Rough Start
Far south of Serin is a territory named Rahku. It was populated by very large fire giants. They ruled with strength and fear, enslaving any that crossed their path. Even their own in some cases. Long before Kryton was born, his mother was a slave there. She was a fire giant, born to the lands of Rahku. But, that didn't mean anything to the King that ruled these lands. When the populace of slaves starts running thin, he would at random gather the peasants of his own kind to replenish those numbers. While she was enslaved, she gave birth to Kryton. The kings men immediately put her back to work, and she died shortly after. Kryton was put in the slavery nursery with the other young ones, where they would be taken care of, and groomed into the next batch of slaves. As Kryton got older and learned of how he got to where he was now, he grew angry. It festered inside of him. His mother a slave, gave birth to him, and put back to work with no time to recuperate, and dying shortly after... This fueled him in a passionate way, so much as he devised a plan with a few other slaves. An escape place. Under the cover of dark, the five giants overpowered the handful of guardsman watching their section, and armed themselves with their wares. They swiftly mad way to the edge of the encampment where they were confronted by a much larger force of soldiers. Sword clashing, shields smashing... They fought with vigor. Alas, they broke through. Only Kryton and one other wounded giant made it. They lumbered toward the tree line and escaped into the forest. They got as far away as the energy they had left allowed them. They stopped to rest for the night. As Kryton wakes, he sees his lone companion had passed in his sleep. Kryton was alone now. He headed north as quickly as he could, finding his way into a land called Serin. As he passed through the Ford, he got directions from some of the the inhabitants. His path was now aimed for Seringale. After a short bit of getting accustomed to this new territory, he found something that gave him purpose. The warrior guildhall. There, he could harness the anger that festered inside, and focus it into the art of combat. As time passes, he was now a formidable guildhall member, even making a name for himself. But was this it? Was this all there was to his life now? There had to be more... More for him to conquer, more power. More...


Description:

A very large giant is here. His presence is known in many regards, one being the shadow he casts that covers more ground that most creatures you've seen, and can easily shade you from the sun if so desired. A unique feature is his skin. It is multi in colour, burnt orange areas that blends and melds into charcoal grey patches. Where these colours conjoin and mesh into together, they form a different hue, completing the the complexion trifecta on this giant. This feature is most dominant and noticeable since it covers his face as well. It's hard not to stare. Due to the mesmerizing pigmentation, it is easy to over look the fact he is completely void of hair. Not one follicle is seen. At this point, it's more of a side note that he looks of great, intense strength. Every muscle in sight is extraordinarily large with veins pulsating, stretching the flesh to the brink of ripping open, trying to contain the power within.

        Awesome run man. I felt like you were about to delete. Managed to fight you on Hauhnor, we had some good fights. Hopefully you come back with another, I always enjoyed our interactions. I haven't been around in a while, but maybe I'll see ya on the other side of the river sometime

          I hated then loved this character, now I am sad to see you go.

          You 1 round killed my illithid as a you were reaching your last title. No chance to react.

          Made an enchanter dulling out icicles just to f with you.

          Enjoyed fighting you with a stone giant Berserker who Con death too soon (in review the torment polearm did best), but it was good learning.

          Got to understand why a lack of rp with stealth kills is needed in this game (I just thought you guys were being d bags). This is a result of other players logging off/ avoiding fights, real reasons or not, way too much off logging culture.

          Rare items stopped being hoarded (except by low level ass hats, you know who you are).

          You deserve the elite status I am sure you already got, not just for the ability to kill, your rp as this guy was great too.

          Many interactions but a mixed bag that made me feel your character was vital.

            Man, I don't even know where to start with this. My post might come off as rambly, but that's because of the huge impact you had. You were a beast, when I recruited you I was certain that you were going to turn me down, but you didn't. Then as you worked your way up to Forsaken, It didn't matter if I was in the cabal with you or on an opposing team, you were always the fight that I anticipated the most. I found your roleplay to be stellar, and that was even when I played the enemy. The record speaks for itself, 94% with over 100 kills. That's fantastic.

            You brought some good ideas to legion, and the rp you started about no boots in my altar was fantastic. I really enjoyed all of my interactions whether I was watching you fight someone, having hard conversations, fighting you myself, or just rping. Thanks for what you brought to my cabal, and the fun you brought to me across the board.

            With all that said, I know it has been two years, and I wish you all the luck with your next!

              This guy defined an era of evil for two years. His RP was always spot on, his PK was top-notch (as is evident by his insane body count), and yet he somehow managed to balance humility despite being an evil overlord. He rarely took items from his foes that he wasn't willing to give or sell back. He was never toxic in victory, and I am one of the few that can say that the same goes for the incredibly rare moments when he was defeated.

