Thought I'd let everyone know he got hit with the auto-delete stick.
Unfortunately I have no logs of his stats or anything, but it was pretty standard.
I had tried to keep him alive in some hope I would make some awesome comeback at some stage, I tried a few times, but even when I started get back into the game RL pulled me back out.
I originally made him as an alt to my last main (Ighae I think?) but quickly became more interested with him and dropped them off in favour of Mariam. As a result he had quite a hastily thought up backstory which I will try to remember that I added more to as questions were raised in game. But mostly I let in game experiences shape what he turned out to be.
The story from memory:
As a child, Mariam's parents were unknown to him, and he lived as an orphan with his older brother on the streets of Teron (His older brother had a name, I shared it in game a few times but I can't remember now.). He had always had a good heart, and could not understand why the world was as evil as it was, and often found himself trying to help poor and misfortunate others on the streets though he had nothing himself. His older brother cared for him and as they grew and fought for what little they had.
One day, when Mariam was nearly of age, he and his brother were slipping through the streets one night and came across a group of men set upon a helpless woman. The older brother attempted to usher him on, but Mariam stubborn as he was, could not leave the woman to her fate. Mariam picked up a stone and threw it at the man closest to the woman. As the men turned, the older brother drew a blade and pushed Mariam into an alley out of sight of the men, where he fell and lost consciousness.
When Mariam awoke he found only the corpse of his brother left to bleed out on the ground. Not knowing how to survive alone, and filled with sorrow for his brothers death, he fled the city and found his way to Taslamar (I think) where is story began.
While he was first starting out, I played him out to be very uptight, and stubborn. Firmly holding to whatever truth he believed he found it much easier and much more effective to voice his opinion and convince others with words rather then swords and so he became a Priest.
Following his heart, he vowed to do his part in removing evil from the realm. Therefore following Alshain.
Future encounters he came to trust a few close people, even some that he did not consider pure of heart or intentions he found not inherently evil and founded close relationships with many over the years. Eventually moving to Ayamao.
After much careful thought, he declined an invitation to join the Hammer of Light in favor of joining the Guardians of the Alliance. Believing while his own religious duties often set him joining in raiding parties against the "darkness" his own abilities were better set for protecting and serving in Ayamao.
By the time he had turned 21 he was promoted to Knight Marshal of the Alliance, and Celestial Chaplain of Alshain, which he stayed for a long time and even his uptight attitude softened with age toward those around him whom he considered friends.
Not long after unfortunately IRL, my own personal life had taken over and I did not have as much time to spare for the game and Mariam quickly dropped of the map.
I had a few short stints, but just could not find the time anymore as much as I wanted to play.
I still pop back in occasionally but am usually playing from my tablet, which is rather frustrating to play from.
But for all that knew Mariam, know I had a blast in almost everything he was involved in.
There were many people that shaped who he was, but it would be unfair to name the few I can remember.
Hopefully I will come back properly one day
