At 10 o'clock AM, Day of the Bull, 1st of the Month of the Long Shadows
on the Theran calendar Bynna perished, never to return.

First, I will say I really enjoyed the character. I loved my build, it was a ton of fun. The Mute flaw is no joke. Not being able to send tells, speak over cabal, ask about cabal items, or use healers made my life hard. Then on top of that people wouldn't hand my scrolls back so I could keep writing back and forth with them. It is not for the feint of heart.

People say I was showered with Imm Love. I got a 3rd Legacy, Calming, from the Yuletide RC. Anyone could have placed. I got an extra edge, Courageous for bring Joihe a gift, anyone could and did do this. Hell Courageous might have gotten me kill cause it was harder to flee and lower wimpy, but so what. It was fun.

My Interactions with Rarywey could have been had with anyone following an active Immortal who visits their Immortal and roleplays. What I did get was a quest to restore my voice. Never asked for it, but was stoked when it came up. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I tried anyhow. It eventually led to frustration b/c I had such difficulties getting Joihe to respond to prayers. The first time to get her to show up took 10 days of constant praying. The second time, after a few days of getting what she wanted, took 14 days of praying (sans 4 - 5 days where I didn't log on, so 9 days of praying over a 14 day stretch). Some of those times, they were visible in some form.

My hours cut down towards the end b/c I was working 2 jobs, mixed with play off football, and finally topped with Frustration of trying to get Imm response. Eventually I succumbed to my frustration and deleted. When something becomes unfun, it is time to delete. So there you have it.

Rarywey - As always, you are amazing. Its why I keep coming back to your personas. Thank you for all your time and I pray you do not ever get burned out. Continue being awesome.

Iskrith - We had an interesting relationship. Our times at Rarywey's shrine, conversing, led us to agree on some things and I hope garnered respect to each other. Outside the shrine, we fought a great deal, and the crazy thing is, only one of us died and just once. Me of course, only b/c I was out of healing items.

Dhuuston - My best friend. Keep doing you. I'm glad we got to go exploring, even if I got us killed once or twice. Believe in yourself!

Iroenyphe - Thanks for looking out for me in my younger days! It made me laugh when you would be running all over Thera looking for me to make sure I was ok.

Bazz - Thanks for being awesome and friendly. I wish I could have done some explore stuff with you.

Fortress Mages - The lot of you got me killed a few times from Battle. Totally ok, so don't feel bad if you did/do. I don't care about dying, and I think no one died cause I held someone off for you to escape. Totally worth it.

Fortress as a whole - Quite the mix. Some of you are clearly there for gear/exploring and not fighting the good fight. There is plenty of explore chances for good aligns, just make sure you don't forget the purpose of the Cabal, especially Maran/Squires. Some of you were great and I was glad to have you on my team. Those of you like that, keep it up!

Woriech - You get this only cause I want to explain why Bynna disliked you. Our first encounter you scolded me for killing the Imperial Recruiter in town. Then that same login, I fought Iskrith and recalled back to Galadon. I was scourged and had no movement and out of silver pills. So I was stuck at the healer. You waltz in and talk about how I now wanted the protection of the cities and smirked. So from those two things is what set you against Bynna. Bynna could be very grudgy. Ask the neutral villagers I would attack while they cried out how they weren't evil.

Village - I swear I fought villagers more than any thing else. Some fights totally went my way, other not so much. I always fought alone as I could never call for help, name targets ect. If I had help that was by total chance. I probably fought more 2 villagers against my lonesomeself then the other way around. This stint of villagers has really soured my outlook on villagers. Its just feels like most of you don't have any balls to fight a fair fight. I'm not mad at anyone using their call blood. I find it an honor to have someone need it against me.

Pitti - One of the few people who took time to learn about Bynna. Maybe the only person who knew I sacrificed my gladiator "friends" during their escape to have my vengance against my Master. Thank you for being a good friend.

I'm sure I'm missing something.

But thanks,

Beroxxus/Bynna

Still miffed real life didn't permit you to bring Beroxxus back.

It's remained one of the best concepts to base a CF religion on.

I take you at face value that it was the character and not you being grudge-y. As such, it sounds like you played good neutral Maran as you should, and I played good orderly Tribunal as I should.

You might want to work on your framing a bit better. Like, 'you waltz in' and 'set you against Bynna', it muddies the water on who had the grudge. But it's ok!

>in yourself!

I think I already said most of this in the graveyard comment on Discord, but you truly were my best friend too. It really was a struggle sometimes trying to figure out where you were or what you were doing, to try to link up with you again. As an Acolyte, trying to ensure your safety was insanely difficult unless I was there at the Fortress when you logged in! They should really give a cry-like power to Acolytes to come save reckless mute Maran, haha.

>Pitti - One of the few people who took time to learn about Bynna. Maybe the only person who knew I sacrificed my gladiator "friends" during their escape to have my vengance against my Master.

Not for a lack of trying! So, so, so many times I tried to get you to open up to me more about everything, to strengthen our friendship. You definitely seemed scarred from your past and difficult to trust people, but I'm glad that you ultimately warmed up to me, at least somewhat.

I really hope you come back with something strong soon, the game definitely needs you.

You spent all that time hating me over a lie told by another Maran!

There are characters you just don't want to see go, and Bynna was one of them for me. We only spoke a few times when I was playing Pititti, but those few times made a large impact. You were a great presence for Fort as well, very well done!
