Not sure if this is the right spot, but if it's not feel free to move it.
I've been thinking up all kinds of new characters, that are fun to play an all, but they seem to be getting stale pretty quickly.
I have been thinking of makeing a priest of Myrkul, but as I was doing research on the deity and his followers, it leads me to belive they are more on the evil side then anything. Now, while I have no problem playing evil chars, its just not a sound thing to do because most of the player base (which is very small) would end up hateing him, fairly early.
So, I read on, and I poured through my old tomes and found something that really tickles my fancy.
Jergal is, in short the scribe of the doomed, his worshipers help record the information on those who die. Jergals followers, realise that the world is on its death bed and that with each death, the world slips closer to oblivion, and thus make it their goal to ensure those who die, stay that way. The majority of his followers are sombre, and with out humor, after all they are literally keeping records of each and every person who contribues to the end of all things.
They do, however have another goal. The sect know as the Companions of the Pallid Doom (Or skull cant remember), are a group of people that specialise in combating, OR controlling un-sanctified undead (Basically those who have come back alive with out permission).
I have been toying around with character creaton, and I think i have found the combination that would make for great role-play as a Priest of Jergal.
My question is, since the priests of Jergal are partially responsable for the burying and santification of the dead, would it be possible to set up an event in which a group of Jergal scrivners and priests conduct a funeral for those who have died or are going to die from the plague that is destroying baldurs gate?.
It would be very very macabre, and a very sombre occasion, so any one who could help drive him an atmosphere of death and decay would do well. I think this would be a great way to draw people in for some great RP, and it would help develope emotional IC attachments to the city and its people.
Yay? Nay? Thoughts? Ideas?
