Imagine the life of a child in the Timaran streets. No mother, no
father, only a persistent hunger. Of course Yngfre stole, you would steal,
and so she did. At first it was free food, and then it turned into awkward
chats with the day guards. And finally, when pinned in the alley, it turned
into her against him.
Ten years later, as a youth offender, she was released. And on her first
day, another, privileged no more than she, said, "I will show you how to
live," and extended a frail hand to her. Yngfre followed the man, he looked
old and homeless, just like a beggar, but there was something about him.
She had noticed the tattoo of something obscure on the back of his hand.
They soon reached the South Side Kitchen, where warm soup accompanied them
on a table. The old geezer gestured for Yngfre to examine the room, the
environment, the people, and how they interact with one another. He began
to philosophize as Yngfre listened and took in her first true lesson. From
this moment forward, she was to join the Thieves guild and ascend to her
pinnacle. Only there could she truly make a difference in the world.
Birth of a Street Rat
Yngfre joined the guild of thieves and rose through their ranks, but fell
back into life of a homeless peasant. She used what she would gain from the
rogues to live a modest life, but not one that was short of heartache. Her
big heart always got in her way, and as time passed she grieved her loved
one's absence. Was it true love? How could such a thing cause so much
emptiness inside?
Not knowing if Kaa was alive or dead, she had missed him dearly. She began
resorting to alcoholism to drown her sorrows, she no longer cared if she
lived or died. This clouded her judgement, the decisions she began to make
were out of desperate measures. To have friends, but betraying them, trying
to find a replacement for Kaa. She grew careless, after all she had always
been abandoned. These times were no different, the liquor seaped deep
within her veins however.. There was one thing she never forgot about.
Practice makes perfect they say. Yngfre turned back to the guild to hone
her craft from the shadows. She never had anything, and everything she
loved was taken away from her. A dangerous envy combined with the sorrowful
fountain of alcohol she consumes has now led her to a life of preying on
unsuspecting victims. She wants what they want, and she wants them to feel
the pain of loss she has carried undoubtedly on her shoulders.
Alcohol and Kleptomania
Life has been a difficult charade for this Grand Mistress of Larceny.
She continued to excel at learning the way of rogues, many of these
abilities were second nature to her. Yngfre cannot control any flow from
the bottle, much less whose pockets her hands dip into. This caused issues
in the past between herself and highly skilled fighters like those from the
Keepers, and those of the Warlords. It has never helped that the girl
showed a fearlessness until backed into a corner. However, credit to her
daily routine of thievery and guile, Yngfre caught glimpse of something
absolutely priceless.
It wasn't anything particularly physical, but those who wielded this had
power with their silver tongues. She grew envious, as always, wanting more
and more. The girl shadowed the Heralds examining them before shyly
approaching one of their kind. A deal was met, and to finally have shelter
and a family, she would work. Literacy was never her strongest suit but
with practice and lessons from Mistresses and Masters, she felt undeniably
comfortable chasing this path. And to seal the deal, there was free
firebreather for her to consume.
As old ways should have it, her pockets are still not full enough. But the
girl has grown a mind as sharp as knives, and she chases the gift of gab.
Chasing Shadows
Yngfre's short tenure of Heralding was nothing short of wild and chaotic.
As old habits resurfaced, the halls she looked to for shelter kicked her
out. Her thieving ways and embrace for chaos surrounded her like a
villainous shroud, and the reputation was too much for certain Heralds to
harbor. As it were, Yngfre accepted this fate and continued on her path of
fanaticism under the beliefs and principles of Zafrin. She came across
something familiar on her way, a dagger. This was no ordinary weapon, it
was a unique weapon, a powerful artifact not meant for the weak-spirited.
This became her focus, perhaps with it she could finally defend herself
against any who opposed her, it was power. From the shadows she would
tenderly caress her Ruby, the red glint filling her eyes as she would stare
in bewilderment. Over time, Yngfre began to talk to the dagger. She felt
empty when the dagger was not in her hand, she felt alone, like she always
has, but not anymore. The girl had become as skilled as ever, influenced by
the entity within the weapon, and ever confident to be dedicated to the
winds of chaos. She can be found spreading chaos throughout the lands, but
it is uncertain just what it actually is she is after.
