Player Character Spotlight: Maric
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2015 7:52 am
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.
