  Judge who wants to destroy the PwoR

  Been here a long time. No one else should suffer as he's suffered.
  Generally good guy.

  * Wants to destroy permanently so no one gets snatched here
  * Second choice is Minister of Ragged Things
  * Doesn't care about these specific people, more about the principle
  * Wants to introduce death as a new escape
  ** Human sacrifice ritual? Slider/integrity?
  ** Death-themed item he's looking for?
  *** "Darkness Box"
  *** Do a ritual with it?

  * Question: "How can death be the answer to suffering?"
  ** Answer1: "That which is dead can never die."
  ** Answer2: "Because then there is always a choice."

  Honestly you've been in the Place Without Recourse so long that the memory of
  what came before starts to fade.  You were some sort of soldier, maybe.  Your father
  was someone person of note?  You want to say that he was a count of some land, but the 
  distinction between what was true and the tales you've told to the other people here in
  this place has long ago started to blur to you.

  Now you are just \EndPwoR{}.  Nothing more, nothing less.

  Maybe he was just a mayor and you embellished?  That can't possibly matter at this point.
  Days have passed, and more days.  And more days and more days.  And surely, on the outside,
  they must add up to enough years to claim the life of anyone yet here they are just days,
  never forming any meaningful combination but simply standing on their own.

  Some days, however, are more meaningful than others.  One day you tried to climb out of the
  Place Without Recourse.  And the next.  And the next.  And the next.  And days that extended
  countlessly.  But then you were made into a judge, and things changed.

  Memories of petals floating in water press into your mind, a room all of gold, and 
  the taste of tea.  You have spent so long questioning the reality of your memories that you
  were not in any position to be fooled.  You will hold fast to what you believe no matter what 
  glittering fantasies are overlaid onto who you are, what you've seen.

  Really, the only thing you had been hoping for was some sort of exit.  Death, freedom, whatever.
  Humans are not meant to live without meaning.   This is not a place that should exist.

  You had longed for death.

  The question that Ii Ma used to bind you to this horrid place was "**How can death
  be the answer to suffering?**"  You've forgotten what that question meant to you
  originally.  Maybe you'd meant to kill yourself?  But now, now it makes a
  horrible amount of sense.  Death is the only way you know out of where you are.
  But what sort of answer is death?  Still, a choice in a land without choices is
  like water in a desert, and the thirsty man would not stop to question why he
  would drink should he be offered water.

  But now you are a judge, and while you don't know how you will judge the plays you know
  that you've already judged the Place Without Recourse to be a thing that should not exit.
  A thing that should pass from existence.

  You can find ways to weaken the Place Without Recourse itself,
  through attacking its integrity.  You can find some way to allow
  people to leave it forever, perhaps by searching out some newly
  created artifact.  Some sort of Pandora's Box, perhaps, that would
  let death in so people could choose that escape.  You're not sure if
  you should encourage War.  War should bring with it death, but in a
  place like this, it might not be enough.  And if all else fails, you
  can become Minister of Ragged Things and prevent anybody else from
  being brought here to share your fate.

  Because no one should have to endure eternity like this.

  == Goals ==

  * Reduce this place's Integrity by any means possible, to destroy this
  place once and for all.
  * Look for any useful tool for reducing Integrity or allowing
  death.  You imagine such a
  thing would only be found in some sort of dark, desolated place...
  * Work to become Minister of Ragged Things, so that if this place
  survives you can at least keep others from being brought here as you were.
  * Look for any way to make Death possible here again.

  Your character is \name, a judge in the Place without Recourse.  You
  seek to end the injustice you see the place without recourse as
  representing.  You don't want to spend a day longer in this prison,
  and you don't want anyone else to, either.  Best to be destroying
  this wretched place, now.

  Costuming:\\
  Lots of black.  Whether you want to take it to a black leather/punk
  place, a black robe/suicide cultist place, a black on pale goth place,
  etc. is entirely up to you.
