its kinda subjective, i guess. but the lady im thinking of has the whole aesthetic down with the shining sword and the confidence and everything, and shes a chronic do-gooder who fights evil wizards and does community outreach, and shes the magically chosen champion of some god. so i think she fits the bill, probably, by my metrics
i guess. its really well made, but the color always sets me off
its this really bright shade of red all over, which would be fine, but its associated with her god and its all over the place in the city where im stuck. and i dont like her god
The 'god' here is a literal entity with direct influence on your world, not an abstract ideal, right? In that case I easily understand your frustrations.
depends on the god. this one only has the nine rules, though, and everybody here knows what happens if you break them
everybody (technically) has a right to freedom, commerce, and death, and if you deny any of these to someone else, you get marked up and lose the red gods protection on that front. everybody has a duty to defend the city, praise the red god, and pay the booze-tax, or the red god smites you dead. and nobodys allowed to mint coin, try to conquer the city, or blaspheme, or the red god does....... something to you, that isnt murder this time, but that always leaves whatever poor fuck that got hit with it catatonic and weeping. she takes your mind
this is, on a very real level, the worst city in the world. death is often a mercy here, and the locals arent exactly the most merciful bunch ive run into
if someone is at the point of asking for or trying to obtain death for themselves, the red god, if nothing else, apparently doesnt like that much autonomy being shat on
