Character Study: Admiration And Positivity

[GRIST_]

[Life and death and love and birth and peace and war on the planet earth]

Spoiler: Peace and Love on the Planet Earth

Hello and good, Midnight...
Today, I want to spread a little bit of positivity in the community. I think that a lot of us don't express how much we appreciate other players storylines and how they influence our Roleplay. And that often we leave someone else to just guess if the other person enjoyed the RP. Today is your chance to find someone who you have been admiring from afar and compliment them on their RP, storyline, or their behavior on an OOC level. I'm hoping that this will inspire new and old players to become friends and write something nice about each other! Use this thread to spread a little positivity and answer something about your own personal character!​

1. The FIRST idea of this post is to find someone that you've recently Roleplayed with that is NOT a friend of yours or someone you talk to OOCLY normally. The idea is to encourage other players in continuing their story and to keep learning and developing in Roleplay, as we all are. Possibly find someone you've been admiring from afar or just someone you find has an interesting dynamic to RP!​
2. The SECOND idea of this post is to find someone your CHARACTER has admired from afar and is not friends with. What does your character see in this person that makes them interested in them? Why does your character admire them? Would your character ever be friends with them?[FLOAT_LEFT][FLOAT_LEFT][/FLOAT_LEFT][/FLOAT_LEFT]​

You can just pick one to do! Or both! It's up to you, but use this chance to be nice to someone else that you've always wanted to compliment!

My Personal Contribution!:

Spoiler: My OOC Picks

1. My First Pick is @Kyriosus : I've never spoken to you on an OOC level, but I have RPed with you a couple of times/seen you interact with others. I wanted to express how interesting I find your character and how well you are able to uphold your character. You are also very invested in storylines once they've started I've noticed and I look forward to RPing with you in the future more when I get the chance.

2. My Second Pick is @Lutowski : I've spoken to you a couple of times on an OOC level, but never really in-depth to get to know you well enough yet. However, I think you are very lovely to talk to and I'm very impressed with how much you've grown since you started RP with the Yanar. I think both your characters have had interesting developments since their start and that you bring interesting storylines and concepts to the table. Also, your art is pretty damn cool too!

Spoiler: Merith

My pick for Merith is: Aeawyn (Played by @Lazzulai ): Merith has always been interested in Aeawyn because of how she holds herself and because of her short interactions with Merith. Even though Aeawyn is hostile with Merith there have been times where she has been much more open to having the Vampire around. Merith admires how calm and collected the woman is while also having a very distinct spark about her. Merith could see herself being friends with the woman, had she not flown her out of a window and dropped her, but she will likely always admire her from a distance.

I think it has to be Yurs. She's a really cool person to Rp with and I think that we should all give her a little recognition

Spoiler: My OOC Picks!

1. My First Pick is @Magivore:Besides a passing interaction I don't think we've ever actually spoken before, but I without a doubt love Xilthruum and all the effort you put into generating RP in unlikely places. From what I've seen of Xilthruum I honest to god love him, and every time I catch you in Discord banter you're nothing but positive and enjoyable to be around. I'd like to get to know you better!

2. My Second Pick is @Winterless : Not bad for a PVP God. All in all really cool guy though, I love what he's done with William and hope he keeps it up going forward - we need more archetypal good guys to stick to their guns and do the right thing because they want to. He calls me 'catgirl' every time we talk but I think that means we're friends?? Keep up the good work Winterless, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't turn me into a car battery.

Spoiler: My IC Pick

To be written later!

 

[evilyami]

while we're on this topic:

Spoiler: My OOC Pick.

You - @CRASHIR. The legendary vampire yandere waifu player. I've heard marvellous things about her workings in the hierarchy coven, and the amount of RP you generate with her that's ultimately pleasant for all parties involved. I've unfortunately only seen it a couple times in action, but Merith is definitely a character that will always be remembered.

 

[Winterless]

Spoiler: My OOC Picks

@BillyTheScroofy
This one was obvious, tbh. Even before I got involved heavily with the roleplay scene, he was helping Belegost get involved with roleplay and Lore, through an alliance with House Howlester and involving them in some small part with Regalian politics. He was cool to me, even when he had no reason to be and I was a toxic ass PvPer. Further on, he supported me with my special permission, gave sage advice, and offered opportunities for me in the Violet Order. Cool guy, and I have a lot of respect for him.

