I haven't created a whole lot of characters during my time on Massive, although I have a few ideas for characters I'd like to play at some point. However, I very much prefer to focus on only one or two characters at a time, so unless I decide to retire Alasdair or Faran for a bit soon, I'll probably just be sticking with them for now. Of these, Rhiannon and Conor are both shelved, but I've considered bringing Conor back up-to-date on current lore to play a Cahal.
- Alasdair Douglas - Caeren Ailor - July 14, 2019
- Faran Hasylas - Aiel Cielothar - January 5, 2020
- Conor Mac Athirne - Aontaithe Ailor - October 18, 2020
- Rhiannon od Doithwaite - Breizh Ailor - January 1, 2021
Ailor is definitely my most played race, but my favorite is probably Cielothar. I love their aesthetic and all the neat lore, and I enjoy being able to have both the fun, cutesy wholesome RP along with an occasional tap on darkness. I think the reason I tend to favor Ailor is because of their flexibility - I usually pick an idea or concept before a culture/race instead of the other way around, and Ailor is something that can fit into just about anything. Also, I like all the different cultures and they're a lot easier for me to skin.
Races I haven't played, but would like to:
- Fin'ullen Altalar
- Minoor Altalar
- Url
- Fridurfolk Ailor
- Avanthar
- Qússrakón Ailor
- Yanar
- Asha
- Eronidas
Some of these I have ideas for, like perhaps a Minoor traveller that eventually got Urlified, or a Fin'ullen inspired by the darker side of predatory merfolk, or perhaps a nod towards the selkie or something like that. If I made an Asha, I think I would have fun leaning into the pirate theme, so that's a possibility, and I like the idea of an Eronidas artisan. Others, I have nothing other than, "Ooh, they're cool!"
