Lamenting things I haven't been able to play...

[Asmoth]

I wish I could have played:
A halfling
A mantis
Either Northern Templar.

I hope in the future I can play:
A southern Templar
A sorcerer
A psionicist that lives longer than three days rl.

[Majikal]

I wish I could have played a halfling or a gith, their documentation was pretty rad and they had a lot of neat code twerks that applied to them. I don't think that plot that got rid of the halflings was worth removing the halflings. =(

I hope in the future I can play... A Red Fang again, or any revamped tribe that has some promise (like atv). I'd also be interested in a psionic but I don't even entertain the thought that it'll ever happen even via spec app.

[palomar]

I wish I could have played a Dune Stalker or in the Haruch Kemad (was offered a role in 2005 but had to turn it down..)

I hope in the future I can play an Akai Sjir. Lots of other ideas, but they're mostly reasonable/realistic.

[HavokBlue]

I'm sad about not being able to play a Red Fang because they were my first real "Armageddon" encounter in the desert.

If it's any consolation, all of those roles are less fun and more hard work than they appear.

Southern Templars are great, and I have much respect for people willing to make that time investment. Some of the best PCs ever have been really well realized southern templars. The bad ones never last. A truly intimidating RL investment, though, to do it right.

Psionics would have to get the same recent treatment that sorcs have, to ever really catch my interest.

I both like the recent change to sorcs, and miss the old ones. It was nice to know that there was some truly awful PC monster roaming around out there. I wish they'd kept it, as like a karma 10, 1-2 allowed at a time like thing. I'd never want to play one (imagine the pressure of solo emoting all the goddamn time), but I like knowing they're out there somewhere.

Something I can unreservedly agree with you on. I miss the Red Fangs. I played a few. (That probably surprises no one). Most fun I ever had as a tribal. Always something to do. Amazing leadership.

[Rokal]

For me, its kind things I hope to play one day far in the future.

Northern templar (if tuluk reopens)

Sorcerer (Can you blame me? They sound awesomely fun)

Elkrosian (Lightning mage? yes please. Lightning/energy is my favorite magic to Rp about in any fantasy setting)

Distanly, I'm definetly going to try a tribal or delf out in the future - but not a top thing on my mind, most likely ATV.

For now, I am just loving exploring the game, every near death experience, or crazy moment is a moment to remember.

[Pale Horse]

I, too, am mildly regretful that I will not get to experience an old-style Sorcerer.  Not really for the ability to "mon-un-wreckyershit" the Known, but to just to say I had.  I've played a large number of magickers and the social-stratification is bad enough without being the top of the handful of "kill on hint of suspicion" guilds.

Same goes for playing a Psionicist.  Every time I've put in a special app for one, I've been told that my request can't be fulfilled due to too many of them being IG at the time 

I am not lamenting this too deeply, though.  If you want to get involved in any number of plots, mundanes are where it's at.  You have the potential to be the minion or the leader without the expectations everyone else heaps on you when they find out you're a Sorcerer/Psion/Nilazi/Mul, etc.  Sure, you can be the minion/beta/second-in-command as any character or guild, but it's like having a Quest Marker hovering over your head every time you login and the few who know what you are bump into you.

Sometimes "evil" just wants to chill, you know?

[hopeandsorrow]

I too regret never being able to get the chance to play a real Sorcerer.

Should of played more and pushed harder for karma or something...

I wish too, but I'm looking forward to the things I will be able to play!

[wizturbo]

I would have enjoyed playing a full sorcerer too, but within a tribal environment.

I also regret not having played at least one Tuluki PC...Tek's will is strong with me, but I feel like I've missed a huge part of the game!

You can still play a Tuluki PC. I've been seriously considering making an embittered, lumberjack patriot of the 'wars of southern aggression', and raiding the southlands, with my next PC.

Holy shit you've been playing for over a decade and never tried a Tuluki? Ahahahaha.

[Cind]

I wish I could have played a halfling, but alas. At least there's a few lord of the rings based games out there.

I kind of wish I could have a warrior/nomad in the Byn right now, for some reason. Or a burglar/nomad. But that's the fate of people who can survive for more than ten RL days, you can't play every concept you want.

[wizturbo]

I know, it's crazy.  I've spent a fair amount of time in Tuluk when I played in the Tan Muark, but that's obviously a lot different than playing an actual Tuluki citizen.  I tend to have very long lived characters, so there's a remarkable amount of stuff I haven't experienced yet.  Also, I've played a lot of magickers, so Tuluk hasn't been a popular destination for me for very IC reasons .

Gith.
True Sorcerer.

That is all.

[Clearsighted]

Gith would be fantastic.

Back in the day you could special app for custom skillsets and conditions and whatnot, as long as your player concept was good and you would contribute to the game with it in some way.  For example, Smoky once played a Cenyrian Merchant who was going to run glass goods back and forth, and we designed some special items as wares, and it was approved, and I played as his half-giant bodyguard with customed glass-sharded armor and a big monster flail.

I never did the app, but I wanted to play an undead warrior who had a small sandstorm that followed him everywhere he went, and wouldn't plan on it surviving longer than 5 or 6 days of playing time.  Basically an RPT character for whenever I was logged in and raiding around the city.  I'd still like to play that. XD

[RogueGunslinger]

Well, in that vein I've always wanted to play an immortal character. Doesn't age. Lived since the beginning of the dragon, has first-hand experience of events throughout history. Has normal +hp  but has -hp that can drop all the way to -200 before he dies completely. Burning or dismemberment kill him. Knows almost all languages.

Totally cynical, self-preserving, and arrogant. Builds elaborate lies to cover up his immortality, runs off to build a new life in some other part of the world whenever people might catch on that he doesn't get older.

See how long I can make it before I get before people catch on that there's something not right and see where that takes me.

[HavokBlue]

When I was a newbie, I desperately wanted to spec-app a mutant desert elf that could burrow and had anakore claws instead of weapons.

The odds of that happening dawned on me and I gave it up.


But one day...

[whitt]

Like... every role call that comes up, when I'm loving my current PC?

[BadSkeelz]

I would have liked to experience House Tor on my first character.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

I wish I had played a Benjari when they were open. It seemed, from my experiences dealing with them from the outside, that they were or had the potential to be something awesome - right up my alley. The only tribal clan I ever wanted to play in.

I would have liked to have successfully played a full sorcerer too.

[Tetra]

Things I want to play:

an inanimate object that can speak to the person who holds me.

a bastard who actually isn't a bastard, but a child of a secret tryst and was never legitimized.

a blind painter that can make masterpiece portraits by touching someone's face.

a southern Templar that uses the power of song to destroy their enemies.

a mutant that can manipulate their own bones and skeletal structure(Wolverine?)

He'd be more likely to live if he could go to -200 stun.

Isn't that the definition of a bastard?...
