FauxFoa
Loyal Servant of Altera
I was thinking of making an alternate character that would be the opposite of my current one. (My current being a strong battle friendly Caparii.)
I'm shooting for a character that has a very gifted intelligence, but also has a crippling mental state that makes life much harder.
A character with dissociative personality disorder may be interesting to play, so I thought up some rules and personalities to play with.
How to determine which personality is dominate...
Roll a d20; 1 to 9 is personality one, 12-20 is personality two, 10-11 his personalities fight for dominance; roll again [RP he falls into a seizure].
Roll when...
The character gets spoken to after being alone for 3-6 hours.
The character takes mind altering substances (Alcohol included.)
The character is under great stress.
When none of the above is applicable, I roll once per day.
Personality One;
Good personality traits: Very compassionate to all races. Loves to learn new things.
Bad personality traits: Untidy, tends to leave clutter around the house. Unfocused.
Common mood: Relaxed.
Sense of humor: Takes nothing serious, enjoys riddles and witty jokes.
Character’s greatest joy in life: Learning the natural sciences.
Character’s greatest fear: Being trapped.
Priorities: Has no real priorities.
Life philosophy: “Go with the flow.”
Greatest strength: His mind.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Cannot fight, simply can’t hold a sword correctly. Suffers from extreme headaches.
Personality Two;
Good personality traits: Extremely intelligent, picks up on new things very fast, enjoys learning above all else. His home/work space is very clean and in order at all times.
Bad personality traits: Dislikes most others, hates crowded areas. Typically avoids unnecessary contact with anybody he doesn't feel he can learn from.
Common mood: Focused.
Sense of humor: Takes everything seriously, does not have room for humor.
Character’s greatest joy in life: Brewing potions and learning.
Character’s greatest fear: Being trapped.
Priorities: Gain as much knowledge as he possibly can.
Life philosophy: Knowledge is power.
Greatest strength: His mind.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Cannot fight, simply can’t hold a sword correctly. Suffers from extreme headaches.
Both personalities are similar in regards to the love of learning, but both are vastly different in how they interact with others. I'm not sure if this character would be easy to RP with, or if the changing of personalities is different enough that others would pick up on it in RP. Thoughts?
