Rhiannon
You'll notice she looks alot like the original Nemesis, black hair and pale
blue eyes, truth is, Nemy really looked like Rhi, because this was my very
first RP character. As in, before that it was hack and slash all the way.
I played her on a friends mud called Light of Day. It was RP oriented and
is what got me into RP in the first place. This is to give an idea of where
I started, if anyone cares, or just for those who knew me back then and
couldn't believe I had abondoned Rhi to the sands of time as it were :)
The World : Imagine a small mix between lensmoor, and a hack and slash mud,
is wasn't the best built mud on earth, but it was fun. It was the dark ages,
and it gave you that feel, the room descriptions were dark, dreary and dirty
for the most part, no bright, cheery clean streets like you get on lensmoor.
There were lots of races, and remort races. About five different types of
elves, like drow, woodelves, highelves, moonelves and so on. Different types
of tree people, big ones like ents, more evolved ones like treanti, and tiny
flower ones that I don't recall the name too. Animorph people, you could
decide on creation what you were morphed with. Dwarves and giants, all kinds
of stuff. Each race had seperate types, so there was alot of selection.
There were clans and mostly unofficial religions. There were three major
powers though. The Order of Ket(Ket was the Sun God), a cast of warriors,
paladins, clerics, healers, goldies in general. Fire of Night, no one really
knew where they stood(neutral/chaotic). And the unnamed clan of Vampires.
The Vampires were a race you couldn't pick upon creation and couldn't remort
into. Only other vamps could make you a vamp. Because of this, it was a
somewaht small clan. The number of alcolytes that wanted to be vamps and
did what ever the vampires said made up for it though. To make a vampire
you had to subdue the use a special command.
Rhiannon Ket'Marin
Rhiannon, called Rhi(pronounced Ree) by her friends, was born the daughter of
the holy paladin and leader of the Order of Ket, Talona Marin, and the god
Ket himself. She was raised the beloved mortal child of Ket and was almost
worshipped by those of the order and followers of Ket. When she was 19,
the leader of the Vampires, Dark Lord Raven SoulCast, killed her mother in
battle. This left the order leaderless and seeking revenge. It wasn't
long before Rhiannon assumed command and started the Great War. One night
while celebrating a peticularly good day of battle, Rhiannon met a hansome
man in a tavern. He claimed to be a bard from far away and sang for the
warriors at the bar. Rhiannon found herself attracted to this man, not
knowing it was Raven in disguise. For the next month or so(real time),
this bard helped her get through her mothers death with his humor and
talents. Sufice to say, she was completely taken with the young man and
even concidered marriage to him. The during what Rhiannon hoped would be
the last battle against the vampires, she ran into her beloved bard on the
battle field. She was shocked and convinced him to leave the battle before
he was killed, he agreed, only if she went with him. She didn't want to
leave her army at such a time, but nor did she want him to die, so she went.
Her took her to a castle where he said he was staying, to entertain the Lord
and Lady. While there they got a little closer, lets just say it's censored,
and he revieled his true identity to her. She became enraged that she would
love the man, no, the moster that had killed her mother. She attacked him,
but was not nearly skilled as he was in battle, and soon lost. Instead of
kill her like he did her mother, he turned her into a vampire like himself.
Rhiannon kept her change secret aslong as she could, but it wasn't long
before thanks to Raven, everyone knew. She became an outcast. Being the
daughter of Ket, the order didn't throw her out, but made it clear she
should leave, and she did. There was no way she could go to the Vampires
however, as she didn't belong there either. In the end, she burned herself
in the light of the sun, sacrificing herself to her father.
