Title: The Fury, Erasmus
Post by: prestonhunt on April 15, 2012, 07:20:24 PM
And so it ends.  This is the first character I have felt was worthwhile a screenshot thread since the Underdark, so enjoy:
 
The Build:

The time spent:

He did some quests:

He hunted some Ordersmen:

He cared for a Tree:

He had a great conversation with Senacherib once.  I consider this his finest moment, really:

Everyone who participated in his story, you are as much a credit for him being what he is, as I was.  Thank you.

Hey Preston,

Your character rocked!  It was sad to see your guy go, especially so soon after you giving my guy a chance by allowing him to run...as your guy stalked mine all the way back to Mistlocke.  So much fun.  No doubt, your character has left a lasting mark upon the server.  Look forward to seeing your next character.

Castor seemed like a wicked cool guy man :P im only glad i didnt have to RP with him with Vilin cause he probs would have killed him XD ever since he caught vilin conjuring that spirit he must have always wanted to kill him... good show man and epic items!!!! congratz on your lvl too dont know how ill reach that level!

Course if i had a different character im sure RPing might have been a possibility!

End of an era.  Fury was probably the best example of a druid i've personally seen on EFU, we had a lot of fun interactions between us and i'm glad to some degree that Castor Erasmus helped make Leopold the hero he said he could never be.  Epic story and a truly awesome pc.

Really, really, really excellent play, Magister.

Probably one of the scariest PC's I've ever had to fight against. I just wish I could have interacted with you more before we became mortal enemies destined only to fight.

This is a game where our most satisfying moments won't be struggling against the DM but against fellow players. Cooperating and getting along is reasonable and probably habitual, but in doing this you deprive your story of any meaningful conflict.

The same can be said for characters that lack any notable flaws. The Fury was secretive, vain, power hungry, conceited and violent. But everything he did (to his reasoning) was necessary for the greater good. This makes him fascinating to watch and be around and makes the entire server feel more alive.

Overall, an excellent job upsetting the status quo. I wish more players would attempt a concept this ambitious.

Shame Fury and Badger never got to consummate their wierd bro-hate-mance before the latter died.

He was a game changing character.  I look forward to your next.

You were an incredible introduction into team nature and an unsurpassed inspiration. Thanks for all the fun. I only wish I could have been there in the end.

Both feared him and respected him, was repelled by him, yet oddly drawn to him at the same time.  Marcail never did know what was good for her.

An excellent character, I always looked forward to the often short interactions with him.  

Looking forward to your next.

I could repeat for the 30th time how great a character he was and it would be more than deserved... wait, I will just say that. Oh, and what Winston said +1!

Post by: FanaticusIncendi on April 16, 2012, 05:24:27 PM
What can I say? The Fury changed Tobias and has been by far the most interesting, multi-dimensional character I've had the pleasure to RP with. From seething anger and a desire to spill his blood to respect and protectiveness and even a touch of jealousy toward others who try to associate with him, Fury inspired a wide range of emotion.

Winston Martin is absolutely correct when he says that the most satisfying moments are not struggling against the DM but against other players, and a character with notable flaws and paradoxical behaviors certainly makes the entire experience feel more alive.    

So, thank you Magister.

I can't echo this sentiment enough.  Just so top notch.  You make the server a more interesting place, for sure.

Outstanding Mag. One of the best characters I've had the chance for deep RP with ever. It's sad to think I'll not get the chance to irritate Fury anymore.

Druidic Awesome.

Post by: Aethereal on April 18, 2012, 12:33:01 AM
Rumours and hearsay of a bloodthirsty human claiming allegiance to the Druidic, beyond reconcile, a force to be reckoned with, and the only one to be widely recognised to have achieved a victory over H'Bala, as seen by his Wyldwater effort. This is how Erasmus was known by my current PC, despite their friendly enough encounter when a company of elves visited the Mountains of Mist.

Back when I was playing Aerthras, I enjoyed our little intrigue as he conceded her superiority over a field of knowledge he sought, to the point he was calling her Maester! Though she treated him like a wolf, one who just awaited the moment to bite the hand which feeds him. This was justified as you may or may not recall after the oath which he attempted to limit to her death (which she was all too aware might be at his hand.)

Happy to have avoided his spear, sad for your loss of an interesting PC!

Epic my friend, epic.

Sorry I had to disappear so clearly near the mid-point of his journey.  Damn grad school.

Well played.
