okok i couldn't resist flipping immediately to the chapter on tianjing and thinking about jun
and growing up as an aasimar (now called empyreans but... yknow) in a nation of mostly aasimar. a nation known for closing a wound similar to the worldwound and guarding against it ever opening again. lots of pressure to live up to that legacy of heroism, surrounded by monasteries and temples and this expectation of goodness and holiness because of his bloodline. and he finds it extremely stifling
so he leaves to travel tian xia. falls into a small fringe cult of zon-kuthon and ends up making the journey across the sea to Nidal (where ZK worship prevails) and still... finds himself in mendev at the worldwound, so similar to the thing that the foundations of his home country are built on. the history and legacy he'd run away from. and then devoting himself to closing it.
we love circular narratives and recurring themes and character development.
he originally goes to mendev undercover as an inquisitor of abadar, although truly he's seeking to deepen his devotion to zon-kuthon in the chaos going on there, after having a mini crisis of faith.
i know he alignment shifts from lawful evil to lawful neutral but i'm still thinking about if he'll reject Zon-Kuthon entirely or just adapt his worship of him (other deity options would be jin li, desna, tsukiyo)
maybe retraining entirely from an inquisitor to something more distant from the gods (i have already decided in pf2e he'd be the upcoming commander class, which is like focused on team stuff similar to his pwotr inquisitor build)
