[quote=@OwO] I'm sort of thinking of a wunderkind/prodigy archer who was sort of the hope of the generation--a little bit older than the rest of the Kaidelings. Sort of a free-spirited big sister who built up a massive ego and maybe bullied her way through her time at the academy (which might be part of the reason why all of the others got bullied!). Only moments before her graduation (or maybe she graduated, depending on the timing), she was either victim of an assassination attempt or otherwise failed resulting in her vision being absolutely destroyed. This broke her and she basically ran from home to waste away, only to return at the very end in a moment of love for her family. The main kicker is that she'd come back a bit after the assassination attempt--her ability to shoot her bow and arrow would still be ruined and she has to work around that. [/quote] The only thing I'd be a little wary about is remaining blind even after going back to the past, simply because I wouldn't want you to end up feeling too limited. While there are alchemic healing potions in the setting, and possibly some other methods (I'm debating with myself as to whether or not to include some things), depending on the specifics of how she was blinded it might not be enough. Sensation Type Aura would allow her to regain a lot of functionality, but unless her opponents are also always channeling Aura through their weapons, she wouldn't be able sense something like a sword being swung at her---the Aura sense only works on living things. I like the idea as a whole, though, especially the take on her being one of the older members of the generation and having an influence on how others treated the ones who came after her! [quote=@Silver Carrot] My idea is outright cruel rapier-using Villainess who was actually stripped of everything and arrested a few months before the country got invaded. The Demons let all the prisoners out to cause more chaos but she refused to join them and was publically executed for it. She might have been responsible for some of the bad things that happened to other characters. [/quote] The only thing I'd tweak is that the Demons wouldn't have extended an olive branch to her---at best, she might've wound up enslaved or being used as a meat shield, but more likely than not they would kill most humans on sight. Especially if said human seems to be a threat in some way. Otherwise, though, she sounds like a nice lady! XD [quote=@SilverPaw] So, as people whose characters may or may not have faced an assassination attempt: Any desire to play as siblings? I've got a fairly set idea of how the mother's like tho, so that might be a detractor. Just asking for the potential dynamic of my character having innate/repressed aptitude for an assassin having a sibling who suffered to someone like that. Well, even if not full blooded siblings, I'm seeing some good potential dynamics there :p [/quote] So far we have 15 people, I think, so considering how big families were in medieval times, I'm thinking the House Patriarch would have 4 partners---3 "legal" wives and 1 concubine/mistress, maybe? Other folks feel free to chime in on that if you'd like. As for the "We Got Assassinated" Club, I like the idea! If any of you have ideas already for who did it and why, or need some kind of info, let me know!
