Lightfingers

Right, so I put myself up when I was very little and hadn't come into my own in the land. I figured I'd put myself on the chopping block again for some of the newer people in the land and some of my old comrades who have yet to comment on this thief..... I expect brutal honesty.....

From the little I've interacted with Lightfingers, I find him to be an enjoyable adversary and very honourable in his actions. We need more people who play like Lightfingers.

With the exception of one time when he jumped me (but did have the grace to apologize) I have found Lightfingers to be an honourable and courageous opponent.

Hmmm....

Lightfingers is a very determined man. When he's got a goal, or an idea in his head, it doesn't matter what, or who, gets into his way, he will do everything in his power to accomplish and do it. However, sometimes, when truly disheartened, he'll give up too easily and just go back to old habits, which isn't always a good idea. But generally with a little prodding (or a great big bang over the head), he'll see the light and run with it.  ;)

He is exceedingly charming, sometimes too charming, which can be worrying at times but I'm sure his intentions are pure.  ::)

He also has a great well of patience. After all, he puts up with Adaryn on a very constant basis, so he must have something going for him!

I could go on, but the rest are things that the rest of avalon hardly needs to hear....

He's really come into his own lately, both in combat and leadership. He's matured and advanced greatly as a character and it's wonderful to see him taking initiative and stepping up as a voice on the council and to the young in Thakria.

He takes his role of justice aide quite seriously - perhaps too much, at times, to the point of beating himself up if things go wrong, or overtaxing his patience and resources. That's quite natural for the step in the game he's at; eventually he'll learn to get more laidback and focused on specific goals (read: lazy) like us older peeps.

Props, babe, and much <3

Lightfingers is a great mainstay of contemporary thakrian citizenship. Stalwart leadership and courageous actions earn this thief a healthy dose of respect in my book. He's a fun one to fight with and he's always looking for ways to better his fighting repertoire. Keep up the great work mate!

He seems to friendly at times to be a thief. My memories of a thief are people like Sturge, stripping and killing me in my guildhouse. He's actually much more moderate than the thieves I've met/fought/been stripped by; certainly, he is much more "moderate." He's a good ally and I know I can count on him in a fight.

He has a spunk which I think can be his downfall. I was this way when I was 150 years younger, *grin* but it's a natural progression. I have no doubt he'll continue to improve, as he has the right attitude which is the first step to greatness.

Keep up the good work mate and as the wise man says, "GO GO GO."

Sonja brings up an excellent point about friendliness...
I think Lightfingers likes to use that friendly side to get close to his enemies as well at times... I remember when Zadar had Light set up security for the mystics because he was friendly with him. Now Lightfingers likes to let himself in as often as possible.
Thievery is much easier when your marks hand over their goods willingly..... I think Lightfingers strives to be more con-man than thief at times...
Thanks for the feedback and keep them coming.

I've got nothing but good things to say about the guy!

The first thing I remember about Lightfingers was him telling some teensy newbie that he was going to make him "eat his own liver" if he continued to slap him in the face - Clara overheard and it made me laugh!! Oh, that and he spat Yarl at a lw Clara when he was passing through Merc at one point and I got all in a muddle cause I had no clue what it was!

Clara decided to start accepting challenges and challenging Lightfingers because she was such an abysmal fighter as a Mystic which got really frustrating - there is nothing worse than so wanting to do well and just not having the skill and/or support to do it! Poisons were what got her every time and she wanted the practice with healing... he was friendly and encouraging and always took the time to have a word afterwards to talk about ways to improve ... it was for this reason that she started thinking about thievery and I'm soooo excited that she was accepted into the guild!

He's been really supportive and a great help in the short time since she's joined the thieves ... his friendly manner and methods of teaching really make Clara is eager to prove herself and her loyalty, not only to the thief guild as a whole, but to Lightfingers himself for having the faith in her in the first place. Even though he dislikes coddling and fussing, she'd have no problem going to him with any kind of problem or anything she was struggling with, whether that be in the guild, with her skills or in Avalon as a whole. Don't reckon he'd take any shit tho! And don't plan on testing that theory either *grin*

On top of all that.... you're a funny guy! Make me laugh!

Be good now!  :P

Lightfingers is great.  We need some Yang to the Yin in the lands.  Actually, I wish he was a bit more relentless.  He's only growled at me once and not a smirk, smack or grilling since then.

 ;)  There are certain characters which you look forward to seeing as they always make for amazing adventures in Avalon.  Lightfingers.. you are one of them.. I can always expect hours of entertainment when your around.  You drive me to be a much better fighter. Death by Lightfingers always motivates my learning curve.   ;D

I only really know the Lightfingers when he was very young and just getting started, and I liked him and his unquie personality. I've heard he's doing really well these days and I'm glad to see he's stuck in with being a thief and he is doing something he's good at and enjoys. Look forward to getting into trouble next to him in the future.

Lightfingers is the one that is always in trouble and hiding from whoever he has stolen goods from. Also is one who knows how to trade one valuable item with another. Usually in a good mood, and flirting with people, just to get close enough to grab some coins or a pouch...
