Severyns what is sad is that you keep bringing this up, you are like an ulcer that goes away, then returns a while later just to be an annoyance. We have all stopped caring about your character, the immortals stopped a long time ago. I will now address a few more points you discussed.
Yes, you defined roleplaying well, I am proud that you were able to cut and paste. But what you missed was the universal side of roleplaying. Sure, you could have been trying to roleplay a maniacle killer that has no morals, and no qualms against killing anyone and everyone for no reason or no provocation. This is fine, there are many who do so. But you also must incorporate this into the world at large. Roleplaying to yourself doesnt cut it. Dont just justify your actions to yourself, show them through your character and through your characters words and actions.
And about the badass thing. They didnt take away your form because you were a badass. They took it from you because you were abusing it. You killed, and killed, and died and died. (I wont ask nepenthe to post the pk ratio, because I know it isnt as great as you think). Immortals dont harm people for being badasses. If anything they reward them, if they use their badassedness in a good way i.e. Istendil, Lachdanon, and those who have recieved quest forms, and the list goes on. We never heard of Istendil Losing Lichdom because he was a badass. And be honest. Istendil forgot more kills than you ever had.
So just be fair with yourself. You played a character that added nothing to the game as a whole. Learn from it. If you like killing, make another transmuter, go for the airform, and join Empire and kill and kill and kill. Make an assassin and join Battle, and kill everymage in sight. That is, unless you think squeezing a little "You mage, you die" or "Oath or die" out of your ass will be too difficult.
Severyns is dead and gone, let him die, and with his death learn.
