Veränderung - The Fifth Column, the Revolutionary, the Freedom Fighter Ignore the worm. Or don't. Maybe there are worms. You aren't the police of me. What kind of god are you? A new god for a new era. An era of change. An era of revolution. Who are you? "Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Then join in the fight That will give you the right to be free! Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! Will you give all you can give So that our banner may advance Some will fall and some will live Will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs Will water the meadows of France! Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!" Where are you from? The equatorial region of Nurada, a clashing topography of jungle and endless desert with arid grassland between them, which hosts a war-torn smattering of failed states, banana republics, and dictatorships propped up by larger world powers hungry for the regions natural resources. Peace and stability are foreign concepts in Nurada; there is always someone else's war to fight. What are you the god of? Revolution +2 - Rebellion. Insurgency. Revolt. Resistance. The toppling of the old to make way for the new. Where do you excel? Soldiering +4 - Veränderung was handed a rifle as soon as he was old enough to carry one, and has spent time in every rag-tag band of freedom fighters and militants that Nurada has to offer. That he has survived this long is a testament to both his luck and his skill. Long marches, bare provisions and inadequate shelter are the familiar comforts of home. What gives you an edge? Orator +2 - It isn't a glorious revolution without booming and motivating speeches given amid blood and thunder. What upends your plans? Fanaticism - No half-measures. No compromise. No collaboration to preserve the status quo. . What story do you want to tell? Viva la revolución!

LLSix posted:I love the song and the dune picture. Concept is very solid. There's a lot of overlap between your +4 mortal quality and your divine one. I don't see a lot of situations where you'd be able to use your mortal quality and not want to use your divine one which is just infinitely better. You may want to pick something else. Veränderung was drafted into the then-styled Nuradan Liberation Front at age 10, after his village had been 'liberated' from the nominal control of the Arradian autocracy, one of the many fractured territories of Nurada. Veränderung had not been his name then. The NLF resented the outside influence of the Major World Powers in Arradia, and the corruption endemic in General-President Farad's government, at least on paper. In reality they were every bit as greedy and corrupt, but merely lacked the backing of a Major Power, since their views were isolationist and hostile to outsiders, commercial interests in particular. He killed his first human being at age 11 during a clash with the State Security Forces when the NLF ambushed a military convoy sent to secure the territory's outer provinces against the insurgents. Five years, and countless skirmishes, later, the NLF were crushed by Peackeeping Forces sent to "restore order" by the Major World Powers, propping up the weakened autocracy with training, equipment, and air support. Veränderung miraculously survived the final push on his compound, one of only a handful who ended up scattering to the four winds in the confusion. Veränderung has since drifted from militia to militia, popping up in conflicts across the whole of Nurada, apparently lacking a fixed ideology, but instead drawn to militias and revolutionary groups of varied beliefs and goals. Over time his brazen exploits earned him a noteworthy reputation as a particularly dangerous insurgent, credited with some of the region's militias' more surprising victories and suspected of masterminding a few of the more effective insurgency tactics still in use today. Occasionally he will be "confirmed" as dead, only to reappear elsewhere. This has given him a somewhat mythical status among the region's revolutionaries. Though he has spawned a few imitators, he can be recognized by his tattered cloak and facemask, his "piercing blue eyes", and most famously by his rifle, which bears the word "Veränderung" scratched into the barrel.
