Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ilja" data-source="post: 4919725" data-attributes="member: 84300">One thing that should be noted with Trodder, though maybe only Kagehiro should see it now (or anyone can see it, though their chars won't know it) is that[sblock]he's insane. While most evil characters have some mental issues, he is psychotic and thinks he sees the ghost of those he has known, giving him advice. In particular, the orc Erush is with him more often than not, and is a constant source of wisdom for Trodder... Or so he thinks. While being insane could be represented by low wisdom, in this case I found it rather a motivator for higher-than-average wisdom; while the hallucinations aren't real, they bring up things from his unconscious that he would otherwise never had thought about, much like how hypnotism can have effect IRL. In most cases, the imagined ghosts only comment on what he's doing and gives him advice, but sometimes they require him to do stuff.Except suffering schizophrenia, he's slightly paranoid, something that is compensated by his lowered survival instinct though.Over time, I hope for this character to either grow away from his psychotic or be cured from it (though he doesn't know he's sick), or grow into them and go completely batshit.[/sblock]If you think this concept sounds to far-fetched or too advanced, or in any other way object to it in your campaign Kagehiro, just tell me and I'll skip it. I do think, on a personal level, that I can roleplay this pretty well.</blockquote>
