I played Mak like an artist. His medium was carnage, but he still had the artists' eye for beauty. In you he saw exactly that, both when he caught you undressing and in speaking with you. Besides, you were one of the few people to show interest in the character.
I had lots of plans for this guy, but having almost no cabal ties other than BATTLE (who didn't help me with anything except for ranking) can be a bit rough. This was my first assassin in quite a few years and I think I did pretty good. I would have kept him, but I have had some cool character concepts recently and really wanted to dive into one with everything I've got and see what happens with it, so I deleted. I don't want to be one of those characters that shows up every now and then and everyone from newbie to Hero thinks "I know that guy..."
Grumorum: Did I have any chance of getting into Entropy with this character? I've had several Barons, and I see a difference in inductions...a good difference. Seems to be meant to weed out the jackasses.
Pico: You were cool. I don't know what I must have said to get your attention, but once I did it worked nicely. Thanks.
Jazur: I had spoken with you once or twice and I was hoping to gain a tattoo out of being your follower. Afterall, Mak was the embodiment of passion. I had to stop playing him for a while and when I came back and prayed I never heard from you. Not sure if it was because I gained 20 levels before trying to contact you or simply conflicting times. Anyway, I think you play your role very 'godly'. Good job.
Yelsar: You were coo', though (correct me if I'm wrong, and no offense here) you seemed newbie'ish. Sorry for killing you those few times. =p
Ragers: You guys must have REALLY suspected me of being a magic user. Heh, I remember one time I had Grozbem chasing me up and down Thera trying to look at me. I ran like a mofo cause I had a bracelet of bifrost and I was really attached to it. I had it for about a month and every time a rager would come around I would stash it somewhere remote and hope no one snagged it. Heh, I wasn't willing to give up my rager buddies or my magic...made things fun.
Scions: Damn you A-P's, Mace, and Axe specs! I had tons of well- practiced skills and you fuckers tooled me everytime. I just didn't want to give into the cleche of being an axe-fearing assassin...unfortunately the truth hurts.
Sorry if I'm forgetting anyone else.
Here is my role and description.
desc + Your eyes wander from wherever they were to this short, dark man. desc + Dark is an understatement, as he is darker than any tribesman of desc + the southlands. Yet, his features are neither rough or robust, but desc + slender and defined like an ebony figurine. His clothes look a bit desc + out of place, possibly Seantryn in style, and are of various shades desc + of bronze and rustic brown. A broad black sash is wrapped around his desc + waist with a curious symbol at the end of either tail. His only desc + possessions must be in the medium-sized black pack which is slung desc + over his shoulder, though it can't be much. Your eyes eventually desc + wander away from the dark little man of seemingly little repute, desc + and soon your thoughts seem to wash away the memory of his presence desc + as if he had never been there.
Role
role + "I don't like rambling about events that you and your people could role + care less about, Rembran, so I'll be brief." role + role + 'Uhhh, yes, right then. Well, I guess I should start at the beginning, role + considering yours must be unusu--' role + role + "My father was a Drow,..." role + role + A barely stifled gasp is heard from the bustling crowd. Several of role + them are heard saying "I knew it." and "Filthy Drow hell-spawn!" role + role + "...and my mother was the unfortunate woman that he raped. Those are role + my 'beginnings', Rembran. Satisfied?" role + role + The wry little gnome pushes back his spectacles as he replies, 'Uhhh, role + yes, I suppose that will do. So what can you tell us about yourself?" role + role + A cold, emotionless stare is his only answer from the half-breed. role + role + 'Right, well...maybe I should point the question a little better. Why role + do you...ummm...kill?' role + role + As per usual the half-breeds' eyes seem to come alive at the prospect role + of murder. role + role + "Because I am an artist, Rembran, and like so many artists, my talent role + lies in one particular field. Would Amberlea be any good at carving role + granite? Likely not. In contrast, would Minalcar the Savage be any role + good at painting? Again, likely not." role + role + The crowd seems to grow uneasy at the mention of Minalcar, as many role + of their elders were alive in the days of his reign. role + role + 'So, let me see if I understand this. You think of death as an art?' role + role + "Of course death is an art. I am not the first, nor will I be the role + last to believe so. Some worship those who have already died. I, role + however, try to capture the last seconds of a life. We mortals wait role + our entire lives only to die, Rembran, why then should death not role + be something spectacular? Something to remember? Would you rather role + pass away on a sickly deathbed, or be immortalized forever as a role + masterpiece?" role + role + 'Well, ummm, if the only way to be a masterpiece is to be butchered role + by you, then the deathbed I'll take.' role + role + Just as swiftly as Makish's grin came, it disappears at the gnomes' role + words. A chilling calm comes over him as he says, "For you I would role + do my absolute best, Rembran. Surely explosives would be in ord--" role + role + 'Ahhh, ummm, yes, well thank you for the gesture." role + role + Makish nods in consent, saying, "Anytime." role + role + 'So, how did this passion for murder first manifest itself?' role + role + "I think I've always been a bit more inclined to killing than role + most. Perhaps it's my blood, or perhaps it came on in my role + younger days. Ahhhh, now those were the days, though my craft role + was not yet perfected, everything was new. Every work of art role + was never before seen and thus, shocking and bold. Now I must role + strive more than ever to create new mediums for my works. role + A challenging task, I assure you. But I am getting ahead of role + myself. Ahhhh yes, my younger days.... role added
role + role + ================================================================== role + role + "For a long time I was on the cusp of morality as I like to call it. role + I trained hard, I taught myself how to kill. But it was simply a role + morbid interest at the time, not a realized passion. Then, one day, role + I saw a crime in progress. A thug...I believe he was a giant of some role + sort, perhaps a half-giant...regardless, he was quickly ditching his role + pursuers in the market of Hamsaah. I decided to chase him down myself. role + It would be a good opportunity to test myself and not risk death in role + the process. At least not by the local law..." role + role + "Hmmm, that's not in the documents...", says the wizened old gnome as role + he flips through a few scrolls. role + role + Laughing, Makish says, "So few of them actually made it to those pages." role + role + "Anyhow, Rembran, as I was saying...I caught him a block before his role + hideout. He died without making so much as noise as I snapped his neck role + with my hands. Rather unimpressive, but you must remember, it was my role + first. As far as assassinations go, it was flawless and quiet. But I role + am more than a mere assassin. It is said that the cowled brothers are role + Wolves among Lambs. I tend to think of myself as a Tiger among the role + Wolves. But again I stray form the subject. Killing this thug fueled role + the fire that I had always known was there and my lust for perfection role + grew as well as my self-scrutinization. It's certainly easier after role + the first time, and my ability to keep calm in a mortal conflict has role + allowed me to create the most elaborate deaths ever seen." role + role + "More than other men, I have the ability to carry out my passions and role + ambitions in this world, as I have worked harder to do so than any other. role + When I realized that my life was a like driven by the heat of my desire, role + a name came to me as if whispered upon the wind. 'Jazur' was the one word role + spoken to me upon that hot breeze. Soon I found myself learning every role + scrap I could about the One Desire. As I learned more about the religion, role + or rather, the philosophies of the One Desire, I found that my own sense role + of reason and drive was reflected therein. I set out to discover the Threshold.
I'll post my fights on Dio's, well the one's I logged.
