then worked in being saved by the sisters of eve

getting dropped off onto amarr space to live with the temple people.

then fighting on pikes landing during the early days and getting myself nearly killed in the process. and then i got a first gen implant and it all went down hill from their :P

Admittedly I would say that's not clich+¬.....it was inevitable if you work blood raider into your plot and you aren't on their team.

To be honest having that as part of my backstory offers lots of options for development for example if ccp offer mixed bloodlines yoi could mix that in well as steady was to young to remeber his parerents. I think the mystery element adds a lot ccp making me templar 9 during the event also helpped even id i got into trouble for convinceing the others to commit suside during the event :-P

SIN Sleeth ValhallaCorp 0	Posted - 2014.01.29 07:10:00 - [1] - Quote -This is a short note, just something to remind everyone of when it comes to lore. More of the true aspect of what your clone could have been. Almost everyone has a sob story about they're whole family dying probably but here is something different. If there is something you'd like me to note on I'd be glad to spend some time thinking about it and bring it up for you. The question remains simply, of what a clone leaves behind on his road down the path of a warrior. What they had become, or what they had transformed from. Who they left behind, a legacy, life, or dream. Where they had come from, or if they had a family at any point. If they had someone to send ISK too back home... I sat at my office, chatting through the communication systems. He was twenty already, my son. When you die, it takes away your sense of time. Even if you know you've been out there for days, you sit down, and look at the little boy you left behind. I still remember the day I left, and the hard truth I had to tell him. "Daddy, why do you have to go to war?" "To keep you and mommy safe. You don't want bad guys here right?" "No." "Didn't think so." "What if you die?" I stopped, I had never lied to my son, not once. No little kiddie dreams, no false gods, and today I had to be truthful too. I kneeled down, and looked him in the face. Those large questionable eyes ate into my soul, and broke me with my words. "I won't die. None of us die." He was sent to an academy, I didn't want him to know about the clones, or the war. A nice private school was all he needed. No social networking beyond talking to me. I never took my armor off during a call, he couldn't see what I was. Today, fifteen years from my leaving I was asked again in our chat. "Dad... What if you die?" Again, I stopped, and slowly reached up to grab my visor. Removing it, showing him what used to be his father. What used to be his dad. What was now a soldier. "Sometimes..." I began, looking at those eyes, as wide as the last time he'd asked. The awe that consumed him, the fear, the shock. "Sometimes I wish I could, but none of us son, none of us die." I am a shadow to the gates of Valhalla. In the mist I shimmer, the light I fade.

Just as a small notification, which many can get wrong, is that this father figure can't have been a clone soldier for no more than three years at best, and that's if you were part of the very early closed beta. Personally, you could have him be a regular soldier until three years ago, when he became a clone soldier. Otherwise it's a good story, keep up the good work!

All these questions and more shall torment my small existence for an eternity... Intelligence without ambition; is a bird without wings...

It's an underlying note to be so far ahead. I know, the clones haven't been around that long. It's showing that the war will never end. I am a shadow to the gates of Valhalla.

[:D] The dying sibling is just as common as the orphan side story. (No offense intended.) Generally, the whole: "I lost my sibling/parents/significant other/pet dog and now hunger for revenge/redemption/salvation/lost cucumbers!" thing is overused and gotten really dull. My own character's story does not involve any death of some person important to him, but more about finding himself when he was adrift for most of his life.

I wrote Trues Lore with less his fathers death in mind, that's more an after thought at the beginning of the story which sets up his character for the brutal tempering I gave him....although I understand that a death is usually a pretty bog standard and overused catalyst for action....I cannot stand to leave my characters alone and let them lead happy lives. Leithe on the other hand.....I loaded his backstory with some grimdark ****..... "My Faith in you is absolute; my sword is Yours, My God, and Your will guides me now and for all eternity."

steadyhand amarr Bragian Order Amarr Empire 2222	Posted - 2014.01.30 11:22:00 - [18] - Quote I get why many would not but its a bit of a giggle and that number didnt have any center stage stuff an extra by vertue of their being 12 of them. If templar 9 suddenly became key and massively disagreed with my character i would just drop it. But iv built stongly into my character including how he was selected and trained etc. Its also fun because i get RP noone beleaving steady just like u would in RL :-P Im even sad enought to check that each templar went their own ways when the empress bombed the CRUs.
