Ahhhh wow. What a long ride this was. Where to start? Well the beginning is good I guess. This largely roleless character was my first back to CF in roughly 4 years or so. ALOT has changed. He was made at a whim just to see what has changed and ended up getting me back into the game. I never really thought I would have him join a cabal, but the fortress seemed like they needed a bit of help when I was first around with him. He wasnt really designed with the thought of killing others. Hard to run people down with a ram or a crocodile. Though He fought often and usually ended up with the other running, except for a few certain people that handed me my ass everytime.
Zak was a laid back kind of guy. He got involved with the cabal wars simply because he felt it was the right thing to do. He was alot more into the honor thing when he was young. Then after being involved in the war for a while it was about putting evil down, like it needed to be. Zak was actually my first FULLY heroed character. I had a few that got into the mid 40's and one even to 48 once, but never a full hero.
It was really hard to delete him, but I felt he had served his purpose in the fortress. The fort is strong, lots of people about, he was in no danger of becoming a full maran at any time, ha! So he felt he was time to go and join Sydrian and Iramath in their fishing on the reef. Show them that they cant outfish a crocodile.

Goodbyes:

Imms: I think I actually spoke to you once or twice with this whole character. He was pretty mundane. Eshval, you were great. Interacted with you when Ahelun was about. Innis, you made me laugh... alot. Aarn you had some great comments on cabal channel. That one about Iramath and the flowers in his hair made me spit out the pepsi I was drinking.

Empire: There were alot of you through Zak's time. I dont want to offend anyone by forgetting people so if I do please post and I'll respond.
Nabburak: You scary *#$*! Man you messed Zak up a few times at the fortress. Always had to look out for you. Though you didnt seem as aggressive as some past Emperors I knew back in the day. Which was kind of a nice change.

Sdradiga: Great warmaster. Fun bard. Good fights. All I can say really.

Makholvek: Where'd you go man? Always a good late night fight with you. I'll never forget that sting of fights along the eastern road with you and Ithzaruul fighting Salvrath, Alven, and myself. Fun times!

Ithzaruul: Man if you were any classier as a lich Zak might have actually liked you. Great rp, great character, and deadly to boot. Thanks for that rather nice goodbye. It was flattering to think you thought of Zak like that.

Outlander:
Didnt know many of you, the ones I did I liked. Fought some of your nightreavers, made alot of you mad. Heh.

Qing: Nifty giant. You were alot of fun that day we were running around fighting together.

Herald: Only knew one or two of you.

Sessha: Glad Zak got to say good bye and give you a few things. His last gift before he darted out of the Inn was the one he meant the most though. Good times chattin with you.

Nialona: Dustbunny! Thanks for bearing with his stupid lines when he was younger.

Tribunal: Man I used to HATE you guys when Onirakoth was Provost! It was like open season on Maran in any given city! But later on I liked alot of you.

Onirakoth: I absolutely loved the Rp and corruption of this character. He was such a crooked little skeez! Apparently pushed the limits too far though. Well done man. Seriously.

Melacarfina: Zak's little advernturing buddy. He was really sad to see you go.

Gordath: Didnt talk to you other than to appologize for chewing on your guards that one time. You never responded though :P

Scion: Loved fighting you guys. I hope the cabal turns around and gets some members though. Would be a force I think.

Runaktla: You just made me laugh alot. So persistant. Very skilled.

Resty: Dont know if the cabal has recovered much from you leaving. You were always the one I thought their strength was with.

Battle: Ahhh! Now here we go. Zak actaully liked most of you. He tried to grant duels when he could. He never wanted to insult the village. I tried real hard to make people let us fight fair but they didnt understand the shaking head much I guess. Sorry!

Gerylanst: Old bird you were Zak's favorite within the village. It's characters like this and Tuggluk that make me wanna play a villager, but I suck way to bad to even try right now. You rock. Polite for a villager as well.

