Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archon" data-source="post: 1833470" data-attributes="member: 17082">Bad Press For The Masked KingI feel that Archonus has not been getting his props.Lately nothing but the negative has been reinforced when talking about Archon. Whenever he is mentioned, "what a jerk", "what a fool", or "what a retard" usually follow. And while it really hasn't bugged me because it's just game and he's just a character, it's starting to get to me because he's my character. It just seems like everyone thinks of him as a terd whose only use is keeping him in a box until a HP sponge is needed. It just seems like things have gotten exagerated. Whenever the subject comes up, "Archon might be king", people laugh and "say my god, i hope not, he sucks." The fact is he might not be the best choice but he certainly is not the worst as you would make him out to be. for starters, he is good. a genuinely good person who puts other peoples needs first. second of all he's legitimate. so even if Jaine doesn't marry Archon, if she dies he becomes king anyway. Third of all, he's already a noble. Born and raised in the courts of Sylvanus, Archon knows a thing or too about ruling. He also has a formal education as well as an awesome selection of advisors he'd like to think of as close friends. Fourth of all, as a former Justice, Archon has a firm grasp of the kingdoms laws and how to go about adjucating such laws. Fifth of all Archon is hard to kill. Assassins are going to have a hell of a time trying to kill a guy who can hide just about anywhere, who can change his appearance at will, who can defend himself even with out the assistance of weapons and most importantly is almost completely resistant to magic.What i'm trying to get at guys is that Archon has made some poor choices, yes, but he's still a good person with strengths and weaknesses. Human just like everyone else. i just feel, like Liz felt with Justice and Gertie feels with Xath, that you guys are basing your view on Archon on just a couple of events. Of course i guess it could just be poor roleplaying on my part, but i don't think so. i feel i've stayed true to the character despite certain compromises. But if it is poor roleplaying let me know.Anyway, i'm not mad or anything, i just feel a little bent about the whole thing.your buddy,mik</blockquote>