Spoiler: My IC Choices

My pick for William is Lazarus Lupenzi (played by @ZiggyStarDusted). Though they haven't always seen eye to eye on issues, William respects him as a leader and as a knight, and in some respects wishes their relationship hadn't soured as it did over the Good Company and.. various other things (Sorry my friend).

 

[FeralGayWalnut]

OOC Pick: @Lizmun We've talked a few times and RPed a few times too, but honestly I wish I interacted with you more because your eldritch horror aesthetic is absolutely bananas and I love it. Plus you're a sweetie.

IC Choice: For Sera, there aren't many she doesn't know by name who she sees on a daily basis. However, Milena du Brierüst, the Violet Press Secretary is one Sera's only just met. She seems nice enough, but would certainly like to talk to her more. (Also Cana is so lovely OOC) @canaaa

 

[AtticCat]

OOC:
@Senpah - We've only just started talking I believe, besides a few oddball messages, but you're honestly really nice! You cheer me up when I see a message from you because they're always so positive. <3

@CrimsletMonarch - I think I've only rp'd with you a handful of times (three or four?), but all of them have been enjoyable! I really glad you got accepted for Aristocrat and I'm sure you'll do great as one, hopefully we can interact more at the palace or events!! <3

@SnashuuPomaymay - We're friends OOC, I like to think, and I know we're not suppose to praise our friends but I think it's due! I like Tiray, as much as Azra hates her, which is why I'm not posting this in IC. I do look forwards to talk to you more and our interactions - friendly RP or fighting. <3

IC:
@Valorist - Valkari - Winifred definitely has admired Valkari from afar, and up close in their few interactions. She already thinks that they could be good friends if even the chance, and hopes to talk to her more in the future!!

@KirbyTheVampire - Akkael? I think that's his new name. - Azra has known him since v4 Regalia, But they've never really been friends. In recent interactions though, she's certainly found that she'd be willing to befriend him if given the chance. I hope to see you around more!

 

[abberants]

my turn!
OOC: @Lizmun I've Rp'd with Lizmun like, 2-3 times. And all the times I have, it's been really enjoyable. I admire them from a distance, and I!! Would make skins !! for them any day!!
OOC: @AtticCat I've never Rp'd with them, but I do like asking them for advice, and whenever they like/comment on something it makes my day. So, like, thank you!! :^)
OOC: @canaaa I've Rp'd (if you wanna call it that, it was basically a "Hi I'm Sveinsina Trausti") once, and to be honest,, milena du brierust kinda scares me,, not gon lie. But I admire her a lot, and she's very cool. (and i stole her round glasses aesthetic,,, oops,,)

IC: @CrimsletMonarch I've RP'd with you several times, although your like,,,,,,,,, never online when I am! Nobellia is a great character and I'd like to RP with her more!
IC: @Werrington I've Roleplayed with you like once, but I think(?) We're friends oocly and !! You're really cool, a great roleplayer and all around a cool person !!

 

[Rowet]

i love spreading positivity, even though i'm very shy, so. here goes!

OOC: @Lizmun -- i've only roleplayed with lizmun two or three times, and the times that i have, boy!!! it was very engaging and i love your writing, especially of nameless one & abigail. i really do admire their writing and i hope that i can reach that level someday!
OOC: @AtticCat -- i BELIEVE i've only rp'd with attic once or twice, and one of those times was a comedic experience, bc we were trying to help someone up the stairs haha! but, i really love azra's character. i also admire them from a distance, i really love their characters and their personality tbfh!!!
OOC: @Magivore -- though we've rp'd a few times, we don't talk regularly, so!!! i love Xilthruum's character, and... once again, i admire you from a distance!! i love your engaging writing and your detailing, and it's very nice to read and very fluid. i love that in writing, and i hope you continue to improve your skills!!
OOC: @Chief -- we've only talked once in dms, but you're a very positive person and i love seeing cal around! your writing is also very fluid & engaging, much like the people above, and i love reading it. very engaging to my imagination!!

and many more... if i've rp'd with you, chances are i'd love to rp with you again, just approach me!

IC: Aurienne would have to admire Cal (played by Yurs) from afar. Aurienne loves Cal's motivation and drive to help others, and she wants to befriend Cal and help her out when she can!
IC: Aurienne would also admire Jinuep (played by @QueenOfKarma) for her strength and honesty, and really wants to get closer to her! She also wants to learn a thing or two in combat from Jin.

 

[notjayp]

Let's do this.

OOCly, I really enjoy rping and talking to two people:

- Kingdom56 ( @Ebrima ) | I really like to crp with him, he's pretty good at it and is fair enough when it comes down to everything.