              The kind of fear he triggered from a player was, in my opinion, the right kind of fear that you need from an antagonistic player in this game. He set a high bar for all competitive characters to shoot for. He was unbiased in his targets - strong or weak, you always knew you could be a target. But importantly, he killed for the sake of killing, and aside from the bit of RP fascination with kneeling he had afterwards, he never rubbed his victory in your face. He was that sort of quintessential hyper strong big bad that classic RP fantasy genres have, and I will certainly miss that.

              Rest well, Forsaken of Legion. May your afterlife be filled with the endless bloodshed that you filled your living days with.

              1. One day it came
                Out of the blue
                It simply was
                The Spire

                With craggled pits
                And blackened stone
                It beckoned
                Climb the Spire

                And so they came
                And so they fell
                They fell off of
                The Spire

                Look down! We warned
                The young and new
                Or be called by
                The Spire

                We learned to live
                In its shadow
                Cowering beneath
                The Spire

                Demons came
                And built their nest
                'pon the side of
                The Spire

                One day it's gone
                The sky is blue
                Look up and see
                No Spire

                And yet we walk
                Our eyes downcast
                In minds, it looms
                The Spire
                1. Always wished I had more time to overlap and interact with you more! Thanks for not killing me much!

              2. Absolutely gutted that I didn’t get a chance to fight you.

                  Kryton was a beast. I enjoyed our interactions and you played legion very well. Instilled fear and did not act like a dick when you got the kill. Well played, definitely HOE.

                    Kryton was the epitome of what it meant to be an evil overlord. He was feared by many, respected by many, and as an ally or enemy I had no negative interactions with him and he never broke character. I knew when I would log in and he was on, I was going to die at some point, and I was OK with that because he was such a good character. RIP Hand.

                        This is likely going to be a brick of a post.... here we go...

                        Thanks to Dogran for recruiting me. I had no intention of going cabal with this guy, and planned on turning down the Legion offer. Glad I changed my mind. This was one of the most rewarding characters I've ever played. Not just from pk, sure it's one of my best ratio/body counts, but from an RP perspective. Which leads me to....

                        A huge shout out to Dav (Ceridwel and Dogran, cause I think they had a hand in this too) for the updates to Legion and Knights. The demonform thing was a beautiful idea that was implemented very well imo. So many options for how you want to RP your demon. I loved toggling demonform and going back to Kryton talk. "Is Foggle is Donk" was one of my personal favorites. Then you have the Knights with their counter to it via holy weapons. It made a lot of sense gameplay wise. You have these holy warriors, wielding blessed weapons of wrath, hunting down a cult of people that want to dominate the lands and making a pact with a demon.

                        Kikikale and Zyron. You guys were awesome. "The Big 3" as I like to call it, is likely the most dominating cabal in God knows how long. So much talent at once, all in the same cabal. Pure dominance. It was truly sad our paths didn't cross near ways as much as I wanted. You both are great RPers too. It's the simple stuff that make an impression sometimes. I remember in the Faction of Magic we were fleeing from the dragon, and Kikikale says something like "roll the boulder in front of the cave". Simple right? But most everybody else would have said hey close the door. It was these subtle touches along with self-created thread of Xik'va, that made me love this char.
                        Zyron always sends his scroll with that bloody fist print, as seen in a recent scroll he sent to all. Well, he forgot to put that signature on one of his scroll, so he just had to send another note reinforcing an imposter didn't send the last scrolls and it was truly him. At this time, only Legion knew of his signature. If I was part of some RL cabal, and one of my high ranking members ALWAYS signed his letters, but then one day I got one without it...I would certainly be paranoid and think somebody else might have sent it.
                        In-game, that may have been something small, but to me it was a nice touch. It was part of Zyron's character, he was sticking to his guns, and created a way to RP something out of practically nothing.

                        Shout outs to...

                        Zyron and Kiki - of course, as stated above.

                        Savanti - for being resilient and determined. I've played several rangers, but never utilized retreat/part shot. Because of you, that will change if I roll another.

                        Aerysen - Fully decked Jotun pally was by far the toughest fight(post pierce vuln removal). But you were the toughest Jotun of them all, late Executor.

                        Afales - For continuing to deathmatch me despite prior results. You had me within a maim in our 2nd to last fight.
                        You played that battle really well.

                        Ashlyn - Because of your love of monks and willingness to fight me with them all. I've never played a monk. But I learned how flawlessly fight them in large part to you and our high quantity of fights.

                        Citeros - For having the most comfortable sofa in the shaman guildhall. lol thanks for taking my goading in stride. It never phased you once.

                        Fawnaria - I knew that'd be the last time I'd see you, so thought I had to a blade on you.
                        You said you lost your EQ by using the catapult, but I figure you had at least something to fight with. I should have held off...that kind of went against my characters style and regret it. I didn't pursue once you fled the area if that counts for anything.


