"Nemesis" Ideas


Advice


So, 1 of my characters is taking the Nemesis Story Feat. However, I need to work out who this Nemesis is. The character is the human adopted son of an elven count. The characters mother is dead, and he has a younger elven brother, who is not adopted. I'm not open to the idea of making his brother his Nemesis.

So, can you guys shoot me some ideas? I've already got a few but it's always great hearing what the community thinks. ^_^


His twin. The one that died with his mother at birth. The brother he never knew he had.


When I used the feat I created a detailed background history for my character and his family and wove in some tragic events, giving my GM several story hooks he could work off of. So now I don't actually have a clue who my nemesis is, but have been picking up clues as the game has progressed. Not knowing specifically who my target is going to be has kept things really interesting.


My knee-jerk reaction is a jealous sibling, another (perhaps bastard) son of the count whom resents your humanity and claim to what "should be his". Maybe he is a half-elven son of the count and your mother, and his half-blood status made life bitter for him- and hence toward you character.

More details of how you became the count's son would be helpful, since this is the only thing we know about you

My knee-jerk is for a "relative" maybe not a sibling, but say a nephew who lost his favorite uncle due to some short lived smelly person coming into take his family, his inheritance, and the love he so truly deserves.


Totally slipped my mind to even include that in my original post, sorry. ^_^" Basically, his biological father was a war-buddy of the Count. He died in battle, and the Count took his son(my character) in as his own.

Edit- Also, thanks for the ideas so far lol.


The Elven family's wet-nurse, who feels slighted that the adopted son was never raised by her.

The nemesis could be the son/daughter of the being that the character's father slew to save the adoptive father. Or someone who wanted to be a significant other and had their love turn to hate when it became obvious that this would never be. Not really seeing past cliches at this point.
