Title: Who are your heros?
Post by: Pen N Popper on April 03, 2012, 08:42:23 pm
This isn't like the Hall of Fame where the PC has to be dead for five years before being inducted. Who are the PCs that you recall as being most influential to you OOCly or ICly, and why.... and.... go!

A couple that strike me are:

Daren Valhaikor
Talan Va'lash
Acacea Thistletounge

All of them were very welcoming OOCly and supportive ICly.

Merry Thorn - Halfling Ranger who showed Enzo the ropes when I 1st joined Layo. She basically took Enzo under her wing and she definitely influenced who he is today. Her favorite quote... "Im not that good at hiding... you big people dont know how to look!"


THE RED CAPS!
See the video http://forums.layonara.com/local_links.php?catid=5

Rhizome - (The Druid - Heiropant) Enzo met Rhizome early on after (probably within the 1st week of me joining Layo). For years you wouldnt see one of them with out the other being there. Often both of them trying to win over the same woman... LOL

Plenarius - Even though Enzo thought he was a rogue when they 1st met (Plen was wearing a black leather suit then). Plen was the cleric of "The Red Caps" Hit connection with Katia was strong... strong enough that in time he became the bird lord.

Arenis (The Meat Shield) - Arenis was a brave some might have said cocky but he could always back it up fighter. A loyal companion who wasnt afraid to lay his life on the line for his friends or what was right.


Duran Axehaft (The Dwarf) - "For me pal Vorax! He would shout this before most battles.... I will never forget he hated boats... he would rather trudge along the bottom of the body of water than ride in a boat.


All these people helped make Enzo who he is today, especially as far as fighting and tactics are concerned.

Acacea, definitely.

Gulnyr the Grim (the actual character)

Derrick Loadson (the iconic black knight and founder of the Arms)

Kali (the gypsy)

Yardislan (master scribe and battle brother to Cole Norseman)

Reventage

Plenarious

Alayna (one of Diamond Edge's many deceased characters)

Aleister

Celgar

... probably more that I'm not remembering.

Kali

Amanda

Alatriel

Sasha

Hedessa

'Old Ben' Poetr

Hmm, everyone on this list is people that Raz has kissed.  But by no means everyone that he has kissed.

Acacea - for her talks and walks with Zahid

Daniel Benjamin Poetr - for his attempt to keep Eoanira Ceviran busy through duty

Kurn, Gorm, and Argos - All very influential characters for Nokka

Andrew William Reid - for consistent opportunities in character development

Anyone who sends a quiet tell complimenting a character despite said character rubbing consistently and constantly on their characters' nerves IC. This encouragement allows me to keep playing strange concepts that don't move far past level 7. Thank you.

Tuff to put only a few but the ones that I think of off the top of my head:

Sasha-sexy warrioress on a mission-played as a girl so well I thought that Dezza was a she for a while

Angela-a cutting tounge and showed me lots of places with fun battle rp

Alantha-the ying to Angela's yang, an epic that I looked up to

Ben-I still remember going into the orc fortress with him for the first time, incredible rp and almost had my first pvp when we first met

Hedessa-what I think of when I think of a xeenite cleric, super fun to be around

Salaron-has me rolling laughing everytime I'm around him, an rp style that is unique and imaginative

Arkolio-Another one that makes laugh as well and isnt afraid to step on toes to keep it real

Trent-What I thought of when I think of a battle priest.  Always up for a run to the deep and we had many a great fights together.

First off I have to mention Beli's mentor and the one who showed me the ropes. LORE: Garnet Stonesmythhy (http://lore.layonara.com/Garnet%20Stonesmythhy) followed by
LORE: Sallaron Tempest (http://lore.layonara.com/Sallaron%20Tempest) who joined Layo at the same time as me and Beli's favorite friend.
LORE: Varka Cleaveson (http://lore.layonara.com/Varka%20Cleaveson) was and still is the dwarven anchor and major influence for all my dwarven characters
LORE: Jennara Creekskipper (http://lore.layonara.com/Jennara%20Creekskipper) for simply being who she is and setting a fine example
LORE: Andrew William Reid (http://lore.layonara.com/Andrew%20William%20Reid) for simply being awesome at RP and his general creativity

lastly LORE: Pen N Popper (http://lore.layonara.com/Profile/Pen%20N%20Popper) has a way of making any character at any level become special and interesting.

I would like to point out that all of these people influenced me before their individual characters made level 20.

