Username: Ashen
IRL Name: Sarah
Age: 37
Sex: Female
Theme: I want to Kill You (By Darling Violetta)
Background: Sarah is a bitter, tired cubicle worker for a software company that spends her days doing nothing but poring over code seeking out small imperfections that inhibit programs from reaching their maximum efficiency. It is a tasking job. It is a boring job. It also is very sedentary which has led to her becoming a bit chubby. All in all, she is quite unsatisfied and will take any opportunity for an escapist fantasy that presents itself.
Writing Sample: Ashen slipped across the killing field, past the muted gray corpses that littered it and recouped some of her limited health by reaching out and touching the corpses. From afar it would seem as if offering some form of last rites but no, she was siphoning that last of their life forces as the spun away into nothing. Already the corpses out of the corner of her eye were deresolving.
This was the part she hated, the low level grind. Fighting through hordes of chipmunks, rabbits and enduring the small tutorials. How she hated all of it. Mind you, she loved gaming. More precisely she loved the politics and the factions, the role playing aspect of the game. What was the point in defeating some meaningless computer construct? Did they feel pain, or get upset? No, she would much rather kill players or be killed by them in turn. At least then something happened, there was pain and pathos. One could reach out and exert their power over another.
Packing up, peering at the pathetic loot that had been dropped by the hapless constructs she considered the poor bastard she had murdered earlier. The poor bastard was only half her level, which wasn't saying much given she'd just started herself and she used him to tank through much of this boring crap before she kissed him to thank him for his help. He didn't even notice his hit points dropping until it was far too late and now she had all of his starting money. His items, well, they were useless so she left them where they lay so that he could recover them but that was only because they had no resale value.
The other reason she had that boy to tank was that she was horrible at combat. She fumbled at using swords and took several tries simply to nock arrows. That's why she had her skeletons, to handle all that mediocrity and so she could focus more appropriately on the movement of her pieces on the grand chess board. It was also why she liked being with other, like minded, people who also liked the politics, that liked the idea of ruling the game and not just being good at killing random monsters ad nauseum.
That was when the "Dark Lord" appeared. The pompous fool yammered on but thankfully his words were short but his claims. She checked her ability to log out and found it to be true. She had no idea what that meant. She didn't believe it to be true. It was probably just some stupid glitch and that idiot took advantage to incur fear. She had to admire that. If he could take credit for the hack then he was likely going to make everyone wonder what else he could do, what else could he hack?
Then ther was the other question. If he wasn't lying. Things would be bad. She still thought it was a quick and dirty hack but what if it wasn't? What happened if someone died now? Did they respawn back at the local temples? She was going to have find that out and for that she needed a victim.
