Passive 05-19-06, 03:16 PM	I'm thinking of making a lich or demilich (I don't know the difference, i've never played either and have only played DnD on and off for about a year.) Anyways, his story goes: He was a young but talented wizard with alot of potential, which an evil god {insert god here} noticed. The god decided to use the wizards talent to destory other gods, thus claiming power for himself. To turn this talented wizard evil, he made a plan to kill the wizards soulmate, throwing their yin and yang out of whack, either turning him completey evil or overwhelmingly good. He kills the wizards soulmate turning him evil, and tells him it was {insert gods here} who planned this out. The character then focuses on becoming all powerful, eventually entering lichhood under his own free will. Sound okay? just bare bones as of now...
