...And to the Dust we shall return.

[Jack Oat]

Well, with Leo's passing comes the time for kudos galore!

Leo was easily one of my favorite characters to have played, and I feel honored that I got to partake in such amazing roleplay. These kudos go out in no particular order, and may be a bit lengthy, but here goes:

Morgan Gracehold: Oh. My. God. If ever there was a character I LOVED roleplaying with, it's them. The perfect arch-nemesis, the perfect enemy, the perfect confidant. It all went so perfectly.

Uriah Lefevre: And if there were ever a better ally, I can't think of them! Every moment with Uriah was a twist and turn, a wild ride that made every experience better than the last.

Lucia Malveaux: Another great nemesis. This person was just perfect as who they were-- insane. Absolutely insane.

Aldrick Armstrong: Leo's Squire... Oh, man. That's gonna hurt. An excellently played character!

Rannos Susidian: Contrary to what Rieper says, Leo LOVED this guy! Thought of him as a true brother, and each and every interaction was an absolute blast.

Adalbrandt: A steadfast semi-rival of Leo's for so many IG years.

Amadeo Pneuma: Kudos even in death, but Izaich really DID out-do himself.

Daijin Helefnarian: No, really. Kudos even in death. The number of interactions Leo and Daijin had were somewhat limited, but each memorable.

Shallan Alvere: One of the many Knights of the Road on this list, Daijin was an amazing person to interact with. From conversations of philosophy to shirtless drinking (on Leo's part, anyway), it was all fun!

Scout Merryweather: One of the more recent interactions, Scout was a blast to get to RP with. Shame they won't get to have their words now, however unpleasant they might've been!

Mary Blythe: Oh, so few interactions, but each well worth it! Definitely another worthy foe of Leo's.

Nikolaus Snyderthen: Oh man. This guy. This guy right here. Always getting into trouble, always getting Leo to help fix it. This guy.

Jenna Le'len: One of the old-caste of playing with Leo, Jenna was a HUGE impact and an amazing character. Not the only character of this player's on this list, either. Says something about their RP quality overall.

Abigail Lehein: Amazing. Every time, just... Amazing. A bit older of a kudos, but still fitting and worth it.

Ahriman Temeluchus: One day I will make a character as good as this. One day. Ahriman was truly the musketeer the Isle deserved.

Rance Fullbrook: Leo loved this guy about as much as Rannos. Awesome character, awesome player! Hope to see more of him!

Ann Thrule: A steadfast, jaded warrior and foe to Leo! She put up with his shenanigans of Paladinly Righteousness to an extent, but even she had her limits! An awesome character, an awesome player, and many awesome interactions.

I'll keep this updated as I think of more names, but thank you ALL for the opportunity to play Leo!

wait what happened

[Miaou]

Buppi will miss you, and be sad you never got to teach him anything. Another person he looked up to, gone.

(Leo was the best, by the way)

[Commissar]

Alas poor Leo, we hardly knew thee.

Teresita's interactions with Leo were fairly fleeting, and that's more the shame - because what was there was great fun. Leo was a well-realised character, someone who actually felt like a human being beneath the armour and the righteousness, rather than a cardboard cut out with 'DUTY' stamped on the back. I'm super glad Leo passed on roleplay-rich terms by the sound of it, and I'm not sure whether I'm looking forward to seeing the fallout or which character you're rolling next more. Thanks for the good times!

Besides, it's not like Teresita needed a positive influence anyway.

*Flails angrily* I knew those wands weren't going to help.

Gosh darnit. I was just starting to have more scenes with Leonard. : ( He will be missed.

-S

[Aelryn Bloodmoon]

Banquo was one of those characters Ast idolized - they didn't interact a ton, but he had a (probably more than realized player or character-wise) very large influence on Astarial's early life on Arelith. Banquo confirmed something for Ast that it's often easy to forget- there are others out there like him who care about the difference between Right and Wrong, and they aren't afraid to keep caring when it Becomes Difficult- which it ALWAYS will.

Sad to see the character go, but looking forward to hearing about it IC. There are so few left from the time Ast first stepped off the boat...

[Tarkus the dog]

Leonard was an example to what a good man should be and both myself and Nik will miss him.

Thanks for involving Nik in his life, it means a great deal to me.

[The Crusade is back on, boys]

Enemy...

[Rodent]

It is my regret that I only happened to start playing towards the end of Leo's life on Arelith, which limited the amount of interactions we had. Shallan looked up to him, as a wise influence who also knew when to cut loose and lean back. He was not completely bound in duty, and that was an incredibly humanizing aspect.

With his passing, the balance tilts in the eternal fight between and good and evil aligned characters, and I hope that someone will step up to fill the big void that has been left behind. I look forward to seeing your next creation, Jack.

leo my man

[Conversations With Your Car Alarm]

Leo my man and Uriah, you two are boss level heroes, monster players, conflict pushers, and aces in mine and Mary's book. It takes a special kind of person to play "Good" guys that are willing to shake the world up like you two were capable of doing. Thank you for the fun.

[Yma23]

Damnit - shouldn't have taken that break. Oh well - Leo was awsome. Fantastic good guy, really sorry to see him go.

[Aodh Lazuli]

Much as Rodent said. Edrahil respected (and even liked) the character. It's a shame I didn't have a chance to interact all that much.

[CoastalSurf]

How come it seems like whoever tries to teach marya about the triad dies soon after.

I smell conspiracy

[Batrachophrenoboocosmomachia]

Enemy...

[Cortex]

why cant we all be friends

[Ork]

About time.

[boggle99]

What he's dead!? Karla AKA RIck Woodsman is still going on about this cyricist that thinks he is a tormian. Leo was a good character and you are a fun player, its a shame I only got a couple of interactions with Leo and only one big one but it was worth it, just think right now he is discovering who he has really been praying to all these years... Hope to RP with you on your next toon.

[Hypnagogic Phosphene]

Nooo. That's so sad. Leo was such a great personality. You will be playing still, right?! *Hopeful.*

And Uriah too?!

[andthenthatwasthat]

Really?! I go away for like a week and this happens? This hurts, man. I had high hopes about RP between Leo and Obren.

I already said what I had about Leo. Looking forward to your next character!
