FROM MANDA

Hey folks!

It feels weird to be saying goodbye to this game. Hadriel has been such a big part of my life for three and a half - wow, almost four? - years now, and I have to admit I'm not sure what I'm going to do without it. It's been a huge source of inspiration and creativity, an immense and sometimes difficult undertaking. There have been ups and downs, but above all, it's been so much fun.

While I had modded games before starting Hadriel, I'd never created one of my own. Building Hadriel from the ground up with Rae is something I'm always going to remember. Coming up with events every month, creating NPCs for people to love and hate, and forming an overarching plot for people to react to was a constant rollercoaster, stressful and exciting and satisfying. I really hope you all had as much fun as we did, because that's the truly rewarding part of running a game: seeing other people enjoy it.

More than anything, I want to say thank you for spending time with us. Whether it was a few months or a few years, I really deeply appreciate everyone who invested a little part of themselves, their time and energy and interest, in our game. I can't tell you how many times Rae or I posted a plot OOC post and sent frantic Discord messages back and forth because we were so delighted about how people were reacting to it. We tried our best to make a game that people could have fun in, and one that people could feel like they were affecting. I hope we succeeded, and even if we didn't, thank you for caring about our game.

I want to especially thank a few people. Kels, who continued making beautiful graphics for us even after she left the game. Alexis, who stepped in to help us with apps and NPCs when we desperately needed it. Grimme, who was kind enough to volunteer to mod the Hadriel Discord. Without them, Rae and I would have been totally overwhelmed. Not long after the game began, we agree that we weren't interested in turning it over to new mods, that when we couldn't mod anymore we would end it even if we hadn't completed the full three arcs we intended. Thanks to the help we got, we were able to go the distance, and I really, truly appreciate it.

All of our players are awesome and this game would be nothing without you. Thank you for making this big chunk of my life so fun, and I wish you luck and even more fun wherever the RP world, or life, takes you from here on. I'm going to miss Hadriel and all of you.

-Manda

FROM RAE

I can't follow up what Manda said, guys, I'm already tearing up just from reading it!!!

But please let me say from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Hadriel was my first major modding experience, and it was born out of Manda and I conspiring with one another late one night during one of our many discussions about rp in general. We weren't truly serious about it, but it was something fun to talk and DM one another about when I was at work- what would the setting be like? Who would the NPCs be? What kind of rules would we make? Eventually, after another session of excited, frantic brainstorming, I realized: oh god, we're actually going to do this.

I was really scared! I didn't think that I had it in me to bring a game to completion. Enter Manda, who was with me every step of the way. She has been the absolute rock of Hadriel, keeping everything together and encouraging me and reassuring me, even when I was going through some rough times and wasn't around much to push the game forward. I can confidently say that without Manda, the game wouldn't have survived past its second year and I owe so much to her.

And then there's all of you! This sounds weird to say, but I've never really written a story that other people have cared about before. The enthusiasm and excitement that so many of you showed while we were dropping major plot events, or the debates that you had over our moral dilemmas, or the way that all of you just consistently volunteered, showed up, and thought outside the box to bring the plot forward in ways that Manda and I hadn't anticipated... I can't even begin to explain how much that means to me. The players of Hadriel, past and present, have done so much and the game wouldn't exist without you guys! So thank you all- thank you so much for being here, and for playing in Hadriel!

We've come a long way from nervously counting the apps as they came in on October 1st, 2015, from DMing, 'do you think we have enough players?' to one another, from not being able to think of good names for our NPCs(so we just named them the obvious- neither of us are good at naming things at all, see: the Null, see: [Name], see: the game was almost called The Spires until we flipped through some angelic-sounding names in a name generator site). Both Manda and I have learned and grown so much from this game, and I hope that some of you feel the same!

You guys are so amazing and we love all of you. We wish you luck wherever you decide to go, and thank you again for bringing Hadriel to life!

