Re: OT:If you were transported into a fantasy world, what kind of character would you be?
I would most likely be a necromancer (original, I know). Not to have a mindless horde with with to crush my hated foes (though that may come in time) but to experiment with, refine, and perfect various undad forms, finding a suitable vessel with wich to trancend the mortal coil of my birth and finally be free of the meddling clutches of the so-called "gods".
I would share my trancendant nature (and those of the refined forms that were not chosen) with those I find worthy of eternity and those of boundless ambition, some at their behest while others would be denied the choice. This I would do to shape the world. To see mortal reject (or in some rare cases accept) immortal, immortal enslave mortal, and gods atempt to smite both for their wickedness. I would watch as the world bathed itself in blood and dust, stepping in only to cull the extremists of either side. Then, when the blood had dried and the dust had settled, when the wars of dominance and ignorance had ended, with niether side the clear victor, the mortal races would be left with a choice that had not previously existed. From that day forward they will be able to determine the result of their own mortality. They will no longer be limited to salvation and damnation, but instead may remain in the world of their birth. The followers of the gods would be comprised of only those who truly seek an existance in the next world, to serve a being that they see as greater than themselves. The gods would have to earn their worshipers, for mortals would never again have to truly fear what comes after.
Such would be my vision. Such would be my goal.
