Not a character, per say, but as Celina I always wanted to RP with Hallifax because I found Glom/Halli collectivism to be interesting, the orgs share more than they like to admit I think, and they have a lot of really cool players. Being a PKer, however, leaves little room to RP with other orgs though. The rare occasion where I was able to, it was pretty much just various colorful implications that Celina was a uncivilized cavewoman.

Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

@Sylandra asked: is there a player you think you'd have fun interacting with, but never have really gotten to know in-game? Why would you get on? Why haven't you yet?
@Lavinya came to mind for me as well. She seems to be into tea and decorum, and I don't even get the impression that she's all that evil. As for why we've never chatted, it's mostly to do with Daraius being wary of foreigners (he's gotten better), and me being a social recluse. The days I feel like I can RP in an even remotely compelling way are few and far between, so a lot of times I barely venture out to RP with the folks I'm already perfectly comfortable with.
Oh geez, I think my answer is actually a lot like the flip-side of @Fyler's. I admire a lot of people in enemied orgs, which can result in weird barriers to RP.
@Thul's bardics make me think he would be such fun to spend time with ICly, for sure. Same with @Tacita and @Persayis, but do they even play anymore? Would also be up for getting to know @Lavinya for reasons above. Writer nerds.
There's also several (old?) Gloms I have interacted with in the past but wish I could have interacted with differently. @Fyler, @Synkarin, @Narynth, and @Xenthos come to mind here. Politics and PVP does a good job of preventing good players from always being seen in their best light, I find, and I think it was the case here. Narynth used to absolutely terrify me every time we discussed the strenuous nature of the Halli/Glom alliance, lmao. And the one time I talked to Sidd ICly basically resulted in him being disappointed in Hallifax, while talking to Celina mostly centered around whether or not Sylandra would stay enemied to Viravain. So on and so forth.
But I think, I really do think, if I had been a player in Glom at that point instead of in Hallifax, I would have really appreciated and loved interactions with those characters. They're fully fleshed characters who have such a strong place in Lusternia. I think if circumstances had been different, I would have enjoyed getting to know them.
(Also want to add @Kaimanahi because she is so cool but we like never talk, anyway hi I think you're awesome.)
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
Question for everybody: is there a player you think you'd have fun interacting with, but never have really gotten to know in-game? Why would you get on? Why haven't you yet?
Pretty much anybody from the opposing alliance. Because inter-org RPs are hard, but awesome. And it's fairly rare for people to feel comfortable interacting with somebody that they disagree with.
I just enjoy being frenemies with people.
Mayor Steingrim, the Grand Schema says to you, "Well, as I recall you kinda leave a mark whereever you go."

Hi, hello. I think you're swell. Let's be friends.
Generally I wish I RPed more outside of Celest, but I've mostly turned into an uncultured goober who just runs around laying waste to noobs as a kill-snipe champion, pretending to be relevant and all the while blustering about "BACK IN MY DAY".
My favorite quest is definitely the asylum; the generator puzzle is great and Ceria's elixir earns you some quality interactions. Oh oh and Dramube is great fun LOLJOOOOKESx14
If I had to join another org, it'd probably be Serenwilde since I like the underdog good guys. But then again, something about freedom from a moral compass is so appealing.

I don't know @Sylandra, why haven't we crossed paths yet?
Still taking questions here.
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
I'd play Gruenella, and I'd play her like Callisto from the Xena series. I think the whole joker/batman I exist to make you miserable dynamic is interesting. She'd be off her rocker, but not like rambling ranting crazy. Callisto was always well spoken in the series, and could communicate her hatred of Xena, even if her reasoning was nutso. Her tenets would focus heavily on retribution and vengeance.
It'd be fun, if I could do the whole admin side of things. Actually building and writing makes me miserable, I just enjoy the interaction.
Like this:
Gabrielle: "Can I ask you something?" Callisto: "All right. We both know how much I love chit-chat." Gabrielle: "When we were at the village and Xena was talking about Cirra, did you feel anything?" Callisto: "My goodness, are you trying to figure me out? I'm flattered." Gabrielle: "Answer me. Or are you afraid?" Callisto: "Let's play a game, shall we? I'll answer your question, if you answer mine." Gabrielle: "All right." Callisto: "How did I feel, when Xena confessed her crimes. Well the problem is Gabrielle, I never feel anything. I mean, bits and pieces here and there, but nothing solid. Think back to when you were a little girl and all you knew was your mother and your sister, and all of your faith revolved around them. Now kill 'em. My turn." Gabrielle: "What?" Callisto: "When I sliced open your husband, how long did it take him to die?" (Laughs) Xena: "There's a path out of the mountains... (Gabrielle walks off) What's wrong with her?" Callisto: "We played a game of Truth or Dare, and she's not very good at it."

