Rollcall
« on: July 02, 2007, 02:16:01 PM »
How would you be described (in a few sentences) if you were summoned by the gods and called to account for youself?  Think about it, and post a reply!!

Here are some examples:

Quote
Genesis, the God of Time
Genesis is the creator of Avalon, even the other omnipotents came into being through him. His followers are often accomplished individuals.

Quote
Balin
A Knight of Mercinae who dislikes needless violence. Balin is much happier researching the histories of the land, collecting stories of ages past and exploring the wildlands.

Youngsters, take a gander at some of the citizens you *might* encounter in Avalon...

That's not really what was meant by that.  Would you rather read several paragraphs of joined and quitted and was thrown outs or an at-a-glance?

Long page with a bunch of names, you click on a name and it takes you to Avalon's official roll call.  At least, that's what it did for me.

Yeah, point being, the names and the 2 line bios that follow them are exactly what you were describing...

Hrm, well, in my browser, they turn up as just a bunch of names in a black background, nothing else.

[2010 update]

Algernon was a Mercinaean mage who rose to the barony while quite young.  In adulthood, he became lost in darkness and nihilism as politics in the City of Light turned craven.  While trying out the life of a thief, he was murdered in the Greenwood by a powerful sorcerer with black magic so intense that he could not return.  There are occasional stories of his ghost returning, but these are likely tall tales.

Isiltari - mischievious apprentice magess sometimes too naive for her own good.  She is loyal to her mage guild and her home city of Mercinae.  Open, friendly, and curious to know all about     her homeland of Avalon.

Devoted to Mercinae and the Light, helpful (particularly to youngsters), cheerful and industrious.  Loves learning.  Great at charging, rune-making and the organ quest :)  Useless at directions and hopelessly confused by Zmud  :-[

Eudueria

A guildless magess who is loyal to a fault to friends, lovers and cities. She's passionate and ruled by her heart even when her mind knows better and is trying to find a place she fits in and can focus on developing her combat prowess with the help of those who seem to believe in her capabilities despite a distinct lack of confidence on her part.
