-What are your character's beliefs and goals, and how do you like to see them addressed in roleplay, either by yourself or by the characters around you?
The people around him:Â Hammer's old. Â He's a cynic. Â He's seen people' faith get kicked in the teeth and their walls of adherance stomped into so much dust.
What he has left with an aggressive, absolute sense of self and absolutely no reason to expect anything from anyone else. Â
But he's going to get into your head anyway just to see how you hold onto YOUR beliefs. Â He's going to see how much space there is for a prybar in your brain and then start pulling the wall apart just to see what happens. Â Maybe he can't help himself. Â Maybe he's never known anything different.
He wants people to prove him wrong. Â He wants people to be more than he expects. Â
He wants you to disappoint him. Â
It's one of the few joys he has left.
-Are they some in-character beliefs/goals that you consider to be essentially correct or just and refuse to see undermined in RP? On the other hand, are there beliefs that you want to see undermined or challenged but haven't done so yet?
Several. Â Hammer's a web of things that have happened mixed with things he wants to make happen.
Neither him not I am one to tip the hand though. Â I've got a loathing of tropes who who reveal life stories at the drop of a hat and Hammer's got a mind like a sealed bank vault.
Most of his conventional "beliefs" are old man has seen some shit things, like hating magic, mages, and most forms of authority or refusing to pull edged steel on someone without accepting he's going to be trying to no holds barred kill you
You could bend or break a lot of his beliefs, and he makes exceptions usually at the cost of getting into someone's social circles (This is often regretted), but getting him to change on a dime isn't going to happen and trying too hard will likely cost you a hand.
I want people to respond. I want people to try and change, try to resist, try to escape the old goat's orbit. I want to see entire planets of RP collide and burn as Hammer orbits and burns with them.
-Do you leave your character's goals open to completion by other people, or do you prefer to resolve them yourself?
Most of Hammer's stuff right now is self contained, purposefully so. A lot of the Hammer-centric plots will be dealt with in Journal writings.
However he's like a barb. Â He's going to get into other people's shit. It's what he does. Â He's going to knock on walls with that prybar of a tongue of his. Â He'll find other goals as he moves and knocks and looks for cracks.
He's going to see what burns and what stands after the blaze.
He can't help it anymore.
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
