He has a number of campaign uses. He can be a pawn, a puppet, a mcguffin, an employer, a compatriot, or just some fool waundering around in the background of the campaign.
He is here to show how a common bland character can be made interesting by good execution.
Alas, he is the most common of the character ideas I have had recently. He is my low score. Go to Comment
For the people who asked. This character is the Benchmark for a THREE FLAME score. It has a good format, good English execution, and a passable idea behind it. Not every character has to be flashy, powerful, or even that intricate. Every character does not need to be exotic or unique. There is a lot to be said for a solid, basic, character. Go to Comment
While he can provide some comic relief, and be an 'employer' of sorts for PCs, this character leaves to be desired for... he's not all too different from the classic "unprepared nobleman/woman in need" Go to Comment
An interesting character, moreso for being a great contrast to the classic "fool-around, good-for-nothing" Pooka...
His personality is realistic (for a fae:) and there are many ways to include him in an adventure.
Good post. Go to Comment
I *Love* it!. Extremely well detailed and the personality overflows the writing. I will certainly add him to my fantasy world, and perhaps eventually to the Urban fantasy that we are talking of making. Go to Comment
Travel into a book or image is a common theme in mythology, folklore, and modern fantasy (Narnia anyone?). Zelazny made it most fashionable. Then Myst made it cool.
Remember it is not the plot that is cliche, it is the execution that determines if it is cliche. The story of Romeo and Juliet had been around for a few centuries in a variety of forms before some guy...Shakespear did it just right. Then someone did Guys and Dolls. There are a couple of others, but you get the idea. Go to Comment
