Location: Not in the south anymore. Woohoo.
You topple over and cease to breathe.
You have died of natural causes.

There is a heavy-set, very old man here. His face is chubby and shows of
wrinkles, especially around his lips, though he has a strong jaw and his
thick-lipped smile is disarmingly pleasent. His eyes are dark and narrow,
maybe some sort of Zhensh. There is a black stone hoop in his right ear.
There's just about half an inch of light gray receding hair sticking up on
his head. And he is big, especially for an old man, but not totally out of
shape - his limbs are thick with fat as well as a small hint of muscle, his
legs particularly - but his rounded gut is evidence of many drinks and large
meals. The letters "COW" are tattooed down the outside of his right forearm
in fancy faded Uxmaln letters and inked on the inside forearm is a stylized
tattoo of stacks of black coins. There's a crude portrayal from behind of a
woman with pigtails bent over on his right calf. One might also notice the
faded wrinkled letters "KFG" tattooed on the left side of his neck.
Overall, you are in excellent condition.

Rokki Obsidian was a bastard child born to a poor zhensh immigrant on Anarchy's
Thoroughfare in southwest Teron, right next door to the affordable eating establishment,
Krintek's Fried Griffon. As a mere child he developed many addictions and bad habits,
smoking heavily and drinking, and had already joined up with a local gang of human and
orcish thugs known as the Battered [REDACTED]. His first career was a small time criminal
stealing and mugging people with the Battered [REDACTED] for food, liquor and laughs.
After years of bumming and straggling, he was hired on for work with the Five Daggers Inn,
did some river running and eventually his luck change completely, he inherited the business
from the old pirate owner. And though he ceased struggling with money from the income of
the business and started getting involved in big time crime and politics, it seemed he
would always be "new money", never fully adjusting to his extravagant lifestyle.

Throughout the rest of his life, he continuosly robbed, mugged, stole and lied to nearly
everyone. This behavior became solidified in his character when his last best friend as
well as his secret love, Hanney, died and passed on into the Maelstrom. Most of his money
was spent on liquor and cigars. Though he always gave back to the community, and
Krintek, who helped feed the starving hoodlums of the city.

He stole anything and everything he could. He sold anything and everything he could.
As he aged, he struggled with a strange cough that he couldn't shake, but he continued to
enjoy his cigars until his dying day, which was well passed the time his healer predicted
for him. Now he continues to haunt the streets and slums of Pyrathia to this day.
Rumors circulate around a hidden fortune of stolen goods.

Thanks to everyone that roleplayed with Rokki.

I only very recently interacted with Rokki, but from what I could tell he was awesome.

Everybody loved Rokki. Every-freaking-body. Ghailan enjoyed playing grabass in the inn. Wish there were more players like you in the game.

Wow this guy stole an obsidian from me yesterday and I was looking forward to paying him back when I finished leveling.

Disappointing - I tried to rp a bit with him after but he bounced. Guess that's what you get in SK!

Rokki destroyed worlds.

Favorite moment involved six characters...

Rokki, Hanney, Vorak, Eamani, Slayne and Divalni.


Slayne and Divalni walk in on the others, to find Vorak and Eamani ownt by petrification scrolls from the small scrolls in delf city that are like 3 gold.


We laughed, we didn't know what to do, kill them, or laugh, we ended up laughing, and I stole the gear back and gave it to the [REDACTED] Vorak, and little pretty Eamani!


Good times.

Rokki was as real as it gets for a character in a roleplaying game. The most outstanding and admirable quality of his was never sacrificing roleplay for game mechanics. He would stick true to his character, and even though that took time to get to know him, it told a wonderful story of a vivid character in SK. His demeanor helped spread the much needed SK culture for Uxmal. A Teronian rogue down to the dot.

+1 for age death
+1 for Hanney (miss you)

I think Minette's post pretty much says everything I wanted to. Speaking as Uxmal's KD, he will be missed.
