[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2990522, member: 11697"] Probably a tie between A'kin the Friendly Fiend, Nisha, and former factol Alisohn Nilesia of the Mercykillers. Yeah, my online namesake isn't on the list, heh. A'kin is A'kin. It took the PCs probably around 2/3 of the campaign having passed to be able to trust the guy, despite the fact that he was a yugoloth, and actually get up the nerve to ask him questions. His complex little backstory, which is still being explored a campaign later, is about as twisted and weaving as you can find. Nisha the campaign's iconic xaositect tiefling was never intended to be anything more than a bit of humor for the first few introductory episodes of that campaign (that itself was never intended to be more than a one month one shot). Well, the players fell in love with her, she stayed on as an NPC with the party, and eventually one of the PCs fell in love with her. Oddly enough she started CN and rapidly went CG as the character developed. I have more fond memories of her probably than any other NPC, and suffice to say it did not go over well when I tried to kill her off. She didn't stay dead, mostly because the PCs were willing to eventually find her petitioner and deal with the rather unhealthy circumstances of her death (mostly complicated by where she died [quasiemental ash] and who killed her [a Baernaloth]) And the last on my list, Alisohn Nilesia. Yes, Nilesia was seen flayed alive by The Lady of Pain in my storyhour, so why is she one of my favorites? *enigmatic grin* Insanity and revenge at its best. "Justice never sleeps, why should I? Why should you?" [/QUOTE]
