From many of the conversations I've had with people about Awakening I realized we were getting a bit low on positive thoughts. In many cases people seemed to have lost what they liked about the game. So I post this in order to show everyone what I enjoy and still like about Awakening.
For me it has a lot to do with the characters.
Ash
She is a bright bit of mischief in a strange world. She has more energy in her little finger than many people can comprehend. The unpredictability keeps me reading every time I see her post and I can't help but laugh and enjoy myself when reading. No matter what happens.
Mao
A serious and very thoughtful character. The thoroughness that she exudes seems to underlie a vast potential that no one will expect. In this world of uncertainty it is her groundedness that I expect will result in many answers.
Cedric
An intellectual in all matters. He seems to embody the world of knowledge. He is a professional in all he attempts and still seeks to be more. The growth of this character is both intriguing and gratifying to watch.
J. J.
Little has been seen of this character so far, yet with the energy she shows I believe it is a much better fit to Sarah's writing and creative style. The flair for an accent seems to have a clear display of Sarah's enjoyment in writing this character.
Homm
As intriguing as the world itself Homm seems to be a character set apart. Multi layered and driven on levels that even baffle me. Jang has a beautiful handle on a character that can go from frightening to laugh out loud funny, while at the same time stay within character. Truly remarkable.
Rasidar
In order to be brief Rasidar is excellence in writing. Out of all the characters his seemed to be the most developed and polished. Every move and gesture speaks of a history that is both rich and deep. And I must say it is always a pleasure to read great writing. On top of which he is in charge of leading us. No easy task.
Melissa and Zumir
These are only two small examples of the time and dedication Elliot has put into this work. On nearly every level I can think of they are fully developed. They are masterfully placed and are completely unique. This skill and ability not only comes from years of role playing but someone who is both a great writer and a person who is in touch with their imagination. And it is to you Elliot that I thank for creating this world and allowing us to share in it.
With that said I encourage everyone to remember their fond memories of Awakening and what they most enjoyed. I believe it is the positive things we must recognize as much as the problems we must overcome.
