Why'd you delete? Liked your style, all out offensive.

Oeretai just wasn't a 'fun' character to play. I just couldn't close the gap between the reality of how I was rp'ing him and the idea I had in my head. He just was 'too nice' without anything to make him particularly stand out. I realized that essentially I was making another, watered-down Storm giant Tcatama, and that's not what I wanted to do. Rather than throw good energy after bad, I deleted. I like to keep my characters all unique, so when I noticed I was in the cookie cutter, I cut my losses. I like to think I was a decent addition to the fortress, but at this point in my cf career I don't want to just stick with decent.

For the record, I also felt that storm giants fall a bit short of the mark. They look good on paper, but their empathetic rp is a bit blah if you try to follow it. I just can't be that nice! I did, however, try to reference my giant heritage quite a bit and let people know I was a storm giant, and not just a really tall human.

Hope this clears it up. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

I thought you played a Storm Giant well, sort of like the loud obnoxious Caramon that we all know and love from Dragonlance. I certainly saw no problems with your roleplaying. Still, it is a smart move to cut it if your not having fun. Cheers though.
