What Spills from My Lips....

I got some really awesome letters to add to my good death xp app from Delilah's death.  The POV of other players has said it so much better than I could have said it for myself, and it's given me perspective on myself and my roleplay, and a really nice warm fuzzy feeling.  I want to thank all of those I roleplayed with in the past year and a half as Delilah, because I have learned a lot from the experience, from the good ties and the antagonistic ties. 

:)  LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM FELLOW PLAYERS AND SUPERVISING ST'S:

    Hi there.  This letter is to encourage some good death overcap XP for Angela Richter and Brian LeMaster's new characters.  Both of these characters were integral to the last year of RP in Auburn, Alabama, and helped to create drama, story and plot for our local game.

    One of the things I loved best about both of them was the way they were faithful to their characters, refusing to meta-game or do things their characters would not do just for the sake of saving themselves or getting away with things they shouldn't.  It is /so/ rare to see people play characters who are either more foolish than they are in RL or less intelligent than they are.  Both of these characters were different in personality and "stats" than their players, and yet the players, on multiple occasions, acted completely within the confines of their characters.  As well, despite knowing things OOCly, both players refused to let their characters act on OOC information.  In particular, Brian, knowing OOCly that people were going to try to kill his character, did not shy from acting as the arrogant Prince that Akela was.  And Angela, knowing OOCly that her connection to Akela would get her killed refused ICly to allow anyone to break the blood bond.  I was incredibly impressed by the play of all involved.  As well, they took their character deaths in stride, smiling and remaining friendly even though it was a sad moment.  I never see anyone take character death so well, and I cannot praise them enough or recommend highly enough that they receive more than the usual allotted good death XP.

I am writing in support of Good Death XP for Angela Richter and Brian LeMaster regarding the deaths of their characters Delilah della Cava and Akela Macayle, respectively.

Their characters impacted my character's Requiem greatly, as well as many others. Even after the characters' deaths, this is still true. They left a noticable impact on the chronicle itself - especially regarding the Circle of the Crone. Their characters have been the subject of many discussions over the global lists ranging from Requiem, Crones (IC) and Gangrel-NWoD.

Brian and Angela have always played their characters to the hilt and always did an excellent job in being inclusive to others in their play. Akela and Delilah were also good examples, in my opinion at least, of the covenant Roles that their characters played -- Hero and Scarlet Woman.

Interacting with these two has inspired me, as a newer member to the organization, into more "global play" than I might have attempted, had my character not been impacted by theirs. I feel that I have had a richer RP experience for the interaction, and for that I am very grateful -- and have made some new awesome friends!

Thank you for your time,

Dellilah and akela, as characters, picked up where Reseph, my
character's sire left off when he was unexpectedly killed. As a new
player my ties to the global chronicle were tenuous at best and both
players did their best to ensure that no one was excluded from the
AWESOME.

As one of the players of a character that was directly witness to the
chain of events which led to both character's demise I can state that
both Angela and Brian made the ride excellent and fun the entire way
even up to the inevitable flaming crash.

Both players have always done their best to ensure that while there
was plenty of IC disruption and crazyness, there was little to no OOC
disruption. I will greatly miss being able to interact with the
characters and players on a regular basis.

While my characters had only minimal interaction with Akela and Delilah, those two were often in the background or somehow tangentially involved in everything mine did. From exploration into the mysteries of the Pact of Ages, to the night-to-night business of the Circle, they were present in many ways.

Delilah herself has often been the talk of many local Kindred, even here in Arizona. She was well-known, even if not always by name. Her actions, and that of her House, often had an impact on gameplay in a far-reaching manner. Because of her, the Gorgon bloodline actually became fairly well-known. Her interaction with various factions on the national level also became the talk of harpies everywhere. Her past associations with certain groups became fodder for gossips of every stripe.

Akela, while not quite as well-known as Delilah, was more important in terms of his covenant and the roleplay there. Akela's temper, as notably short as it was, led to a number of covenant-wide discussions that affected Acolytes at every level, including those most Admired and Respected by the Circle at large.

Both characters were larger-than-life and had a great impact on the game, and continue to do so after their deaths. It's a shame they're both gone, but I believe their stories ended appropriately, and both players have handled the matter well.

Akela and Delilah death has made a big change in the chronicle since
there death. There death showed my PC that the people he works for are
not what they seem. Their death will singlehandedly take down one of
the largest houses in the Invictus. Turning my Pc into a walking time
bomb for it. Along with a number of other PC in my own house.

Hey Guys, Just got back from ICC and really missed you guys.

So here is my 2 bits for the death XP.

Akela And Delilah were rather interesting in that they decided to play their characters through to the end the way your suppose to roleplay instead of being self serving. They knew ooc when their last night was going to be and they went through with it anyway because that is how the characters would act. Yes, they had a chance to escpae to Ann Arbor, they had a chance to flee. But no, Akela Stood up like he was going to and Died.

Therefore I endorse the good RP Death XP

Thanks!

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this in support for Brian LeMaster and Angela Richter in reference to Good Death XP for thier former PC's, Delilah della Cava and Akela Macayle.

One needs to only look at the Crone IC list to see how much their death has affected the Chronicle. Were their PC's not as remarkable or Global as they were, their deaths would have barely registered over the radars. Instead, their death has impacted everywhere. Veyr heated debate has occurred (and still does occur) dealing with the causes of their death, the effects of their death, and there is uncertainity overall.

On a personal level, their PC's had affected mine on a grand scale. Their two PC's had pitted themselves over many a Domain and Praxis holder, not to mention an entire Daeva line, for my now-deceased PC, Mac Bellamont. Their roleplay helped me vastly to decide to continue playing the PC when I was contemplating retirement of said PC. And they served as mentors, both IC and OOC, for portrayal of a proper Acolyte to a player that had little to no knowledge of the Covenant.

Please consider their application for Good Death on the National Level, for their Death has affected PC's on the National (if not Global) level.

Respectfully submitted,

To whom it may concern,

Delilah had made a great impact onto my character, Dorian La Cross. As one of his more active relatives, she (and by extension, Akela) kept in quite a bit of contact with him, and meant quite a bit to him. It's because of Delilah, that my character continued to reach out for his relatives, because if they were half as interesting as she was, they'd be worth the effort to reach out to.

Both characters (Delilah and Akela) had a tremendous impact on the global Crone list, as almost every action they performed was scrutinized, analyzed and reviewed/judged. Both definetely made a difference in the chronicle (at least in regards to the Crone), and in my character's requiem.