-Rae

Comments

Lauren | Caedra Nisariel

[abyssalarcana]

Hey all! Sorry I sort of vanished right at the end of the game but I just couldn't keep up between my usual multi-hiatus summer fieldwork and a fading interest in playing Caedra.

But man, did I have a fantastic time here. This was absolutely a great way to return to DWRP after many years away. You're all wonderful, supportive people and I feel absolutely honored to get to play a villain OC and yet have so much rich and wonderful CR and make some lasting friends even though she's an utter nightmare of a person. I almost don't want to pick particular moments from Hadriel to mention as favorites because honestly there are too many good ones.

Caedra here has gone back home where she remembers none of Hadriel, which is really for the best. She's got a big battle coming up, as the campaign she's from continues - the PCs are journeying through the Abyss right now with a goal of killing her and some of the other higher demons of Amamot's realm once and for all. I have no idea if she'll survive or not so the next few months will be pretty interesting!

[circumitus]

As one of the folks who's been in Hadriel since the near beginning, Rey has decided to stay. She's made a home for herself, having built up the Speakeasy from scratch and not having much desire to return home anytime soon.

Of course, she'll be staying with the resident dadbot Nick Valentine, who's come to be family to her over the years and one of the few reasons Rey doesn't just tear up every robot she sees anymore. Wups. Someone will have to stick around and keep an eye on the old detective, as well as keep him in working order.

Together they'll be living with Tripod the mutant cat (who I now have a plush of, courtesy of the lovely Grimme herself).

Happy End. Because they deserve it. It's been a great ride. I've made some wonderful friends here, had some delightful threads and memories. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

nico / kate & steak (& matt & dylan & serah)

[dedikated]

I'm severely emotionally compromised right now, it's fine.

So, I know I've said this a million times throughout the years but, seriously mods (and players past and present!), thank you. I have never had a game experience I could really call home despite having been in LJ/DWRP for over a decade. I would constantly flake out in the span of three or four months and before I joined this game, I thought maybe RP games just weren't for me and I didn't suit long-term playing. But then Hadriel happened, and I eyed it for a while and backed out due to life and things, and eventually joined in March 2016 — right in the middle of what would become a continental move. And with the exception of a much needed 2 month break, you've been stuck with me ever since.

Sorry about that, but y'all got me hooked. There's so many amazing memories I've made within the game — from the very first fuck up of making Silent Hill worse to stupid cute shipping and the absolute honour that was having Alexis pick up Kate's best friend and bring her to full colour fantastic life. I've fallen into countless fandoms thanks to the amazing casts here (UD crew shoutout of course, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and lately — though the cast is long gone — Borderlands) and made some of the most solid friends I could possibly imagine making through DWRP. The various characters I've played — some throughout and some for only a brief moment — have all been received incredibly well and I've never had a character in the game where I haven't had some instantaneous, amazing chemistry.

All in all, you're all fantastic, and I'll definitely be mentioning some specific moments to each of y'all when I get to going through this, but this is the overall big, big thank you for a game that's not only given me hilarious memories ICly, or the ability to stretch my writing muscles in ways I never imagined, but also let me meet such a fantastic crop of people as I did.

Stay awesome, guys, wherever you go from here!

AND MY CHARACTER EPILOGUES:
— steak / Nothing amazing here, he's going back to Tierra with Red Wine where they'll continue fighting each other and fulfilling all tasks that make human life easier on the giant floating fish planet.

— kate / So I guess she's taking a boy home with her? Whoops, that's going to be fun to explain when they wind up in her friend's house. But she's also taking back a special orb that will allow Faith to get her memories of the city back if she wants (please want to, Faith, it's going to make her existence so much easier if someone in her friend group knows she hasn't completely lost her mind). From there?

Well, she's got her own home to rebuild. Thanks for the inspiration, Hadriel. She's gonna stop running from that place.

