Introducing myself ... hm, not that easy

I was supposed to write an introduction from my character's point of view, but as much as I tried, I couldn't come up with a story even remotely worth posting. I blame my utter lack of imagination and, of course, Inkster for setting the bar so high with his first post.

Besides my already mentioned lack of imagination, I have another problem: I have too many chars. Having six level 50 chars and another two in their early 40ies makes it kind of hard to concentrate on one char to build your story around. I tried to come up with a short story of all chars that also connects them all somehow, but after reading it again a day later, it didn't sound too well. I might post it some time in the future, if I find the time and motivation to work on it.

Actually there's another thing going on right now. I have one char that I played most, but, as already implied by using past tense, I have moved on. I'm still using the name of that char to post, just because it is the one that's the most well known. I started playing in Syrtis, but very early I thought that I made the wrong choice. That was around the time Laleja was somewhere between level 40 and 45 (November/December 2007). At that time I thought that I might be happier in Alsius and even considered deleting my chars to join Alsius. What kept me from doing that was two things: 1. I didn't want to delete my most high level char (which seems somewhat ridiculous to me now with six level 50ies); 2. I joined the German Guardians, which brought the game to a whole new level.

But as it is now, playing in Syrtis is mostly frustrating to me when I play without the GGs. I don't think I have to go into details, but the Syrtis playing style sucks really bad in general. With the GGs, it was always different, but recently a lot of them have left, some for personal reasons, some prefer to play on Horus now, some for reasons I don't know and/or don't understand. It pains me to see the GGs breaking up, but that's what it seems is happening right now.

I have foreseen this for some time, so I made a new account (breaking NDG's barely enforced rule) to finally join Alsius without losing my Syrtis chars. I still play in Syrtis when I see more than just one or two GGs online, and it's still a lot of fun with them. But without my Alsius chars I would probably already have left the game. To cut a long story short, these are my main chars: Laleja, Syrtis conjurer. Lucinda Wintersun, Alsius conjurer. Lucinda Silverbow, Alsius marks, and the char that I happen to play most at the moment. Plus some other chars that I don't play very often.

The Lady Speaks

Hi, Im Twinkle. One of Great Council members, i'm the strongest twinkle of Alsius' magic, clever in my research and I keep the goat man's instincts on a leash.

He may think he's big and clever but he is in fact, small and stupid.

Dark Venom Fang Speaks

Just had to try and test this whole blogging thing out. Incase of any regnum mates reading, no i wont be on for a while.

About DVF;

Anyway, i might make a proper one like Ink did later, but this is primarily a test to see if i know how to blog :)

The Story of Inkster

Inkster was born unto an impoverished family on the outskirts of a small port town known as Gokstad, in the year 1507. When asked of his boyhood, he stated, "When I was a lad, we were so poor, thieves would break into our hovel and leave things. We were so broke we could only afford rickets in one leg."

Indeed, life around the hovel was hard, and Inkster did not make it any easier by trying to help out. He says, "As a child I was quite useless. I could not do anything right, and fixing the hole in my father's favorite seat was a classic example... it turned out to be the toilet seat! I did try though, but the only thing I ever fixed around the house was the cat.. and that was an accident!"

Inkster's story is a woeful one, fraught with misfortune. Because money was tight, food scarce, and good times nonexistent, Inkster decided to leave his hovel, family, and friends (actually, it was just one friend, the village idiot, who had multiple personalities and psychotic tendencies). And so with an empty burlap sack and the rags on his back, Inkster set off for adventure in the realm of Syrtis. Inkster knew that his luck would finally change -- and it did. For the worse.

On the very night that Inkster ran away from home, whilst wandering by the bay, he was abducted by a band of pirates. Though he fought valiantly, (if you can call crying and begging for mercy valiant) the lad was hopelessly outnumbered. He was knocked unconscious (the pirates were really sick of his crying and begging for mercy), and taken aboard their ship.

For four long and torturous years, the pirates kept Inkster as their lackey. They treated him like a dog, and hardly a day would go by that he wasn't flogged. In an exclusive interview, Inkster spoke of his time with the pirates. "Aye, these pirates were mean. They were the kind of men that would throw a drowning man both ends of the rope. Why, they would stab you in the back and then have you arrested for carrying a concealed weapon."

Life was hard for Inkster, but as the years passed, he discovered that the more he would sing and tell jokes, the more the crew would laugh and stop hitting him so much. They even let him join in on their pirate games, like Inkster throw, or bobbing for dorsal fins. And, while Inkster was being dangled over the side of the ship for the third round of Dorsalbob, he dreamed of the day he would escape to greater things..
