The Man Behind The Screen


I own all three camaigns and Eye of the North. Out of game, I'm a dedicated vegetarian and enjoy reading and Dungeons and Dragons (I haven't had a game in ages, though, because I live in the middle of nowhere). My only account-wide title so far is Friend of the Kurzicks. I am Kata Alreshim on Wikipedia.

[[Image:Elementalist-icon.png]][[Image:Monk-icon.png]]Kyroth Vyzaltar


Kyroth Vyzaltar is an experienced pyromancer and a devout follower of Balthazar. When not adventuring, he can often be found in the Eye of the North or his guild hall. He is the founder of the Temple of the Silver Flame, an organization of elementalists, paragons, and melee classes dedicated to the worship of Balthazar and the art of righteous warfare. Kyroth is commonly seen wearing Elite Kurzick robes and pants, Kurzick gloves, and Ascalon boots, all dyed silver (while he owns a full set of Elite Kurzick armor, he finds the boots drab and the gloves a tad frilly). In battle, he channels his power through a flame-wreathed staff.  Notes Kyroth gets all the love. He has over two thousand deaths to his credit, as it took me a long while to progress from newbie status, but he's found his niche and established himself firmly as my favorite character. He's currently a Legendary Spearmarshal, a Mighty Lightbringer, a Shadow Agent (his favorite title on his favorite title track!), a Slayer of Nightmares, rank 3 on the Asura track, a Risky Delver, a Canthan Trailblazer, and an Elonian Explorer, and he's one mission (Gyala Hatchery) away from Canthan Protector. He just finished Eye of the North, but he still hasn't beaten Prophecies yet.

[[Image:Warrior-icon.png]][[Image:Paragon-icon.png]]Tokodan, Demonsbane


Tokodan Heraxion was born on Shing Jea Island, the son of a prizefighter in the Shing Jea Arena. Tokodan aspired to be like his father, until one tragic day his father was ambushed by an oni and slain. Tokodan destroyed the demon with his father's blade and grew up to be a mighty crusader against the oni on Shing Jea Island, which soon lead to his being dubbed "Demonsbane" by Master Togo. Later in life, he took Ranger as his secondary proffesion to increase his bond with his patron goddess, Melandru but later enlisted as a Sunspear and took secondary training as a Paragon. Since then, Tokodan has joined the Kurzick alliance in order to defend the Echovald from the demonspawn that lurk in the depths of the stone forest. He wears a full set of white Kurzick armor (except for his gauntlets and curiass, which are Elite Kurzick) and wields the legendary Kaolin Blade. His part-time pet is a white tigress named Zytaka.  Notes Tokodan was my second character created. I tink my reason for his creation might have just been Elite Kurzick armor, but what I do know is that he's pretty much one big gold sink, because I'm not good with Warriors. It might help if he had a sword with even partially useful mods, though. His character-specific title is Sunspear General.

[[Image:Monk-icon.png]][[Image:Assassin-icon.png]]Okamo Shezuki
Sent to Shing Jea at an early age, Okamo Shezuki, the son of a mesmer woman and a priest of Grenth, found the most camaraderie among assassins, admiring their swift, stealthy approach to killing. His headmaster dissuaded him from spending too much time with these friends and indoctrinated him into the priesthood of Dwayna. Okamo found new life in the goddess of wind and light, but he still remained partial to the shadows, so he devoted his life to protecting those who follow the path of the assassin. Okamo has chosen to live a simple life and wears undyed Krytan robes and a simple, deep blue Kurzick head design. His usual weapon set is a scepter of dark, plagueborn power and a Straw Effigy.  Notes Despite the fact that I find monking fun sometimes, Okamo gets the least time of any of my characters, after Toko. I've capped far more monk elites on Kyroth than I have on Okamo; I think he just needs more skills. Okamo has no character-specific titles, but I'd like to get him the Drunkard title some day.

