I've mentioned a few of these in the previous thread, particularly the wealthy pirate of leisure with a pyromaniac streak and the posessed weapon that fantasias to represent each new wielder. These didn't work for me because of expense; I want the character to look the part and have the appropriate props in game to complete my plan.Â
The more recent idea I have that I want to play, but fear I could not execute to my own satisfaction is a retired strategist character. Yes, yes you know the one. I am a big fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Chinese military fiction seems to be filled to choking with talented scholars of dubious morality who basically duel each other using their lords and holdings as pawns. Likewise in Suikoden, I was very fond of the Silverburg family and their various students. I would love to play such a character. However, there is the problem of scale. We don't have open war in the setting at the moment, and being a strategist holds little worth. In addition, just sort of being able to dig through a person's records, know all the rumors, or just plain intuit what kind of person they are through deduction can be seen as metagaming even if your character clearly demonstrates how they did it. I also would play them disgruntled and lame (In the literal sense only I hope...) and that may put off people. Ultimately it would require a lot of planning and cooperation to make big, large scale schemes for a war that's not happening yet and I just am not sure it's worth it.