- @LumosJared | On the now rare-ish occasions we see each other ICly, it's always been fun to rp with Jared.

 

[Kingdom56]

OOC:
- @notjayp : I really respect this roleplayer for their conduct in crp, and just nice disposition in general. But more importantly the fights I have with their char are pretty fun and enjoyable to the point where I'm always excited for the next showdown.

- @Caelamus : The interactions I have with your chars is always interesting as there is always an air of mystery surrounding them that leads into interesting narrative one way or another. I hope you keep role-playing a salad.

 

[canaaa]

hey gamers i guess it's time i hop in here ! sorry it's so long aaa

IC: @SpunSugar - i love how you hold onto each character you have and very clearly develop even the smallest mannerisms! especially with genevieve, there's a lot going on under the surface and i love how (it at least comes off that) you have it all figured out, even to the details! for charlotte, genevieve is one of the first profound noble people she's interacted with, and she values it so highly- it's helped her grow as a character and be more proud of what she does! for milena, it's a little murkier, since we haven't done much- but what i do get from you when we do get the chance is amazing!

IC: @MantaRey - every one of your characters is so dynamically different! each one has a different heart and soul and i really want to get to know all of them better ic and ooc ! personally, my favorites are grevaris and katriane (in no specific order) because i've had the most rp with them and gotten to see some of the things you've worked out for them! grevaris and katriane have both been Significant for charlotte's character (militia arc, court artist) and it's changed the way she thinks about a ton of things ! for milena, she sees grevaris as a Gal Doin Her Best and katriane as someone to be listened to and respected- and i love how you can differentiate those vibes!

IC: @seoulmate - i love amelina. i'm the BIGGEST amelina shill. she was actually some of my inspo for milena, among some other sources! i love how you play the character as careful and cautious but also SUPER daring and really just ! out here to get what she wants, y'know? that's super cool to me. there's a lot of depth here that i would love to get into with tea parties in the future! <3

IC: @notjayp - lathai is an enigma. but he's been through a lot and he does a lot, and that's super super cool! i love how headass this man is, and icly, charlotte actually did his crown and dragon sculpture first because she felt more inspired by his general personality :O ! milena thinks he's a cool dude too even tho there was that one time with the [REDACTED]

OOC: @Caelamus - we haven't rped much (besides the door conversation at that soiree and post-WIS battle) but i really love how you word things! azelloa as a character is really well developed and i'm super excited to get to know them in future!

OOC: @AWildResi - we actually rped for the first time i think ever last night! but you're super super nice and i really love seeing what all you do with kara. <3 keep it up !

this was really hard because i do end up usually talking to the people i rp w/ ooc AAA

 

[Bearacuda]

Only pick for Lida here is @alianon 's character FAUST when we get to talk or RP it's always cut off short or limited because of either work or setting we're in. I can only count a handful of true moments really. Thing is Faust is a older character that's pretty interesting compared to others

 

[AtticCat]

I forgot and I'm being bullied into it ://

@notjayp is pretty cool too I guess

 

[booette]

i love this thread! incoming positivity post about friends, passerbys, and general encounters in rp. i play a know-nothing, and her design puts me in the special position where i can dive into the intricacies of their design, which i think is really cool ! it gives me a solid window into the thought that these players put into their characters, and i'd love to appreciate them in public for a moment

Spoiler: ooc

OOC 1: goes to @Caelamus for sure. when my character was new i was a bit unsteady with how to proceed, but it was the dually zany and scary roleplay i got from Azelloa that really cemented my desire to go around and take bits and pieces of wisdom from characters. he is present in almost every community i visit, and his hunt-based mentality is so pervasive in everything he does. awesome character, intricate design, always fun to roleplay with even in passing interactions

OOC 2: goes to @Magivore and his character xilthruum. i interact with him frequently, and it's always a breath of fresh air to speak with the lich. he is equal parts intimidating, verbose, entertaining, interactive, and hilarious. he'll go out of his way to include people in a scene, and his teaching/lecture rp is always pleasant to sit in on

OOC 3: is for @Duwuterte and his character buckwheat. his disregard for any expectations, his lack of forethought in most situations, the sheer recklessness behind him is something i rarely ever see. buckwheat is a wildcard in the truest sense of the word, and in spite of that, still manages to have really interesting introspective conversation about identity or his ideals. always funny, always very candid