Whew that's a mouthful! Ok, I've said all the sappy stuff I wanted to say in the main body of the post, and the epilogue for most of my characters is just the epilogue of the game in the ooc post but!!!! Let me say some of my favorite memories in the game!!! Oh my gosh there's so freaking many. In no particular order...

For Rome oh my gosh, there's so many. He had such a fantastic relationship with Maketh, which ultimately resulted in him betraying the Guard for her, and then after she left, his coming clean to Nick about it just killed me!!! Also, I can't talk about Rome without talking about his hilarious relationship with Kyna. Those two were the absolute best! And Kyna, you have to make good on your plan of kidnapping Rome from his homeworld and bringing him back with you ok.

And for everyone's favorite shitlord, Rhys......... well, what hasn't he done? There is my absolute favorite cast-clusterfuck of all time involving booty calls, lying about friends, and getting punched in the face... then, of course, there's Rhys releasing Pong while a zombie apocalypse is happening, and he never learns so of course he also releases another one.... Rhys had some of my favorite threads ever as well as a weird budding romance with Gren that sadly never came to fruition, sob, but to keep it short and sweet, I'll just link this hilarious Krieg one and call it a day!

Onto the rest... it's a lot to reflect over but man, I've had some fantastic NPC threads! The interactions between Sharon and Fear over the years has been absolutely unexpected and I love the two of them so much- Sorrow and Rosie (and Nick, and Rey) have always had just amazing threads and I really cherished that CR as well. My favorite thing in this game was that so many people strove to have actual CR with the NPCs- being able to build those relationships and ultimately let that effect the outcomes of some of these events has been really rewarding to me and I'm sure that the gods felt so too!

In focusing all my attention recently onto endgame, I haven't been able to close out CR as much as I'd like- but now that the heavy lifting is over, I'm absolutely willing to go back and do some backdated threads if anyone would like! :)

I've said thank you like ten million times but let me say it again- thank you all! I'm so #blessed to have had this experience and everyone who has threaded with me along the years has helped to shape this amazing thing. I can't believe it's over, but I'm excited to see what's next for everyone!

[evocation]

I'M GONNA CRY Kyna loved Rome so much!!! She's totally going kidnap him and then zap anyone who looks at him funny or tells him what to do ever again

[synthedick]

Rome coming clean to Nick about the god killer and all that followed was so memorable for me, man. I wish we'd managed to get more threads, but I loved what CR they had!

AND OH NO I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT NICK AND SORROW. I really, really love how far they came in terms of respect, especially when Nick handed over the god killer. And bits where Fear pointed out that Nick was one of the robots they felt they could trust because he'd proved himself as caring about the city really hit me straight in the heart. ♥ I just sincerely enjoyed the NPCs all around, okay.

[synthedick]

Rey and Nick's CR is some of the absolute best I've had in my DWRP time, and you know I could go on for hours about how much I love them. They've had so many memorable threads, and the fact that they both found something they needed -- a family and people who make them feel like they matter in the here and now, no matter who they used to be in past lives -- brings a smile to my face every time. I love that Tripod became his own character, and that they'll be getting the home they deserve.

And while they weren't nearly as close, I do love Carlisle and Rey's interactions, especially as he kind of came to look up to her in a lot of ways. Meeting two iterations of the same character was really eye-opening for him in regards to "other worlds, same people sort of," and helped him cope a lot with some of the tougher internal conflicts he faced.

So in short, thank you for everything. ♥

Ami | Lance, previously Chris and Connor and maybe others I can't remember

[lifetothefullest]

HEYO EVERYONE here we are at the end of the game, and even though grad school kind of killed my participation the last several months I'm really happy to have had the chance to stick through to the end. This has been such a good game and one I'm glad I got to be a part of, especially for so long! I joined with Chris in like the second month the game was open, and aside from a few months break somewhere in the middle I've been here the whole time.