About three years ago, I applied to be an ephemeral. Obviously, I'm still here, but this is one of the room descriptions I wrote up. The god I halfway designed was going to be a sort of alchemist/poisoner, making things from various substances during the Elder Wars to heal and hurt. He probably had a dislike of Maylea, and would be drawn to either Glomdoring or Magnagora in that order, with a minor appreciation of Hallifax with their logic.
The Fulcrux of Oshterel.
Dark and warm, this fulcrux is filled with mechanical creations of all shapes and forms. Bottles and alembics bubble with unknown fluids all over the area, the sounds mingling with a panoply of ticking from the clockwork contrivances interspersed around the floor and various caches within the sandstone walls. The scent of oil and grease fills the air, leaving a oily taste on the tongue and coating the skin. The ceiling is low, and holds netting of various shapes and sizes filled with projects long put-off but never forgotten. A shrine to the Artificer towers here, covered with symbols both arcane and scientific.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

@Maligorn wanted to answer this question I posed in the Divine AMA thread so I'm putting it here:
What misconception do you think people from other orgs most have about your org, and why?
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
We have some rather obvious dark that people might miss. We started a war with the empire, we engage in blood magic and necromancy (not tainted), the willing sacrifice themselves (or are sacrificed) to strengthen the forest, and sometimes we go too far like with Grutina(which resulted in a civil war)
I guess the forest might be labelled as the Seelie court, but the Seelie court seems a lot nicer than Serenwilde and there's the likelihood that at some point you might encounter an aspect of the forest that just expects you to know the rules? A bit more like a wild animal that's used to humans maybe?

Just curious, but what text(s) are you referring to for the Seelie Court?
@Selenity It's not an ic thing. Just because the forests both have links to the fae there have been comparisons of Serenwilde to the Seelie court while Glomdoring gets compared to the Unseelie court.

I know it's not an IC thing, I know about the Seelie and Unseelie Court from OOC methods myself (amongst them being my religion), I'm wondering which OOC books you're referring to. I can see how someone can draw comparisons between the Seelie Court and Serenwilde, but saying the Seelie Court seems nicer than Serenwilde... well, I'm curious which RL books you're referencing.
@Falaeron Inquiring minds want to know... your name sounds more like Flareon, why are you running about with a Jolteon avatar?
Because I never considered it to be like Flareon! I'll tell the tale of how I got to Falaeron since a few people have asked me and it gives it a bit of context.
A few days before Ascension I realised that if the stars aligned and we won then I would need to get a new name. I had been told that Estarra just kind of puts you on the spot and asks you for your new name so I wanted to head into Ascension with one in mind. I asked @Aramel for ideas because she is way more creative than me but like usual she threw the task back at me and told me to come up with names and she would approve or reject them. She also gave me a couple of rules. One of them was that it had to retain the "Fal" and the other was that certain letters were not allowed (for various reasons, primarily phonaesthetic). The list of banned letters grew to just under half the alphabet by the end of the brainstorming session. Falaeron was one of the two names that stood up to her scrutiny, but at the time I wasn't really 100% on board with it yet. Honestly, I just felt really attached to the name Falmiis!
Anyway, come Ascension day and I claimed the staff. I suddenly realised I actually needed a name now. I messaged Aramel but her internet decided that was the best time to cut out so I was left there, facing Estarra and the rest of the admin crew by myself. In my panic I went back to the two names on my list and picked the one that I liked more. I didn't realise what I had done until after I could hear my clans again and everyone started calling me Flareon.
Later, @Sylandra posted on my forum wall asking me when I would change my avatar to Flareon. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to confuse everyone. Flareon is a fire-type. Falaeron is an aeromancer, so it only made sense for the avatar to become Jolteon instead.
