Poor Raslen has hit 40 sanity and must manifest an Insanity.
My ideas so far dont quite work because they don't meet the various qualifiers of evil Logan, so I thought a thread on Insanities might be good for inspiration.
Possible themes to play on:
- Raslen thinks he's actually black. He originally hit 40 sanity while *in* the body of a black man (BF).
- Hes a businessman trying to increase resources. Maybe he feels the need to gamble money away...further driving Freddy insane.
- He's a criminal. Actively breaking the law as we speak. He loves to make small talk and seek advice from cops on the street, leading to potential fuckery?
- His original insanity was cured/relieved, but was brought on again by an hour-long bus ride through Sleestack society. So could be an aversion to Voras/Sleestack...
What are your thoughts?

Hum. Black could be a problem.
A gambling problem would be funny but would I think piss you off as you'd piss away everything.
Same with the cops thing.
Aversion to Voras is real bad because at some point it will be module time there.
I like that you're putting them up for ideas.
My only idea is that (and this is not a good one, though funny) Raslin believes he is a kangargoo and will begin dressing in a full kangaroo suit with tail. And wear a normal suit over that. Wildly inappropriate for pretty much everywhere and it would make a lot of business impossible to start. But funny! More so if Jason got some big fake kangaroo ears he wore every game session to remind us of this tragic insanity.

Australian Pride: when appropriate, you always mention that the Australian equivalent is better/superior in some way. You boast about Australian customs, music, food, animals, etc. Trying to negotiate a delicate business deal? Well, did you know that in Australia <random fact about whatever>.
You also always wear something with the Australian flag on it and it must be visible, like a pendant or a hat or something.

You also always wear something with the Australian flag on it and it must be visible, like a pendant or a hat or something. While it's good, how is it detrimental in a very big way? If he refused to handle anything NOT from Australia or do business with anyone NOT from Australia or couldn't understand anyone who didn't speak in an Australian accent THAT would be detrimental but (for his character) too detrimental. Other things that could be detrimental: Will ONLY fight with traditional Australian weapons - IE those from the Aboriginal tribes. Club (not just any club but ONLY an 'ozzy club'!), boomerang, spear, magic (it is listed) and spears. Found a new laser gun? Light saber? Nope! Boomerang. That's the way forward. Very limiting, fits in to his Ozzy charm, bit odd. www.aboriginal-bark-paintings.com/aboriginal-weapons/ |

Obsessing over certain things Australian, like the weapons, is interesting and escalates his prior behavior.
*plays a montage of Raslen asking/interrogating dozens of Beastkin residents to find where the kangaroo beastkin are - before grudgingly settling for a rabbit*
"You're a kangaroo now."

True, but unless it is a definite draw back
(like 'won't use money', 'is a doctor but attacks anyone screaming - stay out of the children's wing of all hospitals for sure - well, just hospitals in general', sexual perversion of a fiercely blue sort (and constantly in 'blue face' trying to pick people up), refusal to use anything that uses electricity or technology, etc)
then it's not a quite there. I think we're on the right track - just need to find 'what is limiting about it'?

Only wears traditional Indigenous Australian clothing. Due to the limited effectiveness of armor, not being able to wear armor is a very small drawback. True, showing up in just a loincloth would put off some people I suppose... |

Now if Raslin Rad always dressed up as a kangaroo and would only use 'traditional weapons' - that would be a bit much.
Given that - in order to do his business dealings - he needs to be taken seriously, I would not recommend the dressing as a 'ro. The 'traditional weapons only' thing would be pretty limiting ("I carry this case here for when times are hard.") but (except in battle) he would still be taken seriously and stuff for business.
He could learn the 'super low damage slap fight unless you have massive strength bumps' way of fighting with his hand or just become 'mostly non-combatant guy unless he knows that he's not on a business trip so he brought his special big assed case of spears (etc) along with him.

What if Raslen thinks Sleestak are actually crocodile beastkin and feels compelled to capture them and then relocate them back to Beastkin.
"Look at the size of that one! Beauty!!"
And then after the DORAs bail him out of jail, they get back to the task at hand.

It would mess with the party (the same way that hanging out with a kidnapper makes you an 'accessory') also it would mess up a lot of potential mods (for when you are not with the cabal). |

What if you start "collecting" animals? Maybe have a few of them with you at all times as pets. Have a snake constantly draped over your shoulders etc. Got to look after them and whatnot. Eventually you can start your own zoo or something. Pretty annoying insanity having to constantly care for your animals and take (some of) them with you.

I can see that really messing with his business stuff though. Also, it would massively derail the campaign as (logically) every time poor Jay was to play he would be 'out to capture a new prize animal'. |
