Kassava Glynvellin

RIP Kassava.

I had previously played EFU:R only briefly and Mistlocke even less so, so this is the first actual character I have stuck with here. She started out a strictly self-interested, backtalking warrior who lived her elven father's life of crazy survival naturalism and intended outlast the apocalypse as long as she could, without getting involved in other peoples' stupid problems.

That didn't last very long. The natural inclination of the character as she grew in skill was to sympathize with (most) orange cloaks against her better judgement, and go out of her way to help out decent sorts just trying to get by. Even so, she had no interest in signing on with any faction, as she only expected them to get her killed. Her natural role was eating hits for others, so she developed a certain ill-advised dedication to the people she travelled with, even if it's not how she saw herself, and even if she occasionally hated them. She naturally developed into decent material for a loyal soldier despite her cynical nature.

Cue her interactions with the Linderil twins. Naturally they met and developed an acquaintance through quest-crushing, and over time became closer. Kassava initially disliked elves for the simple fact that elves typically disparaged her on account of her mongrel half-bloodedness, but she found good humor and camaraderie in the pair, and it eventually developed into a real friendship. She heard more of their quest, and came to believe in it despite her own lack of cultural roots in elvendom or closeness of the Seldarine. In time they asked her to consider joining the Sentinels of the Coming Dawn. Kassava was never sure of her place in an elven diaspora, but for the sake of her ties with her friends she joined.

The sisters became the only people she trusted implicitly, and she began to determine her own direction based on what would keep them and their quest most secure from the intrigues of Sanctuary. She herself had plenty of options as a fairly mercenary fighter of experience, but she had ceased to view things in that way. After a time she saw herself as dramatically less important than their quest, and loyalty compelled her to consider herself expendable to it. She was furthermore too stubborn not to go down for the compadres she tried to shield for, which are the two things she tried to act on in the end.

I have very few screenshots, and the juicy ones I have are best posted a little later. I think outside of her death I only have shots of the musclebros lunking out in the square and of Marbury's player being a goober.

Loot? None. Her best piece was the Fighter's Splint hero loot. It's basically anti-PC race PvP armor, looted from a nameless trog in the filth caves at level six or something. Very prestigious! It looked awesome and I loved it, and for obvious reasons I wore it in Sanctuary at all times until I coughed up the cash for crafted plate.

I had a lot of fun all around. Kassava was a paranoid, sullen mess by the end, so a great many interactions I wanted to have didn't happen in the amount desired (or at all) due to her suspicions of the PCs in question, but thanks to everyone I roleplayed with and who helped me have a blast on the character.

What happened to your Intryzz loot for winning that no-magic tournament when I got DQ'd? :(
RIP favourite PC who kept calling Aaron a moron.

[Random_White_Guy]

I full enjoyed our interactions on this and previous PCs. It was fun to see her development overtime as she became far more (Rigid isn't quite the right word but all I can think of at the moment).
A great play on the duality of the Half Elf!

Some screens!

I didn't screenshot her character sheet. She ended at level 10 with 130 hp typically, with between 18-22 AB depending on what she did. Her mechanical defeat in the fight prior to the roleplay death occurred to Evards; the fate of any dirty RSD. Would you believe me if I said I always expected to get FDed by Evards?

These are stupid and frivolous, but in a way that's appropriate to the character's attitude for much of her time in Sanctuary. All are from late in the character as well, as it generally didn't occur to me to take them. They are just what occurred to me to cap at the time.



[hide=Deep within the Rotlands, alongside her intrepid friends, Kassava hears warning of the TRUE foe;]

Alexander the Dirty, a most foul license defrauder. She thought this was the greatest Sending ever made for some reason. She just wasn't that mature at heart.[/hide]

[hide=Anyone wonder what Zarquon did in Final other than trapping elves on top of towers?]

[hide="Install Lunk Alarm in Square" should be on the Spellguard List to save the world, right under "Turn Coolant to Maximum".]

Now for the actual stuff. I hope it isn't too spoilery.

[hide= The party broken, the foe makes them decide.][/hide]

[hide=She isn't selected yet. Thinking her friends doomed no matter what, she is too loyal to desert them, and too stubborn to name names.]

There were a lot of interactions in the Fugue, but unfortunately I only captured a bit of it. I may post a little more, but I also may have shown way too much already, so I'll hold off. I hope it's alright, as it only really shows her own role. Huge thanks to SanTelmo and Ironside on top of all the players involved. It was a rough but appropriate, and oddly satisfying end to the character.

I wish I had something more insightful to say but alas!  Kassava was a truly excellent character and for the time we could, I truly enjoyed playing beside her!  Her dying is sad, but seeing her pick her side with elves in the very, very end and going with them makes me truly happy.

[Ciorbă de Burtă]

Her evolution was really remarkable to see and was something I reflected on as a player. I didn't know the PC very well, but what I saw of her made clear that you are an excellent RPer! Well done!

[Jello!]

Gonna miss Kassi

[Pandip]

One of my guilty pleasures in fiction is the trope of the grimdark, apathetic survivalist turning into the warmhearted softie, and it was wonderful to see Kass dedicate herself to her half-elven heritage and work with the Sisters to reinvigorate the pantheon. Really enjoyed a lot of our interactions, as much as they typically ended up being tough-girl violence and grunting, hah.

[Vegan_Snickerdoodles]

Just a few more before I shut up, since it's now a little more tied-up in-character.

We'll always have the circle room with the falling rocks.

Sad, I liked her a LOT.  Well done and a well played  coming around to her elven heritage, even if in the name of loyalty. 

[Vax]

Not exactly sure the right words, but I really appreciated her presence. That sort of cool and collected thing, but then she was concerned about an old dwarf. Not a ton of interaction, but I really appreciated what was had. And thanks for the cameo in the screenshots!

Thanks for playing RSD well, it was a delight to watch.
