How long have you been playing?: My first game was last August, so I’ve almost been coming for a year now.
Describe your character: My character, Laelia Sittia Caldus, is a prostitute from Civen who ran away with the help of a traveling band of performers. She is independent and confident, but she doesn’t handle rejection very well. She is also very loyal to the people she cares for, and at this point in her life she is struggling with moving to the Freelands and coming to terms with her sister’s death.
What was your favorite in game moment?: I think it would have to have been at the end of my first event with Lia. A large undead fight was happening below, and Lia was watching from a hill with Sabine, the woman who helped her out of Civen. As we were watching the PCs struggling with this hoard, we saw two shapes come running up the hill towards us. Thinking that they were undead, we bolted to the Maplewood cabins and hid. The fire was going, so it was hard to see anything past the cabins, and we knew that the two figures were out there, but we had no idea where they were. I had a dissipate potion in my hand, waiting for them to attack. Finally, they entered the light to reveal that they were 2 PCs who were running to find help.
Why do you love Kingdoms of Novitas?: There are two main reasons I love Kingdoms of Novitas. First, the people are great. The more everyone gets into the larp, the better it is, and everyone is so honest and open about their dedication to the world. I love how much people put into this, and how accepting they are for new people. I felt like I fit in from the first event, and I always had someone offer to help when I looked confused. I love how detailed a lot of the garb is, and how much of a blogging community there is. Things don’t stop when we all go home after an event.
The second thing that I really like is how many different roles there are as NPCs. It really gives another level to the world, and it’s great having the opportunity to try completely new things, or to do things that I wouldn’t even consider doing in other situations.
Who is your favorite PC?: I really like Poe. As NPCs, I’ve had some pretty funny interactions with him and how he handles monsters. It’s kind of unexpected to have a PC approach a dangerous situation with little to no intention of killing the creature, and that has made the interactions fun for me. As Lia, I had a neat conversation with Poe about whether anything deserves to die based on its nature, which is something I hadn’t expected to be talking about. It adds a neat perspective, and I am looking forward to future interactions.
What did you think your character concept was? What is it now?: I had wanted to have a character that pulled me out of my comfort zone, and that’s where the confident prostitute idea came in. I had initially planned on having her from the Dellin Tribelands, and I hadn’t really thought about her motivations. Then I thought of a single secret that she would have, and her entire backstory became based around this secret. By the time I brought Lia into game, I had most of her life up to that point planned out as a set of stories that I would put at the beginnings of her blogs.
How many PCs have you had? What happened to them?: Lia is my first and only PC. I don’t have a real plan for her, so we’ll just have to wait and see what ends up happening to her.
