Re: Corruption Tournament OOC discussion and planning
I intentionally went with the deliberately vague route for Mal-Umbra's background/bio, due to the very limited information and knowing I could work it round whatever required. He's implied to be ancient, powerful, etc, but with no specific claims to any great deeds or former status spare having declined at least somewhat. Means any defeats are easy to justify, and with his 'Lazy' flaw, RP wise it gives me the freedom for him to just make excuses to himself or brush it off. His background doesn't impose any implied lore over other characters, and gave me a convenient starting point of either re-earning that implied power, or continuing the narrative of stagnated demon in decline. Egotism can be fun, because there's no requirement for it to actually be justified, regarding how people with the biggest egos often tend to be the most deluded. It's a bit of a hall-mark villain trait.
The war only lasted a few weeks though? Heh. And I had been imagining it as a few years. Like a decade or so. Bit of a nightmare blitzkrieg then.
