What you are looking for: I'm looking for an IC newfound faith, or arcane belief that my character will hold..More into a religious belief like Shadow, or arcane apprenticeship into Chaos. However, I was hoping to make my character still focused on the use of close range and heavier weapons, and use whichever new following Alfred will hold to enchant his weapons and skills temporarily in combat. I wanted to leave any type of religious or arcane involvement to that of a GM or Mad like he did with Eithne, giving the event a little more open ended choices and freedom for other players to act in too. However, I want to stray away from more commonly used or aligned with sides of the karma spectrum, being the good, arcane, druidism, use of the Light, etc. Instead, to focus more on a neutral spectrum or deity entirely, or more towards the use of dark arts and such that is normally frowned upon by local populaces, and use it for good with Alfred's moral alignment, or have him shifted more towards a dark side of being. I want this to be completely open ended, and despite Alfred gaining some gear already from recent events, and from a courteous donation from Mad, I feel like my newfound gear is still lacking in proficiency, when paired with a character like Ayu, and the fact that we started at around the same time, and her having trained a few more times than him. To finalize it, a main focus towards one religious or arcane belief in the neutral or chaotic/evil alignment, along with side gear, or spells to increase his ability, and overall a main apprenticeship towards these beliefs, hoping to become a learning student in the arts, and not rely on his 'lord', Ser Hideo.
Event suggestion:
Perhaps Alfred hallucinates seeing a figure or being that was close in his childhood, being his parents, or has a sudden impulse or desire to head in a certain direction, finding the main event area..Which might be an eerie, and dark area that sends chills down some people's spines, sparks suspicion and skepticism in others, or fears, deadly desires, and sins in many more...While Alfred can find a calming, or reassuring 'faith' in the area. I want to leave this area open ended and more towards the GM's or whoever's decision, and I wouldn't want to expect the outcome.
Why is your character trying to do this:
Alfred has been dealing with a personal struggle to find a will to go on, even before the death of the 'Brightlord' Dacius. And now that he's dead, he's slowly felt more and more secluded, unloved, disliked, and generally disapproved of, by even the closest of his friends, being Viridis and Ayu. Despite this, he has tried as often as he could to remain close by Viridis' side in times even outside of combat, trying to spark friendly conversations, teases, jokes...All to only get forced, bleak, and generally what he perceives as careless responses. He's openly spoke about having rather death than the world they now have to live in with Freya, a beastkin he's acquired the friendship of, and has experienced multiple moments where his will was broken, having been what he perceived as ditched twice on a dungeon quest, started by his own friend, Ayu. He feels her caring nature towards him, asking for equipment for him when he needed it, using her own potions to heal and help him, and her quick dismissal of the events...Has made their friendship seem more like a handicap to their progression, a waste of their resources on him, and the fool in a town where his 'friends' are forced to smile when he makes an appearance, out of sorrow and pity.
He's grown hopeless, and desperate, having lost faith in the Light and God, and really...Everything arcane or holy. Everything around him, when he laid limp at the town, where his friends stared at his incapacitated body, having to offer Ayu's healing elixir to regain his ability. Alfred i
s hoping for a being, or someone at all, to help him overcome his horrid and depressed state of mind, someone to confess his terrible thoughts with..Something that could make sadness from an emotional man like him, shift to something useful for his skills, like hatred. I personally have tried to keep my OOC thoughts and life away from my character, but sometimes it's hard, and it inspires you to make something great out of it, that could really make a difference for himself or others around him. And I'm sorry that I'm not the next person in line for a holy and well being arch of progression, despite the 'good' that Alfred has aligned himself with before this, but I hope to be unique.
Extra Information:I want to give a great thank you to Valentia for some suggestions I asked for with this character event, after an outburst I had OOC that I regret, and I want to give a thank you to the living meme sppectre, for inspiring me to make a change in my character's direction and submit this application. Along with that, I want to apologize to those who had to see the way I acted tonight to Octavia over something that made me feel insecure. I'm sorry, and I feel like I bitched a lot to everyone within the past three days. I love you all, and I'm more than happy to be a part of this community.
