Valucre Presents
~Your Finalists for Best Role-Player of 2013~
Aleskei
What do you feel are your major role-playing achievements
for 2013?
Being involved in so many role-plays with a plethora of new
people. You would usually find me in my own little group of familiars that I
role-play with, so expanding my horizons has taught me there are pretty amazing
wonders out there and all I had to do was dip my toes in! Just this alone has
made it possible for me to play 'new' characters and get out of my comfort
zone.
What was your favorite RP (Participated or as a viewer)?
Tempting the Raven. I like to believe that
my writing has improved a bit over the years and this thread makes me
happy on the insides - all proud and the like. I have never role-played
with Tryoomph before, Tempting the Raven only being our second thread together,
I was really pleased by how our writing flowed so well together. He made it
possible for me to write better and enjoy the story we are telling without
discussing too much of the background between the characters. We pretty much
went on a whim!
Any role-play goals for 2014?
Get Renovatio on the face of the forum. Since I have been
made a Moderator for Reno, I want to try my hardest to get some attention to
the area so everyone can enjoy the hard work Dre had - and still does! - put
into his creation. Also become the best that I can be, hahahahaaaaa

Wide Eyed Idealist! I laughed when I saw this
and laughed more when I read the explanation. I can be pretty impractical and
have absolutely no problems with my choices, even if they have caused me issues
in the past. I can get excited for the smallest things and even though things
are difficult, with hard work and determination we can reach whatever goal we
want. How I live life and how I write are very similar. Doesn't matter how hard
something is, my character can easily kill a person even though they're the
strongest, well seasoned person on the planet. I don't care, I'm going to break
down them walls. Gonna make them gains.

What was your favorite RP (Participated or as a viewer)?
The Haunting: Essentially, this is the culmination of several years (out of character) of hard work with Alexander. Here, he finds the disembodied spirit of Zengi, the Witch King, and successfully merges with the malevolent lich. I also got Rob to come out of retirement for a short while, which is always a pleasure.
Whispers in the Mountains: Steven, Amber and I's three-man assault on Blaurg Mountain with land-changing consequences. This thread introduced a lot of previously unseen lore, and also showed varying sides of the characters involved.
It's Not All In Fashion: Noko and I have quite a few threads together, namely with Aristotle and Phoebe, but I feel this takes the cake. It shows how vulnerable these two super powers are, and how very human they can be beneath all the armor, powers, and technology at their fingertips.
The Blossom and the Pistil, Part 1 (Part 2): These two threads are one of the most enjoyable missions I've ever been on. Titan is one of my favorite writing partners, and the fact we managed to tackle this mission (which actually started in late 2012 and didn't actually end until, well, sometime last month) makes me fairly happy. Over the course of the role play, he and I got some really good chances to flesh on our characters and their growing friendship.
The Tea Party: Like all of the events Gabi hosts in Orisia, this thread had a lot going on. There were a ton of fantastic writers participating; a lot of stories being made. Personally, I enjoyed this thread for the interaction between Alexander and Charlotte; probably one of my favorites we've had thus far.
The Hostess of Katella Manor: This thread originally started out as nothing more than a random, spur of the moment idea between Dana (Vixen) and I. But, over time, it evolved and flourished, becoming an amazing story that I'm truly sad has been put on hold (due to her departure). I fully intend to continue this the moment she returns, and hopefully we will be able to bring its chapter to a close.
Any role-play goals for 2014?
Yes,
actually. My co-conspirators and I have some very large plans we'll be
seeing to completion this year. We hope to bring about a rather drastic
change to Valucre (Terrenus specifically, for the moment. You other
continents will have to wait your turn) that we hope everyone will be
able to use to fuel their current stories, or create entirely new ones.