For character specific stuff, including plans and favorite threads and such:


Lance - OH MAN he's had a whole ride; I've gotten to do so much great stuff with him. It probably wasn't too well known that, for awhile, he was totally fine with flipping sides to the Null in order to get home alive, and really only decided to be firmly on the gods' 'side' when it was clear the Null were just horrible.

He got some fantastic antagonistic CR, especially with Maketh and Hux, and of course had a ton of really great positive CR; Kyna and Nate ended up his closest friends, like basically siblings, and I have a lot of feels about them. I have lots of feels about a lot of CR honestly but there's just too much to mention all of.

As far as plans go, Lance is going back to Kyna's world to continue learning magic and, eventually, hopefully be able to travel to other dimensions especially to torment Nate. He decided not to mess with the timeline in his world, knowing everyone is okay without him, and so he's instead just kind of moving onto the next adventure. His life's always been full of massive changes, and he's ready for this one.


Chris - He also got a pretty long, excellent arc and came to terms with everything that happened back in his canon by the time he left. He got along with so many people and had such good CR but I especially loved his CR with the gods; Hope and Fear in particular. He really genuinely liked Hope, and Fear morphed over time from being this horrifying all-powerful entity to kind of a dweeb who could do bad stuff but Chris was just generally chill with, which was hilarious to play out.

I love that some of his setting contributions stayed in game for so long (like the emergency program) and he's currently back at home, having survived the mountain and eventually finding out that so did everyone else but Josh.


Connor - He wasn't in game super long, partially due to my lack of time and partially because he's just a difficult player to handle, but there was so much good CR. He and Alphys were really cute and I will love them forever, and he also bonded with some of the other robros and, weirdly but awesomely enough, Pratt. That was all some majorly unexpected but such good CR.

Connor came from the best ending for his canon, so he's back at home helping with his species gaining independence and all that.


IN GENERAL once again I love everyone in this former cave and I've had a great time playing with you all. Until next time! ♥

Gem and Trafalgar Law

[hot_mes]

Fun fact, I test drove at least three characters before finally apping Law, over the space of a year or so. Figures Jerky McJerkface is the one who stuck, who knew. I'm glad I was able to be here for the end, this game is one of the best-run of all those I've rode to endgame. Ridden? Whatever I'm drunk it's cool.

Thanks to everyone who gave the prickly bastard a chance, he's had some weird an varied CR and I enjoyed it all, including and especially negative /points to Newt. My personal favorite moment was the nightmare event where Michael saved him from Doflamingo only to get manipulated into almost killing him. Fun times. The first Null attack he was a part of, also fun. I just mostly love his CR with people whether positive, neutral, or negative. So it's you guys. You, I love you.

Law is probably going to run for the Door as soon as he reads Sorrow's post and get the fuck out of here, he's wanted nothing more than to get back to the New World and finding the One Piece and he doesn't want to remember a thing of this place. It's a shame he doesn't have the happy sentimental feelings I do. 'Course, if Lance, Michael, Harlan, or any bots are still around he might say goodbye forever to them first.

[hot_mes]

keeps you forever

Anodyne | Glacius

[glacius]

Debated whether or not I should post here since I wasn't as active towards the end as I would have like due to various life things, but I still want to say goodbye to my remaining CR and all that so ;3; here I am!! Thanks for the people that made this place fun throughout its lifetime. It was one of the first games that I joined in relatively early on and stayed on for the rest of its life cycle, so that's saying something about the people here. <3 Stay cool y'all!

As for Glacius, he'll be having a conversation with his partner as they decide where to go next, which will result in them eventually heading through the Door to return home. After that, the stars are finally the limit, as the resident ice alien has yearned for. He'll be sad to be leaving the friends he made here, though, especially his sister-in honor, Kate! Once he gets one of his people's ships back into his possession, he'll definitely be using its fold core to come pop by for some visits without having to rely on any of the god-fuckery that could be involved with the Door. Best of both worlds!

