for the 100 warm up questions, pick or random: 8, 28, 32, 84?

I’m going to pick them....just because I had Really good answers for some of these for specific characters Edit from about 2/3 of the way through answering this: Okay it turned into the Raini and Cog show but what the fuck are you gonna do about it. Unfollow me? I HAVE to laugh

8. What location encountered in the campaign has your character felt the most “at home” in, or just generally liked the most? Okay I know this is a weird pull but I said it in game and I do mean it: Raini fucking vibed with that drow city. Please don’t make small talk with me! Our business is transactional and then we’re done! If someone tries to stab you in the back you kill them! That all checks out to me! You power word kill the first guy who tries to pickpocket you and then you’re golden. An Ideal World. But also I am thinking about......the ache of nostalgia you don’t know why you’re feeling when you go into a room you’ve been told is yours, in a state of disarray that makes it look like the owner only just stepped out a minute ago, and trying to the emptiness and simultaneous longing you feel as you run your hand along a comforter you think looks nice but can’t remember picking out....... also to scoop us up out of that angst trench I am thinking about Raini sleeping way better than usual on Ecstasy’s ship with the gentle rocking turbulence the comes with flying....very sweet to me....

Also want to talk briefly about how sad I got thinking about this question for Cog because....like, nowhere? Her hometown: sucks ass. Definitely not home. New Alexandria: pretty okay, but way too urban for Cog to really vibe with it. The Crossroads: holy shit, there’s so much going on. Maybe she would have felt more at home if they hadn’t been in the middle of a coup when the party showed up, but...

28. What is currently motivating your character to stay with the party? Brilliance has the most concrete but boring answer: it’s because she’s a good person and feels Responsible since she convinced the party to go to Hell in the first place. But that’s lame so we’re gonna talk about somebody else too.

I want to talk about Cog. Can I talk about Cog? I want to talk about Cog!! She’s staying with her party a) because she’s a sweetheart and they’re her friends obviously but also she is Completely convinced that they need her. Conversations I as a player have heard between other characters show that they do not see it the same way, but Cog fully believes that they need her as a moral compass. No one should have to say, “Hey, don’t combine Geas and Sending to try and get this person to do what you want from several miles away! You know she won’t listen and you know that’ll kill her” but Apparently someone does have to! And apparently it has to be Cog. idk if the post has worked its way out of my impossibly long queue yet, but there’s a post where I said “Cog is the moral compass and impulse control of several powerful people” and THAT’S why she needs to stay with her party.

32. What is your character the most insecure about? Raini very easy very sad: she feels Super insecure about her decision to take everyone’s memories, and I think it stems from a combination of things. First of all, she’s frustrated with herself for not being smart enough to think of a better solution. There had to have been another option! If she felt like she had to resort to using Wish, why didn’t she just Wish to kill Geryon? Or defeat the thing in the Abyss? There must have been context she doesn’t have now, but not knowing it and thus not being able to understand her own thought process is So frustrating. The other big thing is I think she genuinely cannot imagine being in a position where the rest of the party trusted her to make that unilateral decision, and so she assumes there’s a significant amount of unspoken resentment toward her from the people around her. I don’t know if they did or not! But Raini definitely knows she’s not in that position now, and knows enough at this point about the kind of person she is that she’s convinced herself the same was true before. The reveal came about when we were kinda busy with some shit, the party didn’t have a chance to sit down and talk about how they felt about what happened! They didn’t immediately flip out, which is great, but that doesn’t mean they’re not angry and just sitting on it until they have their memories back. I think Raini wouldn’t care as much if they were mad if she was 100% convinced that she did the right thing, but that ties again into the first point because she’s not sure she did the right thing. So, ehh, it’s rough a little bit maybe.

84. What does your character want to be remembered by? Here’s some deep Raini lore idk if I’ve talked about with anyone other than you, Morgan: pre-wipe (and probably pre a Lot of adventuring) Raini’s ultimate goal was to become a god. A minor deity for sure, but. She wanted to ascend! She wanted to stop being mortal! She’s a high level wizard and an angel and she kicks ass; how hard would it be to take that next step from god-like to demigod? That was the goal she had in mind from level one when she set out adventuring, but....I think it honestly maybe sort of lost it’s luster over time? It’s easy to let those kind of long term goals kinda...fall by the wayside, when you’re busy fighting monsters and adventuring. It’s easy to forget that kind of stuff when you’re happy too busy to have the free time to scheme. Maybe it’s okay to focus on the now, on the people you’re with, on the dumbass jokes they keep telling, on ducking out of the way of the pillows they keep throwing at you.

GONNA talk about Cog again too: She wants to be remembered by the mark she leaves on the world. She wants to be known for having been a force of good in a pretty bleak wasteland, and for having shared the idea that kindness is a discipline, not a character trait. She doesn’t want to be remembered as the vector for some long dead god to return to the world, because that’s not who she is. Not only is that not true, she wants to be known for what she did, not what she was “born” as. Fuck also now I’m thinking about how half the party are elves/half-elves and how vasty they’re going to outlive her, and how Cog would say something about wanting them to carry forward her conviction about the importance of choosing to be kind even when it’s hard, and grieving party members trying to respect her memory and do that while hating how unfair it is that she’s not there to continue spreading it herself.....maybe I am emo at two in the morning......

#thank you morgan for sustaining us with questions #they really keep me going in these trying times #rainivere #cog #answered #celebreultimaverba
