Good
First and foremost, if this is within the wrong section, may a staff member please move it accordingly? Thank you.
That aside, I know there are many long-standing characters in our lovely world of Altera, and it occurred to me minutes ago that with such time, heaps of character development must have taken place. We even have characters that have developed greatly in short periods of time! As such, I have created this thread so, if you're interested, you may talk about the stages of development that your character took to get to the way they are now. Add as little or as much detail as you wish!
My character, Syr, was started on April 8th of 2013. Come September 8th, I will have been playing him for six months, making him my longest played character on HW (though I realize this is nothing compared to some). Through this time, in my opinion, he has undergone many changes and development, and continues to do so.
So, that's basically the "main" stages of his development. As you can see, it has changed and jumped at a decent amount, personality-wise. He has learned many things within this time, and there are many smaller developments that I have left out. So, once again, how has your character developed over the time that you have played them?

- When I first began the character, he was a ten year old student of the Inquisition. Curious about the world, oblivious to all the horrors of it, interested in anything and everything. Optimistic, always wishing to help where he can, kept an open-mind and friendliness to most everyone.
- Upon being promoted to the first rank of Inquisitor, I aged the character to fourteen. In this time he had grown into an arrogant teenager, full of himself and his abilities. Was always willing to fight, and had slain Aloan in a "friendly duel." Questionable morals.
- And then, reaching High Inquisitor, he was aged once again, to eighteen. In this time he matured greatly due to the RPs I had with him, and had started to display the cold and harsh nature that he now holds. While he still trusted himself to be capable of competing with many, he was not nearly as cocky. Also began to experience "love," truly, for the first time.
- If I recall correctly, the next aging came to... twenty-one. He became rather cold to many that he met, and entered a state of depression, also due to events in RP. This resulted in him being extremely vulnerable emotionally, and unintentionally pushing the friends he had away.
- I believe the next came to twenty-three, and this is when he married his wife, Mia Sicarus, and had his first son, Aetyr. Shortly after came his daughter, Mirabelle. His life had, in his eyes, started to once again even itself out, and the family he raised had resulted in him growing much friendlier, followed by a considerable increase in happiness for a time.
- Ehm- this would be at twenty-three still, I think. The "Falling of the Inquisition" occurred. Due to being raised and growing within the Inquisition, this event truly hit him hard. It made him angrier, and once again, hostile. Former Inquisitors being hunted gave way to a strong sense of trusting little-to-nobody. He was paranoid.
- Twenty-five is where he is now. His kids have both simply... disappeared. Mia has left without word. Gelyk was, for a time, presumed dead. Syr has grown to the point of not caring much about anything, including himself. He prefers to seclude himself away from speaking with many people. While he does attempt to hold an extent of friendliness with certain people, a fair amount of it is simply an act. Despite making actual efforts to aid in the war, he truly believes this Exodus will result... not-so-greatly (mind you, it is also his first).
So, that's basically the "main" stages of his development. As you can see, it has changed and jumped at a decent amount, personality-wise. He has learned many things within this time, and there are many smaller developments that I have left out. So, once again, how has your character developed over the time that you have played them?
