Scorpiox Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I never actually got to play my own game, so I'm going to go ahead and do that, because I think it's a good exercise: Quest #28 - Boomingham learned so much. First quest with Barty. Great party. Cheap power is not real power. He will not allow for it. He is the defender of the weaker, and he will push them to become stronger (a belief echoed in Pseudos of 40). He punishes vampires. He is forceful and plunges into things. He is Boomingham. He will take personal credit for what teamwork achieved. Fixed. Quote
Zepher Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I actually have to reread that quest from time to time to remind myself he did not kill Bluehood (it was Docken, I've read it so much I know who landed the killing blow). In Boomingham's head, he himself literally delivered that final cut. Quote

In Boomingham's head, he himself literally delivered that final cut. Boomingham can take credit for it, and if anyone argues otherwise, all he has to do is point out that Docken doesn't contribute anything offensively. Quote
Palathadric Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 He punishes vampires. Second chances are not offered to those who warp minds (or really to many people in general). Boomingham and Pretzel would get along splendidly. Quote
Flare Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Actually that'd be better... Hoke AbleSword the KrakenWhacker Sgt Jon McEncy Sarge is not your average aging pirate. In fact, with that pegleg of his I bet you that he is quicker than most! Sarge is a heavy-hitting character with very powerful attacks in comparison to the rest of his level-range. Putting behind Sarge's powerful statistics, we find an extremely humorous character. He is not stupid, but he has that sense of humor that always hangs around whether he is drunk or sober. Sarge always shines out because despite his roughness he has a good head on him, and a good heart as well. Sarge does have a tendency for stiff drinks, however, which can causes minor annoyances for other heroes. But overall it is in all's understanding that Sarge is a fellow to be trusted. --- Alright! I am eager to hear what others think about Benji EDIT: Wow I realize that I wrote a pretty short description of Sarge Oh well, I don't have anything else Edited September 19, 2013 by Flare Quote

In Boomingham's head, he himself literally delivered that final cut. Or, you know, he could accept that it was a team effort and whomever delivered the last hit is pretty much irrelevant. The way Boomingham sometimes talks, one would be forgiven for mistake that quest for his personal adventure. Quote
Kintobor Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) This place needs a boost. More character discussion! What is your characters biggest failure, and why? How does your character feel about said failure? Experience in Heroica is preferable over backstory. Edited November 13, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
CMP Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Jeez, that's a tough one. Atramor generally just ignores his failures. Doesn't understand why everyone dwells on them and go on and on and on and on and on about them. But he's had a lot of failures. His biggest was probably leaving Triad to die. There's no two ways about it; it was completely his fault. Wasn't because of the dice, the circumstances, or the plot. Cruel irony of it is that the Witch's Shield roll was later changed, during that Quest. If the change had occurred before that fight, I would've risked staying. Quote
Kintobor Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Remind me what the Shield was before the change? Quote
CMP Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Remind me what the Shield was before the change? Hex one enemy. You have no idea how good you have it. Quote
Scorpiox Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 This place needs a boost. More character discussion! What is your characters biggest failure, and why? How does your character feel about said failure? Experience in Heroica is preferable over backstory. Haldor certainly has plenty to choose from, as I'm sure everyone would agree. Either making the gnome girl Ameli pregnant and then leaving like an absolute bastard is a contender... or maybe the time that he accidentally killed the paladin right under the Order's nose and then let somebody else take the rap (to be fair, he wouldn't have let Jorke be blamed if he hadn't attacked the party for literally NO reason), take your pick. For the first one, Haldor has always felt guilty for what he did, but after Ameli's father's refusal to admit his responsibility, there isn't an awful lot that he can do. I would take a guess that this makes him feel a lot worse, but Haldor tries his best to not dwell on past failures that he has no hope of rectifying. This also goes for the second event, as owning-up to the crime now would only lead to his own punishment and the tarnishing of Heroica's relationship with the order. Are there any others that I have missed? Perhaps the moment when he also healed both Cronk and Alexis to death whilst trying to help them, that was a pretty large and embarrassing failure. Quote
JimBee Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Besides not finding other imps on Olegaia as of yet, probably failing Quest 50. He has an outstanding (x3) rep with the Ji Pei now, but that was an important part of proving himself. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 What is your characters biggest failure, and why? How does your character feel about said failure? Advocating for Haroka and Sorona to get another chance, resulting into the death of at least two thirds of Miranda's population. Guts blames himself. Although he would never admit it. To himself, or someone else. Quote
Flare Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Benji's biggest failure is failing two quests in a row. He is used to success and he is failure in these missions caused him to be angry with himself, bringing about a darker side of him... Assassin, then Beast Warrior. He is just now starting to recover from this internal scarring. Quote

Duvors Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Being expelled from the Bonaparte forces. Experience in Heroica is preferable over backstory. Ahem . Quote
Kintobor Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Ahem . I said preferable, not necessary. Quote
Scorpiox Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Ahem . Preferable being the operative word. Quote

Pyrovisionary Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Sarge hasn't failed in Heroica. Well, I can't remembering him failing anyway. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Two, for Thothwick. Letting Bluto get taken, then letting him get away. I hope he'll get the chance to be there when Baba falls. Kintobor, you started us off, aren't you going to weigh in? Quote
Flipz Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Arthur views most of his actions as failures of one degree or another. Even when he brags about his accomplishments to his foes, it's only a tactic of intimidation--in his view, he ought to have failed every Quest he's ever been on, save perhaps Quest 17. That said, his biggest failure was failing to save his compatriots in the final battle of Quest 53. Quote
Zepher Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Letting Masson live. He hates it. He wants to rectify it more than anything. He has other things he wants to do. Baba could be a great villain for him. But I hope he gets to kill Masson. Quote
Endgame Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Letting Masson live. He hates it. He wants to rectify it more than anything. He has other things he wants to do. Baba could be a great villain for him. But I hope he gets to kill Masson. Please, please, comg along for my finale quest! Quote
The Legonater Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Dyric hasn't done a whole lot that he'd regret, except for perhaps his attitude to his quest mates near the beginning of Quest 19. His largest regret at the moment is definitely making an enemy of a fellow Hero, though. That said, I can't to see his experience as a leader progress, as he develops more chains of commanding. Quote
