Try Trekalsh. Of all the people to speak of betrayers. Oddly, this is one of the few times I actually like the character better than the player. Darmok thought to be honorable, elf, and a follower of Vynmylak, so the character had every reason to despise Trekalsh. I was evil, well and good, none of this more "neutral rager with a red flag" as sometimes is done. However, you are talking utterly out of your *ass* about some of this. Trekalsh never betrayed the village, mainly because he was primarily focused on his *OWN* advantage. Yes, the village's well-being was never his primary concern. His own well-being was (Hence, evilness). As to Trekalsh and Darmok's interactions...we hated each other, and so I dealt with that in a ragerly fashion...I beat you upside the head. If you'd taken your beating, fine, but then you whine about my weapons being iron, while yours being only magical attack, so I was exploiting a vuln...I was wearing silver swords. Lots of respect to be given there. Yes, things are less truly barbaric in the village, but there is the history of the rites. You accuse me of being a traitor, and expect that instantly you are right, and I should be booted? You even refused my challenge by strength of arms. Perhaps you might want to think that there can be more going on than only your side.

Now, I apologize if I was a bit harsh, as I don't like to insult needlessly, but to put it bluntly, you made assumptions about things you didn't know the entire story to. Let the character act as he sees things in the situation, and I've no problem, but to bring it here? You're attempting to state things as fact that are utterly incorrect.

With that in mind, I'll temper my words here, not knowing the story here myself, but I'm having a great deal of difficulty understanding the reasoning that a servant of a God committed to destroying evil, Drillmaster of Battle, betrays the cabal, his God, turns evil, and joins the Empire. If it was OOC thinking of being cool to join Empire, that I can *understand*, but if then your character was screwed by An Immortal, then it was utterly deserved. The Gods do not take kindly to betrayal. If it was IC, and reasoned...well, that is where I do not have the whole story, so I will end my tirade.

If you decide to reply, I've no problem continuing this dialogue, though I hope I myself do not sound like I am only attempting to flame you. Your character was respectable, but I think either you or it, which half I saw I am not sure...could have used a little more maturing.
