Long ago, shortly after the mansion was over run by Vladimir and his
undead subjects, a dedicated organization of Holy Warriors was formed.
There main purpose was to dispose of all undead and keep their rise at bay.
Their exact place of convening was only rumored to be in the hidden, lower
sanctums of the Standing Fortress just east of the mansion. Wielding sword
and faith, these young servants of the Light were blessed with abilities to
combat the undead creatures. Tattooed on their forehead and going down the
bridge of the nose was a cross, proudly showing all who they were. They
were feared by the vampire, and respected by the living.
As time passed, these Holy Warriors slowly faded into the past. None of
quite certain as to what truly happened to them. Rumors ranged from the
undead infiltrating the group and taking them apart one by one, to the lack
of finding recruits and unable to strengthen their numbers. Whatever the
case was, their existence seemed no more.
Rhoa was notorious for venturing through the mansion, testing her strength
against the vile creatures within. She would visit the nearby fortress,
paying her respects to the King. She was wondering the path between the
mansion and the fortress on a quiet, moonlit night when an elderly white
robed man crossed her path and called out her name, "Rhoa". It was indeed
startling at first, as she quickly braced herself in battle stance with
weapon drawn. The old man said, "My name is Osiah, it's time we had a
talk." She was a bit apprehensive at first, but began too quickly loosen up
as she realized the man was extremely old, and posed no threat at all. He
removed his hood and the moons light shines on his face. Rhoa then sees a
cross tatooed on his forehead. So that was the beginning of many meetings
between the two. Osiah lived within the fortress, an eternal guest of the
King. He couldn't help but notice Rhoa at first, as he watched her frequent
the area quite regularly, and eventually made a point to observe her. Rhoa
learned all about what the cross on his forehead meant. Osiah, to his
knowledge, was the last living Holy Warriors. Only in spirit and mind,
though, as they have not been an organized group in a decade shy of a
century. He remained at the standing fortress to live out his final years.
Osiah thought he would go to his grave and memory of the ancient
organization of vampire hunters die with him. But now he was convinced fate
would not have that be the case. The will of the Light brough Rhoa to
Osiah, or perhaps the other way around. For the first time in many, many
decades, he truly believed he found somebody to keep the name of Holy
Warriors alive.
The tattoo of a cross was bestowed upon Rhoa.
Description:
Light shimmers off the slightly curly, small of the back-length blonde
hair of this woman. Vibrant blue eyes glow gently, yet the look of
determination is at the forefront. A slight wrinkle on her brow and subtle
peer from her eyes shows a cognizance that is noteworthy, to some more than
others. She has soft white skin that is inviting to the touch, though one
would dare do so at the cost of repercussions. Her general frame is of an
average human stature, though it is obvious she is not quite average at all.
A slightly faded maroon coloured cross is tattoed on her forehead and
extends down the bridge of the nose.
You are allowed to kill people on your way to level 50... which is what those kills are, btw.

Wrecked my potential vampire, that is definitely a few of those less than level 50 dark Knight kills. Only proved Rhoa was dangerous before all that high level gear.
I obviously believe deeply that this character belongs in HoE. not that im voting im just saying and want to bring up the topic. aside from that i hated rhoa for obvious reasons but she also inspired me to play 2 paladins. the dwarf being most recent which followed her exact oath. she was putridly good like she just acted so good i hated her. Good show also. baby??? someone dicked down rhoa and nobody even knew??
Had a great time playing with you guys. Shout outs to Alkas, Lumubella, Trovo, Lord Ceridwel, Serra, Ilromie
and many more...sure I 'm forgetting a few names. Sorry!
Don't have time for cabal lead. I'll probably roll dick off char soon.
Has my HOE vote. I interacted with Rhoa across multiple characters. Extremely consistent, both RP and pk-wise. Great Knight leadership. Definitely led by example. I'm pretty sure I remember a log of Dogran taking down Rhoa. She got him back in another log. Too bad we never got to see a 'best of 3'.
While I think Rhoa was a great character overall (certainly a worthy opponent), I would have to say no to HoE due to the fact that she did not uphold the virtues very well at times. Totally ignoring the fact that the Crown was captured when the first priority for a pinnacled character is to retrieve it at once (and apologizing rather than making an attempt at retrieval) was pathetic. Yes, life sometimes gets in the way, but playing a caballed character is a commitment.
Also, she ignored the virtues when Praoli was fighting alongside others. Praoli was (and I believe still is) both anathema and on the roll list in Valour, which puts him above evils who have not taken the oath (who she would often target instead, sometimes completely ignoring Praoli).
On the other hand, she was definitely a formidable opponent. It was an honour to fight her, and I honestly think she had a lot of potential for HoE but her actions towards the end disqualify her from the pedestal.
Ah, your perception of a few minutes, compared to 500+ hours. I upheld the virtues at all times. If I am fighting 2v1, I take out the weakest link first. Simply put. Then try to take out the other. 2 shamans and 2 special guards. and you say I'm attacking the wrong person? An IMM was watching that whole fight... their sentiment to me was very nice and quite the opposite of yours. Not going to repeat what they said.
If I have no more time, I have no more time. Hence the delete...no time to have strings attached or obligations. I tried to force it last month, just didn't work...
Fun fights with you guys though. 2 shamans and guards is just a tough bugger to combat or take one down! Had a great time!