OOC 4: is @Banard and his character hagmer. i first roleplayed with him maybe a year ago ( ? ) as a kathar and i've always felt that the character's design is strong. he's unfalteringly himself at every turn, and he stands as an iconic and intimidating character. more than that, i've always appreciated banard's dialogue for his characters - they fit well and they feel more than just modern english. i've seen my share of phrases from him that have left me thinking 'oh, well. that was really cool'

OOC 5: is @Icaruscien and his character astaroth. not only is the character and magic design super cohesive, he's another case like hagmer where i've felt like the character has a strong identity. haven't had much interaction w/ astaroth himself on the new character but what few moments i did have were telling of the individual, and i enjoyed them fully

OOC 6: is @Carlit0o and his character kel'drocos. i mentioned earlier how buck's recklessness was unparalleled, and i think i'd be wrong to not bring up kel. i remember being astounded about how an entire arc spawned around a game the character had been playing with others, handing them coins and whatnot. he was confident and overzealous, and somehow was never lashed out for it. his dynamic of starting fights or getting involved in any form of violence is a sight to behold

OOC 7 ( and the last i think ) is @OkaDoka and her character Vivana. just like with cael/azelloa, i interacted with her at a time when my character was very new, but both oka's competency with rp and vivana's charisma made it easy for me to step into the role. the character just feels like a leader, and manages to deliver really interesting lines all the time. the character is reliable, proactive as a leader, yet manages to concern herself with the individual states and wellbeings of the people she's involved with. lots of fun, and a really interesting character

Spoiler: ic

IC is a lot shorter, but it definitely goes to @Lizmun and @MantaRey . I barely get any interaction with lizmun, but i do manage to witness his roleplay on my peripherals from time to time. mad respect for the guy and his cult, i've alwaynt to have a cultist arc one of these days. elmyra would jump at the chance to interact with the nameless one because religious fervor's not something she's encountered before - the amount of insight to be gained from a zealous cult leader

as for the latter, i've heard so many good things about manta's colorful menagerie of characters, yet i've never really found the opportunity to find roleplay with any of them. sometimes i'll spot one of manta's emotes and feel bad about my own :' ) . they just seem so vivid with imagery and nuance about the character, conveying a lot without ever needing to write a lot. my character would want to interact with gwenyth because of how highly in esteem she's held - what wisdom would she have to impart? why do so many people trust what advice she has to give?

 

[BulbousDevourer]

OOC: @Caelamus - Haven't RPed or talked OOCly with you all that much, but your inclusiveness with RP and OOC chillness is much admired, as is your overall RP skill. Hope to interact more in the future!

@Magivore - RPed and talked with you a handful of times OOC, but you seem extremely chill, with characters that are consistently engaging. Never, ever feels like Oblivion dialogue during RP, and I never see you speak with unwarranted rudeness or anything of the sort OOC, which is something we should all strive for, as much as possible.

@Lizmun - Much the same as the above two. Super cool guy, and it's a shame that our RP encounters have been fairly few, as your characters are all incredibly interesting and 3-dimensional, and each interaction has been very memorable.

IC: @AtticCat - Tad bit embarrassed at the quality of my RP during my interactions with Azra, seeing as the bulk of them were done when I was a complete noob to RP, lol, but I like to think that my skill and Akkael as a character have improved a lot since then. Definitely down to interact more with Azra, as is Akkael, seeing as he finds her amusing in his cured state, if a little annoying. (His thoughts only, just saying!)

 

[CrimsletMonarch]

First off- @AtticCat and @deerrie , I'm more than happy to RP with the both of you. It's honestly a treat to be around you both ooc and ic. I enjoy interacting with Haeddi Harhold and Sveinsina Trausti.
I love how Haeddi is very engaged in conversations, often asking questions and such. I also feel intrigued about her experiences and the stories I've heard about!
As for Sveinsina, I love how there's a fellow Northern aristocrat to be around and her background intrigues me as well as the business she heads.

OOC:
1) @Chief - I honestly love interactions with you and your character, Cal. It's a breath of fresh air to have Novellia around Cal, as well as to be doing work with the Silver Heart. It's great to see a character, who also wants to do good and just is plain kind. Your way of playing Cal makes her endearing and has surely made her someone to remember.

2) @TheBioverse - I've had the chance to RP with you on two occasions, once in Regalia and once in 1920s Regalia. Unfortunately, in both instances, they sort of get cut off by events taking place. Still, I enjoyed having Novellia interact with Vhilomir. I love the amount of history he has and the relaxed nature of their interactions.

