The circumstances behind this character still have me belly laughing, for a number of reasons.
I rolled this paladin in a certain mindset, with a few pre-concieved notions of how this character would go.
1) I had just had a talk with an old friend on how I did not believe any paladin should follow an evil god.
2) After playing Odrirg, I was going to give a go at trying to rp a priest class with a sphere not covered and a made-up god, for a number of reasons.
3) After getting runner-up in a role contest with Odrirg (Damned Alarian! FEH) I had resigned myself to not winning a contest, and just made a role that I thought would be fun.
So what happens with this char?
1) His god turns evil, and tattoo's him...and Ed rationalizes it fairly well in my opinion.
2) I happen to pick a sphere that ends up in Grurk's religion, I was fully expecting a 3-4 week wait for empowerment...when it happened right away it blew my mind....then all the immteraction was just WAY cool.
3) I finally win a role contest!
And all of the above changes to what I was expecting served to make this character all the more fun for me.
So, if I was having all this fun with this paladin, why did I delete?
A few reasons.
1) even before this char, I was having trouble getting into Odrirg's role because it was "heavy", for health reasons I don't want to go into. And this char turned out "heavier" that I expected.
2) The aftermath of hurricane Francis also made it difficult to get back into the "heavy" role.
3) I had an utter and complete inability to close a kill. Heh. Something that made me increasingly frustrated ooc, as killing evil was so pivotal to his role. Early on, I died alot because I had just gotten through playing a dwarf shaman hero with loads of hp, loads of mana, and protective shield.....and you can stay in BAD fights alot longer with that character than you can with a 2-hander paladin with low hp and low mana. Later on, it seemed I died because I just didn't know how to use what I had.
I had alot of friends, and alot of plans, and I apologize to everyone who invested anything into Ed. Especially Grurk. Boy was I surprised when your religion came out. A VERY nice religion, and I think it fills a nich in the Pantheon that needed to be filled. Maybe someday in the future I'll give it another go.
I'll see about buying the pb post as soon as I have the cash.

Going over to Grurk?! Seduced by the dark side... such a shame.
Okay, just kidding. This seemed like another nice character. Hope your next isn't quite so heavy. Oh, and check out my forum when you get a chance. I was hoping to get some info from you.

I really liked you. Thanks for bitch ranking me through the beginning levels. Those are the hardest for a thief. Not like you had really much choice since your selection of traveling partners was pretty much me and a pile of evil. Thanks for choosing me.
