Need Help With Character Traits?

[OlliePope]

There's all sorts of possible traits that can help a MotRD character:

Nosey: Your character can't help but pry into someone else's buisness. Whenever left unattended, your character likes to explore. He or she opens desk-drawers, looks into coat pockets, skims books and letters, even eavesdrops on other people's conversations.


Packrat: Your character likes to take things "just in case". His or her pockets, bags and house are filled to the brim with junk collected from all corners of the world. Most of it is useless junk, but to the chagrin of his or her companions, every so often he or she whips out something useful.

Polytheist: Your character likes to hedge his bets - he or she carries trinkets from all sorts of faiths - christian, jewish, hindu, sihk, egyptian, norse, even voodoo. If someone worshiped it, so does he. Consequently, he or she is a font of information on all things divine.

Sports Enthuthiast: Whether its morocan polo, Russian chess championships, or even american baseball, your character knows the score. By talking about a shared interest in the local sport, he or she can strike up a conversation with all manner of interesting people.


Superstitious: Uour character is always looking for "lucky" or "unlucky" omens. He or she carries a lucky shirt or underpants and won't do anything he or she thinks is unlucky. He or she knows a million recipies for curing bad luck and even knows which is the luckiest part of the rabbit

I tried to think what would be the clasic-Ravenloft version of this.
I thought about a Mordentish girl raised to be a devote and pious follower of Ezra, who found out as a teen about the witches of Hala and was like 'Ooh, witches! Cool!' and joined, and developed this complex theory on why it's actually perfectly reasonable to revere both goddesses.
I was thinking about sending her on a quest to Barovia and having her embrace the Morninglord as well, but then it starts sounding a bit like the religion equivalent of Abserd.

Or you could have the Ravenloft equivalent of a follower of the Universal Life Church. Accepting all deities as an expression of the ultimate divine truth, so long as they are benign.

Didn't your ULC girl come from Gothic Earth too?
Had she been spreading the religion already?

She did, but most likely has not. She isn't a priestess, and lacks the kind of charisma you need to proselytize. She might have told people about the Universal Life Church if it ever came up, though, so a version of the faith might be quietly spreading as we speak...
