[QUOTE="vulcan_idic, post: 2091876, member: 19615"] Hello, I posted this concept originally in the Rogues Gallery because it seemed to fit best there. If reposting it here is bad form then I apologize to the Mods and ask that they take appropriate action, I simply thought it would get higher visibility, and thus more thoughts here. I had a High-Power/Epic Char concept the other night that I just thought I'd bounce off the boards. The character is derived from a tale of forbidden love (a la "The Scarlett Letter" or "Romeo and Juliet"). The mother is from a remote, evil villiage that has long interbred, mingled, and made pacts with denizens of the dark realms. The mother, on a long undercover mission to lands which live under the light fell in love with, and he with her, a man she later discovered to be an Angel in disguise. After a few clandestine meetings, they were forced to stop seeing one another or face dire consequences, but each remained deeply in love with the other for the rest of their existances. Nine months later, unbeknownst to the father and father unknown to the villiage, the character is born. The character grows up to be a warlock with great inborn powers, but there is conflict in his blood - one side from his father, one side from his mother's people - and in his upbringing - one side his mother's secret guidance (which has been changed and altered through her love of his father) and the guidance of the villiage he grows up in. As he begins to attain maturity he flees his villiage in an effort to escape the darkness, and run and fight towards the light... but can he overcome the evil inside of him? He has a long road ahead of him. His people will likely try with all their might to turn him back to the darkness, or - failing that - destroy him, particularly as they will likely suffer at the hands of their devilish and demonic associates as long as he is uncontrolled. And should he find his way to a good place, should anyone discover where he came from or see his carefully hidden devilish/demonic traits they will likely distrust him at the very least, or, more probably form a Frankensteinian-type mob and try to kill him unless he can escape it. Come to think of it this might occur something like the trial of Teal'C in the first season episode of Stargate SG-1 "Cor-Ai" where Teal'C refuses to escape his trial for former misdeeds he did while in the service of Apophis. I imagine the character (still sketchy at this point, more a concept than anything else) as a half-celestial tiefling warlock who begins as a chaotic neutral character, but is fighting to become a chaotic good creature and defeat his inner devils/demons. I look forward to hearing what you all think... [/QUOTE]
