Your Most Iconic PC

Twelve

Dagul Redlocks - Half-Orc Ranger of Malar - he made it through EFU:A and into EFU:M


Raised by orcs in the High Forest, he referred to Malar as Herne.  His embodiment of Herne was a little gentler, in comparision to the orc gods typically worshipped.  He enjoyed hunting animal killers; If a PC hunter was after pelts, not meat. 


He would give them the "Gift of Irony" by hunting them.  As a Malarite he did not use a ranged weapon, and would target PCs and NPCs that used them.

With him, I learned to read, fell in love, befriended a dwarf, became a Guardian of the Ark and was eventually eaten by a Wolf of Malar, as a reward for his devotion to the God of the Hunt.

I was not good at character creation when I made him, so he was a little gimped.  Still he was a lot of fun to play.

Hands down, Ranes Sharboneth, who was a relative of the exiled House Sharboneth.  Through him, I was able to  secure an estate, house retainers, wealth, and noterity.  All that until RwG's assassin backstabbed me with a critical.  Super fun character.

Dorissa Sennesse, without a doubt. I played her for almost a year if not longer, easily capping out the time log at over 34? days spent in game. More than that, she was by far my most accomplished, for better or for worse, PC. Her antics lead in part to the escalation of the War between the Spellguard and Society. While I've learned a lot since then, I still play essentially the same way (if with more consideration to other players) as I did with her.

Echigo

Probably Thorleif Asgrimrsson. I caused a lot of trouble, for sure.

I had a few but I will name the ones I recall the most fondly:

"Doomsday" was a Half-Orc Barb Punisher who ended up being one of my characters with the lowest imaginable AC (I think it was 4-5) while having enough damage reduction, damage immunity and damage shields to make anything hitting him regret it. One of his highlights was when he managed to punch to death (or perhaps it died trying to punch him to death) an Umber Hulk Behemoth, and he almost soloed it as well. His Substance filled adventures eventually lead him to losing an arm AND exploding (literally) from Substance overdose, turning into a... Gnome. Eventually the Druids decided he was too much of an abomination to live and after tackling him down he found that finishing the creature off was much more difficult than expected, and he had the final laugh.

Another Iconic character would be Fehsix, Kobold Knight of the Broken Mirror. A Kobold Fighter Houndmaster (who used his dog for a mount) became a "Knight" when he was cast on a mission/quest to destroy a Goblin God and free the inhabitants of a magical mirror (they were all kobolds of course). Sadly, despite his great adventures and trips he never succeeded in completing the quest, and he was never felled in combat by another PC (that I recall). He was simply retired.

The First "Carp Priest" was also something different for me, as he appeared before the Relic Guardian existed, and was, instead, a Sorcerer Cultist. While he never managed to gain any permanent followers he is responsible for a creating many works and postings about the "Carp God". Alas, now to be forgotten forever. One of my few characters who survived fights in any NPC arena.

Jello!

Rose felher is my pick


I played her for a good bit and had fun with every moment.

I want to say something ridiculous like Beef Lyonson, something ancient like Tarasynora Maendelyn, or something near and dear to my heart like Mirrina Arryn.


Buuuut if we're speaking about Iconic to Other People, then I'd have to say: Cordelia Wythers, by a landslide! Usually I fly under the radar with my faction-less background PCs!

Black_TopHat

Either Mata-MAN the Magical Gender Swapping Specialist of the Spellguard Auxiliary or HRNT Saltman, the eccentric Fighter/Thief/Magic-User made to display my utter lack of mechanics and channel the spirit of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. He loved magic missiles even when they weren't even remotely close to helpful. Both used copious amounts of doodles that I did to entertain myself while working my college day job.

Maybe I've had some other but I haven't been harassed on discord/IRC as much as these two 

Kinslayer988

<SkillFocuspwn> no property developers among men only brothers

Octarine

Bartholomew Shaw, my agent who fought the crystal war would probably be my most iconic.


Or Erron Vastiir, the delirious paladin of Sune, gone Councilor.

Zooxanthelle

I don't feel any of my characters have been particularly iconic, but my favorite character by far was Oophaga the Frog Witch. Doing some shady necro-nature things whilst playing a beloved Stargazer was certainly a time I look back at with fondness.

I loved Rose.
"So what else is on your mind besides 100 proof women, 90 proof whisky, and 14 karat gold?"
"Amigo, you just wrote my epitaph."

