View Full Version : So, I've got this character development idea...

...Yeah. Title.

Basically, in a current thread that I'm in entitled 'Let It Rain', hopefully I will be getting my own temple with a few enchantments.

This temple, basically, will be a shrine to my character, as he grows, he'll eventually gain none offensive control over weather (Building to offensive at much later levels). Once such control is gained, would anyone be willing to make a pilgrimage to the shrine as to leave a small offering for a favoured change in weather? This small offering could of course be much anything, he's a naive child and easily swayed.

Temple information (Provided I get it):

Locaton - Dheathain - Luthmor Forest.

The temple is in tattered ruins and most of it in disrepair, however, the chamber of worship remains intact with a small spring of ever lasting fresh water spouting from the bowels of the planet. The remains are infested with peaceful immortal butterflies and insects which flock to soothe those whom reside within. A great deal of calm enters any user whom is open to recieve such (Resistable by IC/OOC choice) and as long as a player remains within, wounds will heal at a speed of threefold. Combat within is prohibitted.
Vines climb the walls and pillars, showing nature has long since took over where man has failed in the keep of such a place.
Rumours tell of a divine being living within...

I just want to confirm this really, because I'd like to get an idea of numbers of those who'd come to him.

I was thinking more along the following:

Smugglers - Getting contraband in and out of a city is much easier under the cover of a dark storm.

Pirate/Sailers/Journeymen - A strong breeze in the direction of your choice would make that sailing trip all the more safe and rapid.

Farmers - Got a failing crop due to a lack of rain? No problem!

Anyone else? Ideas?

Would YOU be willing to come to a young child, give him a small offering and in return gain favourable weather?

I plan to work this on a 'IC Recruiting thread' where the recruiting thread is the post of a reliable source providing you with information of my character and the shrines location to give it a little more feasibility.

I think this is a really cool idea. There's a lot of ways you could develop the character using it, and changing how he interacts with the world, you know. I think it would be cool if you had him get influenced by the sort of folk who came and made offerings to him and stuff.

But, isn't Dheathain like... way out there? It seems like a long walk from more active side of the map...

How is it supposed to become part of the 'active side' of the map unless you go there though?!

Touché. But I just meant that that Dheathain is mostly jungle right? Is a farmer going to walk miles and miles into the middle of nowhere to get rain for his crops way back the other way? I suppose it would be something you did when there was a drought or something big going on.

You make a good point though. Now I want to start a quest to found a city.

Well, I've got some interest now at least and one quest to help me develop all of this. <3

Anyone think they could throw me some further development ideas on this? I've got alot of planning for other things on my plate right now and little time to spend on my own character.