[glacius]

KAAAAATE <3 Thanks for being the best friend/eventual sister in honor that Glacius never expected he would end up with! It's an angle for CR I have never gotten to play out for him, and the fact that he was able to find that in a human, a member of a species that he had so many problems with from his own universe... it's just all heartwarming and delightful.

Thank you for always being up for threads and for helping all this happen! From our own CR to helping to pitch in with the Siphon player plot, you've been great and I can't thank you enough. <3 I hope we get to keep in touch here and there even after our endgame threads here wind down!

[abyssalarcana]

same, fam

Edit TO ADD: NO I must say more I am too full of words. You know this but you are a huge part of what made this game great for me. I don't run into people often enough who want to thread out combat, and exploration, and all kinds of in-depth character study. The variety of the threads we had (and have!) and the consistent quality are just fantastic.

And of course, we had so much fun with these two. The one thing I regret is I just never found a good opportunity for her to turn against him, and I think the one time she would have would have been at the end when she would've just tried to nuke everyone on both sides for shits and giggles but I just don't have the energy for all that these days. Instead, we can enjoy that somehow, Law of all people got on the good side of a demon and they had a great time being assholes together. What an amazing outcome.

[hot_mes]

ahaha I know, right? God, I wanted that turn so hard, him flipping on her or whatnot. Instead he gets to be quietly smug that he managed to put off her attempts at claiming his soul successfully.

/clings to forever

Grimme | Nick Valentine & Carlisle Longinmouth

[synthedick]

So I apped into this game with Nick Valentine in the early days after the game I was in closed. Admittedly, I mostly applied because friend Sydney was here with the Alcohol Demon, and I saw it as an excuse to get to play with her again. I thought the setting looked okay, the NPCs looked kind of neat, and most of the people seemed nice enough. A couple of people from the game I had been in were even apping in the same cycle.

And then this game became home for me. I loved the interaction with the gods, who weren't some all-knowing NPCs, but actual characters in their own right. I loved Nick finding some commonality with Rey: though they came from different worlds, they both had a lot to deal with regarding synthetics and the formation of their individual identities. He's made close ties with other robots, including his robro Oscar, and has had a few castmates come through the game, but none more important than the brother he couldn't remember, DiMA.

In terms of his character arc, Nick backed the formation of the Guard, supporting Maketh and Henry once it was official; he became second-in-command, then co-leader after Maketh was deposed, then finally took over after they both vanished. He has often struggled with the position and his place as a reluctant leader, but has done his best to hold it together and slowly grown into it. Personally, I have greatly appreciated the CR opportunities the organization and players within it provided. You guys are awesome. ♥

When I figured I could handle two characters, I brought in Carlisle Longingmouth as CRAU from the aforementioned closing game, ataraxion, and he's been a delight to play. He's was only in the game for the last year of it and admittedly didn't get much development over there, so I was hoping to finish out his arc here, and boy did he. He's still a nervous trainwreck of a man with a cowardly streak and a snitty attitude, but he has gone from blaming himself for everything to accepting that there are some things he cannot change, and that's okay. He's made some truly incredible friends, ones who have pushed him out of his comfort zone, forced him to reexamine his choices, convinced him to follow his own advice, and given him a real purpose beyond his world -- something he never thought he had.

And most importantly, he found something he didn't believe he ever would: a partner. He's been told time and time again that twice-cursed ought not have relationships, but when presented with the opportunity to make his feelings for Glacius known, he could not resist. Not that some people didn't already see it coming. It's ultimately because his bond with Glacius (both figurative and literal), along with help from people like Kate and Ravine, that he's survived this long and will continue to survive, as most twice-cursed have a limited lifespan. The people he has met in Hadriel have not only given him a new purpose, but also a new lease on life, one he would not have had otherwise. I'm thrilled my OC got to have a happier ending than he would have on his own.

