[QUOTE="Funeris, post: 2754744, member: 22792"] Thanks Anti-Sean :D That made me all warm and tingly inside. And you're dead on ([i]so to speak[/i]) with the comparison of evils between Rhynos and End-Bringer. End-Bringer...does at least seem alien (you don't know his whole past...so maybe that'll come into play...and I can make you feel for him as well...cuz I'm [b]evil[/b] like that). End-Bringer...is what Aliens...or Demons/Devils...Angels...Gods...should be...an unknown entity. You don't know what drives him truly (aside from his god/king). Does he enjoy the death/pain/suffering he causes? Is he truly evil...or is he more like a machine?? Rhynos on the other hand...here you have a guy that was obviously abused as a child (and often even though you only get one true glimpse of it). He's been forced to feel inferior all his life...as compared to the brother that was truly inferior and was to inherit the father's business. He had a loving mother...that was forced to keep a safe distance or be "punished". His father neglected him. He suffered injustice. So...he did what most second children from Midloth did...he enlisted into the King's army (seeing as how it is the capital of Norum da Salaex...the King has a very [b]strong and constant[/b] presence in his own city). And he quickly rose through the ranks...taking lead of these inferior creatures (orcs, half-orcs, goblins, half-goblins) in an undeclared war. The power...for one constantly forced into an inferior position...was overwhelming. So he reacts the way he was taught those in power act: he abuses his troops, his "friends"...everyone. Then of course...he's pushed even further from his humanity with the vampirism. Its a constant downhill slide with his intentions and soul...that began at his birth. Hell, it may have even began before that--but now I get ahead of myself, the story hour, and even the game ;) Rhynos is what every human can be. That's why I like humans in roleplaying games. They have this great ability of being Angels or Devils...and the getting to that point is delicious. That is probably why I studied Psychology & Criminal Justice in college too :D Besides...we as humans can relate more to human characters...at least initially. Well, I'll stop boring you with my rambling. I have to get prepared for a meeting. Ugh. ~Fune [/QUOTE]
