creating stable chaos
making patterns where there should be none
sewing order into the chaos
you spit in the face of random numbers, of chaos

This thread is just to share and reminise about your most memorable characters. Not including winners on the Honour Rolls. Who are your best and worst characters? You can rank them by score, how far they got, chronological order, whatever... You can also include characters that weren't really good or bad, but were noteworthy for other reasons.
Best
1. My first great character. Went around with a flaming sword and war hammer (both mithril and enchanted, I think). Died in UT4 to a golem with no legs and only one arm, because it got lucky and crit his groin.
2. This guy got the furthest. Went as far as GC 6, ran down to GC 7 to escape the zombie hordes, but they followed him down and mauled him x_x
3. Details are hazy, but he got to GC 4. Ambushed by orcs with axes +5 on the way back up.
4. My latest. The born-to-be-an-assassin guy I posted in the awesome gaming moments thread. You know how that went.
Worst
1. He entered UT and found a welcoming party. What exactly I don't remember. The starting room was full, however. He never got out.
2. Entered UT. No welcoming party. Yay! Door opens. Enter hedgehog. Kenny engages the enemy! Kenny is one-shot. Hero is doomed 0_0
3. Exploring UT 1. No armour whatsoever, and no good weapons. What happens? He gets punched to death by a freaking kobold (with an ommel hair cloak and shield, but still, a KOBOLD). Hilarious.
Noteworthy
1. He was doing okay, had high hopes for him. BLUE SCREEN. Couldn't even load the auto-save. Bill got him good :/
2. My personal most epic death. He was doing fabulously, even found an amulet of life saving while still in UT. While exploring UT 3, he steps in an active adamantine bear trap. While struggling all limbs are trapped. Greater and giant carnivorous plants spring up on all sides. He bites back valiantly but the 8 plants quickly devour him. The amulet of life saving kicks in! He is freed from the diabolical bear trap! However by that point a lot of his armour was broken and though he tried to get out, more plants spawned the moment he tried, and he quickly suffered a second death.

The worst deaths were all about kicking Kenny and getting eaten by him afterwards. In New Attnam.

The nearly-anticlimactic ending of my win counts for this: On my way back up with Elpuri's head (after beating him down with two Neerc se'Ulb), I discovered that I had leprosy and no way to cure it. That head is heavy, too; no way I could carry it without both legs. So I chugged all my healing potions on my way to the surface to replace lost legs. Got there, started crossing the expanse between the GC and Attnam... leg falls off. Can't move. I figure, "Well this is it... so close and yet so far away. Nothing left but to starve in the wilderness..." So I starve. And then I'm resurrected! With both legs! Thank you AOLS! Realizing what happened, I quickly equipped my backup and resumed my journey. Sure enough my legs fall off again, and have to use my second AOLS. Luck was with me and I didn't lose any more limbs between then and Petrus.