What do you feel are your major role-playing achievements for 2013?
Everything. I really pride myself on the consistency of my role-plays. One thread leads into another, and most can be traced back to the original storyline of Irene Gabriela DuGrace waking up in Valucre, wandering about on Terrenus, and ending up on Genesaris where she finally decided to find and establish a home for her family. It's been wonderful to have a place to write down, follow, and include so many people in my little plot. But for this particular year, I think some of the biggest achievements were the severing of Gabriela and Roen's relationship in the most emotionally gut-wrenching way, the establishment of Orisia's sister island through some excellent role-plays in Brightstorms Keep and the Nameless Desert, and the loss of a very important character--Dollya.
What was your favorite RP (Participated or as a viewer)?
Three-way tie between:
Pseudomonarchia Diablous where Roen nearly kills Gabriela--which for anyone who has been following the odd relationship between the two should have been heart-wrenching (it's unfortunate that it was never finished).
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, because really after all the shit that Gabriela has been through who didn't want her to have a chance at being happy? And it's tragic outcome, which is going to have a HUGE effect on the path I take in my role-plays for 2014.
The Nameless Desert--Rebels Encampment, because it's a beautiful war thread.
Any role-play goals for 2014?
Like I said above--with Gabriela having recently had her memories taken away it's going to be very interesting to see how she's going to adapt to being in a position she doesn't want. Essentially, I've changed everything about a character I love and made her brand new. It will be interesting to see her react to people that she once trusted and people she use to see as enemies. But the biggest goals I have are establishing a nation-wide form of communication throughout Orisia and Ceyana, which will hopefully generate a lot of role-play and because I finally feel Orisia has grown to the size that really establishes it as a true power (small as it is) I think I am ready to start extending its reach by forming allies and maybe even stirring up some trouble.

Making everything better. I already started an event for the Academy to encapsulate its transition from the attack by the Pale Kings back to, and beyond, its former glory. I've put out a few lines and gotten teachers and have my eye on a few of those for a headmaster that can help intergate the Academy into Terrenus the way I always wanted.
Also plan on working closely with Off Topic for Terrenus's Daily Weekly base of operations.
Additional revamps to the Rules of Engagement (already made a few) to better dictate interpersonal conflict and stage preliminary foundation for all of those people that want to perform large scale warfare but tend to make those a series of individual fights with individual characters. Up to now I've pretty much given anyone what they've wanted as long as they say "it's for story!", and let's say less than half the time do people live up to their own promises so I want to build in a bit more idk, workflow into the RoE to make things both more automatic and smoother, rewarding those that are serious about their effort (like Ty, who has been chipping away at my shit for years now) and dissuading those that want to drop in on Patia and suddenly manifest an airship or kill the town in a post or two (haven't had that in a bit but you never know!)

What do you feel are your major role-playing achievements for 2013?
While
I do value all of my writing, I would have to say that all my
accomplishments with Alexander - from obtaining the soul of Zengi, the
Witch King to expanding his territory and conquering Blaurg Mountain -
are my crowning achievements. Following closely behind that is being
promoted to the leader of the Dead, an organization I've been a part of
since I joined Valucre. Of course, none of these could have come to
fruition without the assistance of the wonderful writers participating
in each story; their help has been tremendous.
The Haunting: Essentially, this is the culmination of several years (out of character) of hard work with Alexander. Here, he finds the disembodied spirit of Zengi, the Witch King, and successfully merges with the malevolent lich.

What do you feel are your major role-playing achievements for 2013?
It's hard for me to say. As you may or may not know, I split my activity between two accounts (three actually, with the third a closely guarded secret!) and so I do quite a bit with a number of different characters. Limiting it just to this supernal account, I would say that the major roleplaying achievement for 2013 was Dupes of Imposture. It didn't get really active and cohesive until the third thread where I found a solid team of players, but it spanned quite a bit of time.
I also had a lot of fun "seeding" stories as Arthur (from Rosinder), trekking out over the world (Terrenus > Genesaris > Rosinder) and bringing with him an ice-fairy he met in Shawnee and showing her the world. Less impactful insofar as it really only currently affects those few characters involed, but will lead to some nice international conflict and bringing it back to the introspective portion, some nice development and exposure for Arthur as a character. It was great.

I'm refraining from spamming threads by my Fan Favorites, because goodness knows I could, and am trying to limit to just one from each category.
