Aldric Walden, the Integrous Man.

[Ironside]

What can I say about Aldric Walden? From the very beginning he was envisioned as an outwardly friendly man, a somewhat doddering Halruuan of wealth thrust into a decidedly harsher world.  And like I'd hoped, the world quickly set about changing him.  A man who started as a well-meaning magician quickly became a scheming and conniving bastard when his duties demanded it.  I could say more, but I'd rather just say I had a lot of fun.  


RwG's Warlock and I were joined at the hip:




Science is fun, doubly so when you have research subjects. (Thanks to LordOfCinder for the shot!)




The Auxiliary in all their glory.  A man could not ask for better faceless goons. Love you guys.




They made me do it, honest!



Mad respect to Abala Quickfeet's player for sticking to her guns through thick and thin.  Made me feel genuine remorse for every time.



The Auxiliary players really went above and beyond with THE SPELLGUARD CARES INITIATIVE, which was a personal favorite.  




And here is a final shot of some scheme or another, I sort of lost track after a while.  




Props to everyone I interacted with over the past months, I would list you all but I don't like carpal tunnel!

A buddy cop film is a film with plots involving two people of very different and conflicting personalities who are forced to work together to solve a crime and/or defeat criminals, sometimes learning from each other in the process. The two are normally cops, but some films, such as 48 Hrs. (a cop and a con), that are not about two cops may still be referred to as buddy cop films. It is a subgenre of buddy films.

Frequently, although not always, the two heroes are of different ethnicity or cultures. However, regardless of ethnicity, the central difference is normally that one is "wilder" than the other: a hot-tempered iconoclast is paired with a more even-tempered partner. Often the "wilder" partner is the younger of the two, with the even-tempered partner having more patience and experience. These films sometimes also contain a variation on the good cop/bad cop motif, in which one partner is kinder and law-abiding, while the other is a streetwise, "old school" police officer who tends to break (or at least bend) the rules. Another frequent plot device of this genre is for one of the men be removed from his natural element: sometimes in a foreign country or new city, a "desk jockey" used to paperwork being forced into the field, or a rookie or non-cop partner who is unfamiliar with police work. When this is done, the other man acts as a guide to the unfamiliar.

In his review of Rush Hour, Roger Ebert coined the term "Wunza Movie" to describe this subgenre, a pun on the phrase "One's a..." that could be used to describe the contrasts between the two characters in a typical film.[1]

The cliché was satirized in the film Last Action Hero. While the movie in itself was a buddy cop film (i.e. pairing a fictional cop with a real world boy), the film's police department obligatorily assigned all cops a conflicting buddy to work with.

A subgenre of the buddy cop film is the buddy cop-dog movie, which teams a cop with a dog, but uses the same element of unlikely partnership to create comedic hijinks. Examples include Turner & Hooch, Top Dog andK-9.[/hide]

Aldric really brought my time on EFU to life. I would never have enjoyed this server as I did if we hadn't met. Thank you.

Nurturing Walden when he was a wee little low leveled new mage was fun, and then you went and grew up on me into a spellguard agent when my back was turned. He was fun.

[Vault Shrike]

Here I had so many hopes. Alas! Well done. :)

[PanamaLane]

Well done! Walden is seriously missed!
