As we transition from our old site to this new one, we've decided to bring along some of our favorite posts as well. Enjoy our trip down memory lane.

Name: Aughkin the Comfortable
Occupation: Warrior
Realm: Asyer

Aughkin the Comfortable like to be comfortable. Just look at the wonderfully fluffy fur cloak he wears. You think he wears it to stay warm? Pshah, he's suffering for fashion. And that long, wavy hair? He loves the way it flaps against his ears in the wind, deliciously tickling his little lobes.

I could go on and on. I mean, look at his crotch protector - the thing is snugged-up to the max, to give him that comforting "cupped" feel. And a fur-lined belt? Do I need to keep going? Okay, I will - he owns a water bed. There, I said it. It's the pinnacle of comfort, even in the mystical world of LARPing.

Name: Essh
Occupation: Woodland Elf
Realm: Asyer 

Essh is like-minded, but in a different way. I mean, sure, she cares about comfort - look at her shoes. Those things are comfy-looking, yo! But what she REALLY cares about is everyone else's comfort. For instance, although she is a seasoned warrior, she only uses blue marshmallow-tipped arrows so that way instead of being (rudely) pierced by a sharp arrow, they are lightly prodded by a delicious treat. 

And that dagger she's carrying? Made out of rock candy. 

They are a great match because Essh cares about everyone else's comfort, and all Aughkin the Comfortable cares about is his own comfort. It's a relationship built on a shaky foundation, but it works.
