The Marshal

Post by Emotionaloverload »

I had a lot of fun with this character. Even though I tend to think that Bendir Dale shouldn't be its own settlement, I always find a way back on a hin and have lots of fun. Of course, I picked the concept equivalent of Hardmode for this race but I really enjoyed taking a very traditional hinnish religious approach to every interactions, preaching and working for unity and bringing back punishments to the Dale (even if half were against her on almost all of that). One thing that surprised me most during this story was getting to be the moral standard with Birdie (I didn't expect to beat out the paladin :p ).

Most Influential:

Red Highfen: I had a blast rebuilding the Hawkin' with Red and working on the many many projects they did together. They argued all the time, in their own way, and each always thought their way was the right way. If not for him, she would never have become a defender of the Gnomes like she did. He is a darling and I adored getting so much rp with him.

Buppi (Swordhill): I love this character so much. The two started out butting heads endlessly with their bad social skills but in the end they came together. It was lovely to see Buppi embrace some of her principles in the end. I absolutely enjoyed watching them become clansmen.

Ghest/Thane/Sir: Good heavens, the two of them were besties. The Thane was one person she could rely on to always have the same moral view and always be on the exact same line of the same page of the same book as her~ I utterly love him. He is my favourite dwarf of all time.

Alexander Swordhill: I have a love/hate relationship with this character. Whenever Birdie needs him to pull it together he seems to break down into tears or just go and do the opposite of what she thought was best. Their union was a rollacoster on fire 90% of the time. I never knew who to feel bad for between the two of them on any given day. Its tough to play functionally, emotionally unstable but Alex pulls it off like a true Swordhill.

Roland Asen: I love Roland and the player is always wonderful and accommodating with me. These two built the strangest relationship that I have ever rp'd. It was weird and wonderful and I will miss it dearly.

Most Fun:

Celia Underbough: Good grief, this character makes me laugh OoC all the time with her IG antics and actually made Birdie laugh twice IG. She is the best Scamp the island has ever seen and I will miss her terribly.

Tepher Dapple: This is hands down my favourite hin. He is such a screw up but Birdie always believed in him. It was because of him that she managed to bring back so many traditions about punishment. He is silly and a mess but I love it.

Queen Fini: I'm in love with this character. She is charming and bullheaded and just the best lady dwarf I have ever seen.

Ruby Dapple: This is hands down my favourite Mayor that Birdie has had to watch over. She insecure and patient and kind - she made Birdie love working for her. She will truly be a great Mayor and I hope she has many more terms of fun!

Warden Smith: <3! So much love for this character. Red may have been the foundation of Birdie's Gnomen love affair but Smith helped her reach being willing to die protecting them. He is a wonderful example of how you can still do amazing things with an otherwise reclusive race.

Priestess Mae: Although they never had a lot of time together, I loved every bit of rp they had. It was a beautiful (albeit distant) connection between two allies that started the moment Birdie arrived.

Grymsur Rhek: I love this dwarf to bits. Rhek is full of life and whenever Birdie even has half an excuse to see him, I hunt him down fast. Absolute best.

Super Kudos (and *Hugs!*) to all the area designers for making such a beautiful.

((To anyone and everyone I missed. I'm so sorry! My (garbage) notes are filled with IC work.))

I've already gotten two songs sent in for Birdie or to Birdie. Let me hear yours, if you have any.

I hate you so much. This is twice now your characters have died before Buppi. Never forgive.

Nope. I don't believe it. Not real. Birdie was excellent.

You and your ability to create characters that are so very believable... Might start to get the impression the excellence is yours.

Never was there a dull moment between Birdie and Grym from strange grove rp to conducting patrols.
She was someone Grym could count on to always be there and was truly in his eyes(and mine) a paragon of her race. Someone he looked up (or down ; short reference :P) to.
She will be sorely missed as will the constant interactions we had. I hope to see you on as another toon soon!

Oh, just great. Dylo's guilt is set in stone now.

But, seriously, that's what you do with your characters, EO, is encourage others to open up new dimensions in their characters. And, that's why you're one of my favorite NWN players of all time. Please, don't make us wait too long to enjoy your next incarnation.

Looks like Bird got "whiplashed". Tepher will make that joke in game someday. Tepher will have endless poses and flexes for your next character be it tallie or underdarker

Finibelle with be completely heartbroken for one moment then in a livid rage the next. Someone will pay for taking away one of her strongest supports.

You are a wonderful rper and I appreciate how much you work you do to include others. You will be deeply missed.

Birdie was the best mayor babysitter! I can't believe she's gone and when I found out my heart was absolutely broken, Ruby will never stop blaming herself. You are so~ amazing at playing your characters, I learned a lot by playing with you and I'll miss Birdie so much! So much love, I can't wait to see what the future holds.. Thank you so much for the time you invested in me and Ruby, and holding my hand half the time. I don't know what I would have done without you!

(I don't know what Red and Ruby are going to do now, who's going to teach their little brats how to hold a door?! Someone has to!)

Took the words right out of my mouth!

I'm always delighted to see you online, and more so when you have a character that's story intersects with Nicodemus' tale.

I had hoped to dig a little deeper with Birgitta, but was glad for the time as it was...and by now with all your other incarnations I'm sure you've got the jist of most of Nic's tale...however I'd be glad to retell for another concept! Except for an underneathers....eww, icky poo...

Life is always an interruption to our little method of escape on our beloved Isle, but it's usually here when time allows...don't be a stranger!
