I agree, would like to see character development in between the two. Not saying it should take a long time, just some more substance.
Also, I don't think stripping power from an organization like the guild is something to take lightly(As they work similar to a non-profit and have reputable sponsors)
But I definitely support the idea and like what is going on here. I wrote up an interaction I intend to encounter him with in the next couple days to show some love.
[A clerk, excited to get the attention of a councilor despite the circumstance of his mistake. The penmanship shows that of great care and excitement, on his small desk is a figurine of a famous adventurer he adores, carved from wood.. By his hand... ]
An honest mistake councilor! Please accept my -deepest- apologies, the long and lasting hours of my work must have got the best of me! So diligently striking with the paper and quill as it were! Not so different from slaying those nasty beasts like a true adventurer! We are a lot alike you and I, well.. If not for the fancy blood!
Maybe we could go on an adventure sometime! Wouldn't that be fun!? Something grandiose where our names will be carved into the fabrics of history! I hear of a wizard with a residence overrun by the RAT KING and his minions! Never trust rat... Could not be a rat!
Anyways,
You're welcome!

[Dennis continues to look at
the wooden figurine, imagining what could be. A clerk turned to a hero, a dream he often romanticizes]
A pleasant night finds it's way to the slums of Arabel. Where residents participate in revelries a many near the warmth of trash lit aflame.. A pleasure not taken for granted; as crime, pain and all injustices are far too common where the poor man suffers...
In the midst of these festivities a darkness combats an illuminated alleyway, shrouding any and all vision. Singing blades reach the ears alongside cries of death. Many hide where some stay, determined to protect the streets they hold so dear...
The shroud of darkness fades, where many scream in horror.. Enduring the sight of blood that paints the alleyway both high and low. Upon the cobblestone is where men in purple now bleed lifelessly...
A reminding image of what waits for them, a sight that rekindles a rebel's soul.. Many lay claim as to who rooted out those in purple but there is only one to thank alone.. A vision of Rebirth, a vision of what Arabel ought to be..
@voss_ said in Aasimar/Cleric/Chaotic Evil/4/Aizeira Jardan:
The idea is fine, though I hate evil aligned Aasimar unless they are properly RP'd. I'd want to see the character constantly struggling against their nature.
But mostly I'd want to know if they won't just quit this character too.
I agree with voss, these concepts make great opportunities to get deep into a multi-layered character. An internal struggle/serious flaw I think would not only help the app but be far more interesting for Gloomy and others. Not voting as I haven't been active, just my two cents :).
Cadiz has earned something of this level imo but the app could use more detail. Flaws/strengths, triggers, etc
[Crops begin to grow once more, no longer plagued by the curse that swept the lands. Farmers return to their homes, no longer needing to live the life of banditry. Word spreads of the kindness of various adventurers during such hard times and that of the Gold Leaf Mercantile Company. Merchants who care for more than just their pockets!]
Plot ticket:
"So he realises he kinda fucked up with the council/Miel/Ethel thing and hurt the Dukes Image and Tilvertons reputation by getting kicked off, So he'll try and make amends and help with the gem and offer a service from himself personally to a councillor to try and repair bridges a bit
He's still working on the Chalice, Like thats a big project. He's going to host a tournament to celebrate its almost ready to forge, sort of have people compete in displays of strength and push proper fuedal rule under the Black Chalice leads to prosperity and the chalice is a symbol of that
And hiring a bard to promote it
He's going to lead hunts for orcs to push the Duke and faith of Black Chalice being against roving beasts, and push the Zuguk plot, obviously he knows this wont lure him out, But it is good for PR and promotes protecting the serfs of towns so they can work for their lords
Ohh one last thing for the plot ticket, He's been running treasure hunts to try and boost the Dukes image, like saying treasure is good but service to the Misrims could bring more"
I am for it, his loyalty has been tested early in the characters development and he has taken major risks in the interests of obyn/the flock.
I think he is even wanted by the greywatch?
This is a special position, no? Or is considered as such I thought. Personally I don’t think it has been earned quite yet but I did miss the tournament event yesterday. I just love the idea of a defining moment leading to one becoming a knight. Overcoming failures, resilient in moments other men would show desperation/weakness, or in the black chalice case something that tests one’s loyalty to Obyn.
For now I’ll vote no. The character still has a lot of life and story to play out as well :).

Oath of the Silver Chalice
I shall proudly display wealth and luxuries befitting a successful man, a faithful of the chalice.
I shall not lie, for truth is deserved to all, no matter their station
I shall uphold and protect the divine law of our rulers, so long as it remains just with a pure heart.
I shall not yield to the corrupt order of tyranny, forever vigilant against it as she wills it.
I shall not abandon lost descendants of noble bloodlines, so long as they show promise to rule..
