Character Quotes

[Selveem]

I'd like to see some quotes that pertain to characters beliefs. I haven't actually looked for any for mine, but I think I'll create some for a few.

[Jaenoic]

I think this quote, from an anime movie called Samurai X fits Jaenoic very well:

"You were unable to save the lives of the women who took care of you. Now your inner self is laden with their memories. Your small hands can attest to the weigh of their lifeless bodies, however you will learn that their memories are heavier, and carrying them will make you stronger. This new strength will be your defense, and aid you in that which is truly important, but this can only happen if you are properly trained."

I think it fits the Ilmateri ideal nicely.

[Ursan]

Picture a weasel – and most of us can do that, for we have met that little demon of destruction, that small atom of insensate courage, that symbol of slaughter, sleeplessness, and tireless, incredible activity – picture that scrap of demoniac fury, multiply that mite some fifty times, and you have the likeness of a Wolverine.

[Glim]

I find your lack of faith.... disturbing...

[Cyprianus]

What does not kill you can only make you stranger.

[Meekir]

"I will eviscerate you in fiction!"
- Chaucer, A Knight's Tale (2001)

"You're making this all up as you go, aren't you?" "Yep."
- Doctor Who (David Tennant, 2006)

[Japcil]

The "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stranger" quote inspired the Kanye West - Stronger song to overtake my brain thx.

[Sairaven]

He was dark too. I don't mean dark-skinned. No, this was different. It was if he was always walking in a shadow. I mean every step he took toward the light, just when you thought his face was about to be revealed... it wasn't. It was as if the lights dimmed, just for him.

~Steve Buscemi, Desperado (inspired a thief in another game)

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

~Plutarch (inspiration for Quey)

[Lathander]

Selveem,

Did you intend for quotes of other, outside-the-game, sources that might be used by PCs or original quotes generated by PCs themselves?

[Selveem]

To quote God: "Hey, I just created it. Don't blame me for their evolution!"

*ducks*

I don't care whether they're in character, out of character from the owner of the character, or outside source that pertains to one's own characters.

It was actual the quote on Lathlain's signature from Miriel tha prompted my idea for this topic, if that helps.

[Moloch]

One of my personal favorites, and one that I shall never let die...

I'm Tandria Sandail, or Mystra.

Ah, good memories.

[Lathlain]

Miriel's quotes are by far the best - I could only use one for my signature, but here's another of my favourites!

Miriel OOCly chats 'Lathlain, you're the most liberal moon elf I know. Who else tolerates killing, etc?'

[Yzelle]

A couple of Yzelle's that are pertinent to her presently, from different dialogs:

Yzelle smiles 'I want to know more, about what drives him, what he would sell his soul over...' she grins wickedly 'Everyone has a price, there are just some who drive harder bargains'.

Yzelle says 'You can storm the ramparts, face the archers and their volleys, and perhaps prevail, at a cost...'
Yzelle smiles faintly 'Or, you can simply sneak into the palisades in the shadows of night, and steal their arrows. Either way, you've disarmed your foe.'

[Velius]

The king of Fighters. Man among men, like a rock, he is undefeatable and a giant compared to any man. The meaning of terror and the mennace of chaos.

(Inspiration for making Dradaki)

He kicks your butt, and then you run away, and he follows behind you and continues to kick your butt until you are dead, and then he kicks it a little more.

(Found this after I made him)

"Then an ambition would be a mere shadow of what is a dream, and if what you say is true, a dream itself is but a shadow. Is the ambitious King a mere shadow of the ones stripped of their dreams and thus their ambitions?"

*time goes by*

"If so, then you can call me by the name Dradaki, the Beggar."

A quote by Dradaki himself

[Selveem]

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

for Selveem. Thomas Jefferson reincarnated as a Fighter! Kinda makes you think, eh?

The below also reflect upon Selveem's character as well:

You've never lived until you've almost died, for those who fought for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know.

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor.
He who has mingled in the fray of duty
that the brave endure, must have made foes.
If you have none, small is the work that you have done.
You've hit no traitor on the hip.
You've dashed no cup from perjured lip.
You've never turned the wrong to right.
You've been a coward in the fight.
