Rest In Peace (the thread for dead characters)

Arnelos · December 3, 2002, 02:37

This thread is designed to be a place where we can celebrate the lives of those characters who are no longer with us. If characters die of natural causes, are killed in war, murdered by other characters, or executed by the government, it is here that they can be remembered into the future (along with in the annals and the chronicles).

Below will be listed a simple list of all characters which are now deceased and what roles they performed in life.

The rest of the thread can be used by the religious leader of the tribe to perform any burrial rights that he wishes for our dead (for, as seems unique to our tribe, we have a profound respect for the dead).

To souls departed,

rest in peace

REST IN PEACE
The Collection of Dead Characters

Thug (mrmitchell), slave to Senor Spamish Mitchell, deceased in 4000 B.C.
Senor Ronni Pikesfan (Pikesfan), beg the Annals of Spain, died during the Trial of Senor Calamari, deceased in 3999 B.C.

KEY: Character (Poster), vocation, contributions, etc. (government offices underlined), approx. year of death

History Guy · December 3, 2002, 23:01

Senor Arnelos, here are some names...

Gastronome Neecap I, 4000BC, a faithful servant of Senor Hernan de History Guy Calamari. Died of cacti poisoning.

Buffalo Chip, 4000BC, cattle baron. Died of falling into cacti.

Sir, it appears as if Thug is alive, but was in hiding. Thus, he, as alive, no longer qualifies for the list, unless the government would prefer he remains dead so as not to go around messing things up like this, in which case they should either continue assuming his death, or...

Hernan de History Guy Calamari

Señor Ronní Pikesfan, (Pikesfan), began the Annals of Spain, died 3999 BC in the sensational Trial of the Complaint Against Señor Calamari.

[OOC There, that way the number remains the same and the slaves at the Bureau of Numbers won’t have to use the horrendously difficult art of Subtraction.

The Slave Master's assistant was found dead this morning at the public works office. The slave woman who does the cleaning found him in the same table he used to work every day. He lefts three wives and several dozens of children.

The Slave Master feels really sad about his death, specially because he was working in the concepts of a project to do the first irrigation. From this place he wants to state that the acusations against his assistant about being an spy are all false, wathever the word "spy" means. He was a good man, and in his memory the family Fernandez will take his daughters under its protection and grant his sons a position among the free workers so they can maintain themselves by having an honorable job working side-by-side with the slaves.

Guys... to prevent this thread from eventually growing to simply OBSCENE lengths, I would request that we not simply create characters for the mere purpose of killing them off.... Thug made it on the list (assuming he's dead...) because his supposed death spurred a court case. Unless a non-player-character has done something genuinely important or would be remembered because he played some important role, we should keep the RIP to dead PLAYER-characters (so it doesn't get obscenely long...).

Just my thoughts on that...

History Guy · December 4, 2002, 18:58

Righty-O. But, Thug is alive!! He is currently at the Old Bailey at this minute at the trial! If this is ignored, valuable evidence is also ignored, and a serious miscarriage of justice may be commited due to neglect of the evidence, and this would be a truly terrible thing for civilization, for it would mean that the world's first trial was a white-wash!

Nuclear Winter · December 8, 2002, 12:33

Henrique Winterius was found dead nearby thespirits hill,with a large boulder on his back, his family suspects intentional murder. He was 19 years old and was the middle son of Nuclearis Winterius the first. He was a kind soul, and he was interested in finding the other nations everybody talks about to study their barbarian like manners...
May the spirits guide him up high!

History Guy · December 8, 2002, 15:01

Intentional murder?! What?! Nooo! Where there any clues as to who might have done such a terrible deed?!

Nuclear Winter · December 13, 2002, 07:13

We from the Nuclearis family report the passing of Señor Nuclearis Winterius the I, today in the morning, after a strong pain in the chest... may the spirits guide him...

The newly named Dejon Family reports the demise of the Chief Warrior, Señor Dejon. Full details here .

History Guy · December 13, 2002, 17:43

My father, Hernan de History Guy Calamari the Elder, a hero of Spanish loyalty, died this day most needlessly and tragically of a broken heart. He will be buried with the full honors of a politician and powerful leader in accordance with Spanish tradition. The High Priest will preside at the funeral, and there will be a long funeral march to his tomb on the Hill of Peace. There is expected to be a large crowd. All heads of state will be present, as well as all tribal leaders.

Nuclear Winter · December 16, 2002, 22:27

I grieve for your father... and also grieve for senor dejon...
Sad times are those... and also, I must ask for sorry for those days out,,, i had to wander to get some peace of mind,,,,

Togas · December 16, 2002, 23:51

Senor Togas the First, our first Great Despot, died of old age after a long and fruitful life in the service of Spain. He was responsible for creating the first government and true order in the tribe, establishing Madrid, furthering Spanish custom and tradition, as well as creating new Traditions for the people of Spain. He sent forth two expeditions to discover the lands around Spain and oversaw the first roads and permanent farmlands in our history.

A wise and benevolent leader, he is remembered by his large family with many sons. The oldest of his sons, Enero Togas, ruled for a time in his old age, and then for a short time after his death. Enero gave the seat of power to his oldest and greatest son, Decedro Togas.

