Achuak'Iejir Stormwind: Very much the devil on Crinukh's shoulder, if there's any character that would have ever tempted him to go fully to the dark side, it was her, and could have succeeded had things gone differently, perhaps. She was undeniably evil, but at the same time, one that could be sympathized with and even had something beautiful underneath it all, and it was something that could be related with even as she performed such five star villainy. Crinukh's friend, partner in crime, and always there for him when dealing with the most important of matters, up to the very end, even as they are so different and keep a lot from each other, I must say they've blossomed into a deep relation to one another.
Adalbrandt: The angel on Crinukh's shoulder for certain, becoming his friend was the best thing that ever happened to him, and losing his favor was the single most soul crushing thing that ever happened to Crinukh. He's had such a strong impact on the kobold, and what he is is something Crinukh looks up to, a representation of everything he'd want to be, but is too corrupted and dark to ever come close. He thinks of him a lot, and perhaps had things been different, Crinukh would have been his Best Kobold Buddy Forever. Alas,... he probably doesn't think much of the kobold considering what happened, but he means a lot to the kobold regardless.
Jharrik Ironguard: There's such a personality conflict between these two, and yet Jharrik's been a steadfast ally all the way through. Consistent and powerful, Jharrik's gruff and down to earth demeanor has been wonderful to play with, considering how Crin is sneaky and tends to see shadows in everything. They've been good business partners and industrial buddies (which also goes well since Crin has 0 business sense!). I think Jharrik's known Crin longer than most, and has definitely had an impact on the kobold.
Kiya Ashclaw: Kiya, Kiya, Kiya, Crinukh's seen her as a strong tribal leader, then was completely broken, then Crinukh was left with cleaning up the legacy left behind. They bonded so well when Kiya was most broken, and it broke Crinukh as well. Alas, Crinukh adored her, and wanted to finish that task and then take her away to cuddle puddle so much,... alas, Crinukh rarely seems to get what he desires. RIP Kiya. It broke his heart how it ended like that...
Versvesh Iriejir: Crinukh has a definite respect for the elderly kobold, and I've loved how they've traded knowledge, tales, and lore. He's been a good source of guidance and kin, dare I say even friend. He conferred with him much that he didn't share with almost anyone else, (though still kept secrets from him, heheh, Crin being who he is, alas).
Sabal: First a cautious acquaintance, to a cautious business partner, to partner in crime, Sabal came to Crinukh at an interesting time, after he felt like he'd lost the best thing he ever had... it's strange how they came to bond, and it took Crin a while to come to trust her, even when he did figure out some of the clues. But she was a sliver of moonlight in an endless night, which the kobold cherished. Dare I say she's one of the very few drow that Crinukh genuinely cares about, and with most he has a suppressed murderous hatred.
Vasiira Mae'Rahel: What a pair these two make. First the drowess was dismissive of the kobold, but they evolved into business parters and perhaps a bit more. Their "I'm surrounded by idiots!" conversations as well as their intellectual and theoretical research ones have been fun, and she's probably the second drow he genuinely cares about. Perhaps they could've delved into more research, despite their vastly differing approaches... alas...
Amadeo Pneuma: How these two came together is quite the tale, but he's one of the few surfacers Crinukh looks up to. Wise, patient, stoic, there's a lot about him which Crinukh admired, even if he didn't show it (or at least didn't show it clearly). Their personalities clashed wonderfully, Amadeo's mile of patience with Crinukh being dramatic, impulsive, chaotic, and often at the edge of a nervous breakdown all the time, they still went well together and Crin would actually do a lot for him if he ever asked...
Etana Faruq: They've only met twice and yet she's had an immense impact on the kobold. Kind, firm, persuasive, inspiring, definitely plays well that high CHA score, even managing to help an underdarker who's heart is in an abyss of darkness seek the light, it's amazing how dedicated she was when they first met, and the second time was amazing as well. While Crin thinks she's naive in the ways of the dark, he actually thinks very highly of her.
DM Wake: The man who ran the epic anticlimax of the quest Crin sought to complete for so long, you really rocked it. His nemesis was such perfect magnificent bastard, and you conveyed that feeling of "You are /so/ in over your head" beautifully. And I never expected it to be easy, but damn, you really know how to play a PC's weaknesses against them beautifully. I know you said you didn't want to do quests, but, more please? You played the devils so well, it was epic, and I think it would be enjoyed by our players.
Zodunossrotgevul: Crinukh's initial partner in crime, one that helped Crin become who he is and how he turned out, he wanted so much to help him however he could, and then.... Zod disappeared, and his work was left to him, slowly making him more focused and bitter. You know a character makes an impact when his absence feels like a bleeding wound that just won't close. RIP Zod.
Azuilah: Strange that these two got so well acquainted, a business parter and friend, in a way. Azuzu was so wicked but it's the kind that Crin could be friendly with, even have fun with, and without the constant desire to stab in the neck that a lot of those in the Underdark elicited from the kobold. These two got along strangely well, even if Crinukh did want to murder some of her acquaintances.
Gracielo Espada: I never thought Crinukh would have that much respect for a knight in shining armor, but it somehow happened, bonding over something entirely unexpected. He does have a respect for the guy, and Crin owes a lot to him. Even if the other half of the time Crinukh is muzzlepawing himself over the complete lack of discretionary skills.
There's others here, but it's been a pleasure. I'm still not sure if I'll have much time to come on in the future, or what I'll do with Crinukh, but keep it awesome guys. You've rocked, and I've enjoyed my stays on Arelith.
