...is finished.

In the last post, I skipped forward to the end. There was way too much to write, and the story I had woven out of Zark Ekan was so god damn depressing I couldn't stand to actually write it, so I summarized what was bubbling about in my head.

The last post is shitty as hell, I believe its one of the worst in the entire thread, but it gets the point across. Detail is omitted, shit isn't described, but it doesn't matter. The story has been told, and thats all I really care about.

Zark is dead. I doubt I'm going to ever bring him back. That'd just be cruel, because knowing me I'd find all new ways to torment him. I'm just going to take comfort in the fact that he managed to find some measure of peace in the end.

Its kind of funny, feeling so deeply about a character I completely made up, but over the past few months Zark has become more of a friend to me than any of you fuckers (hahaha, joke, don't ban me). It was sad to me that I had to torture him so badly, but that was his story, and it couldn't be told any other way.

His was a story of the Force gone terribly, terribly wrong. Theres not always redemption. Theres not always an ending that justifies the story itself. That is life.

Most of the new people here have no idea what I'm talking about, and I strongly advise you not to find out. The entire saga of Zark Ekan is extremely depressing and not very well written. Just stick to your happy little stories of killing Jedi/Sith.

Zark Ekan is dead. It was obvious to me ever since Fallen Tears and Bullet Shells that that would be the only way he could ever find any measure of closure. Now that hes finally gone, I feel a whole lot better.

Hey, I had planned on killing Zark off in Half-Life before you ever spilled the beans to me over AIM in one of your drunken stupors.

Unless that was just another drunk post, and if thats the case then this is kind of awkward.

It takes a lot of guts to kill a long standing character. I had Tobal's death planned out several months ago, and even started the story, but it fell apart when Tacita stopped posting. I'm glad of it now, since he's becoming a bit more interesting. Not to mention active.

I must admit that my sentiments are similar to that of Demo on this topic, namely a sort of confused congradulatory feeling.

I'm not expecting congradulations. I'm not really expecting anything. I'm just informing people. If I didn't, it'd be like Dolash killing off Regrad and not telling anybody, only in my case it would have no real effect on anyone else.
