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

        Hail to the Forsaken

          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.

                  Just solo fight your way to the top of Mt Doom, it will feel like fighting Kryton.

                    Bladefury and Ozaru taught me everything I know, and even then I was terrified of Kryton.

                    Only account I've ever had is this one. Misinterpretted perhaps; no bad blood here.

                  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.
