Well, this made my heart sink. Started playing sometime around 1.3 or 1.4 as Raolus Solaire, decided I did things wrong with that character sometime within a week or two and made my new main Mina Longstrike.
Was a happy player of caldari FW and an aspirant vehicle user (until I came to a realization that vehicles were largely broken throughout all of dusts lifespan). I had a ton of fun in 2shitz 1giggle, until PC aspirations and internal strife with some toxic players caused me to leave the corp, but not before taking the 300m in the corp wallet. There were a lot of awesome people in this corp who ended up leaving for various reasons - most in reaction to the fanfest announcement of legion known as the 'red wedding' of dust. This character was pure caldari (aside from vehicles, because of a need to remain 'competitive' and the fact that vehicle skills unlocked the other race as well) and ended up contibuting heavily during the caldari FW push around 7-8 months ago, where it got to a point that we were fighting and winning for ~12 hours a day (though, mostly due to how broken the faction warfare system was and how easy it was to exploit).
I made a new character on a second account named Malleus Malificorum who was part of 2shitz 1giggle for a while, but ended up joining Praetoria Classiarii Templares (the dust branch of PIE) before my issues with 2shitz began. This character was probably one of my favorites, being a pure amarr and a member of a pure amarr corp, I got to have a great time playing with Templar Twelve (an eve/dust player who mostly ran the corp), Aero Yassavi and True Adamance. At one point in time I was one of maybe around ten people who had amarr commando skilled to level 5 (and it sucked hard back then, but it's pretty glorious now), and I made a serious bid at getting the officer laser (I think I came in around third place with ~3000 kills over the two day period, and got a tiny bit of forum recognition from other laser users as one of maybe the 10-20 'deadliest' laser users).
My third character was Pulvis Et Umbra-Sumus, made around the same time as Malleus, and was a pure minmatar character. I ****ing loved the mass driver on the commando, and min-logi was pretty great. I remember taking part in the shinobi event and racking up 400 some kills back when scouting and knives were both hard. Overall this character has some fond memories but didn't get near as much playtime as malleus or mina.
My last character was created not 'too' terribly long ago, and was Sei Ortek, a gallente alt that I started just to try and determine how accurate the complaints about gal assault & assault rifles were (and in my determination, they mostly weren't accurate, the gal assault had an insanely good bonus). Not much to say about this one, as she didn't get nearly the amount of playtime as the others, but did get to have some fun with roleplay stuff.
I've met an awesome bunch of people in my time with dust, and it's somewhat helped to alleviate some of my IRL issues with depression. I've never spent much money on this game because I 'made my mistake' and got burned with League of Legends and a few other online games.
I sincerely hope my characters, their skillpoints and items (like skins and the 'loyalty store' stuff) translate over to whatever new project CCP is working on to 'replace' dust. I have an incredible attachment to these characters and my personal achievements with them.
I love the dust community, but at the same time, you guys are all assholes. To those I've played with if you're reading now: All of you should know who you are, I am a bitter prickly person but I still think you guys are awesome.
Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.
I have a few alts.
