That being said, I'm not averse to the idea, or even having someone play two characters if they wanted. One who arrived in the skyship, and one who was a native.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah, I might be able to pull off two characters, assuming everyone else is ok with the idea. I was thinking of giving them both conflicting goals; one that's in trouble here and wants to get away, one that's in trouble on the alien planet and wants to escape with the group. For the normal character, I'm thinking someone that's in trouble with Inquisition you mentioned. Some kind of heretic or witch. Is magic a thing in this setting, or would a witch just be someone that behaves strangely and doesn't follow God?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=290382.msg14259664#msg14259664">Quote from: HairyHeretic on 08-07-2018, 14:03:40</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Now, what that native might look like is still open. Red Al-Qahirans, a Thark equivalent perhaps, or beastmen of varying kinds? Perhaps something different again. We have plenty of blank map beyond the bit labeled "Here be Dragons", so if you had something else specific in mind, I'm willing to discuss it.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I liked the red-skinned women you had in your opening post and I'll probably stick with something like that. I would want my alien character to have done something pretty bad. Like, 'they'll kill me if they find me' kind of bad. Just something that gives her a reason to work with outsiders and a reason to help them get their ship fixed up and off the planet. So maybe an escaped slave that killed her master, a thief that stole something incredibly valuable, or maybe some kind of scientist that knows something important and can't be allowed to leave.<br/><br/>Could these concepts work?
