What was the Race/Guild of your single favorite character (that you played)?
Just curious, and dead PCs only, please.
(Human/Ranger comes to mind in my case).
Dwarf/warrior.
Human/Merchant

Mul/Ranger
D-Elf Ranger
D-Elf Warrior

Human/Nilazi
Hard to pick a favorite out of that bunch. I was pretty unhappy with every single character's end too.
Both of these are long dead.
For me I think it was either Sgt. Dagaz/Dagez which was mul/warrior in the Byn or Lord Commander Kratuk Tor. Both PCs I will never forget and would love to have another that touched me like they did. I havent played much as of late but the only reason is, for the most part, I'm being too picky on what I want to do for a change, heh.
Anyone remember either of those? I wouldn't mind hearing any thoughts on them via PM and, as I said, they (and anyone else from that time) are long dead.
As an after thought, I also had another mul which had some really cool play. He is actually the one featured in the story called... "Eems the raider" or something along those lines. That little girl was cute :P
Warrior/bard.
Human Ranger followed by Human Pickpocket.
Half-elf/warrior/mercenary
Another vote for Elf/PP.
Blood, an assasin/??? I really can't remember....a rinther elf who managed to get into some orgs...but was horrible, a screwup. Probally my favorite character, I'd purposely mess up when I should've been assasinating peole. That was awesome.
And my next favorite would've been Kahn, a militia sergeant an assasin/guard somehwat IC info:halfelf from the rinth... (seriously, he was, I never expected that. He had a southern accent he 'learned' and...I was drafted...it was insane. Sudden...forced almost. He went from being threatened and bullied to being offered a job, and was instanly clanned, within 2 hours playing time. Very, VERY, ironic, because the pc right before him was tailored specificially to be in the militia. And was told he was too young. Then this one...a breed from the rinth...within 2, it was amazing.
made it to sergeant. I had an awesome time with that character...never go the leader tag and the coded ability to drag a couple halfgiants around with me...that made me sad. /me spouts about too many pc templars and not 'needing' it.
Those were some awesome characters, not only from the roles that they played and the ability I had to get into character, but because of the players around me. They were what made the game great, and some of you know who you are, some of you might not.
Also, the magicker/whatever...ecking out an existence sifting psice, chopping wood, or being a merchant. I've developed a fondness for occupations that have absolutely no coded skills. I like that.

Remember you!
Mine? A certain assassin of course. Race confused one. Nothing is better. Eva'!
I'd have to say one of my favorites was OOCly nicknamed The Silver Silt Surfer... human ninja/awesome (assassin).
Then there was the human warrior chick, but she was mostly awesome because of who she hung with.
Then all my d-elves... of which there is no favorite class. You don't need a class with a d-elf, they're classier than any damn roundear hands down.
Half-giants...
Argh, I can't choose.
human warrior
Consistently, human warriors played as a general rough and tumble type have had the most interesting lives in my experience.
Two -
Human/Warrior/Hunter but only because he lived a long time as an indy, and has a bad back, grumbling about it all the time.
Half-elf/Burglar/Thug (rinthi) But only because I was RPing with some class acts. I was so pissed when he died.
Human ranger
2nd-halfbreed pickpocket
Either a human assassin or an elf pickpocket. Incidentally, neither ever assassinated or picked pockets.
Half-elven ranger.
Human warrior/bard.
Probably...
Half-elf / burgler / thief up in tuluk when liscensing for theft and assassination was just starting. He trashed a few apartments and knew just about everything about everyone, and where to get anything that you might need. Quite possibly the most powerful half-elf in the north while he lived, got more than one person killed for stepping on his toes.
Next would be a dwarf/warrior/thug who worked for Salarr way back when the Allanakis occupied Tuluk. Right after the Sun King took over he tried to sell a nakki tabard in his own store and was cut down for it by the sun kings soldiers... never did try to get him resurected for that little bug, something I used to regret.