Curse of the Red-Handed
A thieving hand can only take so much before it is caught. In Yngfre's
case, her hand grasped something that had truly changed her. The sick
obsession with Ruby had led her straight to the minions of Darkhan, where
she unknowingly delivered the dagger to it's rightful owner. She was
reduced to a bloody mess, and found herself before His altar, bound by her
own doubts and hopelessness that let Him in. As vile cackling filled the
shrine, freezing tentacles held her in place and restricted her breathing to
the point of feinting.
The dagger had ultimately destroyed her. Her faith, her confidence, and her
love for life itself. With nothing left, Yngfre found herself at the mercy
of the Dark Lord. She would never be the same.
And so it was that the once innocent and pure girl who was wrongfully
accused and sentenced to life in a cell, had become a lady who spoke in
manic sentences about her lost love, Ruby. Throughout her entire life she
chased wanderlust upon the winds of chaos, but the seed of doubt was forever
in her heart. Ten years within a prison cell, and a childhood to grow with
it, left the woman calloused and cold. The Darkness had always awaited her,
for it was a matter of time before she slipped and fell off of the ledge of
sanity.
Time was no longer on her side, no amount of guile, thieving or lies would
heal her of her mortal injuries. This marked the first time in Yngfre's
life where she did not have a plan or route of escape.
Description (commended):
From out behind the petite human frame, a pair of grey feathery wings
arch high into the air around her. These stormy appendages have a
wingspan that is capable of engulfing her like a tower shield. Their
bottom rows have feathers that have started to turn white from late
moulting, occasionally shedding to drift off into the wind.
This winged human has ashen grey hair that falls beneath her
shoulders unkempt and weathered. The long strands frame a youthful
face that is etched with a stoic look. She looks to be athletically
toned with no blemishes on her pale skin, except for a tiny pewter
ring in her right nostril. Her eyes are a deep, rich brown that are
windows into the calmness of her very soul.
Was this a delete or a con death? You must have been close to con death so it would seem a bit strange to delete if thats what happened. Props for the longevity.
Goddangit.. if I payed attention and realized I got a new title I would not have deleted. But this was mine, I only play 1 character at a time, and my play time has dwindled.
I enjoyed Yngfre's story, at least what I was trying to tell. Ever since I created Arunore I have been trying to bring back Assassins with rogues. This one took an interesting turn of course. A shame I didn't notice the new title, I was getting bored and that realization would have kickstarted some motivation. But alas, all good.
I was at an intersection, to roleplay evil turned by the ruby hilted, or rejoin the order of chaos, but the character was stagnating a bit and that was mostly due to my lack of time committment. So instead of fading away into obscurity, I just decided to put this one to rest. I wanted to con death this one too. I should have stuck to my guns on that.
All in all, I enjoyed this one. I have made huge changes on dealing with interactions based off of this game, and the goal is to just have fun. Everyone should have fun.
With that being said, I want a caballed again.. I'd like something fresh. I recently switched to mushclient from gmud and I hate it, but at least I can start posting logs haha. I fought with 2 warriors last night, seperately, but Rithgjar caught me sleeping with a couple of good rounds, I underestimated his tracking abilities. Had removed the ruby and poison was injuring me, so when I got to 7 hp, that poison stunned and killed me before I could reach the temple for a healy heal rofl
Arunore, you were amazing. I got to see your character from many different sides. From the side of the enemy, and from the side of the ally. Of course that was subject to changed due to your insanity, but I had fun playing a knight trying to roleplay you keeping your sanity. You even went with it a little, even though it was clear your goal was to lose it based on the dagger. The way you played when you had the dagger vs not was fantastic. I enjoyed every interaction, both the ones that found you on the end of my blade, and the ones that found me on the end of yours. However, pretty sure I killed you more than you killed me haha. Fantastic job, I look forward to seeing what you do next.
I really regret that a lot of the best times for this character happened while I was on a break from the game. Im sorry to have left you in the lurch. Would have loved to see the condeath, i was looking forward to see how you would blaze out, but I know the feeling of being done with a character and sympathize with the decision to delete.
I have said it before but I'll say it again here: this gy shows a gold standard for background entries. It is a perfect implementation of the vision i had when we added multi page backgrounds.
Thanks for the fun times, as always your next character is eagerly anticipated.
HoE I think. I fought you on conundo and my giant keeper mordex you were awesome at rping all the time you didn't rage and death full loots you didn't even get mad I remember one time you said "seems I forgot how to fight" you had longevity and brought spice to the game. Kudos and I hope you do go Caballed then again I guess it depends on what you cabal to.
