Posted by [unacceptable motivation] Miuwaro, Elemental Master on November 28, 2000 at 13:16:39:

This was pretty much my first mage character. I rolled him up because I had always played ragers and blades and basically only warrior classes. I had the idea to make this char a 100% pure scholar and the REAL reason why I wrote a role that made my char not WANT to use wands or potions etc was because I really didnt know where any of them were. But I figured it was a unique char hook and I knew I could pull it off. I had a great time in the Tower for the most part. Probably would have had Miu propose to Missila, but first I had to go away for a while, then she dissapeared. I loved having "magic Theory" talks with Valg and Missila and some others...I also liked Valg because I thought I was the only one who didnt like the "Bloodthirsty Master" until speaking with him.

This char was going along great, I was so entirely motivated to rp this char to age death, to work hard to study rune magic etc. Then I hit a snag. During that whole Silent tower fiasco. Almost all of the masters higher rank than me could have given a shit about it, but my char's rp would not let him ignore it, but the Only imm interaction I got out of the quest was "Go away, you arent a hero". After that, my desire to play started to slip pretty hard. I started getting lazy, I had quite a few role additions already composed just waiting to be put in at the appropriate time in Miu's life, but I started to question the purpose of it all, and was to lazy to cut and paste them.

Then this Library thing came along and I thought this might be a chance to get back on the "scholar" track. But once again Family crap came up in the real world and I realized that even if I WANTED to keep it up and actually conduct expiriments and write scolarly papers in char...I couldnt because of rl. I had quite a nice thing written up on Orcs and Trollocs, but realized one little thing like that would not be able to revitalize my interest in the char enough to put aside things like Job and Family and Social life.

I admit, I came to the decision to delete about a week and a half ago, the last time I logged on, but have been waiting for the pk ratio thingy to be fixed. Oh well. I grew impatient to move on. I'd post some farewells to specific people and all on the graveyard, but I connect through a free isp, so I don't think I can register.

I had some good times. I goofed around WAY to much, and every single one of my deaths were because of my goofing around or just taking stupid chances. If I come up with a role I want to play, I will role up another char. Until then, Good studies to you, CF.

Well now...oh yes...a journal.
Keeping a written record of my experiences, raison d'etre, and studies,
seemed to me a capital idea, so I shall take some time when I remember,
record what seems important to me at the time.

Now then...and introduction to me? No...well...hmm....
If not for posterity, then as a referance for future scholars...Gods know
What I would not have given to have been able to put a face behind so many
of the ancient texts I have read...

I was born a young man...hmm...yes...well...what I mean is While I was young
beleive it or not, I was trained as a blacksmith...such a crude and sweaty
trade, I could not stand the soot, so searching out a place to exercise my
mind, I found an older mage, and asked to be taught. A most disagreeable
old, dusty, angry, wrinkled codger he did turn out to be. But for all of
my distaste of his methods, he was quite intelligent and knowledgeable, so
I forced myself to do what he said was necessary for me to do.
The most vivid of days I remember, was the first....When I had refused to
even touch one of those "barbarian" instruments.....

Needless to say...when he was finished I was quite willing to do whatever
[Hit Return to continue]

he said..and was even willing to agree to his rational of "learn it, little
bastard, you dont know when you will not be able to cast, and those
barbarian skills may save your life".
Under such logic (and switching) Who was I to argue. From that day, I have
agreed to put at least one practice into all the skills of the Barbarians...
Weapons, haggling, the use of items of questionable worth...etc. But I
will NOT practice them furthor. Yes I may use them one day..but I find
their use MOST distastfull...almost to the point of making me feel sooty
again like I did infront of the Forge.

Yes, this does include those...things...those wands...scrolls...staves.
Why would I study long, hard, days, weeks, years even, just to take a
shortcut? Why would I work so hard to gain the Knowledge, skill, and power
to gain the Ecstacy of molding and controling the Very force of Magic
as I will....and then drink a potion like any fool barbarian can do?
Such things cheapen me, they cheapen my work, and they cheapen the very
guild I am a member of.

Oh...there are natural things out there that give some effects that might seem
close to magic...and some may point to my sometimes use of those...I will
explain why I do.
[Hit Return to continue]

1) They are of Nature, and if Magic is to flourish in this world, Nature
must be understood in its entirety, so that it can be circumvented.

2) Eating a mushroom, or a lump of seaweed is not the same as my relying on
another mages expertise like using a scroll or potion is.

That is as much as I will explain myself, any more would sound apologetic,
and Lords no I am not that.

As of this scribing, I am an applicant to the Tower of study of Magic.
I am far along the application process, I will write again when I have
acheived the position of Master of the study of Magic....as writing this
is just keeping me from study...yes..well...hmm...yes.
