Ikselam/BrainStorm/GentleOsprey


Maybe he had a Lunar mate before Exalting, and she was his first "kill" as a BF member, and it's her sword? --dissolvegirl

By all means, butt in more. Part of the reason I'm putting this here, instead of as a text file on my hard disk, is that I wouldn't mind others (esp. those involved in the game) helping me out. ^_^\\ _Ikselam

Glad you don't mind. And who knows, maybe his Lunar mate could have given him the sword to kill her with? Part of her total pride at seeing him in his drastically bettered state? I dunno. I always saw Lunar/Barbarian relationships as kind of Kingon-ish, with blood and domination and all that. I also just woke up. --dissolvegirl

The sword and how he got it actually is a huge factor in his angst, but I am being purposefully mysteeeeerious about it here because I think it will be cooler if everyone (willows excepted doesn't have to pretend to know his Horrible Dark Secret right off the bat. But even though I'm going to be an information black hole when it comes to that, my idea is not set in stone. Suggestions are still welcome... even if they are just shots in the dark. ^_^\\ _Ikselam

This guy kind of reminds me of Oteitani all of a sudden. Not in a bad way; Oteitani is probably my favorite PotW character. --dissolvegirl

Attempting to assign stats to this guy is only validating my impression that Sidereal pre-assigned dot packages are the devil. \\ _Ikselam

Hm... what if this guy's angst comes from his memories? Let's see... way back in the first age, he loved a Lunar who was treated poorly be her spouse. What if the Solar Anathema he killed wasn't actually killed, he just fought him off and hurt him badly and took his sword, and what makes the guys angst is that the reborn Lunar he was beginning to fall in love with all over again ran away with said embodies-the-worst-in-Solars-Solar, thanks to the force of her own memories, not to mention the Eternal Vow she took to the guy, way back, before he was bad. -Seraph

This was such a pain in my ass to stat out. Anyone who can suggest alterations to his stats, or the precise nature of his sword's powers, is encouraged to do so.\\ _Ikselam


You know what I was thinking when I read the story of his name quest? It would have been interesting if he came back thinking he was the Osprey, but it turns out he was the fish. --dissolvegirl


That was certainly not my intent, but it is an interesting thought to keep in mind. It may even turn out to be the truth, since I'm being Vaguey McVagueVague about the whole thing. _Ikselam
