Biography
Well done, soldier.
A short story I wrote about Rosa’s life.
Rosa was my first ever character on LoTC, and I enjoyed roleplaying her immensely. The part in her story where she lives in a secluded state for a while was OOC’ly me going inactive on her character for a few months. By that point I had begun spending more time on other characters, and the Vailor end event was a great opportunity for me to end her story on a valiant note, which is how she, as a character, would have gone out.
It was on this character that I displayed a lot of newbness, (which I still do, a lot.) I realize not many people knew Rosa, but thanks to those that helped me out then, @merchant being one of them, for giving me my first “job” on LoTC. You may not realize it, or even ever see this post, but you showed me a lot of helpful hints to someone who had no clue how to roleplay. Thanks to Istria, and the legion that faded in and out of activeness, it was good fun. The Eighteen Years war, which I caught the tail end of, was great fun too.
