User:Ark
Hi, I'm Ark. There's not really a deep and mystical etymology to the name, it just stuck one day as a nice, fast, memorable single-syllable handle to use on the internet. If you played on SRTMUSH from 2010-onwards, you might know me as Ibis Douglas's player. I dipped into the revival of FFMUSH and a game called Final Kingdom briefly as Barbariccia on both games.
About Me
I'm pretty boring and normal, I'm sorry. I'm actually pretty new to this MUSH circuit even still--SRT was my first MUSH ever, and the first time I'd ever played a Feature Character in an RPG of any kind. I try to play my characters (fairly) seriously but wind up orchestrating contrivances of comedic timing around them when it wouldn't be tone-deaf. I love total nonsense and melodrama. Yuritopia is a real place, and it's in our hearts.
My Characters
I think Maya is actually really, really interesting. I didn't finish WA3 when I first picked it up, and had to chew through an LP to see the rest of the game to see if her character would ever go anywhere. Like a lot of the plot hooks in the game, she never really gets explained very thoroughly, but what's there in the last quarter of the game or so is surprisingly good! There's no way the developers really intended for it to be the basis of a lot of deep questions, but hell, if we weren't extrapolating wildly about characters based on a few scenes in the game, what's the point?
I was always bummed out that Harken never joined the party or anything in WA1. Now, we can also save her from becoming a waitress with all her memories wiped for no reason.
