Description and History
Notes on Roleplaying:
Kaus is one of the most hardest characters I've ever created
due to the fact that the DM in his smug way allowed me to create
multiple personalities for the Character. They are broken down as
such:
1) Kaus- the true character: healer, friend, and all around
basic guy is not somewhat of a shmuck when it comes to the world.
2) The Casa-Nova: The second personality has arrived for one
thing, Women, and he believes his is the Gods' gift to them. This
has gotten him in more trouble than in bed... but on the rare
occasion it happens....VERY rare
3) The Child: Has the mental capacity of a child and usually
cried a lot, is terrified of the dark and rather ineffectual in
Battle. He did get the party sympathy points from a barwench
though...
4) The Hate: A personification of Kaus' Rage and hate at his
fate and the world. Has a particularly nasty streak when it comes
to any form of outsider, from deathly powerful Mariliths to well
meaning an benevolent Task Genies, it matters not, he'll tell them
off, where to go and HOW to get there. He believes that they
should serve creatures of the material plane.
5) The possessed assassin: This is a rather nasty curse that
the DM added, This is a personality within the Obsidian dagger, a
Soul bound to the Service of a Marilith. His task to kill the
party a search for a particular sentient Lich
skull/construct/artifact named Floyd ( A previous curse from the
DM on another party member) The system I created to develop the
personality change was unique if not random. When a stressful
situation occurred for the character a d10 would have to be
rolled, the number was what personality took control:
1-Kaus
2- Casa-Nova
3-The Child
4-The Hate
5-Assassin
6-Kaus
7-Casa-Nova
8-The Child
9-The Hate
10-Assassin
Kaus is a VERY difficult character to play and I suggest him
only if you are confident roleplayer and have the DM's support (
which may turn to anger or pity, so be warned) Strength and power
is not his main suit, it is the ROLE PLAY!!! Again Be warned
Description
Kaus Honorshield has not had an easy life. Abandoned by
both sides he was found and raised in the service of Helm By his
mentor, a Human Cleric of Helm, Alongar Saladin. A man who could
see that the young Half-orc would gain if raised under the
watchful Eye of Helm. As Kaus grew older he proved that his
dedication in Helm was Absolute and was eager to protect the weak
and innocent. Thinking his protégé needed some real experience
Alongar sent Kaus to minister to a small village on the edge of
Zhent controlled territory. The village of Thenore, in actuality a
tiny community a no more than a few hundred, and just on the
border of Moonsea and Dalelands region. Kaus was sent there to
establish a Church of Helm and to minister to the people there.
One thing was unexpected though, for Kaus, the Half-orc, Priest of
Helm, to Fall in love with an elven maiden named Aludriel Calaudra.
Although he attempted to claim her hand, and though she was
astonishingly willing, Her father, Tharizal, did not enjoy the
fact that a half-orc was attempting to court his daughter.
Tensions rose but before Tharizdal could do anything a force
composed of Banite and Bhaalite Troops moved in from Yulash in the
North. A small war broke out that saw the village besieged. While
able to hold the troops off, the town became a gathering place for
adventurers seeking fame or fortune. Kaus joined one of those
bands in order to prove his love and the power of Helm. The
beginning of his bad luck had begun. The Party was... less than
honorable and while he tried to steer them to the honorable path
of Helm Kaus was beginning to feel a weight upon his soul. A
silver and copper dragon entered the field performing good deeds
but in the guise of Kaus. The party began to grow paranoid at
their new member and Kaus was reaching his wits end. During the
height of the battle a Bhaalite Mage Summoned a Marilith who laid
waste to the city and the surrounding area as one of the party had
summoned a Pit Fiend from a forbidden scroll he had kept secret.
The sight of his beloved Aludriel being cut down was too much and
Caused Kaus to fall into a catatonic state, when he awoke he was
on a ship bound for the pirate Isles and a keep the party had yet
to reclaim from a former escapade. But Kaus was not alone, within
Kaus' head was Several personalities had developed. And a new item
was now on his person a Obsidian Dagger that he did not dare part
with.
RECENT EVENTS:
Kaus has recently been imprisoned in a Magic mirror as the
Casa-Nova had attempted to put the moves on one of the Female
party members whom had some rather powerful magic.... Is now
oath-bound to her service ( in a sense, slavery) as he is returned
to the mirror when he misbehaves. Although this is fine as Kaus
has become fed up with the black outs and attempts on his life
from some of the other party members, who were not jus
dishonorable but outright murderers. He was temporarily imprisoned
in a Genie fortress for bad mouthing the a female task Genie (
Casa-Nova put the moves on her, then getting exicted ended up
drawing out The Hate). He escaped only thanks to another slave,
who is now among the dead, causing a distraction. A Servant bound
to a mirror, eternal when inside yet mortal when free, a mortal
genie or servant of sorts. Cursed, or blessed, that is up to those
asked. Kaus is all but a broken man, Slave to both a mirror and
somewhere a Marilith mistress still awaits her lapdog to return
with the item she sent him out to get. |
