Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
Thank you for welcoming this strange young girl from the forest into the Shields. Ava will always remember disciplinary "hnghs" when she messed up big, fatherly support whenever she felt absolutely crushed by life and that one time she had to push him through the hole in the old workshop because his armor got stuck. he taught her how to rescue people stuck in holes.
Here's to a lot more years and more fun adventures. Remind her to take him fishing at some point!
You're awesome!

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
I next met him as Duster, by which time elements of that awkwardness were still present. He was still very much the same character but changed by time, experience and his duties.
I hope to meet him as my current and future characters if he is still around!

Derristan is awesome, you are awesome, and I can't name many who have had such an impact on my character and Guldorand/Westcliff in general. Listing everything memorable would take more pages than I am able to write.
See you in game!

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
I'm with Ivar's player in that I'm very glad that I've fully read the whole thing. When I saw the post, my heart was seized for a moment with dread, but hot dog I'm glad that I was wrong.
Derristan's always been someone I'm delighted to roleplay with. Never have I seen someone so effortlessly pull of the "Grandpa to All" position so well while also being a proper Military Commander. He was someone that Cheryl had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for, and someone Gwen sees as a pillar of Guldorand, the sort that will keep holding up long after the man himself is gone, though she's very glad that he's not gone yet.
Keep on keepin' on, Derry bear!

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
Interium,
It WHOLLY brightened my day, when I would get to log in and Derristan was already online, cause I knew I was going to have a fantastic time in Arelith today!
I got to experience Derristan, mostly through Thekla, and they fell into a mentor/mentee roles. And it was such a beautiful relationship they had. Lot's of laughs, tons of tempers, plenty of playfulness, many memorable moments. Ultimately I feel spoiled by having had enjoyed so much of your time.
If I never took the proper time to thank you for your In-game/Out-of-Game friendship, I'm sorry. Looking back, at time spent on Arelith, the time spent with Derristan I truly treasure.

I had the pleasure of interactions with Derristan from a variety of my long-time toons: Shihar, Aphia, and Dewmist. All a bit different, yet all positive. Well done to you.

Very late to the Party, but Derristan is one of my favorite Characters to interact on my first character as well, Bjorn Thor'kin. Thanks for the memories, my guy!

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
Interacted with a young Derristan on one of my old characters yeeears ago, but unfortunately never much since. Whenever I see his name online it always brings a little smile.
Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
I don't play as much as I used to, and I've not interacted TOO much with him but I've always enjoyed my interactions with Derristan, regardless of toon played.
I hope you and Cal enjoy your handsy-relationship together in your growing years, from the Stuttering Moon Elf

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
To hop on the bandwagon here, Derristan is an amazing character. I am honored and feel quite privileged that he is still in Diana's life, and dare I say it, perhaps even a bit closer with her now than in her days serving Guldorand. A constant bright light of the server, both as a character and as a player. Thank you for all you do and all you are.

We don't deserve nice things.
But we got Derristan Barley.
My appreciation, over many characters, cannot be stated in this message.

Re: Thank you from Derristan Barley
I had such a great time interacting with Derristan over the years, especially as Glace Canon. Derristan gave him a sense of belonging at the Shields for years! Thank you for roleplaying such an excellent character!
