Mentions from Aunilarra

Post by DirtyDeity »

Well! It's been a while since I've rolled up my first attempt at playing in the Underdark, and playing a Drow.

Thought it's about time for a few fond mentions to people who I've particularly enjoyed playing with, or had a significant influence on Aunilarra in Arelith.

First and foremost, Lucatiel Dermannes:
What a wild ride! The mix between a hopeful, ambitious little girl and a cruel, cold Drow has been a splendid and enjoyable one from start to present. And there's always something new that comes up with Lucatiel, just when you think you can FINALLY calm down and enjoy the show. I swear I'm sometimes concerned by your willingness to mess your character's life up. Thank you so much.

Kethan Xul'tarr:
Absolutely incredible. I've never been so impressed with a Wizard, and I've never been so impressed with a Drow male. And the combination of the two is -so- superb that I can't help but run around until I find you every time you're online. I'm having the time of my life with Kethan. I can only hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

Dantrag:
What a grump! Getting through to Dantrag took him several near-death experiences, a lot of shouting, arguing, punishing and stabbing, but things between him and Aunilarra have been developing in a way that seemed, even from the start, inevitable. Always a pleasure. Keep it up!

Morthos Z. C. (LOL Like I'm going to remember that one):
It feels like Morthos has always been Aunilarra's favorite chew-toy. Always delightful to torment and hound him, and try to mess with him incessantly. I'm extremely curious to see how things pan out between them, now that heat has simmered down.

Qorlun'nel:
Staight out of nowhere, but so impressive! I think what impresses me most about players is their initiative, to do more than just run through the daily routine of their characters, hanging out with their usual friends. Taking things to the next level to play out their character's ambitions. In this, my friend, you excel. Delightful!

Erelyne Xal'rae:
Almost like a guilty pleasure. Two characters that are fundamentally different, come from different backgrounds with different ambitions, and have every reason to be at each other's throats, and somehow their dynamics are so enjoyable, and they ended up getting along superbly, after a long period of complete dislike and derision. Thanks!

Bzaa-khorth:
HOLD UP WHAT'S THIS? An actual Duergar, and the most legit representation of the bitter, cruel race I've ever seen. This character is intimidating to even approach by the sheer grace of the player's impeccable character construction, eloquence, and skillful writing. Beyond that, innovative and interesting. One of those characters that just make you -want- to impress them. Thank you!

Tianae:
WHAT just happened? Probably my first actual slave-master relationship attempt, and I was absolutely hooked! I think we spent a good 4-5 days doing -nothing- but being with each other. It was superbly enjoyable, and had a big appropriate ending. I am wondering what will happen if they ever meet again.

Malixtra and Arakh:
These two go together, because I've had no extensive time to sit and enjoy either, but they've both been a shadow over Aunilarra's head and a major influencing factor since the first moments. Things go well or they go bloody, but these two individuals can NEVER be disregarded. Sometimes I just wish things are different so I could just sit down with either of you and enjoy your characters, without the ever present power struggle and tension of violence and death. But then again, I do love the tension.


That's all for me my friends. I hope my character is not rustling too many feathers, and is enjoyable to others who play with me as much as I enjoy playing with others. Have an excellent time on Arelith.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET Anec-kel Tarsys whose player is probably the most LEGIT roleplayer that has ever stepped foot on Arelith, who I admire and look up to, and didn't mention because our character interactions were very brief and Anec-kel is an INEPT FOOL.

I love you man, and every night in bed I dream you roll a member of my house and we take over Arelith together.

I had a great time with Aunilarra on Anec-kel Tarsys. It's rare to see a character who so unflinchingly makes personal sacrifices to move the greater narrative along; I'm sure it would have been much easier to play a kindly character with a great many alliances, but it certainly makes for a staler game world.

Harder still is to play a character who both drives narrative and is very inclusive, bringing in a great deal of roleplay with a wide variety of people. I think very many characters have heard of Aunilarra, and not all of them have friendly words about her or for her. All the same, she's left a unique imprint upon them, and I think that's the mark of a great character.

Edit: Also, it's true. Anec-kel never really succeeded a whole lot at the things he was supposed to be doing.

Anec was the best. Sorry to see 'em go. Huge Kudos!

Spent ten minutes trying to figure out what to write. Wrote it, deleted it since it wasn't 'enough'. Spent another five minutes- Wrote another thing, deleted it again.

Suffice to say it has been a blast, and I fail to properly express of how awesome it has been? Keep it going.
