He fizzled out. I started to lose time and to lose interest, thus, toward the end I hardly played Micah. Now it has been close to two months, so I figure it is a good time to retire him - a part of me wanted to get back to him only to try 64, but honestly, I don't think that would've been a good idea.

Micah saw his inception in me wanting to try to play a cleric, but as I had a profound dislike for religious RP, I made him be a spin of deism. Nine-Faced God was a good choice to make, as it was quite far removed from conventional religion to begin with. He believed in universal constants that made for the world, and acknowledged the existence of other gods, but considered them to just be powerful creatures with a capability to see and bend the nine universal truths.

Micah considered "Nine-Faced God" to be a state of being, in which one would perceive all the Nine Faces in one, a state in which one would be free of physical and mental constraints, and simply be aware of everything. However, that'd mean being aware of everyone else's consciousness, and so it would come with a loss of sense of self. It was his aspiration. He was heading for Baz'eel for a reason that's not really a big spoiler, but it  could be considered a minor one, so I won't mention it here. Ultimately, he would've ringran to the presumed center of the City. He, in his own way, was very unscrupulous and would subtly guide, push and manipulate people in ways that'd further his own ends, and had quite grey morals.

I wish I had written more, and I had started to, but never managed to publish more than one book as a work of his.

I want to thank everyone who was part of his journey, but I cannot really begin to list all of you, since it was a lengthy one. I made him at the start of the summer, coming off of Veit, and played him actively into November - so about half a year. Special thanks to each of you who ringran with me. It was a blast with our very weird and dysfunctional group!  Anyway, here's some screenshots.

Sheet, at peak while fully self-buffed. These were all the things I could provide at no real cost, but it did require setup. So there was no true strike, bard song or wizard shenanigans:

He had one piece of loot. Thanks HB!

Here's a full dump of unorganized screenshots. Sadly I had to exclude a lot for various reasons, be it dialogue or locale. He kept... a rather curious company, as you might be able to discern from the screenshots. Worst of them all must be the gnomes...
