Aolin
Aolin
Inside a transdimensional bakery
I'm super self-conscious so didn't want to make one of these, but life has been whacking me in the figurative balls lately so I could use a nice word or two if anyone has one.

I am looking forward to where she goes, most of all! Please continue playing this wonderful character. She has definitely become an excellent addition to Omei's Order.
(sorry this is short, but we just started. I SHALL HAVE MORE LATER)
Seriously, though, super cool character, love the hidden depths and all the inner goings on that so rarely bubble to the surface - but are always there, and feel like they are. A very deliberately constructed character with weight, and gravitas if you have eyes to see it with. I don't get as many scenes with her as I'd like, but every one is a treasure.
Straid has had the opportunity to interact with a number of characters that feel organic and are masterfully played, as well as designed. So please don't take it lightly when I say that his dynamic with Aolin is second to none in this regard. Nothing about their friendship has ever seemed forced or rushed or awkward. It simply developed as the result of serendipitous path-crossing and dynamic conversation. There is a genuine sense of history and weight to Aolin's character. She feels like an essential part of the lore and is played in such a way that many could easily never see beyond the surface. Deeper aspects of her must be earned and are not readily given away. As a storyteller, I have a lot of respect for that.
As a player, your willingness to shift direction and adapt to unexpected changes in a scene is nothing short of delightful. The ways in which you describe things, the patience you show in service to the story, the lack of presumptuous action... It all makes for an RP experience that never fails to leave you wanting more.
Mad respect, and here's to many more fascinating scenes.

As a representative, she makes a very good foil for Iesid in a way the others do not.
This character has more layers than an onion. Please keep letting people peel them back to see what an amazing writer you are.
Being allowed to watch Aolin grow, even from the sidelines and in passing moments of friendly closeness, has been a joy. She's matured over the years in a believable way that makes her feel alive and part of the world. She is a whole character; whenever I interact with her, there is the sense that something else is going on off screen that I am not allowed to witness. These are the characters I treasure most in the game, because they are always new and always vibrant.
And your writing! Ugh! It is light and descriptive, full of movement and charm. It matches the character perfectly, and I really can't get enough of it.
P.S. Also your character design and outfits are always really aesthetically pleasing and on point. A+++
