We have a campaign
As the participants after yesterday's Fading Suns session said, we now have a campaign. The first few sessions have been the pilot for the series, and now the first season is beginning full out. From the pilot (the first few sessions) we'll have nice pictures for the opening credits: a horrible murder of the Emperor's questing knight, courtly dinners, running away from the militia in laser rifle crossfire, intrigue in guildhouses, handsome young nobles and ruffled Scaver dealers.
My character is the young, angelically beautiful noblewoman, who has fallen into bad company because her family does not understand that the true essence of nobility is to serve the Emperor. She has been fighting in the Emperor's wars since she was twelve or thirteen and before the problems with the family, had risen high above the rank of an ordinary backwater noble. She is the born military leader, the intelligent and charming Hazat fighter with passion and righteousness burning her 19-years old heart.
And seeing into Isadora's heart makes me, the player, somewhat afraid. The way she blindly serves her Emperor, the way she blindly follows orders and waits for them. Isadora would be completely able to decide for herself, she is extremely intelligent and independent. Still, she believes in a world where the life is organized into absolute chains of command, where every leader truly is more wise and better equipped to lead than those under him or her. Given a goal, she is able to inspire her followers into victories or through defeats and naturally expects them to follow her without a question. Neither would she lightly question the orders by her superiors, since in her world, they are always right.
Now, of course, she has no one to lead. And, apparently, no one to follow either. Except for the cousin Magda, who luckily took Isadora under her Scraver wings. Playing that black-and-white, no negotiations teenage angst is actually quite fun.