As for his epilogues, Nick will be staying in Hadriel to make sure the rebuilding goes smoothly, as well as helping keep order where needed. Thanks to the Null being gone and the Door not randomly bringing in monsters, there won't be nearly as much for the Guard to do, but someone has to make sure the local wildlife steers clear of the streets. If nothing else, he can help organize those who want to stay so they can help with the reconstruction. The city is the home he's found for himself, complete with his family -- not the real Nick Valentine's, but his. He wouldn't trade that for the world.

Carlisle will be leaving this world of false gods with Glacius, hoping to travel the stars with him. He'll probably be living in a closet on a spaceship because space is vast and huge and terrifying, but he'll eventually learn to cope with it. If he can deal with his unfortunate and terrible demise, he can deal with anything at this point... hopefully. Final fun fact: Carlisle abstained from voting in all but one poll, and that was the one that determined whether Hadriel would go to the tundra or the jungle. Given the way Ataraxion ended with the ship being crashed in a jungle, he has a lot of feelings about jungles.

Thanks for everything, Hadriel. Thanks to the players for being engaging, to the mods for creating the world for us to play in, and to all the friends I've made here. I hope to see you out there in DWRP again someday! ♥

[synthedick]

I just wanted to say that while neither of my characters got along with Caedra, I really enjoyed her overall! It's tough to play an outright villain, but she was always such a delight to read. :>

[synthedick]

I could whine forever about how much I enjoyed our two idiots being idiots, man, but you probably know all of what I'd say already. I'm glad you stuck around, and will be sure to keep up with your on Plurk and hit you up on memes! Let those idiots have their happy endings.

[synthedick]

I'm super glad you stuck around, even when life got busy! I always really liked the CR both my dudes had with Lance, especially regarding Nick. He knows Lance had a lot of issues with Maketh and how the Guard was run at times, but he really respected the guy, and I like that they eventually worked past some of that, especially as Nick struggled to step up as leader of the organization.

Also, regarding Chris: this is one of my favorite threads from the game. Thank goodness for that dweeb and for you playing him so he could explain Tiger Electronics to Carlisle.

[tongueamok]

I have A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT THESE BOYS, and while you know pretty much all of them already, I just wanted to say thank you for sticking around, even when life was kicking you pretty hard. The boys mean a lot to me, and their CR has been one of my all-time favorites, and I can't wait to see what they manage to do in the future via memes and PSLs. Carlisle came a long way in Hadriel, and a lot of that was due to the patience and support Glacius gave him. I loved those rare moments where Carlisle could be the supporter too, those small instances where he was the one not panicking for a change. Having him come here from Ax, where he met Algidus, was a real treat, and I'm glad you didn't balk at the idea.

Stay awesome, friend. You're wonderful, and don't ever forget it. ♥

I've only been here for two months and it feels like forever and no time at all. I...haven't felt like I fit this well somewhere in a long time and I'm so sad it's going to be over. But I'm also so happy I got to experience it. Thank you to everyone for being welcoming and letting me be part of your amazing endgame, for plotting and shitposting with my dumpster fire disaster child.

Klaus is going to be taking that offered trip home, which will be intercepted by Redshift because his story isn't over.

I hope i run into all of you again in DWRP. Thanks again and it's been a pleasure.

[evocation]

UGH Lance was so amazing and his CR with Kyna was definitely one of my favorites. He was absolutely one of the characters that drove Kyna's development the most, and I adored every thread they had. They're going to be annoying roommates and I'm so excited for it.

Jenny | Kyna Midha

[evocation]

Hadriel was honestly probably the strongest home game I've had in years. Everything about it was just so chill and relaxed and everyone was always so open to ideas and new players/characters that it made the game an absolute delight. I was completely terrified to app Kyna here originally, because I'd never played an OC in a dwrp game, but everyone was so sweet and easy to tag and welcoming, and I don't know how to thank you guys enough for that.

Kyna went through a ton of massive development in this game, and I don't even know where to begin mentioning favorite moments. Her CR with Wash and Ephemera was a total surprise, and I never expected any of it to go where it did, especially when Ephemera and Kyna had an amazing enemies to friends progression and she ended up in a ride or die ship with Wash that helped her development progress in an incredible way.

