I woke up, and my Inspired is through the roof. I must write! I must write! D___ organization, I can always rewrite them when StoryNexus’s actually out!
[quote]What are you, exactly?
A malnourished and gloomy goblin darts by. When it (he? she?) set its eyes on you, it gawks in surprise. Very loudly. But why? Do you have an idea?
[This will allow you to choose your race. Choose carefully - your race determines many other’s reaction to you, and also your initial stats. You can decide on your history, origins and personality later; these can quite possibly stray from the stereotypes of your race.]
Because you’re a high and mighty high elf!
High and mighty indeed! Well, magically mighty. Elegant and refined, even though you sleep in treehouses and clothe yourself with leaves. Natural enemy of most undesirables too, which explain the gawking. [You will be proficient in most magic (except Necromancy) and well-respected by other race. On the other hand, you are fragile and disliked by the denizens.]
Because you’re refreshingly sane and normal
You speak normally without weird verbal tics. You can do everything just fine and not excel at it by defying all logic and expectations. You aren’t prejudiced or inclined to hug everything. A moon elf. [You will be a jack of all trades and a blank state socially. You will defined by your actions alone.]
Because you’re a fellow goblin!
Well, it is always nice to see a fellow friend here trying to survive. Let’s hope both of you won’t be slaughtered by these high and mighty elves. At least, you are quite capable of taking care of yourself… [You will be particularly proficient in Stealth. More importantly, you will be welcomed by the denizens and hated by the high elves. Note that quite obviously, your Epic and motive cannot be related to the extermination of the denizens, or your kin.]
Because that’s demon blood in your veins
People aren’t really that scared of gremlins. Like you. Quite friendly and inventive. Of course, your infernal heritage does stir up either awe or hate quite often. [You will be particularly well-versed in Lore and Engineering, and are forbidden from dabbling in Shamanism. Socially, you are shunned by the Church but welcomed by the Infernals.]
Because you are a big, scary beast!
So fearsome. So overly protective. These claws and possibly tooth. And so d___ hard to kill. It will take more than ten spears in your stomach to stop you. [You will be particularly good at Intimidation and beating people up, but are quite stunted in all magic. Furthermore, beastmen are generally disinclined toward being destructive, and motives such as world domination or destruction is quite barred from you.]
Because… is it drooling at you?
Oh god. You didn’t notice it earlier, but the townspeople was drooling at you. Elves gawk at your unobstructive ears. Beast and beastmen alike wag their tails at you. You don’t belong in this world. Why are you here? On dear god. Let’s hope you don’t get slayed for being an abomination. [Being a human here is exceptionally dangerous. Socially, you are beloved by all to the point of obsession. You are completely unversed in Lore, and you will have to rely on other’s help to succeed - whether they are denizens or adventurers or townspeople.][/quote]
Let’s tuck this one away for the future use. Now to write the rest and plan…
