Kiravias a.k.a. The Cardman AND Dev Team

Post by Bashagain »

"Forsooth, thou hast run a fowl of magic! Wilt thou stop bwaking around and give me a hen over hither?!" Shouted the armored knight to the chicken. To which, the chicken replied, "Bwak! Bwak!!!"

I confess that my favorite role play is the kind that happens on an adventure when the outcome is uncertain and the party is on the verge of annihilation at any given moment. Dungeon crawling alongside the character Kiravias was all that and more. With expertly descriptive emotes and completely immersive and believable dialogues the two hour session from Cordor to Malar Dungeon to Burrowhome was anything but routine. Kiravias is a thoroughly well played character with all the quirks and quips befitting a wild mage. The character's employment of cards as magic focus is a great touch since it resonates with the gamble of each magic casting. Simply put, Kudos to you, sir!

Wild Kudos to the INCREDIBLE developers who empowered the server to enable characters like Kiravias! I had a laughing fit when the Wild Mage unexpectedly turned into a chicken in middle of an intense combat to cluck about the battlefield or when a large boulder was summoned instead of a creature into the dungeon. Combined with the player's examplar role play, work of Arelith developers just shined. Just Awesome, guys! Pure genius!

Kiravias is an incredible character, and it was an absolute joy to scavenge his cards from the floor. His familiar may be the best depiction I've seen of one so far - terrible, boot-shaking fear and all. Please, please keep doing what you're doing, and I look forward to running into him again!
May you live in interesting times.

I need to do more stuff with him. Our characters were such a perfect chance meeting. Plus, he's just great in general.

Cards is a magical chap!

The depth of his and Zankas' RP always leave me pleased rain or shine. I feel RP like his encourages mine even further. I look forward to more interactions always with him.

Brendon finally met this fellow last night and Cardman had the poor bat scrabbling up walls to hide in keen malaise at the sheer horror of what he might pull from his deck next! It was brilliant!

The player and his RP is superb and he is definitely a gem to encounter!

Cardman's understanding of batty gestures and shrieks for communication needs some refinement though. But fear not, I feel that interpretive dance may help with his understanding :)

Cardman is an absolute blast. Really glad I ran into him at Guld' earlier. Was a fun walk.

D'awww, you guys.
I've been having immense amounts of fun playing Twisted Fate damnit! Gambit I mean Kiravias the Cardman, mostly due to the impressive array of reactions, from plain dumbfounded skepticism to awe, and the impressive array of characters, from sun-praising paladins to amorous bats.
Even, not knowing myself most of the time what may or may not happen (and letting other characters believe the same!) has proven infinitely amusing.

Hats off to you lot and Action Replay (and whoever else worked on the Wild Mage) for bringing a truly interesting class to play here.

Don't click weird links, kiddos.
