The Concept/Character You Wish Survived...

[Symphony]

The concept I wish had survived was...

An experienced Drovian born in Tuluk whom made his living as a barber. He flamboyantly trimmed hair outside the Sanctuary with local bards drumming and singing tunes on the road. His reputation was well-known among the populace and was even allowed to trim the hair of Nobility. He cleverly used gurth fat to style Noblemen's hair, slicking it back if requested. The man would listen to the woes and boasts of the people during the day, but at night, alone in his apartment, he was quite another man. This went on for many, many months until one day one of His Faithful approached him; an aging Jihean whom had heard of this barber through word-of-mouth and requested a trimming. This, unfortunately, led to his demise as his cursed nature was found out and he was exciled from the city-state. Alone, with no where to turn, he survived for a few weeks off the lands until crossing paths with a tembo whose hunger was stronger than this poor barber's untrained legs.

The day was disappointing, but it was by far the best role I have ever created and played. I miss my poor barber.  

[Semper]

Byn sergeant. But you know how those end up... 

[Hot_Dancer]

My Jaxa Pah clan leader.

I just could -not- figure out how to make a wealthy 'rinthi elf work within my documentation
and had a very hard time developing plot lines and goals for my employees that were not murder
for hire. This character had as much potential as anything I've run to brutally affect the game world
but I staggered with him.

No one even knew he was a power because another extremely dangerous elf was running around.

Blammo - Storage.

[Feco]

I stored my nilazi after 4h of play.

Get bored?

[boog]

My pantsing delf.

Combat and boogs do not mix. Unless that person is manboog.

I had a cool physician character, partisan to a Templar, crappy stats, awesome like, till he died of thirst on a mountain top due to some gickery.

He was really getting his practice underway too. Delivery babies, getting rid of unwanted pregnancies, being sought for advice by nobles as well as some of the shadier folks. Was even hired to give lessons to merchant house hunters on field wounds.

For a lousy stated character I had a blast with him, socially.

I'd totally wished he had survived.

He was one of my more favorites.

I've heard you post about him before.  Seems cool.

The one character that I wish survived was my little elkran boy named after a foot part.

He was well on the way to becoming one of the craziest and most successful magickers I had ever played.

RIP little one.  May your lies forever haunt the game's history.

[Schrodingers Cat]

Marko's post reminded me of an Elkran Anyali (not a Tesdanyali but one of the other Anyali tirbes) I had for a few hours.  It was practically my first caster and I made the poor decision to try to hunt duskhorn.  The learning curve in this game is a pain.

[FantasyWriter]

Dwarf Viv
Focus: Gain immortality though draining the life of others and channeling it into himself.
Died to a RL pee break right after an gicky RPT in the Grey.  

[Gunnerblaster]

Sorka Hallan, the Soh Lanah Kah taken by a [redacted], ritualistically scarred to be offered as a sacrifice, but saved last minute by [redacted].

I wish, Oh God I wish, I hadn't stored him.

It was my first special app and Shalooonsh had been with me every step of the way. I was really excited about it and I was heart-broken at the fact that, as soon as I got into the tribe with a set of players I was supposed to be active with - They all went inactive. Didn't help at the fact that, due to my character's extremely young age, it literally took him 5-10 minutes of 'grazing' and 'nicking' things to kill them.

P.S. - This shit was, like, years ago.

[Cind]

Its been just under thirteen months, so... I had this half-elf one time called Jar, who had lavender hair but was otherwise physically normal for a breed. She was out of her mind. Such a wild person. It was so much fun. One time I had her climb up to the west gate and fall off repeatedly until pc guards came for me. This one guy who played with her and they become friends, she'd whisper in his ear at random that the jozhals would get her, or something to that extent. After three RL days she died to a brawl typo which really sucked because I had enjoyed playing her. I remember her death in that northern tavern, as a southerner visiting Tuluk with a small group, who I think were also southerners, as something that was probably going to cause them problems, for reasons I can't remember, and I felt bad, but what can you do?

[Khorm]

My Red Fang raider of everything, who I intentionally put into dangerous situations as often as humanly possible. The most fun dude ever. Makes me want to revive raiding.

Uh.. Sand Jakhal nilazi that traveled the world doing ridiculous shit. Had in his possession for a while a pair of metal elven artifacts. Traded one for immortality with a huge disclaimer attached to it.

I miss them both dearly 

[Maso]

That didn't work out huh.

... Vire?

[Decameron]

Just an ordinary man, trying to do his thing in a world surrounded by mutants, abominations, monsters, and such.

Yes ma'am.

As for the immortality bit.. it was all fun and games until the exception reared its ugly head.

So I came up with my best concept to date, a half-elf buried alive at birth by his shamed mother who emerges fully grown two decades later as a bestial rukkian (you know, like the crow or something). I had in mind he'd wreck his revenge on civilisation and then get all torn up and emo about it. Died at around two days

Holy shit.

Stored my Red Fang at 1 hr, 20 days played.

I had some RL stuff go down, took a short break, and for some reason continuing the role left a bad taste in my mouth.  Must have been the nature of it.

I'm sure I would have really enjoyed it, and would have loved to have been a part of their last IC events (which he totally would have seen).  Maybe it's best though, seeing as I wasn't feeling it at the time.

I guess I mostly feel bad because staff took the time to set me up, and I stored pretty quickly.

[Maso]

In the space of a year I stored two nobles...one with about 5 days played and one with 4 days played...They were both cool, surrounded by great characters and I worked hard on making them really in depth. I was still in the slump of losing my 50 day + and just couldn't get into them. I quit after storing the second one (and just came back recently, some 2/3 years later?).

Pretty bummed about that, they both had really good potential...and during really crazy interesting times too, but I had really hit a wall with Arm. Could also put that in the shame thread.

It's fricking ridiculous how long it can take to 'get over' a long lived character. Like...mental. It makes you have this half-desire to not want your characters to live long so you're not sad when they die. A bit like not wanting to get into a serious relationship after getting your heart broken. Madness!

[Jingo]

Pretty much all of my special apps.

[Barsook]

I was still in the slump of losing my 50 day + and just couldn't get into them.

Just happened to me but with four day crafter that I worked on and well, the rest is IC and history.

[Iiyola]

NNnnngh! Must wait a few more months before I can talk about this (assuming the char has to be dead for a year before one's allowed to talk about it). Other than that, aside from two stored chars and my current one, I have none.
