I was kind of letting her fade out, rather than solidly delete her, but it seems I ignored her for so long the mud did it for me. I can't say that I'm sad that this ended. The mud has been, in my humble opinion, on a steep decline for the past few years, and I have moved onto bigger and better things, such as school, love, and Starcraft.
But at the same time, I'm glad I had her when I did. Jorinthia was the most fun I've ever had in this game, a tangled web of aggression, insecurity and duty that even I often failed to fully understand. She came a long way from an unquestioningly obedient priestess and Talon, to a near-outcast of her own faith and a wrathful, stern leader of Zhenshi. The ghost of my other notable character, Aiden, I could often imagine stirring in his grave over her exploits.
There are too many good memories for me to cleanly sum up- all the political dancing about and the crusading war against Taslamar that took most of the mud by surprise sit chiefly among them. But alas, I think I began to slip away when I got PAR and I realized I didn't think so much of the playerbase's roleplay to find someone to enlighten every other day.
To everyone who makes, or made, this mud a fun place to play, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me, while it lasted, such a fun place to escape to. Thank you, to everyone who had the ability to like the players of characters their characters hated, or hate the players of characters their own characters trusted. I could name names, but you surely know who you are. Thank you.
As for the rest of you, thank you for hunting down genuinely good roleplay to its last and most obscure bastion, and taking a huge, steaming dump all over it. Go bend yourselves over and [PRE-REMOVED] yourselves.
I maxed all the relevant stats and GMed, and I don't have a cutpaste of them for all you of the latter category to fap over. Sorry. Alignment dogmatic, of course.
