RPG A Day 2022: Day 26--Why Does Your Character Do What They Do?

We're still talking about Navi Brightheart--the green Ryuujin from Ryuutma. In my current campaign, Navi is trying to help the people of Haven by raising up a group of heroes to help rescue the long missing Silver Princess. Again, this is my take on the infamous classic module 'Palace of the Silver Princess'. There is a vague mention of 'Protectors' in at least one of the versions of this module. These Protectors are largely powerless to help the PC's but they do get the party together and help them to bypass a curse that has kept most other people out of the Silver Palace. I just made my Ryuujin to be one of the Protectors. She's more powerful and proactive than the Protectors in the module--and probably more than most Ryuujin. I let her take the party to the fey world of Nonestica--of which the land of Oz is a part. Most Ryuujin are content to gather stories of the party they are a part of which they in turn record and tell to larger 'Seasonal Dragons'. Once the Ryuujin has maxed out her level, the 'Seasonal Dragon' will have grown up and left the nest. The Ryuujin can then leave her charges, find a new group, or stay with her party and and maybe raise a new 'Seasonal Dragon'. Navi maxed out a long time ago, but she still wants to see the people of Haven get their fairytale princess back, so she'll try to stick with them until she sees it through.