(--Long-- time ago, nothing secret) Another Human / assassin / warrior who worked for Salarr way back when and eventually became a Sergeant if I remember right. While visiting 'Nak his boss went missing so he set out to find his killer, stalking all sorts of higher-ups and finding things out before making a move at who he thought would know alot about it. He got into a house and confronted two of the suspects, they still drew blades and wouldn't tell him anything so he proceeded to whoop on them, nearly killing them both before a guard came down the stairs who he also nearly killed. Three people attacking my one little assassin for about fifteen minutes, while my assassin was jumping around the place throwing daggers and now fighting for his life, having lost control of the situation. They eventually got him, but that was likely one of my best deaths. Including everything leading up to it and the actual moment when he fell.
And of course, my current character is by far my favorite.
Just a few among a vast group of favorites... be good to Armageddon and it will be good to you.
Number two would be - Human/Warrior - He actually hung out with -both- of TLH's favorite characters. 8)
But my all time favorite was a human/warrior/BYNFORLIIIIFE!!! Val, was his name, and he rocked faces until the elves got him. He was my favorite, and also my longest lived so far. I still have his approval email... :)
-WP
1. Elf/burglar/thief
2. Elf/assassin/thief
3. Human/ranger/crafter
Merchant, man!
Look at all those awesome things you can craft. Never run out of fun when you're playing a crafter.
Human ranger.
Depends on the ideas I have for the PC.
So I don't have an established favorite class or subclass.

This thread is about favorite characters that you played and already lost, not favorite combinations in general. :)
Alright.
My favorite character was an elven pickpocket thug that was a southern-southern allanaki and died to a half giant festival in the sewers.
Half-giant/anything.
I enjoy playing the fool, and with a HG, no-one dares show disdain towards you ;)
A mul/warrior I had in the Byn a little over a year ago I believe. Don't want to say his name as it hasn't been that long ago, but I imagine some will know who I am speaking of. Longest character I ever had..I believe he lived six months RL. Was tough playing a slave role that long but the group we had in the Byn at the time was so much fun to play with. Tlaloc is a great Imm and everyone should play a character in the Byn at least once. I just didn't feel like doing much at all the day he died...first time I actually got really depressed about a character's death.
Hard to pick because the roles were so different but if I had to:
#1 elven 'rinther/burglar/bard
#2 half elven ranger/nomad based in the Tablelands
i always made a southern elf that hunted scrab or a norther elf that was a lumberjack and hunted everything even tembos and bahamets when i hade tribal elf friends.
Halfling ranger
Half-giant burglar, you could steal a wagon, and the gypsies with it.
*sniffle*
Please, I'd really like to be alone for a while.
Human merchant (all time favorite)
Elven assassin (rinthi)
D-elf elementalist (clanned in one of the tribes)
Rabid little man-beast merchant.
In order...
Dwarf ranger/armorcrafter
human pickpocket/thief
human rukkian/stonecarver
half-elf drovian/bard
h-giant warrior/house servant
d-elf rukkian/hunter
h-giant ranger/? (Uh I don't remember the subguild but anyway, I didn't use much skills for this one. A wandering h-giant ranger is always fun)
human elkrosian/bard
Human warrior/ physician who worked as a battlefield medic...he died from the stupidest thing.
Mutant human assassin/weaponscrafter
Human warrior/thug who blazed through an HRPT in glory and survived with sheer luck when he should have died about 2000000 times.
My favourite character was a Guilder who lived for nearly 2 RL years and got involved in some fun stuff and dealt with just about everybody. He was an assassin / thug but I never really practiced or used any of his skills at all. On top of that he had really crappy stats. I was always worried that some newbie warrior would pick a fight with him someday and absolutely murder him so I generally had him tarted up in stuff to make him look like he'd been around the block a few times. He got out of some serious scrapes before dying most ignominously though perhaps appropriately.
I had a great time with my Krathi / Bard gemmed elementalist too. Was a completely different pace to the Guilder and has really got me hooked on magickers - I'm looking forward to playing some more of them.
I generally only play humans as I find it difficult to get into the mindset of other races properly though I think I could maybe play a HG alright.
I think I LIKE rangers....
Now If I could live for a bit without some special apps character whacking me :)
A human/warrior I played in the Byn, around the same time as the mul waroth played, I think. He didn't live too long, but his Northern attitude while transposed in the south was really fun to play, and created some real good RP.
My all time favorite, still, is a certian mul/ranger who couldn't speak. I was in more plots with that character than I have been in with any character since or before him.
My current character is pretty fun too.
