I think it would be interesting to see how their relationship would develop. They have very different upbringings, and they both have dealt with their hardships in different ways. While Fiona might chastise Finch's way of life, so they would butt heads often, but she might also have sympathy with him and bond over their mutual losses to the Dominion.

@Spoopy Scary

When you get the opportunity, of course, @Luminosity, this is what I was referring to. Take your time!

@Luminosity, did you happen to see the post where I was entertaining whatever interactions that might come between the characters? I'm interested in seeing what you have to say about it (good or ill).

That goes the same for anyone else. Wall Street CEO and the beggar, the orc, Faruq, etc. I think there's a lot of interesting potential, and I like the variety we have here.

Although, I do wonder how exactly an assassin who was careful enough to eliminate witnesses ended up caught in the first place; perhaps if the assassin got away with it, it would help with colouring Parasius’ mentality in both the ruthless effectiveness of assassins and that nobody is untouchable, as well as justice being a thing that is rarely served.

Something to consider, even though his parents died, would Parasius not be able to claim their inheritance and personal effects? I would find it rather hard to believe that his father, a soldier, would not accept that he may die in battle and leave his son behind, so he’d probably have something in place to support him. As well, if his father was a hero, would somebody not want to do even meager things to help Parasius out? Just something to consider.

I like these points that you made, and I'll admit that I didn't have a lot of time to think every detail through due to a tight time schedule. The assassin getting away is a good touch. I initially decided against that otherwise it would seem like a typical revenge arc against a singular individual. Instead, despite justice having actually been made in the assassin's capture and execution (which I'd say very likely happened after a loud struggle catching unwanted attention, then making a hasty failed escape), Pharasius directs his anger at the entire Dominion, which is many times more insurmountable and would be interesting to see someone attempt at reviving the Brotherhood for it to only be used as a weapon against it. Unless, we could paint the assassin as a faceless tool of the Dominion. Then the points you made in nobody being untouchable, assassination, and justice could be overlayed on that as well. That actually sounds very good.

For some reason inheritance did not come to mind when I had made the sheet. For convenience sake, we could say that all belongings were left in the Imperial City, and Pharasius witnessed first hand the apathy of the real world when no one would take him back home? Traversing war-torn land just to return a child home may not be in everyone's interest - especially in a place such as Daggerfall.

And no worries. I'll share any ideas I have with you guys, I'm not in it to win it. :)

...

You wouldn't.

Oh, he stole The Lusty Argonian Maid? Your bio said something else entirely.

@Dervish

I said bad literature, don't you dare insult that masterpiece.

Totally being accused of murder isn't a big deal.

@idlehands

Finch just stole bad literature and they can't even prove it. :^)

@DervishMoved it back to marksman, then.

Also thanks for reminding me my love for Majora's Mask.

The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

Better organized my sheet, tidied up the grammar, replaced marksman low proficiency with speech, added a paragraph to personality (as well as tidying up that section a bit).

I have actually been meaning to make edits to the character to fill in some missing information, but RPG has been shitting in my mouth all week.

I feel that Jex and Maulakanth should not be in the same room for more than two seconds.

The similarities are a bit numerous, yeah, though the warrior/rogue split between them drives them different ways. I don't blame you for not reading all the sheets beforehand, there's so many of them, haha. I still haven't given them all good reads.

I'm not bothered, though, no. I happen to know that Fiona interacting with thiefy types is pretty fun :)

@Spoopy Scary I am loving Finch. The total lack of combat prowess is going to be very interesting to see in action. May I ask what steered you away from hand-to-hand as a means for self-defense? I don't ask as a critique, actually, I debated on going with a follower of Mara who preferred other means than killing. No matter the reason, I do find Finch an interesting sort and hope to see more!

@Lo Pellegrino

Thank you so much!

I was debating whether or not he would have anything to defend himself with in the first place, like maybe have Speech as one of his somewhat proficient skills, but decided that his charisma as a beggar wouldn't be so great, and his pessimism might keep him from being a strong orator. It also wouldn't be beyond him to slip a small crossbow so that, when he could, down a couple of wild animals should he have to eat. But back to the original point, no, he's not a fighter. Hand to hand can come in two forms, strength to overpower, which Finch doesn't have the build for, or dexterity, which would require some form of specialized martial training which Finch wouldn't have had access to. Even if he had, it's more ingrained in his personality to avoid fights, having been a kid sheltered in the Imperial City and being rather shy and soft-spoken back then. Even after, as a defenseless street urchin, the key to surviving is pretty much avoiding trouble.
