Purpose of Event:
To reset PKs to 0 (atonement) -or- To reset evil alignment to neutral (purification) -or- to reset good alignment to neutral (contamination).
Possible event text:
As you make your way through the forest, you come across a monk. The monk has an aura that is palpable and becomes borderline oppressive as you continue your approach. You feel you have no choice but to continue moving towards the figure, despite wanting to stop and survey the situation a bit more before making a decision. Your body continues its movement toward the spiritual figure without listening to your desire to stop.
The figure speaks, "Greetings shinobi/kunoichi! I offer you the ability to atone for your past sins or purify your soul. Atonement will erase the record of your past sins when you killed innocents. Purification will restore you spiritually.
Of course, you may already think of yourself as pure or do not think you have committed injustice for which you should atone. In that case, you may simply choose to continue on your path. Which do you choose?"

Thoughts:
I realize this event is tailored to very few individuals. So, the effort might not be worth it.
Also, it might be better as a traveling shop, a la Crazy Audrey (but much more rare).
I do not have the text for the outcomes yet, if someone would like to flesh that out. I personally am kinda waiting until a "possible" or "no way" is issue from Neji before proceeding.
I had initially thought of having two separate events, with two separate characters depending on which alignment you might want to reset (good or evil) but I could not figure out the 'evil' figure, that would contaminate a good alignment back to neutral, but would also allow for atonement. The event as written now is written from the perspective of a "good" figure, that would purify the spirit and allow for atonement of sins.
Basically, my goal is to give players a mechanism to return to alignment neutrality and erase from the record their past sins (PKs).
