Killed some time this evening taking some screenshots of some of my favourite characters that I've actually played at some point in the last few months, in some of their outfits I like most, with the pet(s) they most commonly use.

These are ordered by level of character, and are, respectively:

Somany the elf warden, with her turtle pet and turtle-shell spear, javelin, and shield, lurking on a hill top near Minas Ithil, and a metalsmith.

Iztariani the human hunter, looking very non-hunterish in heavy armour before the gates or Erebor, also a metalsmith (yes I’m amused that both my main metalsmiths are leather classes).

Magpye the hobbit burglar, dressed like a magpie, and just as inclined to collecting shinies, in the lowest circle of Minas Tirith, and my primary tailor. She was may original main, pre-Moria and the introduction of wardens.

Miffy the human captain, my original scholar, hanging out in Ringlo Vale.

Orri the dwarf champion; he’s very much a troll, and renames his stag at intervals with different anagrams of “Thranduil”, and is currently questing in Morlad, after making a mad dash to Dol Amroth for his embued LIs. He’s also my weaponsmith.

Leafwyn the human lore-master, and my first cook; she still does most of the food supply for my ever-growing horde of characters, and has been strolling her way in fits and starts through Rohan for several years now

Knarlie the stout-axe hunter, dressed in what I think of as his biker dude outfit, and almost done with Enedwaith. He’s taken up tailoring (of which I have many).

Gnormen the hobbit warden; he wanted to be a guardian, but I don’t enjoy the class enough to play another very much, so instead he’s a warden who uses swords and cosmetically equipped heavy shields, mostly, and has been working on the Wildwood quests and missions. He’s another of my scholars, specializing in dye-making

i don't understand your new relationship. i just don't get it. maybe europe has changed you so much that you just have no opinions anymore. i changed myself for you, and you dumped me. she was a stoner in high school and you're "dating" her long distance? i just don't understand it. there is not appeal, she is not interesting, or fun, or anything like that. she is whiny and annoying and smokes too much pot and drinks to much. 

although i don't understand i wish you happiness, and i hope that you're there friday so i have a chance not to be a royal bitch like i was the last time we spoke. it's been over a year and i've grown up. but seeing you still gives me a pit in my stomach not because i miss you and want to you back but because i realize that i did actually love you, it wasn't what i had other people. it was really love. but i do regret not being able to be the one to break things off. you asked that first question, i wanted to be the one to say goodbye first but i was too in love. 

i hope you're happy, and i hope you see that i'm happy. i hope i have a chance to see you on friday and wish you that happiness and hope to see you change the world and get to say to my friends "i was the first person she ever kissed".
