Role

Chapter 4

Sindrai is starting to evolve away from the "aw shucks" farm kid. I thought
it was important to work that persona at first because he heroed so young.
(He was under 30 hours with 51 levels, a/b/s and all his controls mastered.
Thanks, bonuses.) So even though he was a "powerful magician" he was still
wet behind the ears and I wanted that to come across. He really didn't have
any right to be talking tough to more proven heroes. Now that he's
middle-aged, bloodied and an "initiate of the Jaguar" I feel him becoming a
little more sure of himself.

I suspect this to manifest in the way he deals with other characters. I find
more and more he says things like, "I started an ordinary farm kid, now I'm a
powerful force for the Jaguar." Instead of where he started which was, "I'm
not strong or powerful but I'm dedicated," or "I'm not worth much but I'll do
what I can." He's also started to preach more and to try and persuade others
to see things through his filter.

Next time I get a chance to play with Baer I'm going to let some of these
things, along with all his time in the woods and eating scavenged fruit, come
through in his description as well.

Sindrai is also very interested in learning how to be the best Warden he can
be. He wants to make the branch look powerful and vibrant. Once he gets into
the Refuge he'll pour a ton of effort into this via interviews, talks with
others and aggressive PK and raiding. Hopefully Sindrai and I can put the
goody outlanders on the map!
