So...who is your favorite character in the game, and why? The winner will be the one who I judge to have the best reason. You can make your explanation appeal to me in whatever way you want; it could be funny, inspiring, etc. Get creative! Only your first character will be judged.

This isn't limited to NPCs; you can chose a real player as well!

What will you be winning? I cannot promise any sort of crown prize. On the 20th, I'll tell you what this character will be used for. If you ask me very nicely, I'll give you a hint. (Maybe try luring me out with some giraffe pizza... *hinthint*)

Also, this ends after I post on the 20th. I cannot tell you when I shall be posting, so make sure to get your post in! All posts after my post on the 20th will not be considered.

May the odds be in your favor. /bow

My favorite character is myself because I am so awesome

That's a little tough, but...

@Red-Galaxy, only 2% of Lionhearts would consider you a last-resort vote. Sorry XD

More importantly, my vote's gonna go to Happyapathy for his contribution to the Spiral Knights Community as one of the leading guys who spearheaded the SpiralSpy project and his awesomeness as a former guildmate. For the half-year-or-so that I did get to play with him in [Tier Zero], he's always been a rather mature member, and I've thoroughly enjoyed him helping me learn the ropes about Spiral Knights, and his company just as a guy to chat with (however brief those conversations might be) I have had the privilege to indulge in. Of course, I'm not saying that the others in Tier Zero are any less helpful to me, but they might've lost in terms of what they've done for the community.

Well, maybe Zophia/Incoherrant runs at a close second; she's my first adoptive guild-parent. :D

Actually, more like Tevokkia. She was a great member to have around in the SK community overall, and her motherly kindness was a rare site to see on the Internet overall (you'd be surprised how intolerable single mothers are when they're online. They get SOUR! >_<'' ).

And if you're reading this, @Tier-Zero peeps, this IS Antworker, formerly of [Tier Zero]. Sorry Lionheart, I don't think I've spent enough time with you guys to nominate any of you yet. ;)

^But since you're gonna use a player for a work, I WILL change my vote to a guy named Arctifice, who mostly frequents Warframe, if at all online on Steam. You'd get a better chance asking to use him in your work than Apathy, who's busy in RL. Not an INCREDIBLE MODEL figure is he, but he's pretty chill to hang around.

DESNA

@Feline-Grenadier, may be this will change your mind ;3

My favoutire is going to be Desna. The leader of the recon ranger and the main character in my old fan fic 'project retribution', unlike Vaelyn or Kora, Desna is a tough lady, she fights with ferocity and valour in battle, not hiding behind a console or use graceful tatics. But is that really all there is to this slightly overgrown female Super soldier? Let's find out!

If you read the desicribtion of the ranger armor, you will know that the armour was made from the remains of the fallen. The describtion reads that the reason for that is that the armor will serve as a reminder to the wearer that they are always within death's embrace. But really now? We all know that knights can be revived with SoL, and the recon rangers should be no exceptions. Even though it is true that you can't revive a knight if their body gone missing or the essence of soul is completely sucked out (apocrea), it is still safe to say that the rangers can avoid most unneccessary casualty. So that leaves with the really tragic ones, for example, get crushed by a deadnought in LoA, and now imagine the same tragedies happen over and over right infront of Desna's very eye (she only has one). It must be very emotional for her to witness deaths every day, and it is even harder to believe that she can still be cheerful in her speech pattern, was it an attempt to conceal her sorrow? Or anger? I think it is the latter, because in what better way would you avenge your fallen comrads other than taking pieces of their 'fragments' into battle?

And speaking of missing eyes, can you recall anyone in the entire SK NPC and player line up who have suffered direct injury to their body and survived? None, and that just make Desna even more of a bad*ss. You never see her in action, maybe it is because she already fought off the worst there is to offer in the clockwork without you even knowing it. And if you read iron wolf armor's describtion, you will know that Desna reunited the squad after the Morai war, if so, then she must have been either a soldier during the morai war, or a member of the iron wolf already. If she is already a member of the iron wolf, then it is possible that she ressurrected the squad in the honour of someone, maybe her former captain or someone she loved.

And that sums it up, if these things doesn't make Desna the most epic warrior lady of all time, I don't know what will, she is next to Samus Aran and Lora Croft in my female bad*ss list.

