A few sentences on how you plan to make the server more fun to play on for everyone, through your character's actions/story

Venka will be leading players on a wild goose chase to take down villains and issues she secretly created. Leaving calling cards with a pseudonym for adventurers to chase after.
I'll be coordinating with Spiffy's wererat to set up trials and issues for adventurers to solve, giving him undead to hide behind as a villain, and misleading adventurers into thinking there's a greater evil behind everything.
In reality we're training heroes.

We'll be tempting people into becoming evil so we can either use them as villains for the next trial and frame them for other stuff we did (planting the calling cards at the scene of their crimes), or hail them as heroes if they resist the temptations.

Brief background as relevant to the application

Venka escaped a church of Shar that inducted her at a young age that was using her for her blood in rituals. She tried to escape her pain by seeking out Sharess but found brothels and gambling dens instead, and Sharrans were in attendance! When the turned to Loviatar she received a vision. The church of Sharess is a Sharran cult in disguise, convincing people into self destructive lifestyles to push Shar’s Nihilism agenda. Loviatar is actually the goddess of teaching, guiding pain and pleasure, Sharess is just a second name. Pain exists to warn people when they stray, and pleasure exists to confirm when they are on the right path. A proper Loviataran uses hardships and tribulation to train people into greater personal growth, so that they can become better and more competent people in the future, the ultimate goal is hedonism and fulfilment, but only someone who’s earned it through trials deserves it.

Plots and Goals

• Form an official church of Loviatar including a heresy that Loviatar also owns Sharess’ portfolios.
• Pose as a true Sharessan, stating that pain and pleasure are both two sides of the same coin, owned only by one god.
• Denounce the current church of Sharess as a cult of Shar, misrepresenting Hedonism and attempting to manipulate people into self-destructive debauchery instead of guiding them towards fulfilling lives.
• Poach Sharess’s faithful, and gather Loviatar’s zealots under one banner. The Church of Silver Scars. Showing them this way is better for them, and using the Zealots to create trials to prove it.
• Push as many adventurers into the path of becoming a hero or a villain by tempting them into depravity and/or causing issues for them to solve heroically.
  • Using undead to cause scenes and tragedies, framing and setting up others as the perpetrators, then leaving a calling card at the scene of the crime under a pseudonym villain for adventurers to chase.
  • Seek to make a deal with the devil, they will help her tempt mortals into depravity, those who fail the temptation will be used as villains for the next trial to test adventurers, she will lead the villains to an early death so the devils can have their souls, in exchange they help her test adventurers, and mislead them into thinking the pseudonym villain is a devil.
  • Recruit the more zealous worshippers of her faith she’s managed to convert into assisting her in setting up these trials.

Other - A few examples of how you plan to portray the subrace

Psychological Draconic traits.

• Her draconic pride has her behave like a domineering parent. Mortals are all children to her, she takes the role of mentor and guiding teacher to the good. But to her followers, she behaves as a very strict domineering parent with higher standards for her own brood.
• She likes to hide her draconic strength and magical power in a veil of shadows and mystery, until absolutely necessary, influenced by her lineage and Sharran training, she keeps her true potential veiled from those around her.
  • I plan on intentionally sandbagging this character around goodly folk and heroes, using a whip and shield, pretending to be an enchanter and playing a more defensive and supportive role. Despite her favored weapon being a scythe, and her strongest magic being necromancy, and her style being more aggressive.
  • When among devouts of the faith, she’ll be using a scythe and her full arsenal of necromancy while taking on a more proactive leader role.
    Physical draconic traits.
• Cat-slit violet eyes
• fang-like canines
• Scales running along her forearms
• claw like fingertips
