Kind of off topic, for the sake of sharing some fun I had.
Today, I started a new game (my first one) of "Pathfinder: Kingmaker". This game looks nice, reminds me of Baldur's Gate a ton--which is absolutely logical, but has a few design choices that I love, like adding some gamebook elements in the gameplay; and it's still a bit buggy--which doesn't make sense. But well, what can you do, right? Still, so far, so good.
but I'll go to the reason why I'm telling you this little piece of a journal now.
I've been thinking about playing with a half-orc for a while. In this kind of fantasy games, I usually go with human wizards, rogues or rangers; but this time, I wanted to try something different. Turns out,
the background of half-orcs is way, way more interesting that what I was expecting, and really appeals to my tastes. I wonder why not more people try to roleplaying with one of them: so much potencial for a good story. Also, they're pretty versatile and badass, and sturdy: they really die hard.
The more I was tinkering with the clases and abilities, the more an idea started to form in my mind: I was going to play with Jason as an half-orc in my first game. Or, well, a quarter-orc, but I can't put that in the game. He goes by the name of Hood, it's a Deliverer (first class) Eldritch Scoundrel (second class; I wasn't sure about this one but I ended choosing it because I liked the set of skills) who worships
Desna, because Deliverer is a religious kind of hitman (I choose this one because its freedom and luck aspect, alongside alignment. But
Sarenrae was probably more fitting, I guess). He's chaotic good, but sometimes I choose chaotic neutral answers if they feel suitable.
Not the most accurate, I guess; but it will be fun to play.
Have you ever created a PJ in any game who's been inspired or modelled after Jason? If you play any RPG-like game, I mean. I wonder. I do this sometimes, with Jason or any other of the characters that I love, if I don't have a clear idea for my character background and the game doesn't give me any other that catchs my interest well enough.