By chapters

Chapter 1 (The noob/original gangster Days)

Koinus Sten (An absurdly corrupt Dwarven Watcher that was notorious for his foul deeds and corruption,) He brought a serious of unprecedented low class gangsterism to the watchers. Deeds such as feeding gnomes to kobolds, Selling an elf into slavery, assasinating a councilor candidate and numerouse other infamouse deeds.

Siline Wilkina (A Councilor that was all for democracy and giving the council as much political Power as possible. Sadly her efforts where for naught and due to "Spoiler" lost her position on the council.

Hrugdush Orceater  - The very first hobgoblin to be approved a very viscious monster that dreamed of advancing monster rights drinking a lot and eating people. Sadly eating an elven Spellguard associate got found out and he was executed.   

Chapter 2 The Surface (AKA the supposed paradise everyone from chapter 1 wanted to go.)

Kelian Milomen -My first and only palemaster and notorious open advocat for Necromancer rights. Everyone thought he was just a ripoff of the scholar from chapter 1 but he was in fact a secret cultist of Cyric. I rather enjoyed the amount of discord I sowed and absurd amount of murders Kelian commited in Cyric's name.  Also a veteran of Red Eleint

Talino Floud - The man that made me famouse for my absurd use of a Halberd. A LE Baneite that was part of Gull's black hundred. He was infamouse for absurd sendigns proclaiming that it is Bane's will for husbands to beat their wives and was blessed by BOM with a golden fullplate that had no pants. Talino Floud died in the wilds refusing to commit treachery. 

Putting VP in the dumpster.  This isn't a chracter per say but all I can say is that in chapter 2 I had a series of characters that beat VP's characters in some of the most rediculous ways imagineable including a level 4 fighter greataxe critting a level 7 Drow. This has caused a hilarious rivalry between us including some absurd railroading in chapter 4 to get us to fight eachother and resulting in my epic defeat.

Chapter 3 Undead, Mist, confusion (Sorry thats literally the best name for the chapter)

Isengrim Williams - A survivor of red Elient and my attempt at Lawful Neutral. He blamed all of his woes on the Stewards and Stargazers for releasing H'bala and intended to force them to pay reparations to the survivors of  the Ziggurat. I achieved many of my goals and joined like 3 different factions. Isengrim Williams was rather infamouse for his mythical Halberd crits. I did my best to also portray his absurd alchoholism. (BOM saw me beat up an old lady NPC and called me badass.)

Albert Reed - Just a total obese POS.  A snobby wizard of Comyr that had a thing for summoning beings of the lower planes and abberants. He ended up joining the Conclave and loved to call his foes "Degenerates" his use of the Word.  Absurd tortures, experiments with drugs, murder without permission and other displays of dark magic followed his wake, He was ambushed by holy Knights of the Numerouse Order and burned at the stake.

Chapter 4 A return to the Underdark

Sergeant Odelstad - After binge watching Game of Thrones I decided that a brutal badass obese warrior that embodied a true horrible  mideval Soldier was needed. Alexander Odelstad a true scumbag of Luskan asked no questions and did all manner of horrible jobs for his Luskan High Captain. Wanton slaving, sacking of farms  and warfare against Neverwinter has left his mark. Odelstad joined the Watchers and was openly a thug throughout his career.  He essentially walked up to every notorious criminal in town and offered them protection for gold. A series of corruption and scandals resulted in people being framed, a series of unsolved murders, wanton brutality, and some absurd use of his own men as human shields so that he could claim wealth and glory. I can say that of all of my PCS none have killed/fucked over so much prominent NPCS as Odelstad did.   

Olof Ingman - A very obese mage and elderly necromancer I made him with the ultimate goal of achieving councilor and obtaining lichdom. He also sadly is a mark of my utter failuire in EFU politics, I even lead a legion of undead soldiers against the Stewards and ate a Mycnoid. Ingman was so absurdly corrupt that Markem denounced him and had him publicly stoned. Sadly all of Ingman's corrupt dealings and treachery against him could not be escaped.

Hrm let's see...Barracus Klar, Rashidi Kahotep, Mawuli., Darrius Ahmed true striking drinking rogue, Morn Greycastle the young lion, Cassius Swyft,  Sigfried Stromme, Geoffrey Beaufort.

Favourite was Cassius for sure, despite thoughts of the faction. Geoff probably second.
