Chime<br/><br/>I'm working on a character concept with Muse, something a little twisted, so maybe I should ask before I get too far into it. I'll gve the overall concept here.<br/><br/>Johdeirleng (pronounced joe dearling) is an Aeil who could channel. In the past, such men were sent out to fight Sight Blinder in t because they would eventually go mad and kill those around them.<br/><br/>But, what happens to such men after the source is cleaned and the dark-one banished forever? There isn't a place for them in the clans... they can't be wise-ones and clan chiefs are slow to die with the loss of so much fighting... so what do you do with a man who can embrace the power? He must be trained, for his own good, or he risks the same dangers as an untained woman channeler... Send them to the Black Tower?<br/><br/>It doesn't seem that far fetched as The Dragon founded the Black Tower and he led the People through the final battle... and he is linked to a wise-one...<br/><br/>What attracts me is the conflict within such an individual; how he balances Ji'e'toh with wet-lander custom and demand... how his diciplined and rigid upbrining to be a warrior blends with the harsh system of training in the Tower and what has been born from the two cultures. The refusal to touch a sword but a love of fighting with spears and a bull hide buckler, the black coat and his traditional knee high boots and blending clothes...<br/><br/>Anyway, as the purpose of the Black Tower seemed to shift to protection purpose, it's not much of a step to becoming more of a US Marshalls or Sherrif's role within the nations, it would be interesting to learn more about the tower from the prospective of an Aiel who has spent time in it and still struggling a bit with it.<br/><br/>If this wouldn't work, I'll come up with something different.