[[Image:Ritualist-icon.png]][[Image:Necromancer-icon.png]]Zyko Oshareth


Zyko Oshareth lived a harsh early life. Born a frail albino, he was frequently beat up and abused by children his age until one day, he summoned a chained spirit from the Mists through the sheer power of his anger, which killed at least three of his assailants with bolts of dark energy. His cousin, the legendary Kahnei Katsuno, saw the Spirit of Pain for what it was and paid for Zyko to tutor at Shing Jea Monastery. Zyko's bitter hatred of people and his unnerving ability to summon the souls of the unborn lead to his rapid advancement through the ranks of Shing Jea's gladiatorial arena. After Zyko left the monastery, he began recieving dreams of a great stone forest, and taking these dreams to heart, Zyko left for a pilgrimage to the home of the Kurzicks. Zyko returned utterly changed. His spirit power had mutated; he no longer created soul energy, he destroyed it. His spirits had fallen into disuse, replaced by horrific undead which were powered by the slow destruction of the same unborn soul energy he had once created. Commanding an army of mindless undead, Zyko is a menace to all who stand for reighteousness. Zyko wears an Elite Kurzick head-wrap and vestments and an otherwise full set of Kurzick armor, all dyed greenish-blue except for one elbow-length gauntlet, which is bloodstained. His staff resembles a nightshade flower and serves as a conduit for negative energy, which is used to augment the power of Zyko's undead servants.  Notes I made Zyko intending to make a unique build for him, on which I partially succeded. Despite my vow to not make him a solo rit, I tried it once and quickly gave in to the vice of farming. He's now pretty much parked in either Arborstone or the guild hall. At least I made him evil >:} Zyko has no character-based titles.

[[Image:Necromancer-icon.png]][[Image:Mesmer-icon.png]]Saydrin Mortalys


Before the Searing, Saydrin grew up in Wizard's Folly and was well known as one of the kindest people in those parts, always willing to share what she had with whoever she felt needed it, no matter if they were wounded Bandits or weary Ascalonian guards. She developed a keen mind and a love of life that was infectious to all around her. She eventually sought further training as a Monk in Ascalon City and there fell in love with a dashing and compassionate Ranger. All that changed with the Searing. During that horrible rain of crystal orchestrated by the malevolent Charr, Saydrin lost everyting she'd ever known; her love was killed by siege weaponry, the beautiful lake by her house turned to tar, and the young child she'd always thought of as her own went missing. Saydrin's world collapsed so quickly around her that she became eternally changed; she was still the kind soul that most knew her to be, but she no longer loved life, and she saw no further reason to follow the Monk's path. Instead, she secretly began to seek out pain, and as a last courtesy, she drew far away from everything she loved. Now those who provoke her wrath face an angel comitted to vengeance, not to mercy. Saydrin wields a beautiful and elegant broadsword that her grandfather gave to her on her sixteenth birthday. Curiously, she eschews Death Magic, sacrificing that unholy field to gain potent skill in Curses and Blood Magic. She wears a basic Ascalon necromancer tunic and Necrotic boots, gloves, and leggings.  Notes When I first got the game, I tried making a necromancer multiple times and decided that I really rather hated it. Only when I got Prophecies did I decide to give it one last shot, and to introduce some variety, I made my first female character. I was immediately struck by how downright adorable Saydrin was (not a quality I was expecing in a necromancer), and she (slowly, due to the low XP yield of Prohecies) became one of my favorite characters. Her character-specific title at the moment is Sunspear Master Sergeant.

[[Image:Dervish-icon.png]][[Image:Warrior-icon.png]]Iltuuru Ezesh
Truly a child of the desert, Iltuuru (or Ezesh, as he's more commonly known) was born on the edge of the Desolation. Sold into slavery by his parents after being sent to Istan, the young dervish spent his free time making close friends and eradicating the local countryside of hostile monsters, wielding nothing more than the scythe he used to cut wheat while working. Soon, Iltuuru earned enough money to buy his freedom from his (awestruck) taskmaster. He then proceeded to live a nomadic existance, living on his feet for about five years before one day saving a young Sunspear recruit from a particularly nasty Iboga's gullet. The recruit immediately reccomended that he travel to Kamadan to find further training from the Sunspears. Ezesh accepted and has now grown into a potent engine of holy fury, paying equal homage to all five gods. Iltuuru wields a strange Bronze Scythe that he obtained from a treasure chest.  Notes Dervishes rock. That was the immediate impression that I got from my guildmates after Nightfall came out. I made one immediately after getting the game for Christmas and thoroughly agreed. Ezesh and Saydrin are currently in competition for the spot of second-favorite character. When it's finished, Ezesh will have the most ecclectic armor set of any character on my account, and as the team build he has developed with his heroes leaves him nigh invincible to all but the scariest of bosses, he has the fewest deaths of any character on my account, at fourty-two (rest in peace, Douglas Adams). His character-specific titles are Sunspear General and Slayer of Nightmares, and he just finished the Norn side of the EotN storyline.
