My character is an aimless mess of drunkenness and honour -- honour that defies the crushing weight of cultural opinion in feudal not!Japan. He wants to do what is right, what is honourable, but he can't and never will.

Right now, he wants to see these bandit gangs face each other in battle, so they may cut each other down honourably. Then he wants to kill the lord. Fairly, of course. Everything is fair.

Of course none of that is true because I instantly drop my spaghetti as soon as I start speaking and end up doing what would generically "help" the party.

>>55171827
To make one of his waifus real
For the Lizardman and Alpha Legion operative to stop flirting
The position of Chief Engineer
To fix the space ship

So I have a question I want some input on and don't know where else to ask it. I have a character who was once traditionally heroic, had the goal of overthrowing the evil empire and whatnot, but slid into apathy and/or outright hostility towards his original cause. I can't decide if that's because he succeeded in his immediate goal but ultimately changed nothing (say, killed the emperor, succession continued without fuss) or failed in such a way that made clear he didn't have a chance to begin with (beaten into the ground by guards the instant he entered the palace, found out the emperor knew about his plot all the time). I think the first makes more sense from a logical standpoint, but I kind of prefer the latter for the sense of complete futility.

>>55174434
Why not combine the two? He was an unwitting pawn used by a rotten claimant to overthrow the previous ruler, who then discarded the "hero" after securing his own rule. Works best if the hero had to do something dishonorable or with terrible unintended consequences along the way.
