'Nyaa' is dead. She died alongside the love of her life, although she was never mentally capable of telling her how she felt. :cry:

CN wrote:Finally, he died alone. Unsurprising, but eerily self fulfilling prophecy. He'd started out as a new spawn on a coastal town he never gave a second thought to. Ran off and met a woman that told him they were together and eventually, he did grow fond of her and love her. Then he met his best friend, the single constant of his mature life. He gave up his leadership role to be near his best friend when his love passed away. It was the happiest years of his life living in her town. Something about her just resonated perfectly with something about him and they were inseparable. When he died he found himself locked away in his house alone and reflecting over how much he had lost and thinking of all the people he had loved while regretting he couldn't save them. In his misery, his best friend broke in, as always, a mental reminder that she was this one golden, immaculate thing that he
had not ruined and that was the reason for the smile when his heavy heart gave out. Unbeknownst to him, his best friend was herself dying elsewhere nearby. Just as well, they wouldn't have been able to live without each other, something they'd joked about but knew to be true. Sylar Michael Benedikt.

A character of mine saw Sylar (or Michael, as we called him because Merci hated the name 'Sylar') die. I am not sure where exactly he was, but he was visible from the town. Merci was also visible, so the two could see each other. Neither had spoken or moved for a very long time. Reading the account above, someone might get the impression that Sylar had been imprisoned against his will and cut off from communication with Merci and the world, and that is false.

They both (Merci and Skylar/Michael) died from a heart attack just hours apart, after sleeping for a few years. They were both outside in QFN if I haven't completely lost it. I do not know if that was their plan, or just coincidence, but it was a sad day in town.

Even though its probably not the best story, it's definitely the most interesting for me out of my characters. So I spawned a new woman in a popular area, and she gathered some things and headed on her way. This is because she was secretly a psycho woman and couldn't "properly" carry out her evil plans with a bunch of people around. By the way i made her name Namow Yzarc, backwards for "crazy woman." She eventually ends up in this deserted area with one guy (I forget his name) who had a bunch of tools and resources and planned to be the leader of this area and create a town. There were several deserted buildings. Namow is friendly with him and eventually we become "friends" when this other girl around our age comes to the town. After a few days Namow and this girl both start to find this guy extremely annoying and he was claiming he was the leader, when my character wanted to be leader. Also, we each got our own house, and the guy locked all of the valuable resources in his house! The guy went into his house, and Namow an the other girl come up with a plan. We were going to trick him into my house and then I will use my key and lock the door! A few days later, he comes outside and I tell him I need help with making something, and the moment he enters my house, I lock the door! Me and the girl plan to kill him off, get his keys and all of his tools, so each day we take turns hitting him. But then sadly, the other girl forgets to feed herself and DIES!! Namow was very upset over that, so she had to finish killing the guy on her own. Then even more sadly, I forgot about cantr for a while, and my character eventually Namow died. So that's my story But so much evil went to waist lol. It was definitely entertaining to play her though.

Escila Morietti. For me, it has been one of the most loved characters, although perhaps the one with the worst life. She spawned in a spanish city who had suffered a pirate attack, and was gradually rebuilt. It was a large and united city. She was a couple with the leader of the city, who soon sicken of sleep. Bad people began to appear. Most visitors came to steal.. She obtained the position of peacemaker, and years later was engaged to cook for citizens.
The leader of the city died of a heart attack, and his things were stolen. She was depressed, and began to be alone in the city. Some time later he met a man who helped her come out of her depression and begin to be happy, even in the city there was almost no one. The new couple began experiencing sleeping sickness and Escila was only dedicated to helping visitors without receiving anything, and keep her town and her garden in good condition.
One day came a guy who wanted to build the sails of his boat; Escila was proposed to help, but she fell asleep in the harbour... sad mistake. Hours later came a group of pirates who dragged to Escila to his boat. After three days trying to escape from the ship, she was cruelly murdered.
Escila Morietti.. a worthy woman who never stopped fighting for her city.
Rest in peace :|

I think I knew Escila, if only briefly.
Actually, I think she rescued my character after she was locked up in the food pantry. Which was ironic but still very annoying. Or something like that. lol
I haven't been around that area in RL years.

:O
I remember that! She was locked up by thieves who killed a resident asleep and stole his keys.
She managed to lock up the murderer, although his companion fled!

Bill Boonton of Nraam. I just could not figure this guy out. Was he insane, or just blinded by hubris? I'm tempted to want to say he was just plain stupid, but his player clearly wasn't, and playing a truly stupid character (i.e. a character that does things to decrease their life expectancy rather than a character of low intelligence) is probably one of the hardest things to accomplish, so that's why I'm tempted to think there was some deep-seeded pathology haunting him.

You shouldn't have run, Bill. Odds are you would have wound up as Ruby's chew-toy, to the amusement of many.

I really started getting confused about him too, but indeed, I feel like there was something I was missing, not something truly wrong. It's a shame he died. For many reasons.
Don't remember where I was - I realized life was a game - The more seriously I took things - The harder the rules became

I figured Bill was doomed from when I first heard of him. Only encountered him briefly. Personally I wanted to see him make an escape off the island, but alas my character would not have done that so I was forced not to help him. He did liven things up a bit..so for that thanks to whoever played him.

Lol. I guess we need whoever plays Faith Crows to chime in on this one.

If he is really alive, then there's nothing anyone who knows that can say about it.

The circumstances surrounding his death were very fishy, and Marlie did honestly wonder if he was being protected (that's why she asked to see the body). Faith's excuse was implausible at best, considering there was no file returned with his belongings. But there's absolutely no reason that I can see for Faith to help him, unless Bill spun her a fabricated tale of such epic proportions that it was too insane not to be true. Marlie flat out told her that if she objected to the sentence that he was given to say so and Bill would be her problem. There was no need for subterfuge. If Bill is indeed alive, he'll turn up soon enough, because he can't keep his mouth shut, and it would create a huge rift in trust between Nraam and Dhung. No, Bill has to be dead, because if he isn't, Marlie's truly misjudged Faith both as a leader and as a friend.

Unless there was someone else in Dhung behind it, someone with a great deal of ill-will towards Marlie...
