Hi there!
Our GM has set up an arena in our campaign, and one of my fellow players had the idea that we should have our own battle themes during one-on-battles. Been trying to find a good theme for my paly Rodric, but no standouts yet. Could use suggestions!
Some background on Rodric: he's one of the few survivors of his village after a rival nation invaded and took over his own. He had joined the militia and rose through the ranks quickly to Captain, but he disobeyed direct orders to stand down after a decisive battle. He got knocked out by one of the commanding officers of the invading army, and when he came to his whole village was burning to cinders.
He roamed for a number of years alone, but eventually learned of a mysterious continent that some fellow survivors may have fled to. He joined the current party there (as a tanky reach defensive Fighter). The change to Paladin was relatively recent: a party friend and cleric of Iomedea was killed, and Rodric offered himself to stabilize her soul and continue her mission.
Recently the man who destroyed his village was revealed to be one of the main big bads, and Rodric's been having to deal with a lot of pent up anger. He always tries to do the right thing, but when he's put into situations where split second decisions are required he usually doesn't think things through. He's been increasingly plagued by nightmares of his burning village, but instead of seeing the man responsible, he's begun to see a dark reflection of himself.
So think of a musical theme for a righteous man with an inner darkness that threatens to take control if he's pushed too far. Or something like that. Thanks in advance!
