
