Screen Shots & Obituaries / That Malingering Nobody

Absolutely all of my character screenshots are spoilers. Such is the life of a voyeur.

If you have any good things to say about the character, I'd deeply appreciate it, but I would also like to hear the "bad" as a break from EFU tradition: I would strongly benefit from the criticism.

"Nobody" once served in Candlekeep as an acolyte of Oghma. This ended beneath the Red Star. Having acquired vast but temporary sorcerous power, the young monk used the books he knew so well to visit a black archive of the Abyss. He sold his face, his name, and something else to the lord of that realm. He acquired in this way the binding names of lesser demons, but also the advantages inherent in being stripped of identity. He returned to his erstwhile home only once more, to give back the required grimoire.

This cursed transaction was gradually eroding Nobody's physical presence. Although he remained the picture of health, he became more difficult to see or hear with every passing day. The effect was supernatural and allowed no willful deactivation. Without divination, conversation was only fluctuationally possible.
  • Nobody acquired his legal name and "registration" from a disaffected ex-citizen, in exchange for an ample and ongoing bribe. The original Mervyn Vaughn was a Chauntean hedge knight.
   â€"
  • He acquired his sending stone through opportunistic theft from Samber Smithson, Lowersman, along with two thousand gold pieces. An escaping goblin bandit was easily framed as the culprit.
   â€"
  • He never reached a significant age, but was granted eternal youth during his encounter with an ancient djinn. It purported in the moment that immortality is a damnation of its own, another curse and not a blessing. This had a significant psychological effect on him.

That ending was one heavy ride to read.

I didn't know Lew very well, but his journal made an impression on me. For a character so humanly characterized to be stripped of everything that made him human...
