My first Character Optimus Christ

the only one who's died so far.
I don't think there was any major interaction with anyone.

Obviously I can't say too much, but I've just killed off one of my older characters. It was a difficult thing to do, but I really want to cut down my list to about 10. I'll miss a few of the characters in their town, hopefully my character's last wishes will be granted.

I killed one of my very old characters Lizaro. He was staying silent since years and now his town (Naron Forest) is well populated so I wanted to give life to a new char . He didn't have friends at all but thanks to all citizens for caring and feeding him.
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Nraam?

Apologizes, I mixed with another male character of mine which died long ago in that city. I fixed now.

Amara...she sadly suffered my own growing pains in learning the game and was my sole character for quite a long time. I'd like to say if I could go back and do it again I'd do it differently but then she may not have ended up with the love of her life, her sweet savior, the most patient man she ever met who loved her unconditionally (or seemed to anyway, I hate to speak for other people) despite the wringer she put him through. My first and only character to ever be jailed. :oops:

Malin Rand...apparently not so affectionately known as that girl floating around Cantr Island who could only speak in rhymes though the shock and trauma of the death of her lover ended that for her. (Guilty of gimmickery, lesson learned. :oops: ) She was tempestuous but kind and generous. She was surely destined for more than her small town life but could never find the will to leave, though who knows what would have happened after the death of her best friend and the first man she ever loved, she was the only one who really didn't get a chance to say goodbye as she was dealing with the illness of a close friend and despite her general brattiness she was caring to the last.

Kita...what can I say about Kita? She could be a pain I'm sure but she genuinely tried to love and help everyone she ever met. I could have been more consistent with her but sometimes it took me a while to figure my characters out or for them to figure themselves out I guess. She probably had the most adventures out of all mine.

Ellis Birch...my first try at being a dude. He was a bit of an old-fashioned gentleman, goofy, hard-working, self-deprecating to the end. There was so much more for him to do, and he was not proud of his handling of a very touchy situation toward the end but overall he dedicated his life to making his hometown a viable, growing community and at least he did get to see the beginning of that happening.

Cuthbert Tavistock...the anti-Ellis...my horribly failed attempt at making a loner jerk. Well, okay I was somewhat successful in the jerk department. :roll: What a life he left behind and what a mess...sorry Longinazy :p. These obituaries, such as they are, are short on mentioning specific characters, I know, and I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate the characters that were part of my character's lives and lack of mention does not mean lack of love, caring, respect, admiration, but I have NEVER laughed so much in my life as during the time Cuthbert spent with Aggie, I mean NEVER. His trademark 'Ha!' was often an indicator of my own real life laughing aloud but I could never figure out how to properly emote it. And of course he was far too manly to have the tears of laughter streaming down his cheeks that were usually streaming down mine. Of all the forests on all the islands...

Raquel Roxana Indichi...so close to thirty and so close (maybe) to her dream come true. She was really the first and only of my characters with a very specific dream and a goal. As developed and attached as I was to my older characters, it was really Raquel who gave me the most pause when making my decision to quit and I'm not really sure why other than it would have been nice to try to make her dream come true. She also had the closest to a family dynamic I've experienced in game (and this includes a character of mine who later in life had a daughter) so I think that was hard to leave behind too as troubled as that dynamic could be sometimes.

Bimmi Buttercup...poor Bimmi spent much of her short life sick with the corpse disease or whatever happens where you suddenly eat ravenously for days and never had much of a chance at life. She sure had fun otherwise though when she wasn't ill.

RIP Dead Man Walking, age 22.

Slain by the Stone Knights in Olip West of a sledgehammer through the brain.
Notable for stumbling off the road with 99% damage and dust caked in every slash he had, yelling as much as he could without coughing up blood, and leaving a small mountain of stone where he finally died.
His stone may live but his body did not; still, that is how he always wanted it.
Alas, he did not convert a single soul.
His brain was a much a stone as he fancied himself.

My first character to be killed.
