[Phantasm]

Character: Daigan Kelso/Lady Nox

Once a sweet young girl from a farming community, Daigan (Irish spelling of "Dawn") was recruited by a sect of "dark-siders" (if this is a fantasy game, she was inducted into a group of power-hungry wizards; in a modern or sci-fi game lacking powers she'd be more akin to a poisoner/assassin type). She is now totally amoral, seeing nothing wrong with torture, murder, induced madness, and psychological manipulation of all kinds to fulfill her ends; in her mind, the ends always justify the means.

However, her ends in this case happen to be fairly noble: she's assisting in the overthrow of a tyrannical regime. At present she doesn't want to be in charge herself - that's too much work!

Although her sect of dark-siders has an opposing "light side" faction, Daigan is a pragmatic sort and does not seek to eliminate the opposing faction, unlike other dark-siders in her sect. She honestly believes the two sides need each other, and that neither could exist without the other to keep them in check; that belief happens to be unique among her sect, so she keeps it secret.





I'd originally wanted to make her a Sith apprentice in a Rise of the Empire/Rebellion-era Star Wars game, as part of a sect separate from the line of Darth Bane, possibly even working with a bunch of Jedi while never considering turning to the light. The GM of that game however didn't like the "rival Sith faction" idea. Spoilsport! :(
