And that's all she wrote
It should come as no surprise to anyone that I'm putting up my first(?) and final Paige Kudos. It has been a long time since I've gotten so engaged and played a PC longer than my usual 4 month turn over, I think I got just shy of a year of Paige-Mileage, and really I want to come out here and thank the community for making it all possible.
Arcane Tower's old guard, (and returned guard!) for giving me a reason to try hard and do my best to make RP happen,
Everyone who has ever suffered through my events!
RICK SNYDER and EMILY AZURETIDE for being great supportive role models
ZATHLAN FEN'AR for being my rock, my supportive buddy, my bullspit shield
GARRETT KELSON, Paige's best friend, and strongest ally against the degenerates and intrigue
SOLVIEG. MY BUDDY.
DROSSAICO???? Unlikely confidant???!
KATALIN BERSK. The absolute UNIT. I have never seen anyone with such devotion and energy. You went out there with the steel chair and you EARNED the stage. That was the best arc I have ever seen. You shine on you crazy diamond.
MARCUS ORIVAN. Miss you buddy. Know I had to do it to 'em. You are the backbone of the library. you made it happen. You kept me going when I got tired with your endless enthusiasm.
CIARAN GRADY. I tell the beer bathwater story at parties dude.
DM SOLLERS. UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST TALENTED STORY-TELLING DM I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO EXPERIENCE.
Whistler the Kenku, this NPC deserves praise.
DIMITRIOS HAL-NYXOS, beep boop
CATALINA DE VALLIE, we got you at level 4 and it was a ride until the end.
BUPPI. I love buppi. I have always loved buppi. I am team buppi and I will die on this hill. I love the character development. His friendship to maintain IC was rewarding and fun and amazing. 10/10.
PERAM FLINT. friends? enemies? who knows. this guy has Pufferfish.
SYDNEY HARROW. you know what's up.
THE BANE BOYS.
Honestly I played paige so long it's all a blur, I hardly remember everything, but I want to to thank everyone who made my last arelith character a blast.
I took a long time sitting on my feelings to see how my emotions were going to pan out, after the wild, turbulent month of changes, updates, staff changes, policy changes, so on and so forth. I started my NWN experience on Arelith, its community have been my friends and support network through the majority of my life, through the good and the bad. I remember being a small, new, starry eyed player and looking on in awe of veteran players, all the plots and stories and things they did and hoping one day I'd be cool enough one day, people would talk about the wild things I made happen with the same fondness and joy.
I became a DM early on in my tour on Arelith, Mithreas gave me a chance despite my youth to prove myself. I don't know if I ever did, but boy howdy it was a wild ride. From the embarrassing mess that was Maplebox, to the slightly less mess of Quill, to my final iteration of Chiliad, it was my greatest source of pride to be able to say I helped manage and entertain this wonderful community. So, thank you all for suffering through with me, my player-side characters, my DM side unfinished plots like the wild hunt and the queens boys and everything else. Big ol thanks to the DM team over the years for being solid and, honestly doing the best they can with the tools they have to make this place run smoothly.
In my last few months, I know I've become toxic, bitter, salty, and so unhappy it's rubbing off on the people around me. It's not good for me, and it's definitely not good for the community. So it's time to say good bye and shove off to find a place that's a better fit for me.
I'll be around for a few days to tie up loose ends in game with paige, hand out goodies, say bye, and dissolve into meme dust. I'll be handing arelith 3.0 off to one of my modstaff there in a few days here, which will continue to remain up out of spite.
As Artos always said, "they'll be back", so maybe one day I'll return when I'm up for it. But for now, Arelith, my sweet, my first love. This is good bye. Thanks for the memories.

Sorry to hear that you're going, but you have to do what's best for you. You've made wonderful things here and, whether you eventually decide to come back or not, you should absolutely be proud of them.
Have fun out there!

Re: And that's all she wrote
With Paige, she was a fantastic character, and one of Garrett's few true friends. I don't think I can really summarize how great the story was and watching her grow as a character, so here's a bunch of screenshots and drawings. I'll provide URLs with some images that are too wide for the forum.
Paige's first class was fun.

And the Book Faire was wonderful.

We got to explore the spellhold. There are some interesting things in there.
Paige got some interesting speedies.
Some really interesting speedies.
But she was a good woman with wholesome interests. Like coffee.
And books.
And God.

I don't have nearly enough drawings of Paige sadly. I started an effort one, and then got sidetracked drawing Paige as an actual mage hound.
Sometimes she was angry.
But she always loved to come over for some spicy tea.
Thank you Tinfy for all of the RP. It was a pleasure playing the game with you.

Re: And that's all she wrote
You are my Arelith mentor. I joined the Azure after being on the server for one week and both you and Aergnist (Tserlog) took me under your wings and helped me every time I needed it.
To come back with Marcus and be able to “give back” was one of the coolest things, and his death was and still is one of my favorite RP moments.
Kudos to you, and thank you for all.

Re: And that's all she wrote
I think back to all those memories and know that on every character you've made, you have been one of the most inclusive story-tellers ever. Arelith is a bit smaller and a bit darker in your absence. Take care of yourself Jinxy, and I hope you come back someday with some new wacky character-idea that once more leaves their mark on Arelith history.

Re: And that's all she wrote
good luck in what you do!
Re: And that's all she wrote
Paige always made me laugh and I really enjoy characters with some flaws. I hope wherever you end up will be better for you but that you'll come back and visit sometime, Arelith loses a really good roleplayer!
I found this screenshot of their first meeting with an uinfortunately timed messenger.
