In the Onslaught tales, I am reminded of PC I used to play with in our
group. His name was Jason and to start with he was a true 'paladin' type
Humackti, really honourable etc. As time went on, the character
developed into something not unlike Onslaught. I remember once he
sponsored one of the other PCs into Humackt, the initiation went ok, but
the PC didn't wish to take a Gift+Geas, well not untill Jason threatened
him with a duel if he didn't (I thought this was pretty harsh, but I'd
just become illuminated so my judgement on things was probably a bit skew).
I am begining to wonder if this is a standard development with long
running Humakti Adventurers. They join the cult attracted to the Honour
(Truth Aspect), and as time goes on become so imbued with Death that they
become quite homocidal (Death Aspect).
Humackti who were part of a company wouldn't tend to follow this progression,
probably because they have a sense of belonging, but adventurer types tend to
be constantly mobile, in small groups, so they tend not to develop roots so
feel they have to fill the gap with something else (as can be seen with
the Onslaught tales).
I never did find out what happened to Jason in the end. He and my PC
(Jhirack) had a falling out. I thought his preoccupation with Death was
becoming to much, and he thought I was having to many 'funny' ideas about
things (I'd just been illuminated remember). Shortly after that the
player moved out of the area, and we never saw him again.
Just some ideas
Lots of Love, Stay Hucky [Hucky=Happy+Lucky], Garry.
