What is the opinion so far on Hoihe's book?

I've tried to write it as much in his Point of View as possible.

Thanks, I did this now and it works well. Its better than writing into an empty scroll with the DMFI tool. :)

Alright, I've honestly avoided this page because I thought it a silly concept as everyone has preferred styles of RP and differing opinions of how a race, class, alignment should be played. I never really cared if someone thought my orc was too orcy, my palemaster too pale, or my warlock was too evil, as long as I had fun and didn't ruin anyone elses. (huh, do I always play baddies? Drow paladin is next!)
- HOWEVER -
I've recently been told by someone they received some very good advice from here so I thought I would open myself up to the scrutiny of my peers.
*Deep breath * Here we go...
My main character is Sereniti Waerloga. A daggerspell. I've been playing her for a little over a year and really havnt played much else except a grey named Ugluk Onslaught. More interested in your opinion on my play of Sereniti tho. So, how can I improve my methods, RP, concept, biography? Whatever comes to mind. Feel free to be critical if need be, but if you're going to harsh on me I'd prefer a PM so as not to be committed to hunting you down. :D

I had an enjoyable time roleplaying with your mage Shilarra. You seemed to like staying in-character but, by all appearances, were not fanatical about it. As far as I am concerned that is the best way to play on a server with a relatively large population. Immersion, depth, and narrative flow are all great but, let's face it, most of us are not masters at interactive storytelling.

Just as it is rewarding to strive to improve at roleplay and to flesh out our characters as three dimensional beings (with flaws) it is good to remember that, ultimately, the person we are interacting with is another player (i.e. a human being with feelings).
I know not what life is, nor death.
Year in year out-all but a dream.
Both Heaven and Hell are left behind;
I stand in the moonlit dawn,
Free from clouds of attachment.

I have been playing on the server for a while, and have actually been thinking lately what people think of my character and her way to behave.
But all of us know, the person is "kind of" a second personality you have to live out, and at times we might think different about the way to react. But everyone ain't like each other.

But here it is .

I'm Playing The wierdo Shirtza Viragh. Who have a strange way to behave at times. I haven't really been playing other characters than her. so she's my one and only you could say.. What i mostly would like to know, is how people think of her and her way to behave socially.. and what ever people can find to tell me about.

I do not mind if you come with Critiques, but i might be able to explain why it is like it is.. And i might avoid to explain or keep it secret as people have to figure it out in-game.


- I might not have spelled everything correct or places it right, tho that's because my native language differs from English

Sorry to go a bit astray, but believe me - non-native speakers very often have far better written English than most natives, especially when it comes to spelling.

You should be proud that you got to know a second language apart from your own and use it to this degree, while many Brits struggle with French and are far behind to what level you're at. Americans...? well... let's not even go there :D From experience...

Once again, I am poking my head up there.


How're the following characters?

Hoihe Dacino the Endless Snowflake?
Calinde Elestar the Titleless Snowflake? (yep contradicting, eh?)
Hanten Saulo the Han Solo rip off (Yeah.. I admit! This guy is made for more or less comic relief of mine when I was a bit bored so... Still! How is the greatest Jerk?)

Also.. Hoihe's draconic titles' authenticity:
FR wiki/Draconomicon wrote:Genrally, the Draconic sentence follows the order of Subject Verb Object, though the Subject may be omitted if it is understood or part of a command. Also, if a sentence is a command, and written, is will often include the previously mentioned "fireburst" symbol (*). Draconic has no word for "my" or "mine", but uses a series of prefixes, depending on the exact meaning. An object that is claimed a dragon speaker would begin with "veth" or "vethi", a being with a relationship to the speaker, such as friend or relative, begins with "er" or "erthe", and all other forms of the possesive begin with "ar" or "ari". For example, for a dragon to say "my sword", or "the sword is mine", he only needs to say "vethicaex". Or, to say "my enemy", he would say "arirlim". To indicate possession by another, the name of the possessor is combined with the object into a single word and prefaced with "ar" or "ari". For example, to say "my enemy's sword" he would say "arirlimcaex".
(same thing is found in draconomicon. But it's summed up well on FR wiki.)

Aribahamutdarastrixarytiss.

Ari = Possessive prefix. Bahamut: Possession. Darastrixarytiss = Dragon Warrior. So either Bahamut's Dragon Warrior or Dragon Warrior of Bahamut.

Placing an I at the end makes it plural. Aribahamutdarastrixarytissi Dragon warriors of Bahamut.

Also.. for the Finns... AribahamutDarastrixari-tissi. (You'll find Hoihe and Kelburn are tough guys after reading it lol. Ari means nothing on it's on.. let's just go with "War" or "Aryte")

Hey, for all those who were in the Soubar event I want to say sorry. I thought it was going kung Fu all over the place but it took a diplomatic turn and I dragged it out for too long on my characters own.

He had his intentions and I think this might be a set up for much better event, if both the elves and the dwarves might get on board together but alas, I will not be the one to organize it. I think others should be allowed that privilege and I hope to be invited because Laisren wants to kill that bandit assassin quite badly.

DM O deserves a round of appluases for that though. That was not a planned event, no one scripted it. He took it upon himself to pull all that together and offer us a glimpse at the new northern expansion. Thank you O, that was extremely kind of you :)

I've been here a while, now, so I figure it's time to ask!

Any criticisms/problems with my portrayal of the character Caruvial Arcanscape?
