I was dropped the news about Carbine Studios and WildStar being let go. 

My immediate response was to come home and hop ingame, listen to the music I’d always adored, and while I wanted to hop on down to Thayd, I can’t seem to leave Silas’ plot and her ship.  This will always be a special game for me, because it’s the one that gave a vague character I had in Guild Wars actual flesh and depth. Silas was made a whole character through WildStar and the people she met in it.  And honestly, I can’t thank you folks enough for it. I’m going to miss the world and setting sure--but more importantly I’m going to miss being able to hop into a game where I got faceglomped for simply being on ( ;) ) and for the awesome rp you all gave me. 

My thoughts and inevitable end for Silas were always going to be that she got The Eostre ready for long space travel and finally made good on her promise to Tam to see the stars and what very little was left unknown with those that she was closest to and wanted to come along. So, while it’s sad to say goodbye to this facet of her, I’m happy to have parts of her continuing in other games such as GW2, and more recently WoW (Belf Mage Privateer, anyone?) 

Because airships.

If you want to keep in touch even more outside of tumblr and the like, always feel free to poke me for discord info.  

Let’s enjoy the days we have left!!

Silas needs to fall in love, only to have the fella crush her heart (alas, his heart belongs to the stars, it isn't meant to be!). When he leaves her, she adopts a kiddie. Kid grows up believing Silas is the best... only to find out when it's a teen that they're adopted. Accuses Silas of not really loving it. Silas says, "It's because I love you so much, you're mine. Love is a choice, not a requirement. And I chose to love you."

I feel like Silas would be a horrible parent, initially, if I’m honest. 

… And likely hell if or when the kid started dating. Like. Nightmare fuel.

But I could see her growing into the role and coming to say that to them–because in a way it is. And that honestly made me wibble a tad. Thank you!

TSW: Secret

The air burned with each heave of breath as the agent bent forward, hands clutching at knees. They had been running for some time, trying to evade the creature rising up in their wake, gone from the safety of the finished part of the construction and laid bare in the open skeleton of beams. As metal moaned under the weight creeping after them, Silas let out a half-gasped curse. 

She straightened, fingers lacing at the back of her head as she looked heavenward into the night, dulled by the city lights. 

Below them, stories upon stories below, mundane life continues on in the streaks of car lights. 

When the ache in her lungs lessened to something bearable, she wet her lips and looked aside, catching sight of Penny. 

“Right then,” she clipped, her accent like fresh chips of ice. Wind pushed around them and buffeted their hair and coats, and she visibly paled, hand lashing out to grab hold onto a steel rod. 

“This may be a bad time to admit I’m rubbish with heights.”

The frame beneath their feet shuddered, and for once in her life, the Illuminati agent looked faint. “Tell anyone, and I will ruin you.”

WildStar: Promise

“I’m serious, woman! You touch even a grain of it– I will know! So don’t even think to try.”

Penny made a snap of two digits pointed firstly at her eyes, then Silas’ and back again in an “I’m watching you!” motion, lips set in a firm frown. The Judge scoffed, a hand settling over the center of her chest as though affronted by the accusation of intent. 

“Now don’t give me that sourpussin’! Think of this as a test of will!! They said you’d sleep better if you stopped chugging that brew, and I aim to make sure at least ONE of us makes sure you do what you’re supposed to. I only have to be gone for an hour. Find something else to drink for just once. Have a beer or something.”

“Oh come on, Pen. Fine! Stars alive… I promise I won’t touch the sugar. … or the special Proto-berry flavored coffee… or the creamer. … Or the cocoa powder. … Or the c–”

“SILAS.”

“I SAID I PROMISE!”

Silas

Killed the latest downtime with a sketch. I can go weeks unable to draw shit, then WildStar!Silas meanders over like ‘Got it.’

I hate my own muses sometimes.

Characters? How about (Wildstar) Silas! 2, 3, and 9!

2. Do they have any annoying quirks? If so, what are they?

Silas is a clicker. You know the sort—you give them a pen or something, and you’ll hear the occasional ‘cli-click.’ No worries, right?

Wrong. 

Because then they get stuck on something and start unconsciously clicking away as they’re mulling it all over. 

3. Name one or more of their bad habits.

Attempting to live solely on coffee is generally not a good idea. If it wasn’t for the intervention of Companion Droid Luther at times, she’d be a pile of waste on a Nexus trail. She just forgets, and never actually feels hungry, because coffee itself is an appetite suppressant. 

9. Name some of their major physical shortcomings.

Besides being short?

She’s a waif. This means she has to make up for it in a fight by being exceptionally clever and ruthless. Having a slew of Void spells to manipulate her location helps.

Her right shoulder gives her problems—more than she was actually aware would occur since being a space rat all her life never really introduced her to such things as weather. Oncoming storms and colder regions stiffen it up immensely, and make for a rather grumpy Judge. 

Silas is also a bit nearsighted. She refuses to take an actual exam. It isn’t much of a problem currently, but the squintiness is there.
