Hero or Sidekick?

[Keyaz]

Ensign noname! \\o/

Definitely a sidekick. Lei doesn\'t have any desire to lead and do great things, and she\'s quite happy staying in the background unnoticed as much as possible.. in the end, she gets whatever she needs anyway 0:)

Aiselyn would either be a sidekick or an extra, more likely an extra. She can be fairly outgoing on the outside, but is more reserved than she let\'s off. She couldn\'t handle the extra pressure involved with being a hero.

On the other hand, my char from CoS is not exactly a hero. Nor is he a villan. He simply follows the path before him. Sad really. You\'ll see what I mean when I start my third CoS story.

You see though, that depends on what you define a hero as. I for one would consider one who just lives life the way they want a hero. If that\'s what he\'s doing, then I think that could just as well be a hero.

I\'m glad people are saying \"sidekick\".  It\'s easy to be the hero, you get to sit back and be cool and say nothing.  But playing a sidekick or an extra, there is more give and take.  You have to be willing to do the \"hey spike! hey spike!\" thing.  That\'s hard.  The more we give by randomly walking up to each other, the more the whole world becomes enriched.

Read the second to last chapter, \"Fate and Fury\" in \'Chain of Souls\' and you will get a small hint of what he will go through in book three of CoS. He definately does not lead life as he wishes.

Arnigus Faymore (the one running the election), I\'m not sure how to classify him. Not a hero, not a sidekick, not an extra. Hmmm....any suggestions?

Oooh, I\'m glad to see villains hanging around!  I think that many of the \"greatest warrior ever\" characters are played by the younger players, who can\'t really pull off the role.  That leaves Wormtongue / Fagan types like me playing second to inferior players.  I don\'t mind being obsequious and sycophantic, provided the player on the other end understands the dynamic and can contriibute.

Now where is Xordan...hm...Hiding again...

That\'s why I said \'if that\'s what he\'s doing...I wasn\'t too sure if that was the life he lead.
