So here's the good, the bad and the ugly.

This character was fun to RP, not so fun to play mechanically. I personally love the whole idea of conjurers, how their magic works and what they can do, but they are just so damned difficult to deal with, especially as evil. My biggest problem was keeping servitors happy, and they always tended to get unhappy about halfway through the being summoned. No matter what I tried, my servitors just didn't like me :(. There were a few times that I got lucky and had happy servitors and then I seemed almost terrifying, but then people just ran away lol. I imagine murderous intent would have helped but I don't think would have ever gotten enough kills to get that or enough EP after what I did take.

Imms;

All of you were great, I really loved the dream sequence, it just played so well into the psychotic mind of Erigron which really tipped him over the edge.

Also the chat with the devil about the steed and the king, glorious stuff. I didn't know how to really react though and I know who did that one too, which was neat but I won't tell the secret even though my familiar caught you ;).

Also Rahsael, who was my original deity choice for the start of Erigron's life. I said it once and will say it again, sorry I didn't go deeper into your religion. Once I started learning about Scarab as I found interest in the cult, I abandoned you because you were not "the father" and you were apart of the lesser. Otherwise what experiences we had, was great!

Scarab

Dzooka, you influenced my character greatly. It's the first time I've ever been in Scarab and the RP you shared really set me in motion. You were frigging scary to watch killing things too.

Undaraxyl, You were terrifying as well and I loved your socials and emotes. You just screamed creepy as hell to me and It made Erigron tingle with ecstasy watching your art.

Enemies

You were many and you were all pretty great to fight with, though I hate all assassins lol! You were all fun to fight with and I enjoyed most of our interactions.



131983, Glad you liked the dream!

Well roleplayed frenemies are the best. After my hours dipped from all day insanity to a more normal schedule we fell out of touch a bit, and now just as we were starting to see more of each other you go and con die! Thanks for being a classy foe for Erigron's entire life. Low ranks to high you were always good for a fight which was awesome. For a while there I couldn't do anything and then the balance sort of shifted later. I was so disappointed when you went Scarab, but it was a great path for the character.

GLWYN.

Great RP. You had some tough breaks with servitors and in PK but I never saw anything resembling sour grapes from you. You mixed it up constantly and roleplayed constantly, and that's great for the game. Thanks for Erigron and for having such an amazing attitude.

Thanks!

I try to not get sour over much, though I think if anything got me was the mechanics of how quickly my servitors rebelled or became unhappy. I tried doing what I could to keep them happy, but it was like once they hit the unhappy thresh hold, they didn't get happy again.

I use to look at this game in a perspective of being angry when I lost or died, but soon realized, while it's disheartening the fun is in the adventure and dying and losing stuff is apart of it.

I enjoyed the RP we had, and at one point, without entering rolls, was in a huge conflict with your religion and being a scarab. I fully gave into the Scarab though, following the father and abandoning all weakness (thanks to Dzooka and his shedding weakness conversations). I would love to delve deeper into your religion with a character soon as it was frigging awesome both the ceremony of the loss and when Caz and I played with the doll.
131977, Dang you went fast!

You were very consistent in RP, which was nice any time I watched you.

Given you were one of the few Scarabs, and otherwise kept up decently with your RP, I had some cool hopes for the future.

So I check on you today and saw you had 3 deaths left and was like "WHAAAT?". Oh well, you were still a cool char!

Yep, just like Ghek lol! I chalk up most experiences to RNG in this game because I've been on the side of being ill prepped fighting against fully prepped people and winning a few times, it just is a strike of luck and most the time it's not on my side.

Thanks for the compliments! My enjoyment was being that slightly off kilter, totally fascinated with everything gruesome, RP'd character. You know... like the one person that just loves things to get turned inside out. I tried my best to stay consistent because I try to live within the character. My pk isn't great, probably below-average at best, but I enjoy the thrill of the fight which makes backing down hard for me, even when its not in my favor.

My servitors probably ate about 60-70% of my con, though I had a really awesome setup, I think would have a bit better chance on the "winning" side if I didn't actually take three faults. If I did that, then I wouldn't have been Erigron, the conjurer who relies heavily on his pets to paint the world red in the blood of the profane.

I've enjoyed RP with you on quite a few characters, though I'm not a big writer, which intimidates me with your religion, as someone who experiences it from the outside. I can write I just find it tedious, that's why I have to be in the mood to write roles when it comes to my characters.
