Dhua created on 18th of May 2010, and is dead and gone (46 years old, 588 hours)
Title: the Iron Lady, Commander of Justice Gender: Female Level: 50 Class: drowshaman
Background history:
Description:
A dark-robed priest bows her head low to perform an unholy ritual. Her
silky black hair has been pulled back between the crevices of her
sharp-tipped ears, keeping the long, soft strands from falling in her face.
Dark blue eyes peer from behind her deep hood, flickering with an eerie
light that adds a strange beauty to her cruel, tormented stature. As you
study her body further, you notice her skin is pale and sickly, covered with
some lacerations and sores that strip her cursed physique of any form of
desire. The frame of this dark-elf is very frail, lacking any true physical
strength other than that which is used for her graceful walk. A hint of red
is left within her faint lips, taking more so to the color of charcoal with
each passing day. Her overall image is that of eternal Justice.
I am dumbfounded. Not that it was you (because I knew it was), but that you deleted. We interacted on a number of my characters, the latest being one that we really didn't get along in rp. Don't out me, if you put the dots together.
In my opinion, you've shown yourself to be an incredibly skilled and well-rounded player, one of the few veterans who consistently raise to the top of the pile PK-wise and RP-wise. I had planned on trying for a Justice, one of the main reasons being to be in the same cabal as you as leader. Also because I figured if Olexa can be a Justice, I probably could too :)
Trogm...Dhua....who will your next noteworthy character be? I can't wait to see. Props, man.
Well done Pip. Finally one of your chars I enjoyed...But not to get back to personal relationship. You did a fantastic job with this char hate to see you go.
But in seriousness, Dhua was a hell of a constant presence and I was surprised to say the least to see her in the graveyard. I was wondering why Fheona and Olexa got reinducted. I was hoping to stick it out a little longer on Tipplwise to fight you more and I was hoping Zitthirax would be able to take you out on a mistake outside of town.
I think you should just give up trying to convince people you quit and just roll/play an uncaballed badass.
It`s kind of weird and eerie not seeing Dhua`s name on the top of the 'Top 5 Rated Killers' board on the forums. Her name has remained at that top spot since Davarius introduced that board.
I'll miss Dhua. She was a staple through all my characters since I started playing AR. I still remember vividly in my first character I was by Shudde and Dhua suddenly appeared and I freaked out and with shaking hands managed to quaff a recall potion. She was very kind and explained she wasn't going to kill me and I grew to trust her. From that point, I thought all evil Justices don't kill....wrong assumption.
I had so much respect for Dhua. She was so strong and smart and patient and stuck to her convictions of the law and fairness. She made time to be an educator and was moderate in handing out punishments that she was duty-bound to give. My regret was I held her in such high esteem that I made myself nervous to be around her. I wish I had been a bit less scared and taken more time to learn from her.
When I saw the deletion, I figured Dhua killed herself because she was getting close to condead and was finding it harder to fight and wanted to go out in style and dignity intact. But, she only had a total of only 28 deaths!!! I die that much before I hit rank 15. The Iron Lady - was a perfect title. And 85% efficiency. WOW!!
I never would have guessed Dhua to be picpen/pip. I only know the name Pip from reading the forums, but I had the impression Pip would be more like the even eviler twin of Ygin.
Thanks Pip for sticking with Dhua over the years. It made a huge positive initial and ongoing impression on me of Abandoned Realms.
Wow Tiqa, that is the nicest thing any fellow mud player has ever said to me..ha. Thanks for your words. I've grown old in my career and the same ol' dominate and kill character wasn't getting any enjoyment out of me. This was one of the reasons I was so pissed about how lame and annoying the Knights were and they refused to remove the Anathema even though I got it from defending my cabal against Jerol. I thought it was stupid that I received anathema status for doing my Justice duties, but eventually really just grew tired of Knights invading to multi-kill my newbie members because of me. The reason I created Dhua was to be a lazy Justice and sent my Immortality note when I first hit 50 but never heard anything back after 2 years. Take it from me, people deserve to be treated better than the way I have been here and I can finally see that now.
P.S - Olexa deserves to be in Justice more than any other person that plays this game currently. She got uninducted because Caidolese was bitching up a storm over justice attacking in town on accident against someone who was invading prior. After that she didn't delete which was a huge shocker, but it also showed me that she had something special and deserved a second chance. So full props Olexa.

Dam good run man. You inspired people to take a drow shaman and try to make them successful, which means that you kicked ass. Drow shamans are dam hard to rank kill with because they have no health but you made them look easy. I always enjoyed our interactions, good luck with the next character.
Its funny how everyone knows your chars because there are so few people who dominate and actually stick with their char for such a long time. It is a shame to apply for an imm twice and not get it after so much devotion to the game especially with the lack of imm presence from the recent imms. With dhua you showed how well people can do with a drow that have patience but at the same time you exposed problems with vulns against mages. My fight against you didn't give me the satisfaction like yeah I killed on of pips chars simply because of the race/class combos.
28 deaths after 500 hours is a feat in itself, thanks for helping other people out their stick with their chars and inspire them as you have already read. At least we know for sure pip wasn't Ygin, the search continues for the gorilla who punched bobby bouche.

oh well. I don't really cruise the forums that much, since it's filled with crap 99% of the time ha. anyhow, maybe next time..
I guess you already know you did well RP-wise and PK-wise, so I don't really need to go into that. I guess that leaves me with nothing to say... <.<
Good job, Pip. You've always got characters that dominate, but this one seemed to have more to it than your past ones. I'd have to say it's your best so far, imho. Is there any combo you can't do?! :P
Hm... maybe drow warrior... The vuln changes would probably make that one pretty tough. Have lots of healing potions and move fast, I guess. Eh, you'd probably do well there, too. -shrugs-

motion for Dhua to be moved to the Halls of the Exalted.[/quote:8dc535f447]
I'm kinda holding out for her to get Imm'd after all. But if not, I second this motion.

Tiqa makes me want to play morts again just in hope I make a char memorable enough to her and get a grand send-off ...lol Tiqa is one of my "happy" people.
[quote:5eb6b09cd5="Ergorion"]I think Tiqa should post a guide for the playerbase entitled: "how to live life without being a major tool" What's your secret Tiqa?[/quote:5eb6b09cd5]
She's Canadian. Ah wait, that can't be it...Resatimm is Canadian too and look how he turned out.

This is what happens when you don't have a strong keepers cabal.

No way, Trogm scenario part 2?!
[reply to Ceridwel]
Well kinda hard for that to happen seeing as how the only keeper aint active and the imm is not that active either.
Fheona and Olexa don't need to be in justice there was a reason why they got kicked before but lets hope they dont fuck up.
[reply to Smotpoker]
I want to say you should have applied for Imm as long as you had this char, but I don't want to be an a-hole if I forgot the fact that you did.
Good run.
