Re: Through the Mists: Out of Character Discussion
I'd agree, but it'd make sense that if you brainwash enough people some are genuinly gonna get into it(And Sylvia was never high enough in rank to see the rotten regime from a leaders eyes). Just look at some modern day military propaganda, not saying one can compare the two, but some folks -do- believe in all of it. I know a personal tale there, basically, whilest my Great-Grandfather withdrew from a prestigious early member position in Hitlers party as protest when polen got attacked, his own son, my grandfather, growing up at the height of the regime explained that in his generation, few thought about questioning it and he couldn't understand his father until he was much older.
I believe that on a subconscious level Sylvie is completely aware that some.. things are not as they should be but that just causes her to double down, see Rovanas 'confidence'. It'd need some gentle but firm hand to.. guide her away from that. *nudges innocently*
So yeah, simply put, if she was raised on the prime material plane, she'd propably be a genuine LG paladin, calmly investigating the windmill, trying to redeem Bella and Ofallia, rather than challenge evil more brutally, but.. Genuine 100% paladins are a bit dull unless you add X to the flavour, or play the heck out of them and I could never play them as good as some can, plus, whilest not super into breeding, the whole idea of her willingly accepting a position of inferior breeder under the men has an erotic appeal to me and I think interesting storyline potential depending on whom she encounters.
