[net.games.frp] Kaliant, an Evil Character

bormanp@stolaf.UUCP (Paul R Borman) (08/21/84)

Okay, so here is my version of an evil character.  I would like to first
say that I DONT play D&D, or AD&D.  I have played a variant in the past
but dislike all the garbage Gygax has to say about "the way it is".  Personally
I think many of his ideas are trash (though I do use the AD&D books for the
magic items, monsters and basis for spells.  The research was good, the
implamentation is what sucks).  Now that no-one will mistake me for a D&D
player I will submit my character sheet.  If there are any questions, or you
want more detail, ask.  I need some excuses to fill this character out so that
I could use a version of her in my world.

History:

Kaliant's Father, Kornath the Disruptor, was an Evil High Priest to the
cult of Drakon.  At the age of 5 she began learning the art thieving.
When she was 7 she started dabling in Magic, at the age of 11 she started
to learn how to fight, and at the age of 13 she became an Acolyte of Drakon.
Kaliant proved to be a quick learner at all these things, gradually bettering
herself in each field.  As of now she is satisfied with her proficiency in
all but her Priestesshood, though she never turns down a chance to learn
more magic.

Kaliant grew up in Knight's Bay, a city of 11,000, ruled by the Cult of Drakon.
She journyed to other cities, but only with the escort of several men at arms.
It was from these men that she learned her first training in the art of combat.
By the time she became an Acolyte, she was a Filcher, a Theurgist and a
Heroine.  At the age of 14 she was Priestess of Drakon.  On her 17th Brithday
she was granted the Title of High Priestess.  She killed her father on that
day, offering him as a sacrifice to Drakon, as she said Drakon had ordered her
to.

Today Kaliant is one of the most powerful Priestesses of Drakon.  She uses
her beauty and charm to seduce men into service, often for only a night.  Any
man or woman who servers her does so until death (very rarely due to old age).
Recently, she and her 7 most loyal followers set off to explore the world,
find better ways to serve Drakon and also gain self-profit.  Kaliant has never
been one to enjoy sitting back and watching life go by, she lives it and risks
all for something which might bring her more personal enjoyment, though she
never risks much for anyone but herself.

Kaliant and her followers form a closely knit group.  Even Westen, the newest
member, has been with them for a year.  Gimrick has been with Kaliant for 22
years and will lay down his life (or anyone else's for that matter) for her.

Despite Kaliant's evil intents, she appears as a cheerful, lusty blond who
loves to have a good time.  When first arriving into a town, she has often
set aside all her weapons, save a dagger, and gone into a tavern and enjoyed
herself, having a few drinks and jokes with the people within.  Gimrick and/or
Althena usually go with her when she does this.

The Cult of Drakon:

Kaliant belongs to the Cult of Drakon.  Drakon is the Lawful Evil Diety in
the Land of Kahl.  There are only 4 (some say 5) Dieties and one God.
The 4 Dieties represent the 4 corners of the alignment plane.  Acutally,
they are not true Dieties, rather they are very powerful beings from a long
dead super race, through heavy magic, they made themselves imortal.  The
one God is neutral and never interacts with the creatures of his universe.
He simply binds the laws of magic and physics, keeping a balance in the
world.

It is known that Drakon demands living sacrifices, preferably Paladins and
Clerics of other Cults.  It is centered in Knight's Bay.

If I have to become an eternal dieter (that's what a Diety is, right?) to hell
with immortality! :-)
