Not nice to talk bad of the dead! (Feedback on Strider)

[Strider Garon]

So I wrote Strider's death. Was a hard post to make, especially for a character I have had written for well around 14 years. But it was time, i wanted to venture out and explore new muses but he was a major road block for i would always fall back to him as a safety blanket. It wasn't a easy decision to come to and don't get me wrong, i was a bit emotional when writing the post. But its done and now i am curious of how folks of Chaos thought of him?

I never really read a lot of your posts with Strider, but he was always one of the first individuals to pop into my head when I thought about the Mandalorians. So that has to account for something

Thoughts!

I just killed off my safety net too!

Very bold move. I have always liked Strider and always liked your writing. I found him to be a complex character and was rather shocked when he died. I was like whoa! However, I applaud you. Now I'm curious to see what your next character will look like and what they will accomplish.

From Mando to Mando, I think you are an inspiration for the rest of our faction. You just seem so badass and awesome. Along with [member="Vassara Raxis"] and a few others. I think you inspire people to create Mandalorians. Strider's death was necessary for you to be able to create new fresh characters.

You and a few others inspired me to join. You will forever be remembered.

Wish you luck with your other characters.

He was a pia skirt chaser

I always liked all the effort you put into him. How you consistently kept him true to your vision. He was great as a NFU. His wrinkly self will be missed.

I think he had some very interesting history, and he was a "character."
I mean he stuck out and you painted a character that left traces. He was simply put Interesting. So even though I only brushed past this character in a few threads I recall his presence in them. Good job!

It was a pleasure to fight alongisde you [member="Strider Garon"] and it was Strider himself who inspired me to create my Mandalorian. All the best with your new characters.

 

[Alleycat]

In my eyes, [member="Strider Garon"] was what I imagined a True Mandalorian to be. Ni su'suyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum, Stri'buir.

 

[Vilaz Munin]

No more bastards!

But, honestly, he is an inspiration to Mandalorians. One of a kind.

[member="Strider Garon"] was my inspiration for making this toon... I know we didn't get to thread out some things, but what interactions we had were fun. Your portrayal of him was very unique, and honestly he is one of the few toons around here that actually pulled off being a womanizer because there was sooooo much more depth to him than that.

I echo what Mesh'la said too... He is the picture of what being a True Mandalorian is...

Now... I hope you're leaving me the Avril because now that both ner buire are dead I have to have something to do with my life, and home to convince a certain blonde to help me start...

I've mentioned before that I enjoy reading your posts with Strider, even though we never threaded together. I always thought your portrayal of your character was consistently spot on for a Mandalorian. And always good reads!

 

[Zaiden Dean]

I believe you were amongst the ones to fight Zaiden a long long while ago. Before he was even a master. It was intense.

Other than that, I have only seen minor bits by you, but even these I have to acknowledge were structured well and always handled properly. No power, meta gaming, or god nodding. Good stuff.

 

[Strider Garon]

Thank you All!

 

[Joy]

I enjoyed the fact that you had the wherewithal to kill off your main. And in a memorable fashion that would help the faction story along too.

You had to know I was going to poke my head into this sooner or later, didn't you? Come on baby, you knew it was gonna happen!

You and I don't mesh out of character. Like, at all, in any way. To tell the truth, there are few people I react so strongly in such a negative fashion to either in or out of character, even in life. Typically I pride myself on keeping my temper in check, but you find every chink in it. Kinda skilled, really. I think it is in large part because we are so damned similar, i've often wondered if I should order genetic testing to see if we are related.

But beyond our personal vitriol, there is you as a writer. And that is beyond reproach in skill, dedication, ability, and more. I don't like you, you don't like me. And that's ok at the end of the day.. Because we're all adults, and we simply don't have to get along or like each other. But I am damned impressed with the run you've had as Strider, and the depth and story you gave him.

I am sad to see him go, and I refuse to read that last post. Because if I don't? Maybe he'll still be alive, out there lurking somewhere, and maybe our paths can still cross, and I can finally get in one more one-liner at your expense, or put itching powder on your cigarra, or ipecack in your drink, or just have a good old fashion all out brawl between two stubborn old Mandos.

You were one of the good ones, and influenced Ijaat in a big way believe it or not. Strider will be missed, and I will remember him well. Ijaat might even shed a manly tear. Ahh hell, who am I kidding... He'll throw you a party on Nar Shada to make [member="Popo"] blush in decadence. Well fought Hound of Keldabe. Well fought.
