Where
Are They Now? |
Aazhian, a
Creature, Item, Life Mage (with a bow), wrote to me saying that he would
like to be on the Runway, and he'd especially like to see his girlfriend
Arianna featured; she had some pretty armor. So did Aazhian, it turns out.
This set of Red Yoroi is one of the boldest, most arresting looks
I've seen! Although shy about disrobing at first, Aazhian was soon
reciting the history of each piece: Legs off an Umbris, Arms off a Noble,
Guants off a Noble, Helm off an Unbris, Yumi off an Umbris, Orb off a
Virindi Master. 
When we first met up, Aazhian only
had a short while to pose. The monarch of his allegiance had stopped
playing, so there was a meeting planned to discuss restructuring. We
quickly did a few outdoor shots with his bow and Gertarh's Dagger.

Aazhian discussed his
recommendations for character creation: Don't specialize and have stats at
55 across the board. Train tons of skills. It must have worked for
him because he had three schools of magic, a Bow skill of 294, Melee
Defense at 298 and Dagger at 312. That's a well rounded character! He
joked with me about my vassal's piddly death stat and said it was nothing.
His was 747 and counting.


Arianna came online just when it was
time for the Allegiance meeting. I suggested that I sit in for a short while, so
that she didn't miss the discussion. Besides, I had never been to an allegiance
meeting before. (Unless you count me and Ned hanging out while he tells me what
kind of jewelry he needs next!) I met the gang: Ts'i, Diamonnd, Coor, Phoenix
Ghimson,
Sui Cheng, Tepshen Orashi, Kaneda Jubei, and Cain Dark. I didn't have to be
there long to decide that I was glad I had such a small allegiance. :) So and so
was unhappy; someone else needed a purpose; another fellow needed powerleveling.
I gained new respect for monarchs everywhre as I watched Perilous (Aazhian's
alter-ego) placate the crowd and address their concerns. Eventually, Aazhian was
elected to be the new monarch! But I missed the whole thing. I had sneaked out
the back with Arianna long before they got to that point!

When I congratulated him later after
he joined back up with us, he laughed and said, "just pass the
aspirin." Then he dragged
out his mule, a real Fashion No No! Yikes! Arianna calls the look "AC meets
Tyrion's Imanewbie." Hahaha. But he had lots of cool
stuff, including his pack of Sturdy Iron Keys which he insisted would be more
full if someone (Arianna) didn't love using them so much. They also showed
me the Diamond Ring he had given Arianna. As a
fashion photographer, I am privileged to read the many inscriptions people have
on their most cherished items. You might not believe it, but Dereth is just full
of romantics! Thanks for posing Aazhian. You and Arianna make a dashing couple!
