    Blackguard of Hell
    Restrictions: Human only

    You are a creature of purest evil, spawned in the depts of hell at the beginning of time. After milennias of loyal service Satan has decided to give the mortal realm to you, if you manage to conquer it. Tormenting souls and fighting angels has made you very strong and quick (+4 str, dex & con as well as +1 to dodge and melee) but, being a demon, you look horrible(-8 to charisma and beauty). People don't want to talk to you (-3 to persuasion), your alignment start out as -100 (can never go higher) and people always give you hostile reactions.
    Due to your extreme age, you do however start with 5 extra cp:s, a magickal aptitude of 30 and the equipment you had in hell, a cursed axe and magick dread armour. You also start with the two first spells in the fire colleauge but you start with no money.

    Wouldn't such a strong BE&CH penalty cause everyone or almost everyone to attack you on the spot? (which would be logic since you're a demon)

    I would venture to say the -persuasion is not necessary. With -8 charisma, you're going to take a minimum of 5 CPs before you have enough to even raise it to level 1. With -8 beauty and -100 alignment permanent, the only NPCs that won't attack after the initial dialogue will be 1s slated as required for the main plot and possibly storekeepers.

    This character would be extra hard to level because very few side quests would be open to it.

    then again, he'll probably have to smack the givers of the sidequests, gaining experience that way.
