I could be wrong, since this was seven years ago and not on this account, but I believe he was "the brown-haired, blue-eyed elf."  At least, I remember he had brown hair and blue eyes.

The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track

Mine was: the average, green-eyed man

And to find it you just go look over the biography feature on the main site...  uhmm.. someone post a linK!

I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

But codedly he wasn't really that tall.  And I thought it was a requirement to have your race in your sdesc.

I still laugh at the way my first died. He had a pretty interesting (short) life. He was a drama queen about everything and the way he died was perfect.

Well, it's too bad that the bio doesn't help me much either, I think I only have the characters I played in the last two years or so, there, and I started like 12+ years ago!

But considering that I didn't speak one word of english when I first started Arm, let's assume that my sdesc was something like.. Le grand monsieur bien-musclé
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track

I acutally died in a lame/funny way to some whiney PC, I laughed looking back on it.
Took advantage of me dehyradating to whine about his bad days / how shitty shit was, and this and that..

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

You need to be logged in at the point where you're logged into your account but not your character, then press L to see the list. It should work whether you have a living PC or not.

     She started as "the curly-haired, honey-skinned lass", and made it to "the curly-haired, honey-skinned lady" - then promptly got whacked.  I felt guilty for pestering the Staff for a sdesc change, only to croak.  I could also kick myself for letting a character with one of the Forbidden Nouns (tm) in her description die!   ;)  This was before I knew honey was green on Zalanthas, but fortunately people usually didn't pick on me too badly for my obviously-newb description.   :D

The tough(?), tough(?) guy(?). I remember my intent when creating that character when I was 12 years old, but I don't remember words. He was not tall, but he could have easily been muscular.

When I came back much older, my puppet was the kewl(?), ash-haired man. I felt like I need to describe his body, but it was pretty ordinary, so I've used some random word that does not contradict his main desc. Something like lanky.

Aww man, I can't even remember. All I can remember is she had amber eyes and a scorpion tattoo, this was like '96 or '97.
Just like the white winged dove,

Free your hate.

I think it was 'the tall, hook-nosed woman'.  Or possibly 'the tall, hawk-nosed woman'.  At least, that was the first one that lived long enough for me to sort of remember the sdesc.  I had numerous ones that died in various ways before that, but I can't remember the who, just the how.

This was around winter of 2003/2004, she was recruited out of Tuluk by Kurac, was shipped down to Luirs on a wagon, tried to mount the wrong kank as the group was going out on patrol (which caused a kank riot resulting in us having to kill all the kanks in the stables).  I was too afraid to log back in and see what they were going to do with her.  And then I went to college and didn't come back until last year.   :P

Vian, the lanky, black-haired man. I played him for about 30 minutes before he got sandy, lost, and didn't see anyone who I could identify as a PC, so I got bored and frustrated and left. Luckily I came back maybe a year later and played a character that got me hooked!

I found the original short description, main description and background of my original character:

Ehud
the small boy
Compared to most of the humans around him, this man is small,
perhaps due to his youth, since he seems to be barely starting
his teens.  His short brown hair is tousled and dusty, and
his eyes are large and brown, giving him an air of innocence.
His face is sun-reddened, and his small limbs are well-browned.


this character is a boy that was left at a clerics place by his mother, who was running away from the law.
He is finally old enough to go out on his own and look for adventure and find out about his family (if they are still alive) and for me(the player) to start my first character and learn how to RP
