A Discussion on the Character of Addie.

[Bennu]

This is open to all participants, those that wish to see Addie evil, as well as those that wish to see him good... it is also open to those who wish to spin him in whatever political direction they wish. In other words, this discussion is open to everyone.

The 3 week period following the 20th of February will be an important one for Addie. I will doing A LOT with him during that period.

I have been aging him in a common RP practice of 1 year a month, this also matches the UO calendar .

This would put him right at 9 years old right now. This run of events will culminate on Addies 10th birthday on which we will have a party to celebrate.

Here is the bulk of the information written on Addie so far, this does NOT include the RP by the Time Lord and in Game with Addie over the past few months.

The child Addie was born at the height of the power of Magincia, a short 4 years before the demonic invasion and the destruction of his home. His mother the healers guildmaster Genna, and his father a local politician his birth was one celebrated across the city.

As all celebrations do, his ended and life returned to a normal pace. His life was marked with two parents teaching opposing views but both with a strict mind on education and the developing of his mind. His mother wished to instill into Addie a sense of humility, something she felt was lacking in their city. Addie's father, demanded his stiff upper lip and a strong sense of pride within his only son. So things continued and as parents do, they fought over such things.

The night the walls fell and the population of Magincia was wiped from Britannia, Genna and her husband had quite a row. Addie hid his head under his pillow and cried, he hardly noticed when his hard sandstone walls began to crumble around him; nor did he notice his mother screaming for him.

For Addie, he heard nothing, he simply cried himself to sleep.

For Addie only seconds passed, he dreamed many dreams in a short time, and saw many things he did not understand... but they were only dreams. Surely, they were only dreams..

For Addie's parents their last few seconds were lived in horror. The heavy sandstone walls around them collapsed into the house crushing tables and chairs, the whole structure was coming down. But they must get Addie out, for what parent would choose to live over their own child?

Genna reached Addie's doorway quick enough to see a sight she did not understand, a void, a crack in what others of more learned sciences would call the space time continuum. When it disappeared, Addie too was gone. Tears and rubble hit the floor simultaneously and Addie's parents were crushed by both.

Addie awoke to a strange landscape, a child of only four years old he found himself alone for the first time in his life. The area around him was unrecognizable, long flat grassland and bits of rubble. For hours he wandered, finally he found a small tent and hid inside, for there were scary men about, and dragons...

Some found him later, hungry and tired with worry and doubt. He was taken to the Vesper Youth Hostel, far from his native home. Not knowing the fate of his family, or understanding his own.

The Time Lord has issued a decree of death for the Magincian child Addie saying: "The child Addie is not a part of your time line, he must be purged. The error must be corrected for the preservation of this Britannian time line."

The morning sun shown far too bright for winter, magnified and intensified by the thin clouds that had gathered just before dawn. Danica covered her head with her pillow and tried to go back to sleep, there was nothing happening, no reason to get up so early. The space between the Winter Solstice and New Years Day is always one of tired laziness and sloth, the world seems to shut down, or otherwise is in bad temper and ill humor. Not worth waking up for.

Outside a familiar voice crowed, "Defenders of Vesper triumph against the invading forces of Virtue Bane!"

Danica sat straight up in bed, the recent invasions she had heard about in conversation, how they seemed to be slowly growing in strength but so far it was nothing that the realm could not easily send into retreat. But there was something else...

The dreamy haze clouded her mind, "Vesper... Vesper... Nothing but fishing, shipping and orphans Vesper." Danica thought as she struggled to return to sleep.

"Orphans!" Danica shouted as she sat straight up in her bed. "Addie!" She again yelled aloud.

Danica raced on horseback to the moongate, wearing only a dress but with her sword and shield in hand.

Her knights had taken an interest in the boy during her slumber, surely someone had checked on him? An innkeeper and bar-mistress were no match to defend against the Bane...

When she arrived, Vesper seemed very much intact. She found a few people with their dragons, and tried to inquire but was ignored.

Her horse raced her south toward the youth hostel, and she kicked the door open only to find Hunter the Innkeeper reading Addie a book.

They both looked up at her with a start.

What a fright Danica looked, her hair undone, her dress undone in the back so it hung and seemed loose in the wrong places, half asleep and wind torn from the fast gallop from Jhelom.

Danica smiled and swung her shield onto her back.

"Glad to see you are ok Addie..." She said as she sat down to help Addie with his numbers.

The boy had grown in this quiet season, one Britannian year had passed since he had been found wandering the isle of Pride.

"Twenty Seven, Twenty Eight, Twenty Nine, Thirty!" Finished the five year old with a proud smile as he wrote the numbers in his book.

Now, I want to have a discussion on where you see Addie going, where you'd like him to go, how why, etc. I have a few ideas running but I am always open for input.

We will also need to come up with a name, as Addie is a nickname and will soon wear out.

I just wanted to start a discussion and see if anyone would participate, Im looking forward to this 3 week window of events with Addie

Of course, if you are not comfortable with posting here you can always email me: [email protected]

I haven't really put much thought recently into Addie's character or where I'd like to see it go from here, but I did a little thinking on names last night...

I know Addison was suggested yesterday... But Addie could be a nickname for pretty much any name starting with "Ad"

So a few more ideas could be: Adam, Adrian, Aden, Adonis, Adwin or Adelbert... Plus possible variations.

That's about all I have for now...

I know many of us felt we never got our chance to put the Time Lord in his place

Also Cranius of the Tehom is an ancient and would remember if these space time continiums ever had this happen in prior centuries (possible other family members of Addies came thru prior time warps and are alive) and Addie also seems to have the ability to see the future and due to the Crux guardians protecting the cave it should be safe for Addie to make a trip back there to see if he feels anything strange. that being said....

I feel its time Cranius and Addie get together at the Meteor site and they alone should see what our future brings ( now that sprigs back)

Also I checked our many towns for a site that could possibly hold the power of the meteor and believe Umbra seems to handle the dark side rather well
Just some thoughts

(Names for Addie) Addison-Squire Etc

I believe Addie should start earning a rank on the path to becoming a great warrior

He may be the answer to taking out the Time Lord!
