Robert The Obscure

Picture Synopsis
http://web.ripnet.com/~rcheetham/robert_the_obscure.jpg

A Prophecies monk, Robert The Obscure was my second-ever toon, but the first one I actually did anything with. Finally completed Prophecies! I need Dunes of Despair and Dragon's Lair bonuses, and then Robert is a protector of Tyria also. Usually used as a protection monk, I've been experimenting with smiting builds.

I've now discovered the highly addictive form of crack that is 55 monking. Robert The Obscure spends a lot of time these days whacking the undead in hard mode. I think I've finally recovered the cost of my gear :/

Seen here in Shing Jea armor.

(Named after me. The name fits on many levels.)

Mary The Savage

Picture Synopsis
http://web.ripnet.com/~rcheetham/mary_the_savage.jpg

Mary The Savage is my Tyrian necromancer. Up until I managed to cap Spiteful Spirit, I used a blood build variant using Reaper's Mark and Shadow Strike/Lifebane Strike. Thanks to a couple of elite tomes, she has Spoil Victor now and I'll probably use that instead of Reaper's Mark.

Recently I've been using a curse build - Barbs and SS work really nicely with Olias set up as MM...

My current Tombs character!

Shown here in Prophecies collector armor, this toon is my wife's namesake. (Yes, she knows.)

Picture Synopsis

I always imagined that the sensible, level-headed and calm ranger Aidan had a cousin with a vicious streak in him, making him a sensible, level-headed and calm killer. Here he is.

(My second son is actually named Aidan, go figure - named after a friend, not the ranger NPC, who he pre-dates by about 6 years. My boy looks nothing like the toon, trust me.)

Shown here in exotic armor. (Frankly, I find the male version of this looks a tad disturbing on a 'sin, and I plan to change it for something else ASAP.)