Her CR with Lance was also amazing, and she definitely wouldn't have learned to mature or open up the way she did without him. She was always able to rely on him for advice and just be a total dork with him. Rome was another character she had a rocky start with and then ended up adoring, and both Lance and Rome became her BFFs in ways that I have a ton of gross feelings about!

And then of course there's Harlan and Tucker, who she started out close with and only became closer with. It was really really interesting to see the way Hadriel affected their "canon" cr, and how much more mature and healthy their friendships became.

This game was incredible and I'm going to miss it so, so much. I don't know where to begin thanking the mods and playerbase for making it into such a welcoming and fun experience. I tried a few other games in the time I was at Hadriel, and none of them ever seemed to grab me the way this game did.

As for Kyna, she's headed home with Lance and is going to work on bringing back Wash and Rome as well, and she's probably going to try to cram them all in her apartment for a while until they get themselves settled. She'll put all her energy into learning plane shift so that she can keep world hopping, because there are a lot of friends she doesn't want to give up and she might even want to come back and visit Hadriel once in a while! I'm also apping a Hadriel crau version of Kyna to In the Night along with Wash and Nate. I know a few Hadriel players are apping there, and I'm really glad a little faction of Hadriel is going to stick together! I think I'd be extra disgustingly heartbroken if we weren't.

Alexis | apps, Rage & Confusion, Z, Emily, Faith, Brennan, Rita

[unheeled]

...and Kat for a little bit!

It all started with a Power Ranger. It ended with amazing memories, the honor of joining the NPC team, amazing writing from all over, a fun plot with NPCs I loved, some deep and memorable CR, and a story to follow when life tried to take my world out completely. Hadriel was my home game even when I couldn't RP anymore. My writing/RP brain fizzled out, but my love for this game did not, and that's because of everyone involved. I played a good number of characters here. All of them went home, but please if you had close CR, go rescue them!

Some of my favorite memories... how to list them when they're so many!

For Emily it's her CR with Maketh, Glacius, and Carlisle as far as crosscanon CR. Em and Maketh arrived in Hadriel on the same day and became close after Maketh punched Emily in the gut :) Glacius defended Emily during the assassins event when no one else would've stood up for her, which really helped her start to change for the better. Carlisle taught her how to sew and how to glyphcraft, but he quickly became more than that. One of my top favorite threads is the one where she confesses how guilty she feels about the prank, and he acts like a counselor to her until she shuts that down because emotions are bad. BUT no she loved them. Maketh was her soldier mom. Glacius was her source of joy during Loud Valley (Lifesize Glacius Plushie!). Carlisle was her teacher and confidant. Her CR with her castmates was also excellent. She got to work through her mistakes and start to heal those relationships. It was fun. I can't say enough good things about all of her CR.

IDK I mean, I could say more about the other characters I played, but it's all basically "here read all the threads in their thread trackers, I love it all." That's how much fun I had in Hadriel.

Playing Rage and Confusion was so good. Being on the other side of NPC posts was a great experience. Challenging, fun, and rewarding. I can't thank Rae and Manda enough for letting me in on that, and for letting me scream with them about Delight's betrayal a few months before it happened. PCs' CR with the NPCs hurt me so good, and I'm deeply grateful I got to do threads with Rage and Atem.

THANK YOU, HADRIEL! Thank you everyone. I'll treasure these memories always.

And now, to hit up some toplevels. :>

Thank you forever for Caedra killing Rita during Rita's first month in game :') I loved their CR and would've kept at it had I been able. Caedra was a fun character to read and follow. I'm glad you apped her in! Best of luck to you always

Thank you for letting me play Faith. Thank you for bringing us Matt. Thank you for Serah and Rita's CR. Thank you for being there for me when everything fell apart. You're not just a good writer, you're an excellent friend. ♥
