Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Looking at this analytically.
Elan gained his flair for drama from his father, and his alignment from his mother.
Nale gained his alignment from his father and his planning from his mother.
But lets look at this alittle further. Elan, while a cloud cucoolander, is fairly calm, and doesn't go crazy in bad situations; Nale, on the other hand will go absolutely ape*%&$ over tiny things. Tarquin so far seems to be a fairly mentally balanced fellow, and seems quite calm and collected.
From this logic, it seems that Nale would have inherited his disposition from his mother; And given how Nale acts, its highly possible that their mother, while of a good alignment, is highly, highly unstable.
Problems with this hypothesis/equation?Monk sucks, but you know, it's not actually worth negative LA.

Tarquin and Elan are both clean-shaven, while Nale wears a beard. Hence, it follows that Elan's mother has a beard...

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Tarquin has gone through nine wives, at least one of whom has died in mysterious circumstances (my guess is that more have*). Even if he had nothing to do with his wife/wives dying (which is unlikely), his frequent marriages suggest he has problems controlling the lower passions.
*He is most likely evil, so marrying a woman he lusts after and then killing her when the lust fades is not terribly far afield.quo nemo sequi potest

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Doesn't neccecarily mean he has to do it in a passionate way though; He simply gets bored of them, and then disposes of them in a preplanned manner if they aren't the type to handle a "you get nothing" divorce lying down. Conversely, passionately disposing of them would probably entail a excessive tantrum ala nale and random excessive violence.Monk sucks, but you know, it's not actually worth negative LA.

Or maybe his wives keep getting assassinated by his enemies. Or the wives themselves try to assassinate him and take his place.

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
actually, now that i think about it, its actually highly reasonable for Tarquin's wives to dissapear left and right without him actually having anything to do with it.
The continent they're on is a bloodthirsty one where Leaders have their kingdoms overthrown constantly. As a high ranking official of such kingdoms, its highly likely his wives will constantly be caught in attempts made on him, whether that be the individuals wanting to blackmail him, or his wives simply being low level individuals who'll get wiped out in attacks that tarquin would survive.
This of course would have to be shown in comic, as the laws of narrative would imply tarquin's complicity in their dissapearances, but if you rely on logic instead of narration, he's got a fairly decent defense.Last edited by krossbow; 2010-06-10 at 10:12 PM.

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Lamrack not being right and genetics not working like that?
Also we are not dealing with genetics. We are dealing with a fictional universe where anything that is not detailed to be impossible in one of the various D&D Core Books is assumed to be possible. Therefore, Elan and Nale can inherit whatever the gods of fate decide they should inherit.Thanks to GreenMuffin for the rocking avatar

Once or twice in that span I could see, but they get his wife every time? And never Malak or himself?
It would make sense to me if this actually had happened at once point, but with a number that high, Tarquin is more than likely somehow responsible for at least a few of these things. I think if it wasn't the generic getting tired of his wives, the poster who said that he decided to have no children and so would ge rid of his wives before that happened might be the next logical conclusion that I've heard.

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Her rivalry with Gary's Olde Towne Tavern is legendary. (Thank you Wikipedia.)
If the 9th wife died in some attack by one of Tarquin's enemies, that wouldn't be "mysterious circumstances." Tarquin would just say that.

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
That doesn't mean the previous one's couldn't have been other things such as assasination or murder though; we're assuming that because his last wife dissapeared, ALL of his wives disappeared. It could be a conga line of different reasons for each wife.
Not if it's happened on EIGHT SEPERATE occasions, though.

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
hmm, that means that Nale would also get his mother's erm..."eyes"
obviously this cements your point because we all know Elan don't have those eyes...

Re: Wonder if Elan's mother is manically psychotic...
Maybe it is just a recessive trait and it skipped a few generations before manifesting in Nale.

Nale does get that from his mother, think about what happens when a control freak doesn't get things the way they like them
