K'del-player is a New-Zealand-Born Australian, and has been playing Pern since 1998. She has been playing at NorCon since the split from PernMUSH, has been part of the HRW staff team since February 2009, and became head admin in mid-2009. She has/has had far too many PCs, and still keeps coming up with more ideas.
She likes: gradual character development, shades-of-grey 'heroes' and 'villains', and hacking mediawiki. She can (probably) answer any wiki question you have, and remembers way too much about HRW history. She really, really likes categorising things, which is funny because, in real life, she's a librarian who hates classification schemes (search interfaces for the win!).
She also likes to write things in third-person, and could talk about her characters all day, but will try not to.
Characters Past and Present
Pia
High Reaches Weyr
Starsmith Dragonrider
(Brief)
Madilla was originally created for search-and-Impression (I was hoping for gold), but ended up taking on a life of her own as a crafter. I played her first at Healer Hall on PernMUSH, and when the NorCon/PernMUSH split happened, moved her to HRW on NorCon. In retrospect, dragonrider Madilla may have been miserable, but healer Madilla? Totally content.
K'del (Kasadel) was created to apply for HRW's search. He was supposed to Impress (
what I didn't mind: I applied with no colour preferences) and then die during weyrlinghood, clearing the way for a later Madilla Impression. He... didn't. This was partially because
Cadejoth was awesome, and partially because
Tiriana asked me to be Weyrleader. And partially because I was a wuss, and killing characters is hard, okay?
Nyavah was created as part of the
Nabol project, a short-lived attempt to play hold-based political drama. Sadly, hold-based things are difficult to create momentum with, and the whole thing fell apart, but for a little while, Nyavah was a scheming, ambitious and just not-as-well-placed-as-she-would-like Blood. No doubt she's now unhappily married to
Fitz.
Kash - then Nakasha - was created to be a Stand-Only Candidate at Fort; the whole idea was that she was pregnant and would have to drop out. She was also K'del's little sister. Circumstances sent her off-camera, and ultimately, I had her Impress at Benden. She's... happier, there. Now.
Uillean was created during a quiet period in HRW's history, and was 'secret' in as much as I didn't openly confirm or deny that she was mine. She had ties to Crom - High Reaches' old enemy - and might have lasted longer if I weren't quietly burning out.
'Crazy' Rilka was created to be part of the Exile plot that begin in April 2011. She was never going to be a long-term character: her mental instability made her difficult to fit into scenes, though she was great for adding occasional colour. She continued to be referenced long after the exiles arrived at High Reaches Weyr; eventually, she followed a number of exiles to High Reaches Hold, where she continues to ghost around to this day.
Tomaeran was created to get more involved in the Exile plot. Self-absorbed and callously indifferent to other people, he earned a lot of enemies... but still had his human side. He was
supposed to Impress as an insta-candidate (to blue Lykarioth, inspired by Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones), but as we had no non-exiles to Impress, I elected to go for something different. He's now totally married to Lady Edeline's step-daughter, so good for him.
Quinlys was a Tomaeran-replacement, though a very different one. She was designed to be a true-blue Weyr type; I'd originally expected her to be anti-exile, but she ended up feeling a lot of sympathy for Iolene, and that changed things dramatically. I pushed her towards AWLM duties as a way to have a more personal character involved than Meara; she's now Weyrlingmaster, even if she does still have personal demons to defeat. Like ego.
I'kris was created to murder Iolene. Mostly, I wanted to create a murderer who wasn't 'evil': someone people could feel for. He may have been
wrong... but that didn't make him an evil, moustache-twirling villain. He's the first character I've had that has died on camera. And, okay, yes: it made me cry. May he rest in peace... and not pieces, as I originally typed.
Rhey was created to be involved in the Nabol succession plot, and moved around accordingly. I ultimately had him Impress with a view to seeing what it would be like for someone used to fending for himself to end up stuck in weyrling training... when there is something else he'd far rather be focusing on.
Itsy is a pirate (shhh). She was pulled out of the water of the big storm of turn 36, alongside
Drex, and then spent much time floating around the Weyr trying to stay out of the way until 'her' replacement ship was ready.
A Journeyman Starsmith with a specialty in Cartography, Pia is ambitious, and determined to find a better, more efficient way to make her maps, without constantly having to rely on others.
An NPC goldrider turned PC, picked up to fill a temporary role at Fort, Mirinda is a reluctant public figure with a family that has always complicated her life. Perhaps leading a Weyr on the other side of the world will help... but perhaps not.
