An ambitious player has joined my group just recently. I told him about where the game was currently taking place and he immediately knew what he wanted to play.
So, a bit of explaining: This a magocratic republic. Slavery is common practice, especially among patricians, and the senate is entirely made up of aristocratic mages. Plebeians almost never make it into the senate even as quaestors, and aristocratic non mages rarely have much better chance than plebeians.
The player in question has created his character with two goals. She wants a front row seat in the senate, and she wants to abolish the practice of slavery.
I want my player to really enjoy his experience, though I've got doubts he'll succeed in his primary goals. He's playing a summoner, though I don't know if he's a patrician or a plebeian.
Just to be clear, I'm not complaining. I love ambitious characters, and have always played very ambitious characters in the games I've played in.
