Checkmate Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Re: Creation Myth I once played in a campaign where there was a war against your typical evil empire. The general leading the opposing forces was a woman, and my character (a wizard elf) dropped unconcious during one of the battles and ended up stranded behind enemy lines. When he came to he was able to hastily don the uniform of one of the dead enemy soldiers he was lying near; which kept him from being taken prisoner when more enemy soldiers came to look for wounded. At any rate, Tirian (my character) was able to infiltrate the enemy camp over the next few days and actually get to know Nigira (the enemy general). During the course of the roleplaying they hit it off quite well. It was odd, you're supposed to hate the enemy, but when talking to her, she wasn't really a bad person. Anyways, long story short, they began a love affair, which was very interesting because they still met on the battlefield on opposite sides. It was a lot of fun. A little side note here. I'm in the US Navy, and have always been a bit of WWII buff. My ship pulled into northen Italy (can't spell Treste to save my life). We have a program in the Navy called MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation) that provides trips and things at discounted prices. One of the trips was a Ski trip to Salzberg Austria. This is probably one of the greatest times in my life. On top of Salzberg being one of my all time favorite places in the world, I found out on the 6 hour trip back to the ship that our tour guide was in the Italian Army in WWII. The conversation we had was unforgettable, and very eye opening. It's easy to de-humanize the enemy (and especially for people that have to kill said enemy encouraged to de-humanize them) until you actually talk to them. Learn how things were from their perspective. I don't think I could ever convey the pure eye opening feeling that will stay with me forever.