Special mention goes to GMs Minerva and Harlas Ravelkione who helped influence my characters and made me better at RP.
Title: Re: Who are your heros?
Post by: Chazzler on April 04, 2012, 06:02:05 am
Oh man, there are so many!
But I would point out the members of the late guild The Explorers, mainly Sallaron and Tegan with which I had a blast of a time each and every time.
Fenrir Thornaxe, the epitome of a dour dwarf!
PenNPopper's each character has made an impact on the world in one way or the other and his RP is second to best if not the best. Such immersion.
Acacea Thistletongue, R.I.P!
Arkolio Salvorre -  Why you master mind behind all wicked things! (Yeah I bet it's you isn't it?)
So many more that I can't remember anymore

Anyone who has ever taken the time to RP with any of my characters. The list is long and everyone deserves recognition. Simply put my characters would be nothing without all of you.
Title: Re: Who are your heros?
Post by: cbnicholson on April 04, 2012, 09:14:28 am
Anamesis has it right, but if I had to make a list..in no particular order.

Jennara
Acacea
Steel
Daniella
Jillian
Aerimor

Andrew's heroes...

The Tenkers, Beli and Buddy - it was Beli who gave Andrew his first paid gig and Buddy who - wait - can't talk about it.  First rule of the club.

Jaelle Thornwood, instrumental in shaping Andrew early on, also part of the creation of Willie the Bard, and the reason he quit drinking for good.

Argali Trueaxe, for bringing Andrew into Lor and helping him create James Standish.

Lana Poetr, Melody Widgeweaver, Gel'larian Windsbreath, and Kira for duets, performances, and collaborations.  They have inspired and challenged Andrew to be a better songwriter and musician.

Jennara Creekskipper, too much rp to tally here.  One reason Ty didn't turn out as screwed up as he could have.

Elohanna, for being the reason Andrew finally grew up.  Well, mostly.

Arkolio - for one curt nod and and a gesture to a minion that resulted in dreams coming true.

and Angela/Alantha, for taking a teeny tiny bard places he had no business being and for Lor.

I also have to add on Varka. The rebuilding of Bloody Gate was an important movement for most dwarf PCs.
Title: Re: Who are your heros?
Post by: Chazzler on April 04, 2012, 02:39:08 pm
Yes of course, Benjamin Poetr, the RP from that sneaker was great. r.i.p. Ben.
And of course the extravagant RP of Lonnarin, such creativity!
Title: Re: Who are your heros?
Post by: Dorax Windsmith on April 05, 2012, 02:44:28 am
The old Hawaii Group (that's how I got started on Layo), we had such fun exploring this new world!

Rawkwin Valarious
Yar Y'dnar
Esimon Clearpeak
Kavil Yodin
Rodlin
(and a bit later OsXmallard had some very fun characters as well)

Tamara - The first character outside of the Hawaii Group to show Dorax around.

Ahndar Sussail - along with their guild were the first to be a consistent source of purchasing crafted equipment
Seteece
Xiao
(others too that I can't remember)

Bjornigar Ironguts - The first time I went to Haven mines with him I laughed so hard that I kept chuckling for days afterwards....and really all of Lonnarin's characters are awesomely fun to hang out with.

Ozy - Listening to his stories were mezmorizing...how could he type so fast?

I have to mention GM's from the past as well:

Rhizome - No one could run quests like him....he always put you in a situation where you had to make a choice with real consequences!

Leanthar - I've only had the privilege a couple of times for interactions with "The Man" as a GM, but every minute was exceptional.

Ice Dragon Duvessa - Never a dull moment with her around as a GM.

Many more GM's and PC's have made Layo the wonderful place that it is!

Myself... because I am just that bloody arrogant. (well, Kurn. ALL of my other alts are second fiddle)

I could tout the praises of those who influenced me, but they left years ago.  Long long long ago.

The newcomers, the up an comers they take my attention.  I take note and watch.

And on the TOP of my list of notable heroes making an impact..
*don't feel bad if you're not on this list, this is merely my top top list*

Andrew William Reid (at the top of my list, officially. The upper echelon RPer I absolutely love and adore)
Jetta
Samantha
Alexander Riley
Sehky
Keela
The Sisters Beryl
ANYBODY played by the Hoff brothers.  They are ALL freaking awesome.
Daniella Freakin Stormhaven.  (notice how two of her characters are here? totally awesome in the impact she makes)
Lance and Aesthir  I wish I could make them meet and slay eachother.
Tyra (old and new incarnation, Layonara's hero it Needs, not that it deserves, she is Layo's Dark Knight)
Elohanna
Ferrit/Lana and all her alts
Storold the Storyteller and the utter foe of my Toranite upstart
Fluer
Jillian Stuart

Notice how I list the people who log in currently, and not those folks who left years ago, never to be seen or heard from again?  Most of those I list were here years ago.  They might not have been "known" but they make a difference to this very day.  You make a difference by logging in, enduring, bringing more people in and making a difference now.  You help the newcomers, the old blood and new, you keep the blood of this world pumping.  Kudos to you.  You put butts in the seats.  You keep butts in the seats.  You bring new butts to sit in these seats.  You ARE the butts in those seats.  I wish we had a hundred more for each of YOU.
