[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7545158, member: 79141"] [b]Questionnaire Redux - Korrigan[/b] I can highly recommend it - for all the reasons I gave back in post 323! I thought it might. Now, Korrigan's response: [B]Briefly describe your character's personality (as you see it) emphasizing any changes or developments since the start of the campaign (and/or the reboot).[/B] I guess the core personality is well familiar to everybody, so I'll skip to the development part. I think Korrigan has undergone a huge personal journey which may not be so outwardly apparent. Having started out as a vet somewhat struggling to adapt to civilian life, torn between his family and the dedication to RHC, and often frustrated by his own limitations when dealing with complex situations and threats, he has grown in confidence, conviction and vision. Now he is a man who knows where he stands and what he has to do. Rather than feeling overwhelmed after being named the new king Korrigan feels he is in the right place at the right time. No longer merely trying to thwart Ob operations as an officer of RHC, Korrigan is preparing to offer an ideological alternative. [B]Role within the unit. What's your specialty?[/B] Do we still call it a unit? We are not even part of RHC anymore. It's more like an alliance. Alliance of powerful individuals with their own goals and agendas but united by a common goal (and I hope even more importantly ties of friendship and respect). And Korrigan is there to hold everything together and make sure our efforts are focused and achieve the best results. [B]Outline your relationship with other unit members.[/B] I love you all ^.^ I think the relationship with the original members of the team has not changed much with the exception that they have all become more independent. In the beginning Korrigan was a sort of mentor figure for everyone (except Malthusius maybe), but now everyone has grown as much if not more than himself and do not need his mentoring. Now Korrigan is just proud of how much everyone have been able to achieve individually and as a team. Perhaps he still feels more responsible for the newer members though. Gupta – in the very beginning Korrigan was sceptical of her abilities and lack of experience, but quickly realised that despite her youth she often demonstrated exceptional insight. This and her ability to empathise with people of very different origins and walks of life has earned his respect. He can also relate keenly to her search of identity and meaning, which has compelled him to try and keep her close, involve her in different things and quite openly share his thoughts with her.

Quratulain – ever since giving her a promise that he will not betray her and leave her in the vault, Korrigan has felt responsible and protective towards her. He was very moved by her tragic story and really wishes he could somehow give her another chance to have a normal life. He also really appreciates how dedicated she is to protecting Kai, it does help him sleep better at night. [B]What is your biggest achievement to date?[/B] Still having a team :D [B] What event in the campaign has had the most impact on your character?[/B] First learning the masterplan of the Ob at the convocation and then learning the backstory of Nicodemus and Kasvarina through the flashbacks.

Hands down the best villain ever. For all the times he makes us question our own motives and ideals. And for the human and sympathetic background. And for still being a step ahead and out of reach despite us spending so much time and effort pursuing him and foiling his plans (even though I more and more often feel our party has become OP, somehow Nic still remains a challenge that makes me feel powerless). Lya Jerre is another of my favourite adversaries. Failing to prevent her death is perhaps one of my biggest regrets in this game. Yeah, I know she's still around as a ghost, but still...

That said, there are two beings that are perhaps outside the scope of any moral considerations - Sijhen and The Voice of Rot. Both are wholly inhuman and hostile, threats to be eliminated by any means available. [B] What are your character's primary goals and priorities from this point on? [/B] Cleaning up the mess the Ob have created and putting an end to their conspiracy (hopefully avoiding as many casualties as possible). Ensuring gidim is not a threat anymore one way or another. Finding out what on earth (or wherever he may be) The Voice of Rot is up to and sending him after Granny Allswell. Enacting reforms in Risur. More personally – raising Kai, finishing Korrigan's philosophy writings. And a long list of other things o.o' [/QUOTE]
