[RP] Blood on the Daisies of Freemarch - From Renny Conchobairs Klog

9th Year, 1st Moon, 22nd Day:
Blood on the Daisies of Freemarch
I woke on this 22nd day of the first moon with a goal. I had spent enough time in the Black Garden training ground and have begun feeling conformable with my new form. My wounds have all healed up with the help of Moowi and Darkmist and we came up with the idea of sneaking over to Freemarch using an old pirates route. The waters we had to swim in were freezing cold and we had to do our best to avoid the stiffness that comes from the cold. We took refuge in a tower to warm up for a while and then made the final swim over to the shores of Freemarch.

Read Full Story

The first guy you killed was named Truckboattruck. That was a bit of an eye sore. Glad that we're playing on an RP server. So will you run a Renny Conchobair RP event?

Renny IS an RP event. And yeah truckboattruck deserved to die for that horrible name.

I vill kill dis mister BoatTruckBoat for ju... I vill place an arrow neatly through his thick-boat neck, and slice his unmanly truck tires... Just point me is ze right direction... Meldarion the Swift, Marksman/Ranger/Saboteur

What would be interesting would Renny have an arch nemisis. Would be pretty insane to have two blogs one where you hunt him and he hunts you.

Well Kavurn, The original badass I hunted was a well known hacker who used radar and a handfull of other hacks to give himself an edge on DAOC. I created the character to hunt the most hated person on our server. Not even his own realm liked him. In story, If He and his nemesis meet the story ends. So therefor to keep the story going it's never going to happen. Theres so much more to it you wont really understand till you read the full book I've got written out. Once I get it looking properly I plan on making the first 3 chapters available online which will give you a glimpse of what is to come. The story is an illusion of how if you hunt something so much and you dwell on it, relish in it, eventually you become the very beast you hunt and realize that what you hunt is in fact you. It is the story you will see develop through Renny's life of bloodshed. In the end he becomes that what he hates. There is no Garm, it's all Renny.

Is Garm a large, elusive white whale?

Pretty much :)

Good to see you journaling again, Fog!

:D glad to have a canvas I can paint again. War, just didnt have the ability to stalk people. There was nothing to hunt in WAR it was either flys buzzing around everywhere or nothing at all. Was rather difficult to make a story out of it.

As you seem to be well versed in the old history of the Isles, I have been meaning to ask you about the origin of Renny's first name. Reason is back in my family a few generations ago were a pair of twin brothers[one being my g grand] named Renny and Ranny and I remember that my grandmother told me when I ask she didn't know of what origin her father and uncle's first names were. Apologies in advance if there was a better place to ask this.

Renny is an Irish name. When choosing the character a name I tried to find names mentioned throughout the book of invasions or in other texts and I found renny's quite a few places. Conchobair was pretty funny. I came up with that name after searching last names of old irish families and it jumped out at me. I had no idea that it's the name of a high king in irish history. I found that out later and thought it rather funny that the Real Conchobair was thought of as a Leprechaun because he was so short (Only about 4 foot tall). In the original story he abandons his name after his family is wiped out and takes the name Fogair Ugmug aka Fugmug (Gaelic for Destroy Ugmug), Ugmug being Garm now. Ugmug was a well known hacker/cheater in wow who I built renny with the sole purpose of killing him. Well once I decided to start working this story into a physical book I changed his name to Garm which are the hounds that are guardians of Hel in Norse Mythology. Instead of Fugmug I made him simply known as Conchobair. I went through the story and tried to give each of the main characters names which apply to history of their region. I wanted to make it like the legends of old where there was enough truth in it to make people question if it were fact or fiction.

Thank you much that was very interesting. I had suspected that was the case but had never found the reference.