Giraffe Pizza? Didn't I hear Biscotti storing some in the-

Favorite character? I haven't been a knight long enough to have a standout favorite player. I like NPC's, they all have a story. It's up to anyone to decide what it is outside of details given to you. I would like to say it would be the unknown knight that you pay respects to in the mission 'Blades of the Fallen' but he isn't much of a character as he is a story.

My favorite character would have to be the Lost Soul of Almire. If anyone remembers he is the ghostly knight you speak with at the end of the mission 'Alone in the Dark.' He informs you of Vanaduke's past but also tells of his experience in the event of his return.

"My family was lost too. I fled the battle as soon as I saw the wave of flames in the distance. I was able to reach my home just in time to see it burn. I don't even remember how it ended. I have no memory of my passing." — Lost Soul of Almire

He seems to convey that he wasn't a coward, but couldn't believe there was anyway he could stand up to the fire. At the same time he shows that he cared for his family. Some say that after a family member dies, the funeral afterwards seems to pass by in a blur. I bet the same thing happened to him when he reached his home, and he died when he was grieving. I've always been a fan of Almire, before and after it fell. The backstory of Vanaduke makes him seem like a corrupted warrior who made a mistake, and can only think of one way to make sure others don't do the same. I may have picked the Prince of Ashes as my favorite, but I never liked big characters. The Almirian soul represents one of the many soldiers that died in defending their home. Whether it be from fire or from neighboring kingdoms.

Huh... Favorite characters?

Well, this is difficult.
I thought once that Rhendon was my favorite character, and sometimes I even pictured him having a daughter, or being an ex-pirate, but... that's just me going wild with imagination.

However, This simply means that I need to find a reason, or start narrowing down the list.

Hmm...

My vote?

Aphrodite. She is one of my favorite GM's. Admittedly I've only seen 3 of them (Aphro, Eury, and Hyp) but Aphrodite is definitely my favorite. To see her put up with all she has to on the forums. Namely mass amounts of angry, whiny, impatient, raging, players. Waiting for thier long promised balancing and new guns. She still hangs out with us occasionally. Like the snowball fights during Winterfest!

This may not be the "best" entry but I don't think I could take all the rage and hate and be able to hang out with the very people who just screamed at me. I really respect her for that. If you're reading this Aphrodite, you have my vote.

P.S. To all GM's you all handle this and are all awesome. Aphrodite was just the first to come to mind. No hard feelings?

Ohaiyo, minna :)

My vote goes to Feline-Grenadier, 'cause, well... He's one of the few people who actually changed part of my life through literary art. I got interested in writing(although my laziness towards it was pretty evident) and I enjoyed it.

If I had other people to pick, these guys would be behind Feline :)

1. Kariston-Ashuran - a pretty cool guy who I had fun with when I still played the game with interest. A fun guy whom someone can do a BlahTherapy session with. He also opened my mind to a lot of newer things;like I became a lot more neutral with everything I did since looking at the bigger picture provided me with confidence.

2. Topoyozariane/Topoyozada - he's sometimes childish within the game, but very broad-minded in my opinion. A really good writer, too :)

3. My other identities - looking back, they were the stepping stones to the person I am now. Yeah, sometimes I act too young for my age, and sometimes I act too old. The point is that they really helped in shaping "Hearthstone."

4. Ellis-And-Keith and Cato-Clove - two guild members I had a great time with. They disappeared at almost the same time, but nonetheless they made me happy. Ellis and Cato were like my best friends at the time, until they quit the game.

The guys listed at 1, 2 and 4 already quit the game. I miss them. :)

@Hearthstone

That does raise an interesting point. I cannot include those who I cannot get pictures of, so if they quit the game, I will have to see if I can get more info on them or not. If I can't, I may have to exclude them.

But Feline-Gernadier is your pick, since it's your first, of course.

Oh my gosh I just spilled one of the beans! *slaps hand over mouth*

*Looks around* If you're talking to me...then you flatter me.

But I am not a valid choice. Common sense says that it would be counterproductive if I was.

Need me to provide any picts? I actually don't use my forum accounts that often to play, so I go under a different username.

Contest has ENDED! Thank you all! I shall return with the results within a week or two. Why so long for such a small amount of entries? Good question! *Picks up pixel paintbrush and programming tools* I shall be too busy to answer. ;)

@Feline

No, not really. I'll try to contact the person personally, if they aren't an NPC. Keep in mind that if the winning character is unavailable, I will make note of it and select the next best.
