God, where to begin? Now for a few goodbyes. One of the things I had forgotten was how hard it is to give a character the axe once you have invested countless hours on. Kailen was no exception. Now for the very cliche but nonetheless true "interaction statement"... I had so many amazing interactions with so many people, I wish I remember them all and list them all here. But here are the most important people in Kailen's life: Selitha- We had so many fun times together. Well, they were fun to me, sometimes not so fun for Kailen. You kept me on my toes. I never knew what to expect from you. Thanks for making this character more enjoyable. I already miss talking to you. Phindar- I don't really know what to say to you abbin. When I asked you to be my best man, I hardly even knew you, but I had watched you and knew that you would be great friend. I underestimated how great a friend you would become. I am so glad that you were there to see me leave. I wanted you to be a part of that since every other major event in Kailen's life you were there for. I wish you all the best. Solian- Ah, the father-in-law. But even before that, you were always there to lend advice and lead me in the right direction. Thanks. Cartherlen- You pointed me down the path of the Kara Chal, and with or without Selric's blessing, that is exactly what Kailen was. I think I could've gotten Selric's blessing had I been a bit more steadfast. Sladin- Kailen's first friend, you led the blind child to the Haven and taught him much about good and evil, and reinforced his beliefs. I lost the Helm to a necro (damn them to hell... gotta play one) but I won't soon forget you. And honorable mentions go out to so many of you who played supporting roles in my little story of Kailen. Arvam, Shermie, Curly, Horstivo, Eoworef, Shell, Nicolette... man, too many Dawnies to list. All of you were great. All of you Troupers too. A great way to reintroduce myself to CF, falling in with the Dawn/Troupe crowd. Thank you all for a great experience. I'm still beating myself up trying to decide what to do next, but from what I've seen all over Thera, I'm sure it will just as enjoyable. See you all in the Fields. Loki, the Warped Jester
Kailen was my first real character in almost six years. I have made one or two here and there through the years, just to drop in and see what was new. None ever made it past fifth level. But he was my return ticket back into the Fields. He was naive, yes, and about half of that was an act, but there was so much about CF that has changed or that I had simply forgotten that some of it was very real. I have to say to the Imm Staff that you have done wonders. CF was amazing when I was active, but you have raised the bar far and above anything we ever saw in those days. Well done. Very well done.
