I think characters can be broken up into two simple categories.
1. The successful ones that live a long, happy RP live (relatively) and that the creators don't regret making.
2. The disappointments, characters which you made that you wish you could change, or not make at all. They can also be characters you created, but never used.
With that being said, which characters are your favorite successful creations, and which do you regret, whether it was regret making them, or regret never using them? Look back at your creations in retrospect, and decide for yourself what's good or bad.
Mine personally:
-Successful-
Tael, Tsuki, Elesia (Sollius, Kyril, Ethona, Ankaa): I got lucky on this one a little. Although in the beginning when I made them I was just focusing on making good individual characters, I somehow made a group that meshed each other perfectly in my eyes. Tael's reckless and loyal personality fit perfectly with Tsuki's quiet and kind demeaner, and Elesia's cold and indifferent personality. Since there's a bunch of versions, I'll take a look at each one separately for each person.
In Sollius, the three had the most cohesion by far, and you can't look far without seeing the Jin group close to each other. Here, Tael and Tsuki are best friends, but Elesia is what I believe makes them more realistic in a way. Elesia is charged with guarding Tael with her life, but as Sollius progresses, Elesia falls in love with her charge. Unfortunately, Tael only has eyes for Marina, Sacchin's character, so Elesia's jealously eventually boils over into a critical point at the end of Sollius. It's all like a bad Korean Drama : D This rendition of the three however, is the one I'm the most happy with. All three characters had a lot of emotional depth to them.
In Sacchin's old Kyril, the three make another appearance. Tael is the prince of Rellinis, and a vampire, and Tsuki again takes the role of his close friend. Despising and fearing the monarchy he will soon have to control, he runs away, with Tsuki assisting him. Elesia is actually the "villain" in this bout, she wants to capture and return the prince at all costs. She has less depth this time, losing her attraction to the prince, and instead gaining a reputation as the "Blue Shadow", and a famed assassin. Regardless, you root against her, despite knowing that her wishes are reasonable, princes can't just run away from home, and she knows that. Tsuki knows it himself, but simply wants his friend to remain happy despite knowing he has to face reality one day.
They make yet another appearance in Ethona, with one critical change. Tael and Tsuki don't know each other at all. Tael continues his role as the prince of Jin, with Elesia being his cold bodyguard sans the attraction for him. Tsuki takes a new role, as a leader of the human/beast hybrid coalition, the Mongrols. This Tsuki is still as kind and composed as his predecessors, but also more determined as well. He won't hesitate to act in the interest of his clan, or in the best interest of the Mongrols. This is the most radical form of Tsuki I've made, as his relationship with Tael is nonexistent, it allowed him to take a bigger role, and steal some of the spotlight Tael usually took. Elesia was cold as always, and her role in the RP was usually very consistent.
Surprisingly, the group also made a small cameo in Ankaa. Tael was the most obvious cameo, and he was seen intervening with Darien Astia, as well as challenging him and Eleris/Miriam to a battle. Tsuki was less obvious, because he didn't have a direct appearance. The Ikust ruins were important to Darien and Claire's story, but what happens when you reverse the word Ikust? Yep, you got it. Jin is depicted as an ancient civilization that fell in Ankaa, so perhaps one day a traveler stumbled across a plaque dedicated to Tsuki, but read it in reverse... that could have been a possible origin for the name of the Ikust Ruins. Elesia also makes a more direct appearance at the end of Tael's battle, where she appears after Tael has taken a critical injury. The group doesn't have much screen time here, as it's Darien's story, but I planned to have their story told through Darien. The Ancient Jin civilization is a possible "what if?" story centered around the possibility of Jin not being destroyed at the beginning of Sollius.
Darien Astia(Ankaa): Although I wasn't too proud of my accomplishments in Ankaa, Darien was a small exception. Although he was dumb as rocks at times, he was also overbearingly kind to the point of naivete, and understanding of the plight's of his friends. His interaction with Claire and Sacchin's characters was fun to watch unfold. One regret I had was not changing his abilities more to diverge from Tael. In hindsight though, his abilities were gained from Tael's bow, so I had planned to give him his own unique abilities as time progressed.
-Disapointments-
Claire Astia(Ankaa): Claire... was a success, when I first made her. I liked how her personality contrasted Darien's, and her strong-willed, no nonsense personality reminded me of Elesia (hint hint). However... she kinda turned out to be a tsundere. Yeah, whoops. My bad. Maybe if I gave her some height it wouldn't have been as obvious, but she was so painfully a loli tsundere that it hurt while I used her. If only I had changed some things... fun fact though, I had originally planned for her to die earlier in the RP when Darien found her. The house was going to be lit ablaze when he got there. She turned out to be popular though, so I kept her.
Sael Leras(Kyril): Moon-praising, cool, collected beastkin with a double sided halberd and an overprotective attitude for an elf. The premise sounded cool enough in my head, but in practice, it didn't turn out so hot. His personality, aside from his care for Valyria, turned out flat and without much definition. It didn't help that I couldn't think of much for his abilities, which even SRK couldn't do much on.
Eldridge(Sollius): I never used him :<
These are some of the top of my head. What about you? What defines success and failure? Knowing the difference makes you a better writer in the end by learning from your mistakes.

