Caerseil -- if she were green, she would die.

[Pandip]

While I'm not good at these things and Caerseil's death is clearly not nearly as significant as Castor's, I felt like this was the first character I've ever made that I'd feel comfortable making a screenshot thread for. There's not a lot to show, but I figured I'd share a few things with people who were interested.

There are a lot of PC's and players that I should thank for all the fun I had with Caerseil, most of them included in these screenshots. Thomas is, of course, not among them, because he is a sniveling bastard. Jayde should definitely get a bunch of props because of all the work he goes through to make us treehugger scoundrels feel all warm and fuzzy. I also need to thank the likes of Mira, XCR, Mucka, and AMB, all of which did tons to add to the enjoyment of playing Caerseil and helped me move towards perceivable goals when I was able rather than just sitting on my hands and doing nothing. Magister, of course, must be thanked for the brilliance that was Castor. Aethereal is a boss even if our timezones never meet up. And if I didn't thank Herostrat, I wouldn't be acknowledging a pretty substantial part of the intrigue in Caerseil's character.

A bit of backstory, summarized so that you don't have to trudge through much:

Caerseil was born on a coastal settlement in Sembia to a relatively wealthy merchant family with a father who was prone towards adultery and various other vices. Her family didn't want what they considered to be little but a plagued creature, and so she was cast into the sea -- luckily only to be obtained by a tribe of aquatic elves. It was here that she fostered her curiosities after having felt stifled by being forced into a very sheltered lifestyle, until eventually she was given leave to explore the sea and, with time, the land above it. Mystified and in awe, she became obsessed with exploration -- with the cultures and practices of lands she had never seen before (and jewelry, which unfortunately never came into fruition in EfU because she never found anything shiny). At one point, she deemed it necessary to try to find her family for the sake of misguided closure. She stalked them for months, watching what she found to be her younger brother with decided interest, until eventually she became overly audacious and her secret was found out in an event that culminated in a brawl with her drunk father, a beating, and finally his heavily marred and bloodied corpse.

I wanted to do a lot of things with Caerseil, but I struggled to figure out exactly how to do it. At one point, Caerseil had in her mind to goad and exploit Herostrat into killing Fury and siding with Senacherib. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every step -- from the interactions I had with other characters (despite how aloof she could be), the DM excellence that I had the opportunity to experience, and the altogether adversity in being widely hated for being lovely and blue.

Alright, blah blah, here come the screenshots:

Completely irrelevant to Caerseil, I witnessed this and got a cheap laugh out of it. Thought maybe someone else might.

Again irrelevant, but it goes to show that Mako sharks aren't to be fucked with:

One of a scant handful of conversations with Elendaerion. This was the first. I genuinely wish we could have interacted more, but timezones and Conclavists decided otherwise.
[hide="that one elf whose name has AE in it and he sometimes casts arcane spells"][/hide]

Here are three of the Mistlocke PC's that Caerseil spent time with (Entoni not so much, unfortunately), in which they discuss the laws of Mistlocke and Caerseil's various intentions. This was a frequent tactic of sorts with Caerseil -- she would intend to speak with one person about an important matter, but invite like-minds as witnesses and to help spread the word of her goodness (and sometimes harmlessness).

Kara and Parrot's deaths, which shook Caerseil's foundation and lead her towards the ambition of getting Herostrat killed -- which she eventually had to develop into a way of convincing him to get killed, because he was a pussy and never left town.
[hide="Kara & Parrot"][/hide]

Sarisa, Violet, and Caerseil were a very odd trio based loosely around the love triangle that Violet developed in her obsession with the two of them. Without diving into too many details, both Caerseil and Sarisa weren't entirely interested in bumping carpets and hilarity and tragedy usually ensued. Nobody, of course, was ever given the privilege of finding out what the hell Caerseil's downstairs looked like.

And then lootz. I apologize for not cropping these, but, well, uh... I got lazy.

And, of course, the very bitter end:

Thank you very much everyone. I wish everyone on team nature the best of luck -- it's trying to say the least -- and look forward to leaping back into the fray whenever I find the inspiration to do such. I missed a lot of good screenshots that I should have taken and some of them are on another computer, but hopefully this all does justice to the memories of other players. I hope you all enjoyed her.

[Apocalypse Nigh]

A shame I did not get to kill you. Well done!

[Gotham]

I wanted to have a char who found out what Carseils downstairs looked like :(

[Valo56]

EVERYONE STOP DYING!

Please.

You make me cry. :(

Great character. *sniffle*

[AllMYBudgies]

Caerseil was a fantastic character to be around, her demeanour was always on point and there seemed so much behind her every word and motion, I just wish that I were able to spend more time in her presence.

While this is a common, and perhaps overused reaction to these threads; I really can't wait to see what you come up with next, Pandip.

[Sponduli]

I didn't really interact with Caerseil much, but when I did, she was a pretty awesome mermaid. Good luck with the next!

[Erwin the German]

One of my favorite characters (though it seems as though they're dropping like flies at this point). Caerseil was great fun, and I very much enjoyed all of Violet's interactions with her.

[Caster13]

Nooooooooooo....!

[Urlen]

Damn we never got to meet. And another blow to nature!

[Aethereal]

I agree with the sentiments entirely, Pandip. Although it should be noted with some amusement, that the conversation in that screenshot took place as the Conclave and Order "war," was being born.

I'll have a look and see if I can dig up any interesting screenshots as well, though I regret our characters falling out of contact, the elemental convergence could have been realised! She was blue, dubbadee dubba... died.

[Lenthis]

I shall say, that this was a quite amazing char. And Got Thelios
SEAL OF APPROVAL-

[xxWhisperingWindsxx]

Well hells :(

[xXCrystal_Rose]

I miss her already. You're an awesome player, and I don't just say that because you shower me with compliments on IRC and tells. Well, no, that actually has a large bit to do with it, but you're still amazing. Loved playing with Caerseil and will enjoy all your other characters too I'm sure.

[TeufelHunden]

Dem purple people eaters.

[prestonhunt]

Well done Fitz.
