Rorey was born and raised in a northern tribe. He had an older brother, a twin brother, and a younger sister. The tribe he was raised in was exclusively MR barbarians and shamans. Magic was extremely frowned upon. His mother was a shaman and his father a barbarian. When Rorey was fourteen, his parents got into a bar fight in the moot and killed several guards while resisting arrest. They were made an example of and turned into stone in public, unable to return to the mortal plane because no corpse existed. This solidified their children’s anti-magic views, especially those of Rorey’s twin brother, and also caused them to revile the law, which they viewed as a tool for the weak and cruel to hide behind.
Growing up, Rorey was very self-conscious of his small size. In his travels, he met warriors much smaller than he was who were able to accomplish great things by utilizing magic. After a few years, Rorey made the decision to pursue magical enhancements that would improve his battle prowess. He also chose not to pursue MR training. These decisions brought him great shame and caused a rift between him and his siblings and the rest of his tribe.
There were lots of quirks and small back stories that were made up to flesh out the relationships between Rorey and his siblings. Unfortunately, the three people who were going to roll with me never really got into their characters.
He joined the harlequins because their abilities were well-suited for the kinds of wars he wanted to wage. He became a leader somewhat quickly and maintained leadership for most of his life. As he got older, he became less and less interested in battle, and his armor grew dull. He remembered his days as a proud warrior, and felt ashamed. Rorey returned to his tribe, which had heard stories of his greatness as a warrior. They would not accept him back, however, until he proved his prowess without the use of magic. Rorey felt that he would be unable to match the other warriors of his tribe without using magical effects, but to his great surprise, found that his skill in battle had grown to transcend those effects. Rorey proved himself to be a great warrior, and was accepted back into the tribe, with his pick of the Giant women to sire children with.
Rorey was made to mess around on and pvp with as much as possible and as frequently as possible against difficult odds. I felt he was very successful considering the types of fights he routinely got into. He died three times in pvp. Once in the north against Landil and Dimytri because I forgot to disband my group, once to Aritha immediately after that when I wasn’t very well equipped, and once by Xunux and Ivstnesr when they jumped him immediately after I killed Kura and Therves. I expected more deaths. I purposefully played him recklessly when it came to pvp. He had somewhere around forty kills. I have them listed somewhere, on another computer. He only had to word out of combat a few times.
I loved RPing a moron. Not surprisingly, it seems to come naturally to me. Rorey was meant to be incredibly stupid, but to have the occasional insight, either in philosophy or battle tactics, that you wouldn’t expect from him. He was against laws and whenever he felt a tribunal was growing too powerful, he would declare war on that tribunal and do his best to run them into the ground. He was essentially an overgrown child, who would throw a temper tantrum and destroy a city one day, and on another day, might be overwhelmed with sadness upon realizing that he hurt a friend’s feelings. He was easily amused, and somewhat selfish, but actually very loyal to those he considered friends.
It’d be hard to thank everybody who should be thanked, but I will try to at least list a few: Tragonis, Edoras, Witherwood, Zala, Merlinda, jennbo, thyki, ilky, peso, jhorleb, aujin, bones, kin, amithlen, jvj, dexity, virsn, fury, wildun. The list is incomplete. Sorry if I left your name out.
I think I am done with playing Shattered Kingdoms. I've had a lot of fun and met some really awesome people. I have invested thousands of hours of my life into this game, and it is time for me to move on. I feel like I am part of the community, and I and will continue to post on the forums, but I no longer have the time nor the desire to play this game. Whenever I have taken a break from SK, I have said that I am taking a break but expect to return. This time, I do not expect to return. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
