Title: Aracknar Blackgem
Post by: KreShar on September 24, 2014, 06:43:24 AM
Aracknar's greedy ways finally got the best of him. Started him off as a simple concept, a Dwarf Sell-axe. Just through interacting with others he evolved into so much more: From Narvis' Bodyguard, Hundred Hound, Tavern owner and cook, to Bandit Lord. Aracknar just followed where the coin was and did what he was paid to do (A good way to interact with everyone on the server).

At first he tried to keep his more "evil, shady" contracts secret. He did a good job at keeping out of trouble with the Upper authorities and playing both sides. Finally, Abala decided to place a 500 coin bounty on him. Pushing Aracknar deeper over the edge into complete blind greed.

Surprised he lived for so long. I tried to play my 8 wisdom by constantly putting him in dangerous situations. Taking a bunch of stupid risks made him very rich and he collected a lot of loot. Near the end of my PC, I wanted to be a visible villain that other PCs could strive to take down. I really wanted Upper to fear leaving the gates, and always have to worry about the Bandit King be near. All the conflict led to some fun situations.

In the end, greed pays off. He left the sunless, apocalyptic world and was accepted into Abbathor's embrace and rewarded with endless treasures and a domain of his own.

Heres a picture of Me, Griff, and Ebok after we looted Quildae's tomb, barely made it out alive. Its amazing how many hidden things there are on the server. The loot was pretty cool too. Griff is the master of finding things with shovels.

Heres a picture of some random scheming at the House of Hooch. This particular meeting turned into an all out brawl, good times.

A+. That fight scene with Ebeneezer is still one of my favorites. You guys were so calm and cool and collected until coin came up and it was ON  xD

Tons of fun. Good luck on next one.

I feel the exact same way. You leave big shoes to fill for all dwarven PCs and GREEDY PCs!

Best dwarf! My favorite Lower PC!

I wanted to write the epic of Aracknar. Alas...was not meant to be =(

Cool, this should make a good news story. A really great character, with a strong personality.

Enjoyed the few interactions I had with Aracknar, though sadly spent much of that time in open conflict with him. Certainly a strong character who united much of Upper against him.

Kept everyone on their toes, I enjoyed our encounter on Hojo where you took the opportunity to re-claim your gold from Belerama while everyone was having it out, Greedy opportunistic bastard! :-)

The world of efu seems a smaller, less bright place for his passing. I'll truly miss our rivalry.

I was convinced that Aracknar was a cat and would always land on his feet.  The shit he got away with was just epic, and always entertaining.  His characterization was unique, original, and colorful.  Rest well on your bed of gold you greedy bastard.

The escalation was crazy, and I'm glad I got to be there to see at least some of it.

Look forward to the trouble you get into next.

I always loved how relentlessly, shamelessly scummy he was. The undisputed Propaganda master.

I love your style and I am your fan since Kali-Ma.

A shame I only met Blackgem's kobold alterego on the end, it was superb.

One heck of s run man!  Someone commented in  IRC that if they cut off Blackgem's head,  coins would fall out of his neck.  So fitting.  Great PC

Post by: CondorHero on September 24, 2014, 04:12:00 PM
I always enjoyed Aracknar, especially back in the Tempered.  He was that delinquent that every family have but just not sure how to deal with. I'm sure he kept Gerhardus and Jormund praying to the All-Gods late into the night :)

Was awesome sitting in the abandoned bar, drinking poisons, catching fish and cooking things up, and of course trying to blow things up.
 
 I was hoping he would evade judgement once again and be around to boast.
