Arnold Howardson arrived to Ymph beside his sister, Mary Howardson. The son of a soldier-turned farmer, he admired the many stories his father told of knights and kings in battle, the code of chivalry and presumed in his youth to become a Knight much like the storied legends of his father told. Having turned 18, he came to Ymph beside Mary to tell his story, a farmboy who dreamed of becoming a knight.
I really did try and become a Knight- but I made Arnold with several inherit flaws. Amongst them was a tendency to go "All in", and regret not holding back, eager to give his word and startled to find that this habit could otherwise land him in unseemly situations, he became bitter until he met the fae-
And became a bit to merry. This eventually cost him everything he worked so hard to gain, everything he strove to achieve. His dream to become a knight shattered the moment madness gripped his mind.
Regardless...

Finally he's gone. ♥
"..you're a REAL Paladin, Sir?!" from such humble beginnings, Arnold's tale was something special. I'm sad that he never reached his goal of becoming a Knight, but it was nice to watch him lose his mind all the same.
Well done, Thomas.
Alas, Arnold. For all his faults, Lucita liked him. :\
Great fun as either friend or enemy!
<3
Frienemy of Echr,
Lost soul to Arnoud,
Lolarmsman to Keliah,
Solid pc, two thumbs up.
From armsman to feyhand, an awesome guy to be around. Mayoral candidate or madman, Arnold was an exceedingly entertaining character and you sir are a good friend.
I salute you.
I'm gonna miss Arnold he was fun to see Rotten fruit thrown at the Agony
Lol, you were killed by 'Idiotsmasher'. Fitting!
I enjoyed almost all of our interactions. Good times man.
".. killed by Idiotsmasher", what now?
Really enjoyed most of our interactions. The love and hatred between us. You were a fickle mistress, sir.
I never really knew who he was ^^
Every character I played during his time hated him SO MUCH. Good work, I say! =)
he would have wanted it this way
What a bumbling boob!
And Arnold will never know how Mary really felt about him.
o7
bumgle...
It was great watching Arnold take one step forward then two steps back so often. Poor guy.
It was great to see him bumble all about whenever I could. Sorry for the mess in the Bullbreaker tournament!
Marion probably regrets not being able to take her revenge for everything. That would have been epic :D
A shame I saw so little of him.
Fantastic character, it was fun watching his story unfold even from afar. And great to see how someone could try so hard to be heroic to Mistlocke, and ended up being so totally reviled by nature PCs.
A character who I knew hated mine, despite cooperating on (very rare) occasion.
Turning into a fey freak who eventually loses his mind is just desserts for picking on poor Apocryphan, also very amusing.
Nicely done.