                        That's just off the top of my head...I'm sure I'm missing some names.


                        You impale yourself on 'Un-Rkizk', Trident of Massacre and die horribly.
                        Your lifeless body drops to the ground.

                        This was probably my best set. I sacrificed a little hit/dam to bump up my magic AC. With a shield and consumables, I'd get magic AC up to 172. I really wish I took this approach earlier on instead of sticking BIS hit/dam gear. Having double the Magic AC would have been a huge help in all fights, especially paladins, since I had 2 vulns to deal with. Ice and holy.

                        Side note - On your scorecard where it shows rating, you can actually get to "Heroic". But, with monthly rating decay, Heroic would revert to superb. It would be cool to see the Heroic rating stay, but rating decay would probably have to be removed to do that.
                        1. A shoutout! I was so pissed with myself for attempting the fucking cannonball and got my eq scattered. I had an extremely awesome set up and was so looking forward to the fight. I was so sad we could not fight after i got back 99% of my set up. Zyron will have to do. Great work xenyar.

                          P.S whoever designed the cannonball should go see a mental doctor.

                          Good showing, Xenyar. I had a feeling this was you, as you’re one of a couple of people that can beat me without breaking a sweat. Awesome run!

                          Xenyar.... I love you and I hate you. I would over our characters' interactions we have had tens of hours of fights. On this character alone I think I fought him on four different characters. Best I could do is make you run on my ranger when you got peppered with ice arrows after not resancing. You generally don't make mistakes like that, ever. You don't give an inch. I can always tell when im playing against you because of the intensity of the fight and the amount of effort it takes to escape and survive. More than anything I think adding tracking just made death to you an inevitability. You use it with a high degree of proficiency and it would literally take thirty minutes of constant movement to make you give up. Other than the one time no one had the gumption to do the necessary and get a lynch mob to take you down. I enjoy the challenge even though its very frustrating. I think we've been on the same side once and ive opposed you every other time. With Kryton it was a bit tougher because of how stacked legion was and that ridiculous regeneration. Wearing you down was impossible and outdamaging you was impossible. Fighting a warrior with a monk is inherently unfair. Monks superior defenses work amazingly against NPC's but against a PC they suddenly turn to hot garbage. against anyone with 40+ hitroll while at the same time not being able to hit the broad side of anyone with 300 ac. Having to maintain advantage against someone while only having a limited amount of resource against who can do it with no lag even when blinded is impossible, especially when you're putting out so much damage you only really get five to six good rounds before the bashing begins. I've always had a lot of respect for you moreso because of our interactions and how you hold yourself in character despite your superiority. It feels like im playing the game on hard mode while you're on easy mode. Another Legend, my friend. Here's to you.

                          Paladins - Dwiggans, Miremas, and Aerysen
                          Warrior - Eodo
                          Rangers - Vok and Savanti
                          Druid - Known and reported bug by the druid, prior to our fight, used the spell against me, caused me to be perma-blind. Not mentioning their name, but it wasn't Kiki.
                        7. Xenyar... I'm sure you already know this, but you don't get better by clobbering weaker opponents over and over. Which is why I continued to fight you despite past results - I could tell I was getting better, and you almost always said I had improved with each successive defeat.

                          I guess I'll just have to put Kryton as a permanent stain on my record now. He actually killed me one more time than is on my official record, but I'm fine with that. When you face serious professionals as a casual or at best semi-professional sports player, winning becomes less important than figuring out what they're doing better than you when you lose (which is likely to happen more than half the time anyway). There's a kid at a local golf course who thinks he's such a hot shot since he tends to do well overall in terms of the number of swings to complete the game on that course. The thing is, when he went elsewhere one time he did terrible. He's also less competent at match play, where the goal is to score less swings on individual holes.

                          Oh snap the official "who he lost to" report. Thanks for posting it! Always curious on the badasses and you rarely get to know if they aren't warlords.

                        All I gotta say is that I wish Kryton was around during Szrevan times or I wouldn't deleted, woulda had much better Godzilla vs Kong movie than any Hollywood adaptation.

                        Most formidable badass from what i've seen on logs.

                          and I knew it was Xenyar all along even w/o playing, just from a couple of logs, because nobody else really has the skill and wits to pull this off. Whatever Xenyar plays always ends up 10/10 char. Much respect.

                        Man, I didn't even realize that was trash talk with Citeros, I thought that was like, awkward socializing attempts, which I thought was kind of quaint.

                              I really wish we fought more. My equipment selection and strategy against invoker changed since we fought so long ago. Double Obliterates from ice storm before I'd get an attack in was brutal. Storms were broken af, and glad they're fixed.

                              Hope you're still around rolling toons.