When I came back in Feb/March, I felt your RP was brutal. You were a true neutral playing chaotic evil. Then bugging me for Assassin which earned you a mob slay (and very close to permanent harm to your thief). Your RP was much better later on, but I feel that doesn't make up for being booted from a cabal and completely mis-playing your alignment.
You are a top notch PKer, know the limits and strengths of the class and were not afraid to engage anyone, anywhere, regardless of the odds. No one ever figured out how to fight you and you capitalized repeatedly on it. Pwning Legions left and right. Was quite entertaining to see, especially the abduct where you tore Rith yet again.

Haha, right? It was Heralds, and I was wrongfully booted then offered the same position and rank back which I declined.
The character had a roleplay scenario with Godrak, an Alhoon, and Darkhan, where I was allegedly suppose to prove my worth. The problem is crickets happened and I never saw the Undead again. This left the character outcasted but I was more or less bummed about the lack of followup with the deity and undead. Then I found you on, ran my mouth a bit when you showed disinterest, and that was that.
The character was being roleplayed out for an evil turn via the ruby hilted, but.. this is why I switched to mushclient, so I can post logs. There is a lot of stuff that happens interaction wise to the character that most people or some Immortals don't even know about. And it is no ones fault, it is just the criteria gets windswept (pun) to the side, leaving the efforts up to assumption because there is nothing to show for it.
I only fought you once and it was a very short encounter lol. But I did admire the RP. I can say that more for this character than any other I've ever come across, I never had any idea what she was going to do. Embodiment of unpredictable and chaotic.
I enjoy the backgrounds and creativity. Otherwise you were a pest!! First interaction with you was when you stole my Xel Morak from Eurayel. Idiot me for sleeping in town while thieves were very rampant. Granted, I did not know you were logged on at the time.
Good luck with the next good sir, and glad to see you're still around rolling toons!
Aww... I was looking forward to the condeath. I put the title last night after watching your ruby death haha (felt as though that would have been a fitting condeath for Yngfre, to be honest!). Quite enjoyed the RP. Well done.
I enjoyed your character for sure. More on in the early stages however since I found myself feeling bad for you in the later stages. Mostly because people would start pulling you into a different character arc and just never following up so you were stuck in a weird limbo.
You were always my favorite non deputy, deputy. Thanks for all the apprehensions.
Great character. Glad you’re no longer revolutin against the law.

I investigated and I think I see what is going on here. The game uses a status affect to track who you recently killed, for multikilling penalty purposes. Its in effect for approx 30 minutes of REAL time, so that if you attacked again within that quick of a time period, it would call that PK a foul. However if you logout, it loses track of why you have the status effect. If you then ALSO log back in, and PK before the affect wears off, then the game can't tell who you just multikilled, and just assumes every PK is multikilling. It penalizes you no matter who you killed. Also, just to make it perfectly clear, that it has probably been that way since before Olyn even immed. There's no anti-pk'ing or anti-evil intent behind it at all. Its just shitty coding.
Your warrior deaths isn't right for sure....i killed you on 3 different warriors

If you die to the same person multiple times, it is only counted as one death and vice versa for kills.
Davairus

The PK stats was changed to start counting at level 25+ (instead of 36+) and stacking penalties have been removed, penalty for killing Heralds has been removed. That means it counts more pk's, not less pks. Its completely false to say it ignores loads of kills. It doesn't do that. The only thing I can see ignored that I disagree with is 5+ level difference kills are ignored. I also confirmed the multikilling edge case is happening. If kills are missing that seems confusing, its way more likely to be because of that.
The above stats being off was just an incomplete written sql query which I have corrected. You will see a bunch of characters jump up in both kills and deaths because of this fix.
your skill with thieves is pretty damn good. I really wish you didn't go the route you did because I was looking forward to rping with you as an advocate for keepers. To be honest when we fought I was fully expecting you to let me kill you I was going to take the dagger and stop you from turning "evil" But when you stole my bracelets I was just hurt LOL. I was staring at my screen like how could he do that to me LOL after all I did to defend you. I really regret deleting and not taking the rp with you to another level, it could have made the game more interesting. You make great thieves and I hate you for it.
A twisted soul is what I always saw Yngfre. The only fear that you ever had was that which was in yourself and you always rocked it that way. Loved this char and would seriously consider HoE just because of your tenure you have in the game and the text that everyone you logged on everyone was like “fuuuuck, it’s Yngfre”
