Cedia

City of Heroes

Server: Virtue

Guild: Travellers

Characters:

Brightblade, Magic Tanker — I made Brightblade when the Dual Blades powerset was added to the game.

Nightwail, Mutant Defender — Nightwail was one of my villains whose backstory I really loved. Unfortunately I never really liked the villains side, but with the powerpools being crossed over, I decided to reroll her as a hero. So far the least boring and most helpful of all my characters.

Sun Scarab, Mutant Blaster — City of Heroes is another game that we still play on and off. Sun Scarab was my original character. She was a fire/fire Tanker, and the Tanker was just horrible, so I rerolled her as a Blaster. Since then I have made another Tanker, so I don't play Scarab all that often anymore.

Dark Age of Camelot

Characters:

Asliantha Leiraina, Elf Champion — My last character in DAoC. Basically, Hubby and I decided to come back, and we both figured Nimue Hibernia was the best place to roleplay. I met some good friends there, and hooked up with some old ones.

Cedia Eowyde, Elf Ranger — My first DAoC character. This was the character I played in the guild beta with the Shadow Rangers from UO Catskills. They eventually went back to UO after release, and I drifted through many other DAoC characters after that. Most of my stories are at www.poesies.com/shtuff

Iae Russetleaf, Elf Ranger — Back to Percival. More hell. I became friends with the man who would become the Mythic dev Mackey. And then he started stalking me as well. When I wouldn't give in to his plans, he blacklisted me on the server. Yay. I went to Midgard after that.

Sierieda Sablehair, Norse Bard — My first trip to Midgard. I hooked up with a great guild from recommendatons from the VN board, and things were pretty good. However, I missed being an elf too much.

Silmandra "Lost Star", Elf Eldritch — After the stalking and deletion of my character on Percival, I tried Nimue. I joined a very nice guild called Penumbra, but it folded shortly after due to (more) asshole players. Silmandra was very tiresome to play, because she was schizophrenic. She was based on the movie "A Beautiful Life".

Talith Moonshadow, Elf Nightshade — My first character on Percival, also the one I played the longest. Too bad I had to kill her off (ie. delete her) because I was being stalked by another player.

Vaia Greyspire, Elf Champion — And here's where the story does a turnaround. I played Vaia for quite awhile, after having vowed that I would never join a guild with her. Made some friends. Ended up marrying one of them. We were pretty tired of DAoC at that point, so we tried Shadowbane.

Everquest 2

Server: Antonia Bayle

Characters:

Tielis Lra, Dark Elf Monk — The only character that I really love in EQ2. I really love EQ2 as well, but there is no PvP (other than gankfest servers), so Hubby doesn't like it. If they added something like a WoW battleground, I could see us playing this game fulltime.

Lord of the Rings Online

Server: Landroval

Characters:

Ghisele Springmountain, Race of Man Lore-master — Giving this game another shot due to the Age of Conan debacle. My research shows me that the best partner for a Hunter is a Lore-master. I'm enjoying the class this time around, surprisingly enough.

Liarie Bladebright, Elf Guardian — I really love this game. Unfortunately, the game HATES duos. Hubby and I have lifetime subscriptions, but they only get used every few months, when we log in to try to complete a group quest that cons GREY, get our asses kicked, and log off in disgust.

Realm Online

"This is where it all started for me back in 1995. I joined the Lady of the Rose guild and made a website for them, which they turned out not liking very much -- it was too artsy."

Guild: Lady of the Rose

Characters:

Liila Whitewillow, —

Shadowbane

Characters:

Cyn Howling Mist, Aelfborn Ranger — The character I played during my courtship with my husband. Some pretty racy stories going on then... I took Cyn to Star Wars Galaxies, but the only thing I remember about that game is my husband's character proposing on the top of some tower somewhere.

Gracye Silverhoof, Centaur Crusader — Hubby and I really wanted to play this game, but server issues kind of put a stop to that. By the time we came back months later, the Mourning server (and Gracye) were gone.

Ultima Online

Server: Catskills

Guild: Knights of Yew

Characters:

Lucetta DiMaio, — Catskills server, 1996 until beta for Dark Age of Camelot. Knights of Yew guild, the best guild I have ever been in. And it was a complete accident that I ever met them. Thank God for you, Zed, wherever you are! KoY saw me through a messy divorce and even messier experience since I was living in Brooklyn on 9/11. Character development forced me to join the Paladins of Trinsic, but unfortunately their draconian policies and "Lord of the Flies" behavior pushed me out of UO for good.
