Gabiluzbad
[godkillers] character concept brainstorming


Gabiluzbad
Take two, since I think I can do better than the first concept

Gabiluzbad
This guy was a loyal servant of one of the gods

Gabiluzbad
Like he was ALL in

Gabiluzbad
A zealot

Gabiluzbad
And also a general

Gabiluzbad
His god was facing an uprising from their worshipers

Gabiluzbad
And losing

Gabiluzbad
So he kept on getting ordered to use crueler and crueler tactics

Gabiluzbad
And he kind of had to take all his feelings and put them right here

Gabiluzbad
And then one day, hopefully before he had to face them, he’d DIE

Gabiluzbad
Anyway the final battle that defeated the rebels was based around a space colony that had been identified as the rebel hq

Gabiluzbad
In which the god’s orders were “remove them by any means necessary”

Gabiluzbad
And my guy decided to take the scorched earth approach

Gabiluzbad
And dump the entire colony into a gas giant

Gabiluzbad
It worked, but in the rebel’s last stand they were able to kill the enemy commander, at least

Gabiluzbad
With that loss, the rebellion’s morale was shattered, their leadership annihilated, and the god was satisfied

Gabiluzbad
Sure it cost them like thirty thousand people and an expensive space colony, but order had been restored and in time the losses could be restored

Gabiluzbad
The god's priests spoke out, saying that the general went too far but that now at least peace was restored

Gabiluzbad
The general woke up in a landfill for dead mechs

Gabiluzbad
He had really thought he was dead

Gabiluzbad
But now he was alive and guess what all those FEELINGS he had been hiding weren't going to hide anymore

Gabiluzbad
Now he has to grapple with a few facts:

Gabiluzbad
- The god used him as a scapegoat the MINUTE it was convenient

Gabiluzbad
- He was NOT in paradise of the afterlife, as promised

Gabiluzbad
- He was now a mass murderer and one of the most hated people in the system

moontouched
oh this is JUICY

Echo
Oh shiiiiiit.

Gabiluzbad
Let me know if any of that does not vibe with your lore

Gabiluzbad
Still going ATLAS, I think

Gabiluzbad
He used to be in something more flashy but now he's less comfortable being in the spotlight

moontouched
this fits extremely well

Gabiluzbad
Main inspiration: Char in SRW30

Gabiluzbad
He just tried to destroy the Earth with a colony drop and everyone hates him

Gabiluzbad
And he's just like "I deserve this."

Gabiluzbad
"But also I don't want humanity to get wiped out by aliens"

Gabiluzbad
"So I guess I'll just suck up everyone spitting on me as long as they let me fight on their side too"

Gabiluzbad
anyway

Gabiluzbad
grimdork I'm BASICALLY playing Yang Wei

Gabiluzbad
someone in that general vein, at least

Rogal Dorn
I love this

Rogal Dorn
do we know who's in the game yet? I'm still working on my historian idea but I'm stealing strongly from this

Gabiluzbad
We do not

Rogal Dorn
Kasper Ansbach Hawser - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Rogal Dorn
SPACE NERD

Gabiluzbad
Ruka was talking about running two different campaigns with two groups of people in the same system

Gabiluzbad
On alternate weeks

Gabiluzbad
becaues there was way more interest than they expected

Gabiluzbad
I'm not sure if they're going through with that

Rogal Dorn
that's cool, I look forward to the stories of both groups

Rogal Dorn
but yeah my guy is just someone who has been doing research on all the previous collapses.

Rogal Dorn
since we're now in Thirdcomm lol

Rogal Dorn
and just has 0 time for these would-be gods and their nonsense

Rogal Dorn
"I"VE WRITTEN ENTIRE BOOKS ABOUT HOW YOU ALL FAIL."

Rogal Dorn
he thinks, but he's actually so mentally wiped when he wakes up in the dead mech zone that he's got minimal memories

Gabiluzbad
He can tell you about the economic pressure between SecComm and the Karrakin Trade Baronies and how they influenced the rise of ThirdComm

Gabiluzbad
He cannot tell you how many siblings he has

Rogal Dorn
exactly

Gabiluzbad
that's rough buddy

moontouched
yeah i think i'm going to go for two separate parties, everyone has very interesting character concepts and also it allows me to juggle timezones a bit better

Rogal Dorn
haha

Rogal Dorn
we should hear about what the other party is doing for extra laughs

Rogal Dorn
or whoever's in them

moontouched
i cannot distribute them yet since i have job to adjust to and some of the people who want to be in this campaign need to finish other campaigns first

Rogal Dorn
no rush. I have to say it's an exciting concept and I am always like L A N C E E R

Rogal Dorn
... maybe too many Es

Echo
The correct amount of Es is whatever you feel in your heart.

Rogal Dorn
Lanceeeeet