3) @HeyoFreyo - Honestly, I love how you've already got events planned with your entry into the aristocracy. I always feel engaged whenever I get to RP with you. Also, speaking with you OOC is pleasant and I look forward to hopefully planning events with you.

4) @G0atfather - From what I seen so far, it's enjoyable to have you in the aristocracy. I'm intrigued and I look forward to see what House Slumberwood does!

5) @KK134 - You're involvement with the Nonnateans and then, also House Slumberwood is great to see. I like how engaged you are and honestly want to try RPing with you some time!

6) @Arhbi - Actually pretty scary, but you're alright!

IC: (contains Novellia commentary)

1) @Battlebrawn [Klaus Typhonus] - Novellia was rather surprised and delighted to find that Klaus was kind in how he spoke. She's intrigued for one, because she knows of Klaus' relation to Reinhardt, whom she wishes to see again. Yet after the tea party, she wants to know Klaus better after seeing his seemingly relaxed demeanor. She never quite got to hear of him speak of himself, so she's been left curious.
"Ser Klaus Typhonus is someone I didn't expect to meet at all. When I saw him at the tea party, I was intimidated. Even if I'm on good terms with some of his family, I was worried since I heard of how uptight House Typhonus and Calemberg seem. But after having the chance to speak to him, he was rather kind to me. He also didn't mind engaging me in conversation. It's silly, but I want to know him better, because he seems easier to speak with. I also don't think it was good of me to speak about his relative in the manner I did. I want to see him as who he is, not through lens of his family members."

2) @Patsie [Florance Kade] - Novellia doesn't know it was Florance Kade, who was cheering her on and encouraging her at the soiree. However, she always wished she could properly thank the person for their kindness and support. While she tends to be confident in her singing skill, to have someone show support even before she lets out a note gives her more warmth and motivation.
"Ah! The lady with the mask who kept cheering me on? I hope by some graces I'll meet her again and that I actually figure out who she is. I want to thank her for the support. While I seem confident, I do worry, so to have someone's support even before I start is the best. It makes me happiest to see people enjoy singing, dancing, and music. It's the dearest to me."

 

[SnashuuPomaymay]

OKAY. I FINALLY FOUND A SECOND TO REPLY TO THIS.

First off! @AtticCat YOU. You blessing of a person !!! I really enjoy Azra and Tiray's interactions, they're really interesting and honestly it's a lot of fun for there to be someone irp who both makes Tiray's blood boil but simultaneously intimidates her to no end, because there aren't many people that do that to her! It's an awesome dynamic. To top that off, you're really fun to interact with ooc too, and I'm glad to've met you!! <3

Spoiler: OOC

OOC:

1.) @JoyShake ! I haven't spoken to her all that much oocly, but I hear plenty about her, and the few interactions I've had with her have honestly been so wonderful! I adore seeing her characters and the illustrations she makes of those character's / stories, it's beautiful- And when it isn't beautiful, it's something goofy and cute, to give me something to laugh about! I love the stories she's built on this server, with Bree especially, and I aspire to eventually become as great an artist as she is! She's one of the people that inspires me to continue to try and progress my artistic skills, as well as my story-telling skills through illustration. If you haven't seen her art threads, I recommend checking them out, she's seriously the best at giving a story in the form of one picture, and I still love going back to look at her newer and older works alike! <3

2.) @Fergoff ! Okay so don't get me wrong, I know I'm not supposed to pick people I'm already friends with, but I couldn't not make him one of my picks. I've known him for a few years- Almost three, I think?- And my interactions with him have never been stale. I don't exactly interact with his characters icly all that much, or at least not anymore I don't, but I've been around long enough to've seen where his current main Leufred started, and frankly the amount of progress and development he's made with that one character is incredibly admirable from where I stand. He's very good at writing up stories and character designs, and I'm excited to see where he continues to take Leufred, as well as his other characters!

3.) @Lumiess ! I don't think I've ever actually one on one interacted with them, but I've seen and heard quite a lot about them, and I absolutely adore their character Mae! I've had very, very few ic interactions with the character, but I have seen them about plenty, and I love their design! I've also seen bits and pieces of their other characters, and god dammit I always adore their designs, they're honestly beautiful, smh. To top it off, Lumi is one of the many wonderful artists I've seen on Massive! I absolutely love their art style, and though I don't see as much of their art around anymore, it's still incredibly inspiring to see their progress and works on the occasion all the same!

