Let's see here...
- What kind of stories has your character gotten into? 2014 was when Chachan first arrived in Balmung, so there's been a lot that's happened! He's made friends, started on the path towards Paladin, and even done a custom crafting order or two!
- How has your character changed since you rolled them (Or if you have been here since the beginning, since 2013)? I originally made Chachan to be a goofy, happy, comedic character. He has, however, decided to make it known that he isn't all smiles (just mostly) and has thrown tantrums and gotten quite pouty on occasion.
- What has been your favorite RP moment this year? There's been a few that I've really enjoyed (meeting Warren and Roen, notably), however I think the ones that bring the biggest smile to my face are those tender, sibling-like moments between Chachan and Leanne. Him leaving her a gift while she slept on Starlight is a particularly warm, fuzzy one.
- What was the most shocking RP moment this year? Probably one of Chachan's two big tantrums. The first when he was trying to help too many people at once and got frustrated but the second... the second was probably the most shocking. He got into a big fight with Leanne and got into a real slump about it. Fell asleep outside and suffered some hypothermia. I kept wanted to try and cheat him out of the situation, so I was OOCly throwing information around so someone could save the little guy.
- Has your character made any mistakes? Plenty. Heck, just read the last question. You really don't deal with a bad argument by nearly freezing your ass off. One of his first interactions was technically a mistake - he was too vocal about his Doman heritage and ended up in the middle of quite the argument.
- What was the most surprising thing you found out about your character? I think the most surprising thing I realized about Chachan is how physically strong he might actually be. I knew he was the son of a smith and had spent most of his childhood learning the hammer, but I never really put the two together and realized what kind of muscle-power might be in the little guy. He may be the cutest barafell ever.
- What relationships did your character build? Tons. So many relationships! Mentors in Warren and Roen, lesser teachers in Artemis and Nira, an "adopted" sister in Leanne, a grump-rival in Koporo, and so many other friends! Alex, Howl, Aiden, Romy, Shas, Roysia, Kage, Jancis... the list goes on and on! I'll probably have to keep a list soon so I don't forget any of them!
- Any relationships that fell apart? His sibling relationship with Leanne was a bit shaky after their first big argument, but that seems to have stabilized. The only relationships that fully fell apart are probably those that I planned to develop with folks and fell through from trying to take on too much at once.
- What was your favorite large-scale event and why? Starlight, I think. Just the whole thing. From the ball to the other, smaller RPs that spun off due to the holiday season, it was all great. I look forward to the other major holidays.
- What was your favorite smaller-scale event and why? It's not really an event-event, but I think Chachan's acquisition of Gran was quite the event. Just because that little porker's sparked all sorts of interactions!
- What are you looking most forward to seeing in the future with your characters growth and story? I'm really excited for wrapping up Paladin's Proof and hopefully getting Chachan properly recognized as a Free Paladin. There's also a major plot point for the kid I've had floating in my head for a bit that's about to shake things up again for the guy. Hopefully he should come out of it a better person but... we'll have to see... Please look forward to it!
