I Am A: Chaotic Good Human Ranger (3rd Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-14

Dexterity-12

Constitution-13

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-12

Charisma-13


Alignment:
Chaotic Good A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. However, chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment because it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

A Few Things About Edrick

{although slightly belated, as the initial period of COMPLETE BRAIN CONSUMPTION has faded. somewhat. well, maybe a little.}

So remember a bit back when I was going on about the second edition necromantic crack involving the Goddess of Murder and quite possibly disturbing the living hell out of half of you? Well, it spawned a character. You might've heard me mention him here and there; he's been possessing me for a week or two by now. And I've been assembling this post in bits and pieces for quite some time, just by way of introducing him. Not that I usually write introductions this lengthy for random OCs, but he's insisting. Siiiigh.

Fiendslist, this is Edrick. Edrick, these are my fiends. I'll even throw some music into the mix.

Not that Edrick is his real name, anyway... )

Catlove!

So I woke up this morning to find the sun pouring pleasantly through the window, a d4 in my bed, and a friendly cat demanding butt-scritchies. Life was geeky joy, if a little bumpy to sleep on--for I did wander into the kitchen, hold up the said d4 (one of mine, so I didn't feel whiny), and comment to [livejournal.com profile] heavenscalyx and [livejournal.com profile] akycha that that was what had been poking into me all night. But it was a nice squishy futon, so I still slept like a log.

The campaign was an assload and a half of fun, with endless snacks and a cake to faint for, and my barbarian kicked sufficient ass (major killing blows to TWO MANTICORES, baby!) to justify her character class, and there were people! Delightful geeky people who I have now all commenced stalking on LJ. And we ran out of time considerably before we ran out of dungeon (technically before we even reached dungeon, but there were more than enough monsters on the way there), so I even have an excuse to see them all again for the next round. XD

Also got to roam Newbury Street a little and restock an essential staple I'd been running low on (yes, lube, sue me) and discover that Urban Outfitters is obscenely overpriced and play with the sexuality section of Trident, which is the best evah (outside of an actual sex shop, of course). Was bitterly cold, though--fourteen plus the windchill funneled down the street--and I was wearing a not-wool skirt, a t-shirt, a crocheted jacket, and a thin wool coat, no hat, nothing. So I didn't roam far. Brrr.

Ogled lots of men on the subway. I want one, darnit.

Also got introduced to Final Fantasy VII-X.2, in the form of intro movies and bits of game play involving villains nancing about on the backs of dragons. Goooood crack! And borrowed fansubs of Kizuna and--what I'd been looking for with my pathetically limited resources for aaaaaaages--Ai No Kusabi.

Some of the happier two days of my life as of late. So much goodness and goodpeople. And cats. :}

Related only to the D&D line, Edrick is pestering me to finish the post about him, so that may come later tonight. And I got tagged for a delightful meme by [livejournal.com profile] icarusancalion, but that may be the morning, as I am pleasantly exhausted.

Context, for the bored. )

From the section listing various death-worshipping priesthoods for NPC clerics, I quote (in part):

The Goddess of Murder

This evil deity embraces cold murder as the quintessential act of destruction, symbolic of the primordial chaos and the unpredictable forces of nature that oppose humanity. This deity is the patron of all unnatural and premediated killing, whether it is inflicted on others or upon oneself. She opposes order, creation, and all existence.

The male priests of this goddess, sometimes called Stranglers or Assassins, spread death around the world by murdering for their Dark Mother, the Queen of the Noose, our Maid of Despair. Her priests advance the religion into the heart of civilization, efficiently eliminating any who speak out against them. Assassination is their most sacred mission, a holy and meritorious enterprise undertaken in the service of their deity.


But that's just the background. Past the usual 29382938477 stats and spells, we get to:

All members of the priesthood are male, since the priest and goddess are joined in a symbolic marriage. Although the priests are thus forbidden from marrying mortal women, they are not required to be celibate. Indeed, most cults have temple prostitutes as proxies for the goddess during the seasonal ceremonial rituals and weekly orgies.

Mmmm, weekly orgies.

However, since worship of the opposite sex is a central tenet of their religion, Stranglers are generally forbidden from harming them. The male priest views himself as the son, husband, and father of all the women in the world.

Triple goddess, much?

To harm any of these relationships would damage his intimate link with the goddess, resulting in an immediate loss of all granted powers and highest level spells until the priest has suitably atoned for such an outrage (ritual suicide by strangulation is usually considered to be a suitable apology.) On rare occasions, the goddess may make exceptions to this rule, but only when specific women have offended her.

Mmm, divine bitchfights via submissive assassins. And I'm not even going to go into the satisfying symbolic cross-connections that are occuring between the listed clerical symbol of the noose and, ah, other openings.

But oh dear fucking god. It's everything I love about over-the-top necromancy and everything I love about those death-obsessed submissive men who keep haunting my brain (Bennington people, read: AKHAI!) and everything I love about unexpected goddess-worship ROLLED INTO ONE! I WANT ONE! The mind boggles! The rules systems explode! The DMs headdesk in despair!

And so do I, because I don't have an icon goth enough for this post. Mikage will have to do. And perhaps I should hit Photoshop, except I want to crash early as I'm trying to haul my sleep cycle back from the 4AM to 1PM rut I've been in--maybe back to a nice 1AM to 10AM, which keeps both me and the family much happier. Edit: GIP!

...........and no, I'm not sure I want to know what it says about my personality, Joharized or otherwise, that I am so fucking entertained by this.
