Player Request for Ideas
So here's the deal - I'm in need of an idea for a game I'm a player in. I hope everyone who reads this journal responds.
The situation:
You're an elf in the middle of the human empire. You were raised by human gypsies, in a country no one trusts, though you do have dim memories of the elvish empire. You are a witch - you use folk magic and such to create charms and other spells. As such, you are marked and everyone who sees you knows you can do magic - in your case, because of a tie to the element of water, you have bright blue hair.
Since your current cultural attitude is gypsy, you figure if you can't carry it on yourself and one horse, you don't need it. You only have three items that you consider valuable and irreplaceable - a special Tarot deck that was made especially for you, a crystal ball you stole from someone that has proved especially useful in the past year, and a dagger you had made for yourself. Beyond that, everything else is just icing on the cake. But if you lose it - eh, you move on.
Anyway, recently you were part of a group that exposed a treasonous plot against the human empire, that came from one of the highest offices of power. This plot had/has the potential to put all of humanity back in the chains of slavery that their draconic racial enemies had them in over a thousand years ago. After the capture of the instigator and the resulting trial, you now will get a chance to approach the Imperial Prince (who is also the acting Emperor) and ask for a reward. A specific reward.
And here's where I'm stuck.
What would you ask for?
The only thing that bothers you is that people you've known for a while still don't trust you - you don't care about strangers. You don't expect or want instant respect, but feel in cases where you've earned it, it should be given. Because you are (a) of an alien race (so to speak), (b) from the global equivalent of Vodacce, Sicily, the Scorpion Clan, or the Tremere clan, and (c) you are a gypsy, you understand that those who just met you are highly suspicious of you.
Any help is good. I really need it.