Tuggluk/Karashin: Liked these guys alot. Zak never really felt Karashin was all that evil, circumstance of birth he always thought. Tuggluk was just hilarious. And always so cheerful.

Vershelt: Heh, Mr. Drillmaster. Zak respected the hell outta you. Well done.

Fortress: So many to say good bye to...
Zak never made full maran, so that made fighting liches and anti-paladins a real pain. Most others I could do well against. Just they knew I didnt have eyes so flee-sleep-flee-sleep yada yada yada till it kicked. I couldnt spam butt or bite so&so fast enough to keep up!
Ahelun: Of course he gets mentioned first. You were Zak's dearest and closest friend at any given time. After your death he languished for a while about it private. He even tried to talk to Eshval a few times to see if he could complete that dragon thing you never did get done. He didnt want to see anything of your work unfinished. He called many in the fortress brother but he truly felt it with you.

Cytherea: Drunken little elfess. Zak loved you so much. When you became immortal he was really happy, and really sad at the same time. Thanks for everything you did for him, it really speaks to the character and the person she is.

Caradoc: Oh I know you're going to be mad I didnt wait around till you were there to say good bye. But you talked me outta it enough! I knew if you were there you'd talk me outta it again. Thanks for all the kind words he had for Zak. Zak really enjoyed watching him from a young squire to the marshall of the fortress. He always thought of Caradoc as almost like a son.

The captains: Wungar inducted Zak, thanks for that and putting your faith in him, Iramath taught Zak ALOT about warring and battle. Man I always felt so invincible with you with me. No matter the odds. You suck for not saying goodbye though! Azidreth, another one Zak felt very attuned to. We fought well together and that little trick we came up with suckered more than a few evil folks into their doom. Ha!

If I forgot anyone I'm sorry, please post and I'll respond. Zak's life was spread out over quite a while.
On a personal note the imms have done a fantasic job with this game. In an age of high graphics, super speed modems and the xbox/playstation generation it really speaks to their dedication when you look at this game.
I cant imagine some of the comments I got from the imms though I am sure most of them are fairly 'wow this guy blows' comments. Haha! Thanks for all the fun everyone that had anything to do with this very memorable character for me!

See you in the fields.

I seem to recall us coming up in the ranks together during fairly lean times, but you stuck with it during that, after that, and then after that AGAIN probably several times. For that, major respect. I just couldn't hang in there, myself, with the range so full of good guys.

I'm glad you got so much enjoyment out of the character, but you're not going to be too happy when I school your scaley butt at reef fishing! :p

You sure did live a long time. I so did hate your forms...quite effective. I just wish the rest of the Fort would keel over and die...its hard to rank up my evil!

I liked your attitude IC and OOC, so much so I avoided killing you with my current guy (OOC I know, sue me). But I did come and say hello once =)

good job, and it's to bad you never made Maran.


Granaak

Another one I forgot! I never did get to bring you down at all, but I did make a pretty big scaley target for you. I'll never forget that bonehead move I made trying to save one of the fortress from that huge horde you guys had that one time up there. There was what... seven of you? Permalagged me out big time. But it took you all a while to take the croc down when I had the gear I did at that point. Alot of health there ha! Alot of fun. Thanks for the kind words.

If the rest of the Maran there would have done the right thing, not only would that person have been saved, the rest of us would most likely have had to flee/regroup.

.

I liked Zakarius (although I still had to try my damndes to kill you), and thought you were a good addition to the Fort. I think with all the 'I'm here because I always play Maran' players, it can be tough to be a newbie to the Fort--god knows I had trouble keeping my temper when I had my Maran a few years back and constantly had to deal with the 'I know Maran better than you' from people who would rarely if ever *hunt* evil. Zak never bitched, never whined, and from what I saw took his lumps and came up smiling. He never was afraid to run to a pitched battle and jump in, and I appreciate the effort.

Good luck on your next!