History Guy · December 17, 2002, 16:44

This is sad news indeed. I cannot bare to comment further on this tragic matter. It was expected, yes, but not hoped for by anyone.

astrologix · December 18, 2002, 12:12

I am very sad to announce the death of my grandfather.... Señor Astronicus.

The spirits took his soul yesterday, while he placidly was sleeping in his rocking-chair.

Before he left us, he did propose to me to continue his great projects : A palace for our Great Despot and a Lighthouse for our future sailing ships. He told me about others improvements for our cities, but I'm not able to talk about it before we proceed to his burial.

I beg the High Priest to celebrate as usual

Martin Astronicus III

jdjdjd · December 18, 2002, 13:30

This is to report the untimely death of jdjdjd, a.k.a, jdjdjd jdjdjd I. He served as Ambassador to Lux Invicta.

Not too long after being aquitted of heresy, jdjdjd was struck down by a lightening bolt, some believe thrown by the god Zeus, that the Señor was on trial for believing in. Of course, this appears to be a coincidence. He is survived by his four sons, Pinto, Niño, jdjdjd, and Francisco Pizarro (named in honor of His High Holiness Francisco Pizarro de Tacitus, who did aquit jdjdjd of charges of heresy after jdjdjd did repent).

History Guy · December 18, 2002, 15:54

Or, as has also been suggested, and is more probable, Senor Jdjdjd was struck by a lightning bolt hurled by the spirits because Jdjdjd was at one time a fallen heretic, and could perhaps lapse back into being one, thus making it necessary for the spirits to save his soul by striking him down as they did now. It is odd, though, how throughout our history many liers and heretics were taken down by this manner.

I beg the High Priest to celebrate as usual

And so we shall. I shall make arrangments for the funeral later.

OOC: I'm posting from school, so I have only limited time available.

He is remembered by his son, Carlos Ninot

We, the sons of Iwana Eta Tamali, wish to express our deepest loss for our Father. He has lives a long and hard life, but got hte greatest enjoynent from the entertainment of others. He will be sorely missed.

As he had died, just as he was stating who in our family would be traveling to the next group of Cities, we will follow his wishes and desires to the letter.

Please join with us for one last preformance of the full troop, before we go on our separate paths, in honor of my father and his ideals.

With pain in our hearts uncle Dunghal Cian, Laídech Cian and Aidun Cian hereby inform all Spanish of the death of our father Aidun Cian the Older. He has lived a good life here in Madrid, but finally got very ill. After a long and heavy sickness he has died. His last words were: "Don't kill for peace. Peace is to prevent killing."
We shall remember our father as a good, honest father who loved his children and liked to help others in need.

Let us pray for his sole to find a place to rest.

It is my sad duty to anounce that, after a long life spent serving Iberia, High Priest Francisco Pizarro de Tacticus is dead. His son, Marcos Navarro de Tacticus, has been ordained as his successor.

Aidun · January 16, 2003, 11:53

Marcos Navarro de Tacticus, you have my sympathy.

Pedro "Peligroso" de Plãgíates died from Malaria early this year, four months after his expedition through the jungle.
He was almost eaten by an Anaconda, but he escaped by placing a stick between the huge jaws. Little did he know that a small insect would cause his death.

His brother, Sanchez "El Niño" de Plãgíates, mourns his loss...
The Explorers Guild will perform the service to their founding father.

Aidun · January 26, 2003, 18:29

At a respectable high age, Aidun Cian the Older has died. He has been jewelry and dyes baron all his life and was always willing to assist our most honoured leader Decedro Togas and his advisors in the difficult job they have. He liked also the foreign politics. As traveling merchant he oftenly carried messages to the foreign ministers and ambassadors of the other nations.

We mourn his death.

May the graceful Luna el Salvador have mercy on his sole. May our brother, father and grandfather sit at the right hand of our allmighty god, beside all our ancestors.
Praise the allmighty Luna el Salvador, our father in heaven.

Aidun Cian, First Priest of Luna el Salvador.

I had not received the news of your father's death, young Marcos. As Assistant High Priest, I have the duty to pour the oil over your head in the circumstances. It greatly grieves me to hear of the death of my good friend, but I am also filled with joy, for great is his reward. Rejoice, Great High Priest, for thy father rests with the gods now! He is the greatest of spirits in the heavens now, and we mortals must look upon him as Spain's most holy. It would be wise to set up devotions to him, for he is our greatest intercessor to the gods.

Hernan de History Guy Calamari the Younger
Assistant High Priest to His Holiness

Aidun · January 26, 2003, 20:20

How evil this news, Sanchez de Plãgíates.

I shall pray for his sole. May the graceful God Luna el Salvador have mercy on his sole. May Pedro de Plãgíates sit at the right hand of our allmighty god, beside all our ancestors.
Praise the allmighty God Luna el Salvador, our father in heaven.

Aidun Cian the Younger

First Priest of the allmighty God, Luna el Salvador.

GeneralTacticus · January 27, 2003, 08:25

Senor Hernan the younger: I am indeed aware of what you have just told me, but I am glad that you know too. And I would be happy for you to perform the rituals necessary for me to be fully inducted as High Priest; my father gave me his blessing just before he died, but he of course could not perform the proper rituals, as by the end of his life he could hardly walk.