I hate typing on a phone but I hate not saying what I have to say more, haha.
This wasn't a one off. She did this repeated. Instead of going for the crown she kept fighting qhozreema in dyrksthyre. In fact all of the situations where you should have had knightly duties you shirked them and than apologized. Pretty sad if you get into hoe with a bottom feeder. But hey I guess that's just the way hoe has been the last three years. Well just let anyone in. Hardly even hoe anymore. Good character sure. Hardly a hoe. Except for maybe like my mum
Loved you Rhoa. Great example of Executor. Hyper aggressive and had all of the evils hiding in fear and you roleplayed it well. Don't feel the need to defend yourself, your actions speak for themselves. With your level of skill, gear(with augments, enchants, etc) after the paladin patch it was borderline unfair to fight you. That wasn't your fault though. I'd put a vote in for HoE(if I had one) for consistent roleplay while dominating pk to the fact that people avoided her while she led a cabal to dominance for a period of time.
As to Tarelia's point, I can understand that point of view but wholeheartedly disagree. I think a lot of the arguement you made stems from frustration but If there is an Anathema out there and someone assisting them, Rhoa has the discretion to fight that however she needs to(honorably) to succeed. The ultimate goal is of course to kill the Anathema but fighting those odds you do whatever you can to survive and succeed. I think the Anathema system needs some issues addressed with it, but i'll leave that for a forum dicussion.
Rhoa was fantastic. We don't vote for HOE here any longer, but Rhoa has my vote. Fighting Rhoa was a sure way to get the shakes going, one person, I was sure I had to be exact and not making mistakes because Rhoa was certainly going to capitalize such as in our last fight. It's a shame we never got our tie-breaker but you were the opponent I was always hoping to see. Fighting you was a real pleasure, and the roleplay interactions during and after our fights was always spot on. Loved it, hope you have more time soon, and good luck with the next!
What a great character! I only wish I was able to see you and interact with you more. You were a great Executor from what I saw and you invested a ton of time into Rhoa.
Kali had hoped that Rhoa would wade into the Kali-outcast conflict and help save his soul from the evil clutches of Davairus. That would have been some really fun RP but who knows if it would have had any real chance of succeeding? Nobody can fault you for deleting when you have no time to play though! Better to go out with a bang than to linger on and fade away.
Sad to see Rhoa go but I can't wait for your next!
Very solid character in general across all fronts and particularly as Executor. I felt even with the low number of Knights around for most of the time while she was Exec there was still a strong Knight presence felt throughout Serin just based on Rhoa's existence. A stronger adept of the Sun in recent memory does not come to mind. As Wayne and Garth would say, three thumbs up.

BTW, Rhoa's name has been etched into the war memorial of Valour for all eternity.
We might not see a score card like this again, since there has been changes to imbue, enchantable equipment and what not. so I'll post my latest.... My paragon skill and jungle flower for flesh armor was a nice buff...as seen below.

I literally don't remember the last time a player and character was so terrifying to me that I didn't want to log in. Congrats, you were truly unstoppable.
Fantastic character! I'm glad you got Executor after I had Trovo hand the reins over to you.Unfortunately, because I'm still in Fort Benning and haven't been home since June, I didn't get a chance to see the aftermath of the promotion. I enjoyed the rp and it was always great fighting alongside you when we did. Cheers, and congrats on HoE!