Rich Uncle Resty

You were always a slippery one. You and those shawtabbies could be a real pain. Zak was never afraid to throw down. And if there was another member of the fort in trouble he'd come running if it was at all possible for him to do. Sometimes when you're plauged, cursed and all that it makes it a little hard to play the part of the calvary. Didnt get to fight you a whole lot. But the ones we did were fun battles. Thanks for the good times.

I enjoyed having you around. When we were together, I knew it was going to get fun. I hate to see you go, but I wish the best for you in the future.

Don't think I ever nailed you you very-efficient-waster-of-
my-wands-you. Quite a pain in the rear your forms were. Very
annoying.

- Runaktla

.

Didnt mean to forget you either. You had me most of the time. Though we rarely actually killed one another. Though that time with me and Azidreth against you and Sythlindora at the fortress was... well we won that one needless to say. I still cant believe you guys went down so quickly. Thanks for the fun fights!

*****Anyone who can live as a Squire to old age, and not be bitter about it and keep on trucking with it as long as you did is doing pretty good in my book. You'll be missed. Here's a parting log of just one of the times you saved my ass. Enjoy your next Zak*****

deeply etched to show a huge Symbol of the Imperial Codex. At each of the
cardinal directions surrounding the Symbol you see smaller representations
of the individual Sect Symbols. Each of these details pass quickly, for
your eye is almost immediately drawn to the black stone cross rising from
the center of the great Symbol.

The half-elf before you, though still bearing much of his
youthful appearance bears some marks of aging. His black
shoulder length hair is pulled back into a low
ponytail, several streaks of grey run through it. Small wrinkles
have formed at the corners of his almond shaped eyes.
Several light scars criss cross his tanned facial features,
One in particular runs down from the left side of his forehead to the cheek
below the eye. His once bright eyes have dimmed some, years of
near constant battle has taken their toll upon his body, though his
spirit still bears the same vibrance of times of his youth.
The goatee that adorns his chin is still well trimmed though
it is shot through with grey as his hair.
Zakarius, a male half-elf, is in perfect health.

Yeah that was a good one. Kresh was gracious in defeat though. And yes I took his stuff but let it be known I gave a good portion of it back. Except like 1 thing I kept for me and the eveil aura stuff I sacrificed. It was alot of fun fighting along side you.

I enjoyed your shifter a bunch. The duels were great and having such a level of respect amongst players is so rare these days, it was treasured. Great job on a fortie shifter and keep em coming. And of the few combinations that help you learn the game, such a healer, a rager does it surprisingly well. From what I've seen, you've got plenty of talent to try a villager whenever you like. Karashin did have a role piece of turning un-evil btw, so I'm glad you got that vib. Once again, great job. See you in the fields.

It was fun. I really regretted deleting syd about 3 days after I did it. I'd have enjoyed sticking things out with you. You were fun, reliable, and funny all to boot. What wasn't to love about you dude? It was all good, and even though you technically did mention fishing with me and iramath in your farewell, I'll look past the fact that you forgot me for the most part ;). Good luck on whatevers next with you and I'm glad you came back to the fields. Just make sure you get something else up into hero range quick.

Syd

Heh yeah I thought about the forgetting you in the main part after about two seconds of posting it. Ya just cant outfish the croc man! You were alot of fun, all those damned trips down to that dark watery place we went all those times with Brynn. Hell those were great.

I always liked our brief interactions, we never really had the chance to hang out for an extended period of time. I was always impressed by the insane amount of damage a croc could take, you must have had a lot of fun exploring. I'm just sorry we never found the time to get you to the place we discussed so long ago. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your next character as much as you did this one!

Ah didnae get tuh whoop arse wif yehs all dat much, but from what ah saw yehs was a good'un. Yehs a fargin' orc pile fuh deletin' t'ough. All dese fargas deletin' just when evil gettin' a foothold. Next week it'll be muh and 10 evils gangin' up on muh arse. Fuh dat ah say SUCK MUH BEARD!

I cant believe I forgot you! Sorry man. You made me laugh so hard everytime you were one. Made it an enjoyable time. You should be the next cardinal or prophet in my opinion.
