Player Character Spotlight: Maric

[Rias]

Hey, it's my first Player Character Spotlight, and the guy on stage is Maric.

Maric Canavan, for those who don't know him, is a Giganti Templar. I won't reveal a whole lot more IC detail about him, but he's being spotlighted today because of two major things that stand about him to me and the other GMs:

First: He is proactive. He plays his role and makes efforts without being prompted. He acts on and toward his guild's goals without needing an NPC to tell him it's okay or that he has their support. He puts together activities and effort attempts and often communicates his plans via a concise THINK or REQUEST without outright requiring GM attention or greenlights, and then goes for it. He's gotten a lot done by just going with a reasonable idea as far as he can on his own, and then the GMs offer what support might be needed from the GM side when that might be required.

Second: He is consistent. It should be noted that Maric does plenty of activities and organizes efforts that receive no GM notice, attention, or support whatsoever. Because of this, those efforts that would require GM action essentially fail, at least for the moment. This doesn't seem to discourage him, however, and he rolls with it, moving unflappably to his next effort.

So kudos to you, Maric! You, and the many others that are proactive and consistent with characters and roleplay, make both GMing and playing CLOK a joy.

I'd kinda like to see more spotlights. Not only is it nice for the people getting noticed, but it also gives others some things to keep in mind when playing their own characters.

[ydia]

that was why I brought this post from hiding. :d I want to see this continue.

The rest of us aren't good enough, wasn't that obvious? GO BACK INTO THE SHADOWS AND COWER BEFORE A TRUE ROLEPLAYER.

/this was totally a joke before someone gets upset.

Actually, I kinda totally expected none of my characters to ever be featured. I just wanna see spotlights so I can see a bit more than your average shoutout as to what makes these people so great to RP with.

I nominate Dorn!

Considering this was a Rias initiative, and he's not really as actively involved in the project anymore, these probably won't be a regular thing. Not that I don't think y'all are all awesome roleplayers and enjoy seeing your characters play, but I'm not really any good at stuff like this.

[ydia]

Maybe he could do one a month? I don't know his schedule, so this may be a crazy suggestion.

[Fayne]

I dunno, I'd be okay with one every two or three months. I don't want it to be a thing where anyone has to spotlight someone. I'd rather them be a natural thing, with characters who are especially deserving of recognition getting these instead of, well, everyone.

The problem as i understand it isn't that Rias doesn't have the time to write these, as much as it is that he isn't around enough to see us enough to spotlight us.
Remember Rias has taken a huge step back over the last 6 months or so and we really only have him at all is because CLOK needed him.

[ydia]

I really wish he could be around more, but I understand he has life to deal with. :)
