Jain's halls of fame

You'll probably wonder what this is about. Well, it's easy, it's about stories and about characters.
These halls of fame will have 3 sections.

In the first I will be bundling all my own stories which usually start from my own favorit toons. Why that section as first? Cause I'm full of myself?... nahh... I just been playing a long time with the idea of having an overview on my toons and stories, just like a few other players also have done here with one of their own toons. :wink:

The second section is about your stories, and the stories or posts I really liked a lot. There's not really a ranking there in which I favor the most, so if your story is at the top... >.> ... just coincidence :lol:

The last section will be about other people's characters I have come across, and see what memories caused them to make it to my halls of fame :wink:

PS: I will try and keep it updated in the future too :P

SECTION 1 : MY OWN STUFF

The Elvina series :
My first character I started to rp with and write about on Dasaria. She is not however my first toon ever on Das2... my Battlemedic Sandrina was. But at the time (2008) I really lacked english. Elvina is a woman who since childhood features warlock powers, and who lost her parents around the same time. She was raised by elves and even married once to one elf named Zinna Dawn. But their marriage wasn't everything and Elvina left her home in search for information about her parents, about her powers and to see some of the world as the pace of the elves was too slow for the human girl. She came to Cear and a lot of adventures started from there. The stories in Elvina's main tale and Zinna's are numbered and sometimes jump back and forth between my thread about my other character Zinna Dawn whom I also played back at the time and who was created to support Elvina's tale. At some point a bluish haired woman (Angela Wrath) shows up in the tales and she is connected to Elvina's fate as well, and thus the link to her tale that sometimes mixes with Elvina's and Zinna's. Many times I considered to update those first posts as they are filled with countless of mistakes, but for now I let them be as it shows how it was for me to learn english.
For Elvina's name I was inspired by a children performance here in Belgium that was called 'Elvina and the dragon'. Hellcat I made up myself. Zinna Dawn originally was the name of a toon I used in a space SF story I once started to write in dutch long long ago, inspired on the Eldar of Warhammer 40k. The name Angela Wrath just fell in my thoughts during a thunderstorm. Don't ask me more about it!

Here and there in 'Coming Home' which is more or less after the stories (mostly) : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12774



Depheant :
My second biggest character (to me at least) has always been Depheant Makepeace. It's about a young man who lived his entirely life on a ship in service of his parents but who at some point had enough of it and decides to chase his dream of becoming a knight. The character is clearly the romantic type of toon and several didn't think he'd make it. But the bard did get admitted to the Argentum Vigilo where he is still carving his path towards full knighthood. He's also rather adventurous, but what do you want with a guy who has only seen the world from his father's ship? His story hasn't ended yet, so stay tuned.
His name is inspired on a friendly dm I knew from the days on Dasaria1, where my english was completely ... well... not good. Dm Depheant and also the character was very kind and helpful to me.

'Coming home' : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12774



Lucius :
A story that inspired me to do more evil/shady characters. It's about a gang member who becomes leader himself one day. The story isn't finished either and probably never will. Don't let that keep you away from it as maybe who knows, it inspires you. Lucius however is still around. I rp his gang 'The Circle' in Dasaria fell apart and he may or may not start all over again. The story link was more about his past anyways where he met his partner for life. That player may be not around anymore, but Lucius will always stay with his Yaassima.

'Coming home' : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12774



Garet :
My chance to roleplay and write about a knight within my own developed faction, based on the server's Tharon deity. Garet is a warrior with knightly behaviour, a bit romantic but above all also dedicated and devouted to his god Tharon. He was my first toon I got more serious with in the religion stuff. His story isn't big and certainly not finished either. But it doesn't really have a beginning or end, so... feel free! Garet is also married and till the end of times dedicated to Reina.


Garet Mellan : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11818

The silent general : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12835

'Coming home' : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12774



Sin :
More religious related stuff. At least that is and was my intention with Colothian Sin. This is about pure and wicked evil with a fair touch of naughtiness. I don't think I'll shelf him. For the time being he's a member of the Ordo as crafter and I'll see what time brings. I surely still intend to write some day about what his religion is doing to him... and what it will make him do. TBC...


Between good and evil are many sins : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12862



Some other loose small stories :

Madam Franciezka, member of the Circle, not retired yet and one day I may write more
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12896

Esmeralda Figura, currently missing. Retired probably, but I intend to give her tale an end.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11358

Kitty, not a dasarian toon, but one I played elsewhere. Her backstory isn't finished either yet.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12598

Alexa the Artist, she was actually my first attempt to play gang/evil, but it failed a bit for me. Still, a story!
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10702

Nameless character, no spoilers, I may intend to finish it... some day, rofl
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11674

And my newest guy, Sirvius Darkmoon, still developing him.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13288


There are several more posts about some of my toons in other places like locked forums or other people's threads, but I'm not going to bother on gathering them.

SECTION 2 : OTHER PLAYERS' STUFF

First of all I like to say that I read a lot on these forums, paying attention and learning from others how to write. That's how I got started myself and by reading yours I tried to improve myself. So thank you all for your threads, stories, posts and pms! :)

The ones I mention in my halls of fame aren't necessarily what I consider the 'best'. Mostly they are just the ones that stick to my mind, that I find interesting or that are/were somehow important to me for various reasons.

And there are a few I deep down inside hope will get more updates or a sequel. Who knows? :wink:

I classified them according the year in which the last update was posted. So a thread could have started in 2012, but when it saw its last update in 2015, then you will find it under 2015. So my list comes in a kinda chronological way.


PART 1 : 2016

Domina / Celestia up to date : I always was secretly curious what she had to tell about mine and other people's toons. Keep it up! :mrgreen:
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11169

Sunset Fallow / A Conflagration of Ice, The Story of Crysari : I'm curious how this will develop, knowing the toon already a bit. IMHO it's well written too.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13287

Sunset Fallow / Dianthe : What Wired said !
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12157

Domina / Riddel time is everything : I only met Riddle once or twice and found her intriging. The story is nice too.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13066

Aegis / The Unexpected path : I actually read various posts of you, Aegis. I hope you will do some more!
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13204


And that's it for 2016, folks. Hope to see more
Upcoming ... 2015 - 2014 - .........

PART 2 : 2015

Cypher / Weathered Journal : I just love journals, short texts, easy to read and where you can start imagining and wondering a lot about a toon.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12693

Staffsgtskunky / Events of Zeo : I really saw a lot of effort put in this. And each time I saw a post, I immediately wondered : What did Zeo do today??
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12129

Outbreak & Kell / The End : I think Kell 'jumped in here' wonderfully. I wish there was more to read on what happened with Xarion!! *Shivers*
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12910

Outbreak / Walking in his shoes : What Dm Odin said!
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13011

Domina (& myself) / Celestia - The Sword Collector : Perhaps one day something to pick up again. I admit I'm curious how it would have ended for Cel. Plots... plots... Dom's specialty.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13007

Domina / Celestia - College girl : This was very interesting and also nice to see Cel in a student setting.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12349

Group stuff / Black Sails : One of those nice group efforts to rp on the forum, initiated here by Dom. Why we never 'finish' them??
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13008

Staffsgtskunky / Leana Dawn : Another one of Staffs in which I bet he put a lot of effort, in which others joined and. Read them all and I still recall some of the IG moments about this.
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12162

Rohenna / Recompense & Atonement : I really looked forward for more on this adventure
