How long have you been playing?: My first game was in August 2018! 

 

Describe your character: Opal (Blackthunder, as of August 2019) is a quirky Terran who has broken her chains and is starting to forge her own path on the surface. She quickly made friends with other misfits around town, got herself married to a high class lady, and started building a cave to call home. Needless to say she’s living her best life while trying to survive all of the craziness that seems to happen in Maplewood. As of recently, her past has been called into question and has become a complicated conversation of political interest regarding slavery in Terra and Gersh. 

 

What was your favorite in game moment?: One of my first games I was NPCing with Mary Weeg and we went out as gamblers: Laverne and Shirley. We spent some time at the Slap and Tickle playing games and making conversations when some Dellins came pounding at the door trying to sell items and making a scene. We tried our best to stay in character but found ourselves laughing pretty hard. A short time later the Slap and Tickle was invaded by the Dellins and a group of Fiends. All hell broke loose and before I could even say “oh shi-” Mary looked me in the eyes and disappeared under the table. I pretty much assumed I was going to get murdered and I just folded my arms and put my head down embracing the inevitability of my doom. To my amazement no one touched me and the room was soon silent, everyone dead on the floor. I looked under the table and Mary was still alive and we both looked around in shock that we’d both survived. I said “let’s get the HELL out of here” and we scooped up our earnings, leaving the rest on the table and we made a run for it. We got down the road a short way and were talking about what just happened when someone snuck up behind me and stabbed me in the back before killing Mary as well. It was Aiden who thought that we had stolen from him during the chaos and took off with hundreds of coin. It turns out Abel had tricked him and he ran after us after we’d left. In the end, we survived the chaos of an all out brawl in the Slap and Tickle only to be murdered by our new friend for something we didn’t do. 

 

What is your favorite monster? Why?: I tend to avoid combat so I haven’t experienced many monsters, but I know that wraiths keep beating the crap out of even the strongest of PCs. 

 

Why do you love Kingdoms of Novitas?: A nice weekend of escapism from the stress of normal life is quite a relief. I love getting to come out to the middle of the woods and act like a huge nerd with a bunch of other huge nerds. At first I was really afraid that I wouldn’t fit in but I was quickly proved wrong by the amazing people here. I really feel like Novitas has helped me break out of my shell and allowed me a positive way to cope with my anxiety. Nothing says relaxation like a weekend of running around the woods and hitting your friends with swords while pretending to be someone else. 

 

Who is your favorite PC?: This is a really hard question, I love all the PCs I’ve come to know. I love all my Earthkin friends for all of the nonsense we get into together. Sable Company always makes me laugh super hard. I love Jesse Luna’s PC, Don Cervantes, for begrudgingly putting up with us calling him “Donny” and “our human pet”. 

 

What did you think your character concept was? What is it now?: I had no idea where I was going to go with this character and I’m playing it game by game and just going with the flow. It’s been really fun to just develop her on a game-to-game basis. 

 

How many PCs have you had? What happened to them?:  Opal is my first and only and I’m really hoping I won’t have to make a new PC for a long time. I’m usually pretty good about keeping her out of danger but part of me is still dying to get in on some of the fighting action.