Spoiler: IC

IC:

1.) @Nesstro ! Tiray has only ever had one or two short interactions with Kai, and hasn't really been around her again since, but she already believes the Sihai to be quite wonderful! Due to Kai's defense over Mei'ku, who Tiray holds dear to her as 'the local rat kid,' not to mention she complimented Tiray's style along with a few other bartenders at the nook, she's immediately received a good impression and decided that Kai is most likely a good person. Most likely. Maybe. To top it off, Tiray will pretty much respect anyone that'll help her insult and belittle a Sihndar, so. As far as she's concerned, Kai's a pretty awesome person!

2.) @Mid_exe ! Tiray has very, very rarely interacted with Amaria, and the few occasions she has have been horrible from her point of view. I wouldn't so much say she admires Amaria, but she does actively search to irritate her, and thus, actively searches for her attention. It's more of a subconscious thing than anything else, and it can easily be called a grudge, as she does mostly insult and berate Amaria's existence solely to spite her, but it doubles as an activity she does out of boredom and her practically endless will for attention. She has no real, proper reason to dislike Amaria, outside of that one Covas incident- But to be fair, that was mostly Covas' fault. Who knows, maybe Tiray will give up on her grudge to befriend the woman in the future- If she ever stops being a Vampire, per say- But where it stands, Tiray is just a thot for attention and even more of a thot for angering people over stupid, petty stuff.

3.) @notjayp ! Lathai lol nuff said. Okay but rlly, Lath and Tiray do know each other, but I don't wanna go through the process of finding a third person to even out the scales, tiray hates everyone pls

 

[Antimreoir]

As someone who eternally watches from a distance and doesn't actually have any friends, I guess I'll post about those who I think highly of. I respect a lot more people than this for tolerating my toxicity, but these are a few of the most notable individuals.

Spoiler: OOC Picks

@FireFan96 - Having only spoken to the good von Drachenburg we all know and love a few times on an OOC level, he's someone who's been consistent in the roleplay scene ever since I'd joined the server. He and @Wumpatron form the duo who, at least to me, showed me how to make Combat Roleplay in particular something interesting, whilst also showing me a bit on an introduction into the Viridian Order. Namely, your consistency in playing one character for such a lengthy extent is something that I find to be incredibly impressive, being someone that can't stick to one character for more than a few months at a time.

@Jonificus - The resident softly spoken lad was always someone who quite honestly intimidated me to high hell, the duality between himself and Hengest couldn't be any more notable given how nice he is on an OOC level from what I've seen. Whilst it's mostly my fault for imparting OOC on IC to a minor extent, I've realised in recent times that Jon is a great guy, and Hengest a character that spurs plenty of roleplay by being so goddamn scary.

@Battlebrawn - Indirectly the sole reason I still roleplay as Marissa, or brought her back rather. We roleplayed a decent amount between Erwald and Marissa, and I sure as hell would like to speak with Klaus more. I wouldn't have enjoyed roleplaying her as much as I did if it weren't for the friendships she initially created as a privateer, Erwald will forever be the Admiral to me. You don't talk much, from at least what I've seen. And I respect that.

@Film_Noir - Someone who, like FireFan has been a consistent part of roleplay since I began on the server, and someone who's consistency of character I still greatly admire, as well as being the central pillar of Naval roleplay. I've spoken to Chris sparsely, and yourself even fewer times, but I think you're pretty damn cool.

Spoiler: IC Picks

Jared Kade - @LumosJared - Jared is a character that Marissa has only spoken to a handful of times, and whilst she's mostly interested in his military capacity given he and Marissa both offered their services as Blades tutors, she is somewhat interested in him too. But in particular she would like to spar with him.

Ardige Viduggla - @HydraLana - The progression roll-god has Marissa's respect even long before he danced his socks off at the Imperial Progress, given he's so high in the Martial chain of command it's only natural to hold him in high regard, but seeing him try to be quietly excited during the prize awarding made her want to give him something even if he didn't dance.

Julius Peirgarten - @Anarchizm - Julius, whilst being somewhat scorned in the public eye for his ferocity and seemingly cruel nature has immense respect from Marissa. Both with his schooling as a Blackmark, but also his decision to become a Curate to atone for his brutalities. Marissa hasn't interacted with him on much beyond offers of employment, but someone who strikes so much fear into aberrants and criminals walks the grey-moraled line that Marissa is often too kind to walk.

Honestly it's both difficult for me to put into words and explain and even more so for me to find a concrete list of people both ICly and OOCly, I know so many people who have absolutely beautiful characters and beautiful roleplay to go along with it and my character does as well. It's hard for me to really choose who to put on this list and who not to, because every character is unique in their own right, even the most mundane of seeming characters have a special quirk.

