However his parents were overjoyed as they both were devoted followers of Asmodeus (and Asmodeus was main religion in city of his birth) so his birth was seen as divine sign from their god. So they used their wealth to bribe local Asmodeus priests to take in the god's favored child and educated in the church in matters of state craft, politics and of course climb up in church hierarchy much envy to non-devil touched members of the clergy. All while enjoy benefits of being born loving noble family who shared similar ideals and worldview as he did and is admired big brother to his younger sister (who sadly albeit not devil touched like him in regards career paths but no less ambitious her own). He took his new name; Cardinal Pride, upon graduation but he still accepts called by his older name by members of his family; Larsk Kradoman.<br/><br/>In short time he became one younger cardinals graduated from the merciless church and he decided to expand his influence (or build it) by working for crime syndicate which was distantly associated to the church. Criminal activity naturally is forbidden by Asmodean law, but then again there is no punishment if your not caught and thus leads to never ending wheel of bribery going towards Asmodeus church tolerate crime syndicates so long they do not grossly break the law and occasion church hires criminals to perform tasks for them.<br/><br/>Then opportunity arises with opening of the desert....promise of great wealth and thus power for someone who controls the desert sands.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Cardinal Pride, well, is prideful sort. He is proud of his fiendish heritage, not ashamed nor afraid of it. He knows very well what kind of patron he is dealing with and has sort zealous stoic acceptance of it and has accepted Asmodeus as supreme entity in universe (in his standpoint). Raised as prodigy by loved family he is very close to his parents and family but he is close also to his mentor in the church academy where he graduated from. He is driven, ambitious and has sense there is great destiny for him but he does not foresee it yet. So he focus mostly on gathering and increasing his own power and influence (in this order as influence without power is hollow one in his opinion).<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Wishlist</div><div class="spoiler_body">Use 20th level gold (minus 50,000gp and items bought) as a base for the list.

Just noticed some similarities :). Onto questions;<br/><br/>1) Non-con is definitely something I want happen or dub-con (dub-con just meaning person at first is unwilling but then gets seduced to enjoy it). Enslavement, converting/brainwashing someone into sex slave or general sexual induced corruption of personality to turn some female into your minion are nice if possible to do. Race wise I am not picky but considering a desert and potential ancient ruins, then perhaps acquire Anubis/Bastet females (https://cdnio.luscious.net/615/lusciousnet_anubis-bastet-breast-pr_1153608178.jpg) as part of his harem? No idea what mechanically they could be but could be potentially ritually bound to site until my char somehow releases them from bound. Anyways fine my char faces reverse rape scenario (dub-con) and fine with females and futas but not fine with MxM scenario (but fine with MMF or MMMF scenario where men are involved with women). Another hard off is mutilation but otherwise fine even if Pride gets enslaved (for time) and face dub-con or non-con (forceful breeding with female monsters).<br/><br/>2)<del>Atm no idea any specific grand scale items besides better armor and amulets of wisdom +6 or so.</del>All 50,000gp would go establishing a outpost/base of operations and hiring/training soldiers. As means to gain power and means get more treasure. If using Pathfinder Kingdom Building (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/kingdom-building/) rules (nice summary PDF here (http://www4.ncsu.edu/~rsgreen/KingdomBuildingRules.pdf), our kingdom starts size 1 initially and so 1,000gp = 1 BP and thus in start the cost of get started is cheap (by GM's decision ofc) so with just 13,000gp can get a house and a inn build in the desert. Cardinal Pride in such case would spend 25,000gp (half of the 50,000gp) for the settlement. Up to others decide do they want invest in or not (initial settlement has one district grid which has 9 large blocks and each block counts as 4 lots for total 36 lots). He would seek prepare desert area for habitation (2 BP cost) and takes 1 month to do so. Then council/laws/edicts and other buildings can be start to be made in area and as kingdom 1-10 size category we can only declare 1 new building at time (add roads, claim new hex or declare new city site build) to build new buildings. Cardinal Pride would then build houses (3 BP) and a barracks (8 BP). First house given settlement does not count limit per month building, so can same time build barracks. With remaining 9,000gp would spend on building a open space area (which can be done same time as upgrading a city) which would be a Mines (6 BP, needs build on mountains or a hill). Remaining 3,000gp is for kingdom treasury for any additional expenses.<br/><br/>His personal gear; Hell's Eye (http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicWeaponsDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Hell%27s%20Eye) 10,605gp, Profane Seal Signet (http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicRingsDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Profane%20Seal%20Signet) 3,000gp, Infernal Cord (http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Infernal%20CordGreater) 5,000gp, Circlet of Persuasion 4,500gp and improve his existing +1 parade armor into Dark Prince (http://www.archivesofnethys.com/MagicArmorDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Half-Plate%20of%20the%20Dark%20Prince) version (without being half-plate), -1,000gp cost for being already +1 enchanted.<br/><br/>3) I think we should go freelancers for now and meeting up; well most likely at one bandit hang outs as some do have already background working with bandits and Cardinal Pride seeks group which to hire to work for him (for this reason GM could give Cardinal Pride extra cash to accomplish the hiring goal and get party together or everyone agree XXX item was given as advance payment to them by Cardinal Pride). Not against working any of the groups though albeit Lady Tiltayo may be most best because it's most diverse and easier to blend in.