1st: D-elf/Ranger/Scavenger who didn't speak any language but her own nonsense. I got to do some really interesting emotes with that one, like licking people's hands and sniffing their butts. It was a lot of fun.
2nd: D-elf/Ranger/Thug who had a demented penchant for finding creative ways to explore the anatomy of things. Also had no regard for authority. And was extremely racist. Basically a prick all around, and a hell of a lot of fun. :)
Woot to d-elfs!
Since I'm sitting at home today with my sick daughter...I'll throw my hat in.
Most memorable character is probably a Rinthi Warrior/Thug who probably has many a bastard child out there, and probably was my largest PKer ever. He was just a lot of fun to play.
My most intriguing character was a Sorc/Warrior (and pretty shitty on the Warrior side). I started him young and he really didn't get very far on the Sorc side for the six months I played him, but the discovery of his skills was cool, and his development as a person was great as well. I still curse the Templar who goaded him into the Arena. I was cheated, I tell ya! Cheated!!!
There is always tomorrow.
Half-elf ranger. Had one in Kurac about two years or so ago. Probably my most fleshed-out character ever, as when I played him it always felt like he was a real person (albeit messed up in the h-elvish way). Still haven't gotten over that one quite yet.
My all time favourite was a pickpocket/ I forget, but he had the best luck ever. He was possibly the worst thief in Arm history but he was never once jailed (some bug I guess) and he lived through the mantis HRPT while holding a longsword in two hands (ya he was about below average in all of his stats) but then got killed by a bard.
A certain Byn Lieutenant that was addicted to sex and couldn't make sound out hard letter sounds like "k."
Quote from: "Maybe42or54"A certain Byn Lieutenant that was addicted to sex and couldn't make sound out hard letter sounds like "k."
Ahh yes I remeber him, you can't help but feel sorry for all those elven girls...
A certain disease-ravaged half-giant that wandered the world, worked with the Guild, avenged the death of a friend by decimating an entire tribe of d-elves, massacred a Unit of Byn who were hired to destroy him, and sparked many a controversial thread on the GDB about the use of subdue... :shock:
Man, those were the days...
Oh, I also had tons of fun with a short-lived, elderly, blood-sucking Templar. Sometimes the shortest lived characters are the most fun.. But if I were to pick, the HG takes the cake for most enjoyable.
:twisted:
You know how every once in a while, you get really lucky, and get involved in an RPT where your humble soldier character faces off against some being of ultimate evil?
Yeah, well, this character faced off against three of those.
He was a human warrior/mercenary in the Byn, a meat-and-tubers 'Nakki loyalist who, when I apped him, was basically a write-off. He ended up being my longest lived character ever, and the stuff he saw (and fought) was insane. I mean, if you had even the slightest idea...
Trained under Sujaal, right hand man to Akasha, he was a grizzled old fart by the time he made Sergeant and died a very fitting death for Bynner (and no, he didn't fall off the Shield Wall).
A close second was my human/gemmed magicker/stone carver. He was more recent, so I won't give as many details. He was fun because I love magick. I create sorcerors and necromancers and druids in every game I play, and Arm was no exception. It was such a thrill to be able to finally play one in a game as great as Arm, and have that whole other realm of possibilities open to me. Short-lived though he was, he left me chomping at the bit to play another magicker.
Human/ranger
half-elf/ranger
delf/ranger
delf/ranger
Yes I like rangers :)
My most fav was a human/burglar
and other one was human/warrior.. Tor rocks :D
Quote from: "eska the horny turkey"and other one was human/warrior.. Tor rocks
You liked your human warrior because you tried to get any PC you've seen to bed, you pervert!
My first one the one I'm playing now ^_^
Elf Sorcerer. (Bard to most of the public.)
Human Merchant after that.
Human... Burglar.
Hah. I've had a 72 day character, a 50 day character, and a 38 day character, with those races and guilds.
HG merchant/thug
D-elf Nilazi
I'd have to say human/noble - she was loud, fat, always joking around and one of those characters you can login and feel no stress about anything with.
I'd also have to say delf/ranger, long long ago. Much fun, my second character and learned a lot with her.
human assasin
elf pickpocket
half-elf elkrosian
human assasin was one of my first characters ever, had I not played that character I doubt I'd still be playing the game.
