I know that something that will eternally be a source of RP for Mugrir is the psychological toll that the years and years of war he has undertaken. Its important to key that up, because he doesn’t really have a chance to be domestic, thanks to his backstory. No family, no ‘home’ that he was born in, war and fighting for others is natural and indeed, the way he was literally raised. The ‘domestic’ scene one that is mostly Mugrir pub crawling or getting laughed at by other Boomsticks (kindly, of course!), since they are in fact what he considers his family now, guarding them jealously. The problem is with having a family that is made up of independent, trigger-happy, enigmatic soldiers is that sometimes you end up going to a lot of funerals. Survivors guilt is something that is never far behind Mugs, whether its because he’s the last of his line, or he’s had to outlive so many.

There is so much RP to do in a content lull, even if its just managing to work out and really focus on what is going on in your own characters head, really getting into it. Mugrir certainly isn’t whiny and emo-tastic like he was a few years ago, he’s gotten over that, but he’s still haunted. Yet at the same time, someone still surrounded by tragedy can have bouts of humor just by really saying ‘what’s the real reason he drinks so damn much?’ Mixing the two is a lot of fun, and I’m still waiting to see if Mugrir will ever finally crack and learn how to smile more on his own.

I love the domesticity idea. It’s all too easy to focus on the big damn heroics, but the point of all the heroics (for most characters) is that there’s a normal life to go back to, some day.
