I didn't think I'd be making this post to be honest, but the fact that some new players welcomed her and even gave her a burrial and asked her for advice enslaved me. As did the afterlife RP with Zavi. Unfortunately I chickened out on deleting so you might see her as a ghost sometime.

So here goes.

Quote:

You see a slender elven woman. Her golden eyes seem to take the time to
take in all of her surroundings carefuly, and seem filled with knowledge
beyond her age. Her thin lips and slender nose would perhaps fit the
description of one of royal blood, but her calm smile she carries and her
gentle eyes dismiss thoughts that she was raised as a noble.
Silvery, straight hair cascade to just below her shoulderblades, two locks
starting behind her ears and resting gently on her shoulders and abdomen.
Her forward bangs are cut shorter, just long enough to reach her chin, and
are combed to the side, covering the left side of her face. She carries her
frail lithe body with grace as she walks about, as if each step is a
carefuly calculated and timed. Her slender hands, if not otherwise occupied
are neatly folded in front of her waist.
There is a certain aura about this elven woman that makes one feel at peace.
The eyes of this elf glow with a faint, inner light.

I'll leave the full extent to the background to those that found out in game, but in short, Lina was raised in elisair, practicing to become a priestess of truth for the hammer of light. A couple of meetings with Corathir and Frim and she became a Zavijan, and later a member of the fist.
This character wasn't always fun to play. I'm more akin to PK-Idontgiveashit characters with RP to back it up, such as Aurius Faer and Lance, but I wanted to try and improve on the fist fluff that already existed into the game by infusing it with whatever I could from real-life taoism and martial art philosophy. The main challenge was that I wanted this character to remain AWAY from the PK zone. I was out to fight quite a few defending battles, but what defined Linarumien were the endless debates she had with people, both friendly and unfriendly. She always had something to say, some remark to make or some criticism to pass, which was more than not unwelcome, and to some annoying, but this was also part of the character. The concept was borrowed if not bluntly stolen from the old jedi council in starwars. Not everyone wants to hear a jedi go on about wisdom and the force but that doesn't mean the jedi will shut up. Course, me being no wiser or better than any of you, I didn't come across as wise as I wanted or at times thought I was, but hey. Such are the limitations of an RPG.

I could list a long wall of names of people I want to thank, but you all know who you are, and the characters are all dead and gone anyway.

Well there you have it. I predict a flamefest on the next few days but hey, that's part of the game too I guess :P Flame on!

I'm out. Thanks for all the fish!

I heard from a number of people that you were self-righteous, but I figured it was just your character until this; I'm pretty sure you just described a limitation of yourself, not the RPG. What unabashed hubris.

I learned a lot about the cliques of SK through interacting with this character. She proved a useful topic of conversation. Thanks for providing her.

She was an elf, grep. If she weren't self-righteous and annoying I'd be doing something wrong :P

The wise part is another thing entirely and by limitations of an RPG I mean I can't play a 24 int 25 cha character and in good heart say that I represented those stats with my RP.

Never thought I'd see the day. About freaking time.

I enjoyed our interactions, always hoped for more but never seemed to catch you around much. Good luck with whatever you're doing.

Lina sure did cause a lot of controversy. I liked hanging around her with Aradan though.

Lina was special. Great job, and good luck trying to make another that is as epic.

Maaan, she was so stuborn that it hurt, I always had to 'prepare' myself before confronting her. ;)

Still I always saw very high standars of RP coming from her with no exception.