I'll try my best to list some people but if I don't list you, don't feel left out, you're all wonderful, there's just so many of you.

Spoiler: OOC

@KirbyTheVampire First on my list or well first on my mind is Kirby, particularly his Sihndar, Tehlmar who I don't personally interact with all that often but absolutely love and adore the character. Tehlmar portrays the Sihndar archetype down perfectly in my book in all the instances which I have had the pleasure to roleplay with him. I actually was having a conversation with Molly earlier about him, and we can both agree he's an absolute delight. He brings so much to the general atmosphere of a roleplay and portrays a sort of dark-brooding vibe so well. I strongly agree with the points that Molly was making.

@canaaa We haven't roleplayed very much but I absolutely adore your latest character, the theme and aesthetic you've gone for with them. You're an absolute delight to roleplay with, don't be afraid to pop by the house to roleplay with us all more often.

@apath I genuinely really enjoy the roleplay that you give with Elm, every interaction has been wonderful and exciting, especially from the day to day roleplay that gives it a highlight to make the scene really stand out. I've really enjoyed as well the more recent scenes you've provided. I'm really glad that you decided to stick with that character and continue pushing story lines with her. She's so incredibly unique and interesting to roleplay with and really delve into, along with her air of 'mystery' she brings to the table. It's a bit like Tehlmar too in a since that she provides so much for the general atmosphere of the roleplay and brings so much to the table.

@CrimsletMonarch I've come to really enjoy your singing roleplay in the Nook, whenever I came in I would always sit down just to read through it, sometimes I would even try to sing along OOCly to some of the lyrics.

@Senpah In all the interactions I've had with Dahlia, however sparse- I think you renamed them recently, didn't you? They've always been wonderful. It's been a long time since anyone has genuinely tried to run an IC clothing shop with selling OOC skins, and had been successful from it- but I truly believe that yours can and will succeed. I really enjoyed coming in to roleplay and see how things were going.

@Optimalfriskies Thank you so much for providing me with the winery and other means of roleplay when I really needed it. I love your characters-- I've actually always watched you roleplay even from afar. I've got to say Severin is probably one of my favorites to date.

@Magivore I absolutely love your antagonist characters and your more wholesome ordinary characters. Your latest, Xilthruum conveys itself to me like one of the best. In my book a good antagonist is someone you can feasibly relate to in a way as opposed to being blatantly the obvious 'bad guy' trying to destroy the world. But has more relatable goals to someone as a person. With their own lives, qualms and problems. Characteristics to make them seem normal or like they have a personality beyond just simply being evil. I absolutely adore Xilthruum and his Phylactery.

@YunYun I've honestly watched you roleplay Synne for a long time now exluding up to the point where we have interacted in more recent times. I adore them as a character, they're so down to earth and wholesome with an interesting backstory and family. They strike me as the sort of young character whose story could go either way-- in any direction. They're a blank canvas still waiting to be painted. And I'm so eager to see just how it goes, they're already such a vibrant and wonderful character to roleplay with.

@Walnoodle We don't roleplay often but I have always sort of watched your RP from a corner. I'd like to say that Seraphina is a very fun and interesting character in roleplay, I honestly would love to roleplay with you more, or more in the violet order!

@ everybody I would like to say however to anybody I didn't specifically mention, you're all wonderful roleplayers and all of your characters are fun and unique, it doesn't matter if I've tagged you or not, continue on with your story lines, your characters and keep on going, there's always someone out there who enjoys you and your characters. You're all fun to roleplay with and that's what makes this community so wonderful. Go out there and have fun!

IC wise there is far too many people for me to add, as my main character Azelloa wants to practically befriend all of Regalia in some way. I don't have any IC picks because there are so many!


Also @CRASHIR

Ok let's get this. I've written 80% of this while I was half asleeep so i'm sorry if it sounds like i'm on crack

OOC:
@Banard - I don't get to interact with you often but when i do - hoo boy. Usually tensions are high and your grand, descriptive emotes bring me both joy and make me look at my own emotes and weep. I enjoy the dynamic between Nameless and Hagmer and really wish they could get to interact more often - even if on less-than-friendly terms

@OkaDoka I've talked to you some OOC but never have rp'd extensively with Viv. I wanna have an angel vs Eldritch Demon battle one of these days!!

