Your Legacy

Penwize

I'm not even sure what one thing I'd want to be remembered for, I do/have done too many things.  Eagles and killing everything I guess?  Youngest dragon at the time maybe, or dragon x8?  "He was the dragoniest of them all."  Yeah.  Winning the staff by a very significant margin at a young age when nobody knew who I was and nobody thought I could do it?  Staff telepathy? 

I'm not really sure what's most memorable overall really.

Tvistor

"Sounding like Samwise Gamgee."

Achilles

Oldest mortal to reach dragon (397?).  Achilles took HGH to reverse the aging process.

Krypton

killing everything I guess?

That legacy became available only after Asara became better known for cartography instead.

Melodie

Now I miss Asara. Darn you.

Silas

Clearly Penwize killed *asara (RIP ).

Daslin

What if we don't want to have our character remembered? Not gonna lie, I hate Daslin now.

Jiraishin

Then we switch to other characters that we like more. I believe you mentioned a Naga.

Daslin

I've been meaning to play around on him more... Just.. NONE OF YOU ARE ON EVER! How's a Nameless supposed to get help?

Antidas

pff, @Jurixe and I are still around fairly frequently! No one else is though

Jiraishin

I am, just at unpredictable times and not on Jewish holidays.

Krypton

Now I miss Asara. Darn you.

What do you mean, Asara never quit Facebo- oh, now I see.

Aerek

All of my projects and ambitions set aside, I just want to be remembered as a consistent character who held true to his roots and principles.

It's getting harder to find long-time characters that can serve as icons or rolemodels for young players because most of us have jumped Houses/Classes suddenly at least once. Even if it was for good reasons, it's hard to explain that to impressionable and ambitious youngsters, and it just sends the wrong message, I think.

Silas

Priest Knight, pah.

Sabiru

Theft and shop theft
The inferno week/fortnight
Helping to put apostate back on the class relevance map
Helping Mhaldor&Ashtan swing around from 0:7? icons to 7:0? in the span of one dutch christmas
Raiding enough to get "The Talk" once or twice without making an enormous thread about it

I don't really mind if any of the other things are forgotten, since I can't really remember them either.

edit: grammar

No longer a Priest. 

It sure did take me a while to swing around, though.

Jonathin

I don't really mind if I'm not remembered by the populace as a whole. I just want to help make the game fun for others.

@Aerek: With all due respect and recognition that the game definitely needs characters like that, I do want to point out that characters who switch factions aren't necessarily poor role models. While I agree that it's harder to send the 'right' message after a faction switch, I think it's definitely still possible to send it as long as your character is demonstrably consistent and well-motivated. It's just as important to send the message that characters can still switch factions and have very solid, RP-driven reasoning behind it (as opposed to combat-driven or "I want to win"-driven). 

Aerek

Oh, of course. It's just hard for an organization like a Knight House to recount the epic tales of honorable Knights of yore, and have the novice ask what happened to these stalwart, ever-shining bastions of loyalty and valour. Then I have to be all, "Well, this one quit the city and house to go Occultist on a whim, this one left because he lost an election, this one got bored in Cyrene and left for Shallam to fight more..."

Even if the reasons for their leaving were honestly good, and even if they're still top-notch characters, it's difficult to instill a sense of awe and aspiration to be like these heroes of our history when none of them are in the House any more. I expect the Occultists are notably similar, given a rant of Amunet's from not long ago.

Delphinus

@Aerek:
"The first was tempted away to the Occult, and rotted in the mires of obscurity. The second felt unappreciated; pride, his greatest sin, clouded his sense of duty. The third was taken by the Light, which seared his eyes and heart, and he departed to the East where the fires of zealotry climb high. Learn by these examples. When you look down from Yggdrasil's heights, do not waver."

Honestly, I'm not sure what you expect to say. With a few exceptions, there are no epic player-character conclusions; either they're active now, they're dormant, or they defected. You can't spin those into things like, "He sacrificed himself to destroy the Ruby of Tara'grath, which turned back the ogres and saved Cyrene." Achaea doesn't work like that -- he'd just get better, and it wouldn't be the end. Gotta work with what you're given.

Luhar

In the far future, when Ashuran newbies ask what Luhar was like, I'd like the answer to be something along the lines of "Well, he sat in his office sorting out our help scrolls for the best part of a century, but on the odd occasion when you could coax him out to fight, he wasn't awful."

Tvistor

"Who was Tvistor?"

"Eh, he was a jerk to everyone, pretty much."

Azor

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work, I want to achieve it through not dying.

Erasariel

My legacy shall forever be the record holder for shortest tenure in a city position.

Well, at least I did a report, right? <.<

This was my entire conception of you before I ever interacted with you IG, @Tvistor.

Now I ascribe to the "jerk to everyone" philosophy. RIP finger.
