Puppy Kicking PCs OOC RECRUITMENT DONE

I like Dulanse quite a bit, so don't worry about being too vanilla.

And Paxus- Just because he resists the classification doesn't mean he ain't. )

Very true; his picture is probably right next to the Emperor of San Francisco under the definition of "absolutely, completely insane, beyond any hope of redemption." His major problem is a near-schizophrenic disjunct between how he views the majority of people, and how he views the handful of people he respects.

Woah... he respects people? I thought regarded everyone as inferior to him (except, presumably, other people with fiendish blood).

Thanks. I like the guy myself, I suppose that's why I'm worried about the poor chap being upstaged. He's kind of the "elderly driver" of evil - slow to get around, but devastating when he finally reaches the farmer's market, while most of the other characters strike me as being the "drunk drivers" of evil - erratic and uncontrollable until they smash into something.

So, uh, is there any thought on why our merry band of bastards is together?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and if there's any consensus on us needing a rogue, I do have an idea for one, an Igor with an edge, if you will...

Heh. Dig the metaphor.

Depends on whether you ask Rhesa when she's in character or not. Rhesa will probably throw her lot in with the group, whatever its reason for assembly, to show herself that She's Still Got It (remaining neutral-wise), whatever "it" is. Aeweth is exceedingly soppy. She'll latch on to a powerful personality that doesn't seem too pyschopathic. Lydia is most likely- her obsession, I expect, is mostly kept hidden, and to Aeweth female=relative non-threatening.

He regards the vast majority of people as inferiors, but not all. For example, despite her meager human blood, Lydia has achieved both power and amorality. Rhesa he'll respect at first for her outsider blood, but her fence-sitting will aggravate him tremendously. Most of the others he's borderline on. The elf gets some respect for not being human, but loses some for being a plaything to lesser beings. Sunedilar is physically capable, but his reluctance to use it costs him points. Gwyn's not as strong as he knows he's going to be when he matures (gets the other three levels of half-fiend), so he's a little easier on like-minded companions than he might be otherwise. His respect isn't limited to evil, either; a half-celestial paladin could earn it, provided they were devoted to their cause, and not wishy-washily more afraid of doing evil than eager to stop it.

And he'll have even less respect for her to begin with, since she specifically hides her outsider status. Oy. How does he react to wishy-washy girly wannabe academics?

I'm not sure how much I can say explicitly, so I'll be as vague as possible. Think of the worst things you can imagine one human being doing to another. Consider that I probably have a better imagination in that department than you. Remove only those things that leave scars unhealable by magic.

This ought to be an interesting game. Lydia really doesn't mind working with others, as long as they aren't too squicked about the dead. If they get creeped out by her looking over corpses to find a good one then she'll just have contempt for them. She appreciates people that aren't shy about her picadillos. But get to bullying and she starts contemplating how much better off you'd be if you were dead.

Gwyn's probably going to be willing to help there, thanks to his bizarre sense of aesthetics; after all, why waste such a wonderful body just because it's not breathing anymore?

Nyos will be right there with her as his fascination with the dead continues to grow over the course of the campaign. He is, I suppose, the "newbie of evil" in this particular group having only killed a few before he was chased out of his home, but I think he has some potential.
