*shrugs* I have seen this OP begin to second guess perfectly serviceable ideas because they get barraged by folks who make assumptions about their campaign, group, etc. That’s not cool, and I’d hate to see it happen to OP again.
No, not really. But we do have a case where we often get very little information about the campaign, whether or not the poster has talked to the GM/group and so on which leads to the fact that the answer will always be some kind of iteration of "talk to your GM" or possibly "that's a very niché character that will require a very niché campaign".
And as a general reminder to everyone, the original question that was asked is not whether or not Javert is a good cop or if he would make a good PC, the actual question is whether or not it's a "reasonable" reason to become an adventurer to pursue an enemy that has been punished into hell just to be able to punish them some more. Since that is a very specific task bordering on the brink of obsession (at least the way OP described it) then the answer, again, will have to be something along the lines of "that's very niché and might be difficult to fit into a campaign". It's not really the kind of life goal that lends itself to hunting gnolls or other kinds of "adventuring".
In the OP yes, and people did make note of that. But now that the OP has elaborated and explained that the campaign involves going to hell anyway, that helps to make this motivation more feasible to carry out.
Sure, but the comment I quoted was from before any replies had been made after OP told us anything about the campaign, so the point still stands.
It's still an obsession of course, only the most obsessed of people would see being in hell as an 'escape' from their just punishment, but there's no point in discussing the topic only on the OP when further posts have elaborated on the situation.
The obsession hasn't really changed even with OP's clarifications so the comments on that part are still valid.
