palinecro project

I'm interested in -!

I have a setting called the PaliNecro Project (because I fail at names) which is pretty much a GL adventure story where a paladin and a necromancer get together while on a number of quests. I have two ideas for the character – either a friend of the paladin and a normal questmate who loves teasing her for her gigantic crush on the necromancer or the prince's guard who is currently on a quest looking for the princess and the paladin agrees to help despite the necromancer going “No! Abort!” Because she's the missing princess.

Regardless I plan for her to be a berserker, probably in her mid to late 20s, who's basic MO is “move fast and break shit”. She's got a big voice, a bigger stomach, and a big attitude and ego, but she always wants to do what's right by those she cares about.

In the “prince's guard” scenario, she's likely being manipulated by the big bad to look for the princess, thinking her prince has finally contacted her (spoiler- nope, he's still imprisoned) and when she realizes her mistake she attempts to commit a heroic sacrifice to save his darling little sister... only to get chewed at by both PaliNecro because she's grown on them in the last couple of months and there's no way Necromancer is going to save her brother only to tell him that they got his best friend killed.

“Paladins best friend” version likely would not lay down her life – she'd also be younger, early 20s like Paladin and Necromancer. She'd act a bit like a disapproving mother towards Necromancer until she wows her sometime.... and once proven to be a good match, Berserker proceeds to try and push the two together every chance she gets, going so far as to roping in the Bard to help (who attempts to sabotage the relationship partly because she likes the necromancer bit mostly because she's a double agent for the big bad)

Okay! Plottages

The story focuses on the eponymous duo, how they meet, how they become friends and eventually get together and save the day.

Because it's essentially a D&D campaign so obviously they have to save the day.

They're joined by party members who may or may not rotate out (i haven't decided this yet).

Eliana is attempting to become strong enough to reclaim her homeland, while finding the crown prince to the thrown. Lore just wants to stay alive and revive cool things.

Of course, things aren't that simple... Namely because the land that Eliana wants to reclaim has been taken over by an evil wizard/despot/person who has shrouded the island kingdom in dark mists. She'll need a strong mage with ties to the royal family to go back to her homeland — hence the search for the crown prince. The king and queen are dead, as is their eldest daugther, but one of the royal heirs is locked within their castle while the other is roaming the land unable to get home... Supposedly.

And the obvious thing happens — Lore is actually the crown princess, youngest in line for the throne. Seeing as there's a madman out for her family's blood and her darling older brother ordered her to stay safe and far, far away, she's not feeling so hot about returning, and hesitates to tell Eli about her true lineage, even after they start becoming friends (and then more than friends). Especially since Eliana would be bound to treat her differently because of their status.

But the palidan's fervant passion to return and save the day motivates Lore to do what is right, and not just what she's told.

To further complicate matters, Alena is a rouge/spy hired by the big bad to find the missing princess and to either subvert her or kill her, which is up to her discrestion. Which Al is more than happy to do, especially if that means getting to bag a princess, but eventually things begin to change. Maybe it's seeing the growth between the two, or the true love that convinces her to help them. Or at least die for them. I'm not sure yet.

Her heel face turn is kind of like Raven's since she starts as The Mole

Sarenrae's Flower she’s a bamf stupid lawful good paladin who wants to smite evil and be awesome.

lore

I suppose I'll just raise a few... Lore Silby An arcane spellcaster who specializes in the darkest of arts to try and right wrongs in his past. (Human Female, Wizard, 18, NG) necromancer, has a skeletal bull mastiff as her familiar dark hair, loose plait, round glasees, very basic like These (I’m thinking they’ll have magical writing on them, but not important for art, just a note to myself) kind of cute looking! Slim with a small bust that she angsts over, but it helps to hide. She gets mistaken for a young boy very often.

Weapon of choice are undead minions obviously, but also uses a dagger / Trident dagger / bike dagger?also magic (she is a mage!) really upset by the lack of clothing when i Googled “female necromancer”. lore wears a cloak (or a robe of some kind), traveling pants, shirt/tunic, just basic fantasy ware.

only the dead remain necromancer's lament
