View Full Version : Looking for a long term nemesis.

So I have quite a few plans for my little undead, especially now that I get to tie her in with all the fun things happening in the featured quest. Now, although Lodekai isn't strictly an evil character she is the creation of a necromancer and will be serving Xem'zûnd's for all of chapter two, and most of three. I do plan to free her eventually but not for a good long while.

Now, what I'm looking for is a long term, multi-quest partner. I do have several restrictions. First, I am looking for a paladin type. You HAVE to be deeply opposed to everything necromancers stand for and try to kill them, and undeads, consistently. I want to do several versus quest threads. With Lodekai fighting on the side of the undeads and the holy hero fighting with the elves. This isn't a strictly one vs one battle but more of a dual perspective thing, one good guy hero's story going on at the same time as one bad guy's story. Things like Lodekai leading a siege against a city and the hero defending it. Lodekai trying to defend a bridge, hero trying to destroy it. Lodekai escorting demonic minions, the holy hero trying to eradicate them. That kind of thing. And note, I don't mind the good guy winning most of the time. This isn't about my character getting to kick paladin ass.

This holy hero type will also eventually get the honor of killing Calvin Belverouge (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=12469) and inadvertently freeing Lodekai. Also, several other things specific to the history for her I'm building will require this same holy hero person making her life hell. If no one's interested I will make either a second account of my own or just make this hero an NPC, but I'd rather have involvement of a second imagination to help improve these ideas and stretch me beyond my own little writing corner.

Second restriction. I would like someone with the means to kill a necromancer. Calvin's is powerful enough to create something like Lodekai and is wily and experienced. A level zero hired sword would have to do some really fancy foot work to be able to believably kill him. So higher levels or anti-undead powers would be nice. Or even if you plan on taking your character that way in the future is fine.

Third restriction. Active posting. Please, please post. I would hate to have my entire character growth storyline stunted by inactivity. =/ Take a minute to make sure you're going to be around and posting consistently for months before you decide you want to try this. This is a long haul storyline I'm wanting to do.

As an afterthought, considering the lack of true hero types on Althanas, I'll accept an evil paladin type, providing they are more evil than Lodekai and even though they fight for the "Good" side they are still a noticeably different shade of evil than Lodekai.

If you don't get any bites, I'll be making a true hero type soon based on a loyal Raiaeran Captain who already fought a few times against Xem'Zund's forces.

Well even if someone else is the nemesis I'll still be open for Reiaerean battles against any loyalists. Doesn't look like there are too many PC characters on the Necromancer's side

If you'll have him, Ingwe might be interested in this role. Although not quite a paladin per se, he is a general good-guy hero character with a ethical and moral antipathy for the undead. I'm also planning to give him a few anti-undead traits as he levels up, in line with the "holy phoenix" motif.

That said, he is only a level 0, so he probably falls afoul of the second restriction. I'm also hoping to get him involved in one or two of the storyline quests, and with the non-liquid time for the FQ, I don't know how that will work out with your plans...

In any case, I'm interested ^^.

Edit: Zaz'thatal against Hayate, even?

Well I got to thinking it might be a bit much to ask a single person to do that many threads so I might get people to do individual objective based featured quests (Defending cities, attacking undead patrols, that sort of thing) So I'd certainly like to do at least one quest with the undead rook warrior vs the holy phoenix knight.

I'm not a candidate, but I wanted to post to let you know this sounds awesome. So good luck and enjoy!

For FQ-related stuff, I'd have to wait until Chapter 2 but even if you don't pick me we could do a scene of some sort in the war.

By me I mean the true good character I'll make.

Hi, I'm just an (ex) knight of salvar, I would have to say that I would love someone to go the long haul with. So if you would have my too good for my own good self, i would be honored

Hmm, might not be bad. Take a look at the current FQ and see if you can get some general ideas what you'd like to do when the second chapter starts up and throw me a PM.
