Prisoner #34105 - "Jasper Oakley"

[Cruzel]

Wow. So, this was a wild ride.  Thanks to Wundy for tossing me a build that was pure crush. I originally intended to join the Covenant with him, but his only point of contact was Crazy Helmsworth, which put him off the idea once IG.  I wanted to play a concept that was super pvp-heavy, so I could get better at PVP. And boy, did I pvp. I didn't always win, but I had a blast in every fight along the way. He hung out with thralls, with paladins, necromancers, and anyone else.   Much props to Dina and Abala, without their Prefects and the general server environment at the time, Jasper would have never thrived as he did, causing so many brawls and riots and escaping without any consequence.  Huge love to CD and Gloinar, for the bromances with Drathekqos Iso and Arkanon Quib'Kalin.  And Obviously, to Ironside for making him a robot man. Jasper became infinitely more fun to play after that.

The concept:

I wasn't really sure how to reflect a "True Neutral" PC.  Jasper's take on it was that the only motivation he had in life was a variation of the mantra "Only the strong survive."  He didn't kill for greed, he didn't care about causes, laws, gods (faithless) or grudges.  If someone had something he needed to survive in the desert, it was a greater mercy to simply kill them for it, than leave them to starve or die of thirst.  Since most of his youth was spend raiding and murdering, he never had the need to develop social tact. He was a completely honest person, at all times.... since he had no motivation or reason to lie. He'd prefer to tell the truth, piss someone off and get them to fight him.  He accepted every fight challenge he ever received, no matter how stupid it was. (There was a couple I lost in the flurry of text walls) A few times he'd want the challenge, he'd jump in and help the underdog, even against his own "allies".   Because of his crude and uncaring nature, he found people tended to trust him completely. They'd talk about their plans and so on when Jasper was hanging out with them, and Jasper like an idiot would mention these things offhand to their enemies. (Sorry Helena Falconer + Others, for telling everyone you were a Thrall.)  9 Wisdom for the win.

​~The screeenshots~

The sword. For the vast majority of his life, this was the sword Jasper held. Through the riots, through murdering Milles Snyders.  He held it until his death, a backup incase he was disarmed. He was always the sentimental sort.



The powersuit:



Those were the only pieces of loot he really had. Everything else was either starter gear or basic quest drops.

Other shit in no particular order:

​Always mug the bard.


​Facing off against team ooze as a level 4 solo.


​Bromance with Kalin. (Lina would've won her bet)


 After their fight, Kalin told Jasper he was going to Kidnap Lina.  This happened.



No explanation needed



Family and friends.



Very tactless.



One of the PC's he killed had this. He gave it to Ophelia for cheap in order to get potions "at cost" forever. Good deal, IMO.

​



​And most importantly, the killing that led to him being a robot man~






​And immediately after~




​He boasted for a while about his kill, and no one seemed to care. The prefects assumed it was justified. Only one stubborn dwarf refused to let it go. (<3 you Angyvyrr) So, this happened.





​I have screenies of the rest, but I figure those are spoilerish! So, enjoy the end result:



​Some reactions from his former frenemies:



​And a more recent quip:



​And, That's all she wrote!

A great job. I am very surprised that you said you wanted to put him in the Covenant but was put off by Dermott. From Dermott to Magnus I enjoyed our interactions with immense satisfaction. Glad to play with you again Cruzel!

[RagingPurpleGiant]

I was terrified of you and your steam powered arms. Now that I've gotten a look at them I see it was for good reason. I'm sad to see we will never have an epic battle.

I hope your death was like your character, that is to say very cool and steam powered.

Offering you free potions to punch burk in the face: 456 coins.
Offering you free potions to punch Miriam in the face: 0 coins
Sparking a 5-way brawl throughout the Watch House for the lulz: Priceless.

Enjoyed the fun.

You made me as patriarch of ROBOT HOUSE!!!!! proud. Nice job representing the Experimental game.

[Vlaid]

Baller PC, first Experimental (more or less) to complete the process!

Very well portrayed and interesting Experimental PC, even if it wasn't on purpose.

[Decimate_The_Weak]

Excellent PC.

[The Old Hack]

Alas, poor Jasper! He added so much presence through his sheer stubborn Jasperness. The most priceless moment I think I had with him was recently when he and Jaras were talking together and kept calling one another 'idiot' and 'imbecile.' Dracca was so tempted to ask them when the nuptials would take place <3

[Skovox Blitzer]

Jasper was great.  *brzzt*

[NothingGoldCanStay]

A great first real experimental watcher. I'm glad Burke pushed so hard for it.

You didnt fool me for a minute of who was playing him, after all that innate Cruzel h8s NGCS reared.

See ya pal.

[Golgo13]

Jasper was a riot.

[Wench]

Beep boop, you're an idiot.

[goate]

I thought he was a great PC, until I learned Cruzel was behind him!!!
