I'm not sure - I'd like to make sure I fit in with the rest of the group, but I was thinking about either a gish, a thrallherd, or an assassin/killer gnome type.
Some axioms/philosophies that need testing:
"I think, therefore I am,"
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely,"
"Beauty is tuth, truth, beauty"
Possibly working to define the natural state of man through subjugation/domination and the struggle to survive....? <scratches head>.
For example: Perhaps my character believes that the true nature of a man can only be seen through his actions, in times of plenty, times of scarcity, and times of woe.
As a telepath/thrallherd I would use my minions to create situations where individuals would need to make hard decisions to survive, or give others opportunities to make sacrifices for the greater good. Of course, for the experiment to be completed, people from all aspects of alignment would need to be tested.
Alternatively, perhaps the gish is interested in testing primarily his OWN nature....?
Or the killer gnome gathers secrets to him to use as bargaining chips in order to test the true selves of others...?
Mmm. I like the idea of the thrallherd a lot...and I should be able to enter by 6th....of course, I've never played one before, so I don't know how useful they would be in a game...what do you guys think?
