Raven completed his champion run and then brought his other character out of temporary retirement in order to get those who fell behind to level 20. He did that by unloading as only a gestalt champion could against the enemy. At first, this upset the goddesses. He explained his actions and set a framework for Myssara to stop looking at every quest he was involved in as being her against him.
Instead, he showed her by working together they could build better quests. She just needed to learn to take some advice from him in matters. In order to make this next step, he wanted a nearly new party of first lifers coming into the game with no successes or failures. He would lead and teach from the front for a change.

Raven handed her a sheet of paper; "The starting background. Might even be a new starting point in your world."
She read through it.
"Name: Garran'shia Eclipsing Moon
Classes: Sorcerer, Cleric, Arcane Archer, and Divining Scion.
Status married. Open relationship due to tenants of faith. Cleric of Myssara. The Goddess shall provide. Born in a small Elven border village where trade is common with outside races, he has been given a multipart mission from the head of the church. First to deliver a message to the Elven Queen from Raven, Myssara's Champion.
To return a package to her and provide a gift from the goddess herself. May she rule wisely. Second, to escort a caravan to the Human Capital, posing as caravan guards but to deliver a package to the human King on behalf of the Goddess and the Elven Queen.
Then to seek out Myssara's church in the King's Capital city and pick up the next assignment, unless another quest has developed before then. Having been raised in the church and tenants of the Goddess he has read the elven equivalent of the Kama Sutra and is tasked with a wandering cock to add to the goddess's population.
He has been given a defined set of people in the know of his mission. His wife, his lover, both of their twin sisters, and two couples who are not to share his bed or those of his companions. To show some restraint. He is tasked with teaching about nature, hunting, and magic.
While being the hidden champion of the goddess this life. To try and not to draw attention to himself or his group with the masses or any over the top abilities unless forced into an impossible situation. Restricted to light or no armor by the mission and the Goddess.
Appearance: Tanned skin, amber eyes, and black clothing suited to the tenants of the goddess in hunting. Black hair tied in a ponytail. Long black cloak A mace with a mithril head to it depicting the beast with 2 backs on each side.
Glamour effect to be animated people fucking on each side. Different sexual positions on each of the 5 sides of the head. No other magical qualities (could use as a starting weapon on all your cleric faithful. Hint, hint.) A composite longbow, red cedar.
Sorcerer bloodline, celestial bloodline. Bracers, a holy symbol, and 12 gold pieces. Horse, an eleven riding horse.
Plan, Divine Scion level 8 and start arcane archer at level 10. (feat progression, Dodge (first level), weapon focus longbow and iron will from bloodline feat (third level), point-blank shot (fifth level), and (seventh level) precise shot and bloodline feet mobility in order to open up both prestige classes.
Myssara read through the parchment and smiled, "I like the mace, it is inspiring. Elven riding horses. Riding horse, as we have no eleven horses in this world. Nice thought though and I may consider putting some in place in the future. They would be more lore-friendly and not over the top."
He nodded, "You should do it, just to add more flavor to the world, another color for the pallet if you will. A black horse of course."
She smiled, "Of course and you are avoiding using the Raven this life. You have it but you are trying to prove a point. I take it."
He thought back,
"I leave that to you to decide. We need another slight change, in my familiar. The smoky grey eyes are great for when I WANT to identify myself but they should be normal otherwise. Else your persona bandits and others will spot me as well. The announcements have made me too well known for it to always be the case."
He heard back from Mother,
"That is a small cosmetic change and is like camouflaging your bow. Though you are not using that bow at the moment because you are in town at least. What you do on the road might change some of that as well."
Myssara laughed,
"I like that but you would have to dismiss him and re-summon him to switch his eyes. I like the bloodline for this combination. It plays well for ranged healing at first level, which you are counting upon. I will have your magical version of the bow match your non-magical version so it is less obvious unless you store and recall it to show it off for some reason. Another telling sign."
Mother read it over and nodded
, "I will let you know which ability gets enhanced after you start. Two new starting classes. I see many options."
He nodded, "I will use bracers to start, keeping the armor hidden until needed. Cantrips, prestidigitation, a ray of ice, and jolt. On the arcane side. With the cleric side cantrips, I got detect magic, read magic, and of course the ever-popular 'about last night' if you will. First level arcane spells Magic missile and snapdragon for the arcane side. Healing spells loaded on the clerical side for now."
Myssara took his hand and he found himself in the schoolhouse. The room went quiet and they did not watch the goddess as much as they watched Raven walk forward. He nodded, "I will assume you all know who I am."
There were a few laughs from the crowd. He saved time and had her play the discussions on player vs character and player concepts. He looked across as they finished. "This is only the second time the goddess has asked me to address a graduating class."
A girl up front raised a hand, "We were shown your images from 2 level-20 fights recently. Including one where they said you completely unloaded on the enemy. Why did you not do that in the previous run?"
He sighed, "I try to work with Myssara on certain things. After the first one, I realized she was playing the encounter against me to the detriment of the party at large. When we worked to end raids as a standard, they ended.
The end fights were not adjusted correctly to account for the smaller parties. That is a game mechanics issue I have worked to address with her. This was especially true if I was in the group and the quest was designed for me being in the group.
I proved this point in the second one and all of those players completed that life and have moved on. The player who gained the most from that, besides the Goddess who is more than a player, is Ersa or Mary.
The same player and she is with me as is Blossom who waited and ran the second one with us after dying in a frozen blizzard of a dragon's breath weapon during the first one. Ersa finished 2 separate level-20 characters with me now and has not died since getting attached to my hip.
I want you to look at the numbers 19 characters from level 3 inn onward across those two runs. 12 out of 19 completed a life. 64% success rate. On my ancestral world, that number would be considered a D- in school, if not an F.
