Character Quotes

#1 Post by Arwenth » Fri Aug 14, 2009 5:36 pm

What's a quote that you figure describes your character or a quote/phrase from another player that you enjoy?

I personally like Matusalem's thoughts on cake. As for Arwenth's quote...I can't think of one...so someone will have to give me a suggestion maybe
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

Im not sure I know what you are asking for, a quote? or just an interesting roleplayed quirk.

A quote but a really noticeable quirk would be just as interesting.
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

One I used a few times ages past...

Well I think we can all agree "Be well" is pretty signature of Luminier.

Pretty much any of the Crusader vows can be a quote, however my personal favourite Crusader quote is "Evil starts with corruption. Corruption starts with neutrality. Neutrality starts with indifference." which isn't a vow obviously.

One I have always wanted to use is "No rest. No mercy. No matter what."

For Caelia, it's probably "Order is the highest principle, for all things, even the gods, are subject to it." I make clerics these days jump through various and sundry philosophical hoops before I accept them, so this one usually comes up. :wink:

Maybe those of you who spend time with Caelia can help me out here. She projects a generally serious exterior, and only lets you see a glimpse of her soul when she gets to know you. :) She's very philosophical (or at least I try), so most of the statements I'm most fond of are part of some lengthy discussion, and separated from the context of that discussion, they're not very quotable. :?


As for others... I usually log conversations because I'll need to remember them, and there are more than a few I wish I had saved because they did a good job of revealing some facet of a character.

I did find this one, though:

Arwenth asks in Common: Do they talk before or after they see the shining axe of doom?
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: Shining axe of doom helps.


There was some entertaining dialog with Adanath on my abortive attempt to craft a boar meat potion for him, but only this one made it to the logs:

You say in Common: Adanath, I did take a few stabs at a boar meat potion for you. It was really a rather spectacular failure.

Are you sure you haven't used that one already?

Possibly, if I did I can't remember and I hope it was badass.

If you said it when I think you did which I think was in Ironhold right before Arwenth became a Crusader it was badass...

Mogwai deeply bellows in Common: for a living zssome cut lumber, zssome
fish for food, oserzss make craftzss, mogwai break singzss...

And then there's...

Damanta shouts in Common: We don't hump boars!

I hear that's the ranger motto. :)

After writing a note

Matusalem[male halfling] grumbles hoarsely in Common: I's gonna go
check ya punctuation.
Matusalem[male halfling] nods firmly.
Matusalem[male halfling] strolls out east, vanishing between the trees.
You peer intently.

Edited for more

Luminier[male human]: Have you perfected any
combat abilities yet?

You: No, it will be a while before that
happens.

Luminier[male human]: You eat cake and flirt
too much Damanta.

You hide a wet green male frog in the darkness.
Moaglesh[male dwarf] grumbles in Common: Don't hide him!
You ask in Common: Why not?
Moaglesh[male dwarf] grumbles in Common: Him must be watchin' for
Caelia here.
You're able to catch the frog!
Moaglesh[male dwarf] grumbles in Common: Him be makin' noise if she
comes.
You drop a wet green male frog.
Moaglesh[male dwarf] pats the wet green male frog on the head.
Moaglesh[male dwarf] grumbles in Common: Good watchfrog.


Edit, Also yes, shameless bump for my own amusement!

Hmmm. Sounds like a true guess to me. I'd say Damanta flirts with everything with legs, but that'd be wrong cause he doesn't hit on Arwenth. Instead he flirts with anything that isn't a female crusader >.>

Hey, Luminier... isn't that the flavor text on Akroma's Memorial? (I'm a Magic player myself :P )
I only wish I had a quote. But alack, I'm no good at such things. Eh...
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. And Sathonites. And crazed tshahark. And giants. And ice trolls. And ogres... (continues babbling)

Yes and not only on Akroma's Memorial it's on Akroma, Angel of Wrath too. Magic is a great game.

It wasn't a guess. Anyone with eyes can see that Damanta is just a rotund, cake-eating, lazy, flirt bag, and Luminier only has one. *eye-patch smiley*
