Hey all, I've been corresponding with falryx regarding my character for the continuation of this campaign. He thought my concept was...I guess the correct word would be "controversial" enough that we should run it by everyone and make sure y'all are ok with it. I think his main concern is how this character may bend the group dynamic.
Before I go in to it, I'd just like to say that I am 100% ok with changing up this concept. I like this character, and I want to play him, but I also don't want to rock the boat as the newcomer to an established group. So please, feel free to express any concerns you may have openly.
I'm going to call him PCX, as I don't have a name for him yet. I'm not going to go too deep into his background, as I think a roleplayed reveal (if y'all approve the concept) would be cooler.
The concept is a force sensitive adolescent who was trained to use the force by a dark jedi. PCX is not evil, and hated his master deeply. In fact he was forced into the apprenticeship, and the dark jedi used his hate to attempt to pull PCX to the dark side. The resulting character is a good person, but a troubled and traumatized adolescent. He will be intrigued and enamored of any light side teachings, but will consider them somewhat weak when applied in confrontations. Mechanically, PCX is a Warrior-Aggressor, but his goal is always to protect himself and those he cares about. His training and events in his past have led him to believe that the best defense is a good offense, and that showing weakness is dangerous.
The themes I'm looking to explore with this concept are: Can the ends justify the means? Can a good person tap the forces of aggression and fear to accomplish their goals and still maintain their morality? On a more human level: this character is, deep down, a lost and scarred teenager. He is desperate to find a home and to belong, even as he is scared to let anyone in close to him.
I think that's about all I can say without risking spoilers. Falryx, feel free to embellish with any additional details or insights you deem relevant.
And again, I am very open to any comments/questions/concerns. Please let me know what y'all think!
