I'm not gone, or rolling. But I would like to make some special thanks to people as I rest the character for now and recover from the intensity of playing him.
I'm not going to list too many people. But Victor had an actual list, because of Szorn, that featured everyone close to him in whatever weird ways those were.
Raktus Ironhorn. It's not over yet. We're going to kill everything when all had come back to where it belongs.
Actually, you dig your own grave, you can live in it.
Szorn. You sweet summer prince. My god, you took the literal edge off of roleplaying such an intense character. I loved that declaration. And I decided to just accept it. Szorn is number three. That acceptance worked perfectly in reverse. And what was revealed between the two was intriguing.
Zaeryl. Yeah. She stole Kalanerin's spot. Sorry bud. Yeah. Victor even told her so. I'm so sorry you're only finding out in the Zaeryl section of my kudos thread. By the way, you're great. That's to Zaeryl, not Kalanerin. Zaeryl is an unexpectedly subtle character. Her place on this list is no light thing after a number of their interactions.
Kalanerin. Hey buddy. Yeah, I know. Victor put you at five. But at least he considers you on his list! You're actually where it ends When it comes to being close to Victor, I'd say Kalanerin and Victor's relationship is perfect. As always, I refuse to call anyone his friend. But Kalanerin is someone he gets to actually talk about...not insane shit with. And that's worth something.
Now for some special mentions.
Yael: What a cool character. Their interactions were intriguing. She was always very laid back, and just kind of not difficult for someone overly complicated like Victor to talk to. There was no veils. They didn't seem to need them. And oddly enough out of anyone in Andunor who he identified with the work ethic of, it was her. Victor does drugs for ritual purposes exclusively. Rarely drinks. And barely friendships it up. Yael is someone I'd like to roleplay with a lot more.
Khorin: I'm your number 1 appraisal customer, come on. You know why you're on this list. You know how much you made me in gold.
Ner'enthis, and the Shadowclaws: Crafting senpai. Ner is a keen character with a lot of patience and experience and that shows. Victor literally didn't know how to craft to make money before he met them. And he became an actual merchant thanks to their guidance.
The Cabal: Y'all are so crazy. Holy hells.
The Temple of Lloth: From conflict to companions in battle to who knows what else from here. The members of the Temple have played an unexpected role in Victor's life, from challenging him to do better out of spite, to working directly alongside them and often times at their command. Victor was like a ravenous dog when he came into the city. Starving, bloody, violent, incapable of self-control. The Temple and it's associates have all seen this Victor, and they have also in a way been with him for the whole ride to where he stands now. In a way, this part is dedicated to a lot of people, even people not apart of the Temple anymore. You know who you are.
I could probably go on and on, list a million more names, kudos Lilith, Johnathan, Mhais, every single Abyssalist, the gobman who taught me about the stars, but...
That's way too much effort right now. And, in a way, I see things as the books or arcs in a characters life. To thank everyone from arc 1 would be an otherworldly endeavor. Arc 2 is over, and 3 is set to begin in due time. For now, take it easy folks. I'm still taking some time off, and I definitely need it after the tragedy of all these roleplay storylines coming to an end I was tied to. Knowing I won't be able to continue certain rps and plotlines at this time is quite a vicious thought to contend with but I still hope to continue playing him yet.
Also, for real, thank you all. I couldn't even list all the different people Ive loved roleplaying with and why. I could say the Legion, and pick out Muck, Jugvun, and Badoc especially, I could say the Red Tower, the Arcanum for Zayd most of all, I could keep going...!
So don't feel left out. You're all insane and incredible and I'm practically avoiding posting spoilers just to talk about how amazing some people are.