@Follower I rp with you pretty often but I've only talked to you like 3 times in a VC. I think what you're doing with Estel stuff is really cool, and I would go as far as to crediting you for the resergence of pretty much all estel religious roleplay - it used to be that estel religious rp was very 'meh', but now I actually find characters pretty devout to the faith, and a lot of them mention Leironse as being part of it, which I think is pretty dang neat

@Lord_Immortal I remember you from WAY back. I know you haven't always been popular with a majority of the server's population - and even at one point I admittingly didn't like you much. Though in the past 4 - 5 months since your return, I have been watching you from afar (which sounds kinda creepy, sorry), I have seen that you have grown and improved on yourself, and in a way, I'm proud. I'm sorry that I wasn't very kind to you in the past, but now, I'm rooting for you, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the table next.

@Yigit I don't get to interact with your characters often, but every time I do, they always stand out to me! I can't quite describe it, but there's something to the way you roleplay that I just enjoy.

NOW FOR PEOPLE MY CHARACTER(S) ADMIRE

Nameless One:

Azeolla @Caelamus : Although nameless both hates and fears the Wicker Mage, they can find in their heart quite a bit of respect for their rival yanar - particularly in their effective and strong leadership skills.

Hagmer @Banard (Sorry, both I and my character admires you) : Although Hagmer scares Nameless shitless, they do often find themselves listening to what he has to say when he gives a command. At first it was out of fear and worry - now, it's sort've stockholmed into a vague 'hey i kinda agree with this guy'. This admiration is born out of fear, but Nameless can certainly respect the strength of character Hagmer shows.

Abigail Tucker:

Cal @Chief : Abigail loves Cal with all of her heart!!! She's her ride or die, even though she knows that Cal probably doesn't feel the same way.

Zzuros @Ghirko : Zzuros is always really nice to Abigail and that's literally all he needs to do to deserve her respect and adoration. She enjoys talking to him and asking for advice the few times he gives her it.

OOC PICKS:

@LumosJared -- When someone always calls you the protagonist, there has to be some meaning behind it. You were one of the first people to welcome me to this iteration of my RP on this server, and the combat you offered at the very outset was exhilarating and fast-paced. You're the reason I am where I am now - the job I got through slicing poor Jared's beard off is the job that pushed me through the ranks, into a special permission, and then into the position I hold now as leader of the Nelfin coalition. So, thank you. We may not talk, ever, but you're a big reason I'm here, and I appreciate that more than you probably know.

@HydraLana -- I've always known you as the guy people went to for lore, but each time I've bumped into your RP it's been beautiful and well thought out. I'm really excited to look for the chance to do stuff with you on a technical level, to see how you make that wonderful writing work and to get to know the guy who's worldbuilt so much for all of us, sometimes thanklessly. Your marriage lore made me incredibly happy, and while I do not know your characters I would be very pleased to change that. A great influence and a wonderful community member, I hope to see more of you around.

@Lumiess -- I may hang out in the same places as you, but that doesn't mean I really hang out with you that often, like I might with Emma or Bell sometimes. I've come to realize that you're a great RPer with an adorable sense for aesthetics and motifs, and each time I've managed to interact with you has been different from and better than the last. Even now I'm looking forward to grabbing Penn one of those dumb so basically i'm baby snakes he wants so much and just seeing his reaction, and I feel like I'd be doing myself a big disservice if I didn't poke you more often and get to know you a little better. Maybe I will right now.

IC PICKS:

@Bellarmina -- Aesling is an adorable young woman who's suffered unduly in her yet short life. Vivana, even as she is, has a lot that she wants to do for her - whenever she's around, she ends up trying to get her to work through her worries and her upsets, and does the best she can for her. Her worries about Aesling 'falling' like her compatriots and friends dominate her opinion of her, and until she can clear that skewed vision of her she isn't going to be able to truly get to her goal or manage to talk to her all too often. Still, despite their none too regular contact, Vivana hopes that she can do right by her.

@Tibertastic -- Oh, Vulmar. Though Vivana's had relatively meaningful interactions with him on a political and motive-based level, the two of them haven't ever just gotten together and shot the shit. It would be fascinating for her to speak to the man who personally prosecuted the war against her fief and former overlord just two years previous, and it would be equally fascinating to truly grip the mindset that drove Regalia in this bygone era of conservative politics. She has the odd feeling that they are the same manner of person, but with different goals for different peoples, and connecting to someone with the same root desires as herself is a refreshment the Altalar much needs.

@Walnoodle -- I'll keep this one short and sweet. Female knightly figure, hears about another female knightly figure? Let's meet up, girl.
