FAT KUDOS

Hey so Kelfein is a pretty fun character, I want to sling out some kudos to people that I really like.
Court of Creation dudes: Myiryn, Eliphas, Staff, Quadregatus and Carlo
You guys have a really sick mad-scientist magician aesthetic going on and I love it. Myiryn is great & adorably crazy, Eliphas is this super mysterious and foreign demonologist, Staff plays the "dickish mage-dude" really well, Quadregatus is unironically one of the most creative characters I've ever seen, and Carlo stands out by virtue of being the straight man; his relative normalcy in mannerism to the contrast of his generally wild peers is pretty cool. I like that a lot, actually, because it really drives home the point of how motley the rest of his faction is -- I don't think they'd "punch," so to speak, quite so hard were it not for Carlo.
House Rostaigne dudes: Ephrim, Elyzium, Gulmyr
I love these people. Ephrim is a legitimately menacing personality, Elyzium has "harley quinn" written all over her and I love that. I think a lot of Ephrim's intimidation factor stems from how flighty she seems at first glance (so to speak), but utterly and wholly devoted Elyzium is. Gulmyr's low cut shirt and weird obsession with corpses is cool, he has this absolutely cool, subtle lurking insanity vibe and I love it.
Maerwen Serenthal
I like this character a lot and I don't tend to like "lloth tlu malla" drow that much, so big props here. She's domineering, cruel and capricious; more importantly she is all of these things while simultaneously allowing for space and the growth of the characters around her. Big props. Also her interactions with Qaelan are a good time.
Nergyi Eizo
An incredibly deep orog character, which is a feat unto it self just by how sparse and lacking orog lore really is, but the player has taken it a step beyond and really fleshed out his character's culture and how it affects Nergyi's personality and beliefs, utilising real-world political ideas and concepts of the Warring States-era China. 100% rad.
Sabae Helvirret
Really one of the most fascinating characters I think I've ever seen, I can't say enough positive things about this character. Stands far and away as one of the most inventive and inclusive interpretations on Lolthite faith I've ever seen. The writing here is superb, like I said prior there's no shortage of compliments I could really layer on here. Brilliant stuff.
QAELAN
The lad.
Filatar
It's somewhat rare to see a warlock so utterly complacent about his status; most have at least a tinge of moping somewhere in there, or at least resentment to the fact they owe their powers to some higher (lower?) power. Filatar does not play to this stereotype, embracing his status wholeheartedly and with a general lack of fanfare. It's very fresh, to be succinct; plus he dresses well.
House Barrith: Rauvlin & Shairin
Last but not least, would like to throw out some praise for these two and their unique take on the lawful/chaotic aspect of drow.
