Inveska Oykot was one of those "could have been" characters. The replacement for my barathu in the Dead Suns adventure path, Inveska died at the end of her very first session! Getting knocked into a pit of acid that does 20d6 damage per round will do that to you. It's a shame, because I saw a lot of potential in the character. As a member of Eox's Ministry of Eternal Vigilance ("Eternal Vigilance Requires Eternal Undeath"), Inveska had a dry, bureaucratic persona--but with layers that I never got a chance to bring out. For example, she only posed as a ghoul to fit in, as she fell into the in-between category of half-undead borai. I also liked her background as a former member of the Starfinder Society who was killed during an excavation on Eox, thus tying in an SFS scenario. There would have been some interesting stuff to explore there. Unfortunately, two deaths in quick succession hardened my heart in Dead Suns, and afterwards I went with pretty stock, low-investment characters.
