Title: A bit about Markin Buckbane
Post by: el groso on August 19, 2012, 11:42:27 PM
Well, Buckbane has finally met his end, and to a formidable foe. I would be so sad if he died to no other than one of the family Aberdenn.

I have much to thank a lot of people who he interacted with, DMs Mort, Shadow Charlatan, Talir, Jayde Moon, Nuke...

it was a blast playing this crazy crow.

Here's a bit about him

This character was created on Saturday, March 31st, 2012 at 11:00:47 PM.
Since creation, this character has logged on and off 368 times.
The character has spent 24 days, 15 hours, 16 minutes, and 41 seconds online.



Markin Buckbane was a cheap Chondathan mercenary in Shadowdale. He only got small contracts, and always tried to pass as more professional than he was. Upon being teleported to Ymph, he saw a chance to actually build a good reputation. So, he sought employment in the most prominent house of the hamlet he settled, Mistlocke. Now as Mercenary Lieutenant for Caermyn, he intended to rise even more in the eyes of Menaster, and lead Caermyn Men-at-Arms as their captain, and take the Clan to glory through "Fight and Fortune", as well as earn his given name "Buckbane" as an extention of his title, "The Buckbane", as in the bane of the Aberdenn clan. All Markin cared was about coin and glory, and he battled for it, sometimes by the side of the law, sometimes not. So his motto was "Fight and Fortune". After many accomplishments, he finally met his end in a duel to death against the son of Gadyw Aberdenn, a fitting end.

I have a lot of other screen shots somewhere. Of the loot as well, but I am not sure if one is allowed to post custom loot screenshots.

Cheers, EFU!

Hah, well, I'll just go on pretending that my PC doesn't yet know he's dead.

Sucks that he's gone, but he was good while he lasted. Definitely the best boss I ever quit working for.

I know people do it, but I've heard someone was banned recently for doing it, so I'll make sure.

Markin was marvelous. Half the time Ekaterin loved him, half the time he made her want to tear her hair out in clumps.

This individual was banned for a variety of additional reasons of which posting loot was the smallest and most negligible part.

In other words, its fine. :)

Great character. Good to see the Associations with a strong powerhouse rivalry! Markin did a LOT for Caermyn, and made them really scary! Artemis is go8ing to miss correcting him about her race, lol. (She isn't an elf!)

Can't seem to find the screenies of his armor, and the description of the flail. The armor however is not custom, standard issue for Caermyn Lieutenants, so, if you ever have a Caermyn Lieutenant you'll see it. But I got the flail stats, so, I guess this will be all for shots of the loot. I also found some other shots, some of Caermyn's infamous trip to Old Port, and a few others.

The flail swinging, purple colored hooligan with a hunger for stew cooked in Aberdenn helmets. A gentleman of fine tastes.

He even traveled with a Shaundakulian Priest to Old Port, how about that.

I loved this character, and el groso was so awesome and dedicated. I'm sorry it had to end this way.

Showin' the Conglomerate what's what and being bad ass when they weren't online.

Just Markin being the crushing behemoth as always, this time around taking one about thirty Mist Ogres along with Jerod and pals. You can't see thirty of them, but that was the number in the encounter, okay!?

A finally, one last homenage to a parting asshole friend. May he rest in peace.

A well developed character with a fitting conclusion, I think.

It was good to see him about the hamlet getting people involved, and I enjoyed joining his bounty hunts and various adventures.

I could tell his loyalty to Menaster was unwavering, and his occasional quip as he worked towards maintaining a thoroughly professional miens was always amusing:

[INDENT][After intimidating a hunter who supported the druids and setting him on his way.]

Markin: "I am getting good at diplomacy, ain't I Lord Balthasar? "[/INDENT]

XD

Good show, I say!

Great character! Markin was the first character Dehewint (and also me!) met on Mistlocke, and he owe much to him, even his life. (which he saved on numerous occasions)

Congratulations for creating and playing a character that became part of so many characters' lives!

Badass. And his conflict with the Aberdenn was great :)