As of right now, the only ones I can actually remember are the ones from Ethona since that was when I fully took over for a while. Plus, I'm the one who came up with all of them anyways.
Oh, and Hisui...what was going to happen with Elesia and Tael in Sollius? Didn't she brainwash him to be her husband or something and forced him to impregnate her?
Successful
Retsumo Enshou and Sapphire Moonkrow. In all honesty, Retsumo's physical appearance was almost completely ripped off from Reiji of Namco X Capcom fame. But he came a pretty long way, working for Petra, getting into a fight with Taku (and losing) and also fighting Nova later on (which he also lost). My original purpose for Retsumo was to introduce someone completely new to an RP and, in my opinion, that was a success. As I remember though, he had minimal involvement in the actual plot save for being an occasional fight for those who went against Petra. His brash and joking personality was meant to compliment Sapphire's more cold, collected, and cunning one. I was also toying with the idea of having Retsumo develop some sort of attraction to her, but dropped it.
Now Sapphire...she was awesome. She failed to capture Shockwave in the beginning and deceived Nova so he could let her come along with him to find Shockwave. However, once she saw the dragoon's reaction to her betrayal she slowly became filled with regret, which began to eat away at her loyalty to Petra. Her bond with Retsumo is what helped keep her head on straight the most during this time. By the time she fought Rosen, Elesia, and Melvar at the dragoon diplomat thing, her resolve had been hardened and her loyalty fully restored. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she was defeated by the trio. Was still a damned epic fight though, IMO.
Disappointments
C. Because I can't remember anything I did with him in Ethona.

Oh, and Hisui...what was going to happen with Elesia and Tael in Sollius? Didn't she brainwash him to be her husband or something and forced him to impregnate her? XD Oh yeah, that. Elesia was actually more innocent in matters of romance then everyone gave her credit for. What I planned was, Elesia and Tael simply traversed the continent together and got close to each other without Marina on his mind, which was all Elesia really wanted. They then settled in some obscure city, where Veran would contact Marina and the rest of the group, noting that he found Tael. In the Altair arc though, the entire group was forced to momentarily become vampires until Noki cured them. Elesia unfortunately had no such thing, so she was finally succumbing to her vampirism without Tael noticing. By the time the Marina/Veran/Group arrived, Elesia was too far down in it to recognize friend from foe, so they would all have to fight her (Tael would be away doing groceries or something). After the group won (hopefully), Elesia would tell Marina the truth of why she actually kidnapped Tael, say that she was done being selfish for a lifetime, and just as Tael arrived, she'd kill herself with a Glace Key (probably as penance for her actions) and give her first real smile of the RP to Tael. ...Yeah, I think these things out. Happy ending, right : D

That would probably be the most cheerful arc in all of Sollius.
I don't know if I'm being serious or not.

Successful:
Caruso: Okay, not going to lie. Caruso wasn't that original of a character. In fact, he was a reincarnation of the first real RP character I ever made. Back in the GameFAQs days, he was a kama-wielding ninja artificially produced by a scientist of unknown origin and on a quest for redemption. There wasn't much to him, although Ethona helped me expand his story a bit. Despite being such a failure in Ethona's storyline, I respected what I did with Caruso because he was still believable as a character. He tried to take on uncharted territory and take refuge in a heavily guarded ship otherwise boarded by Nova himself. Naturally he was detained and his body was rendered to shambles, but with the power of improvisation, he scaled an island with his chin alone. Unlike the other wimpy characters in Ethona, Caruso didn't go down without a fight. He was stern and somewhat talented at what he did and he wasn't unstoppably amazing like, oh say, Drake or something. I'm pretty happy with how he continued his quest even though I never got to finish his trek to the water.
Raziel: It's so sad how a worthless clusterfuck like Azarel could have a dad whose purpose as an antagonist I actually LIKED. Raziel's storyline, once fleshed out with his relationship with Paracelsus, was actually really interesting and somewhat unique in its execution. I never got to finish his personal story that I wrote, since I was unfortunately disinterested after a while(iirc I lost interest around the same time Chaos lost interest in his story), but all of this is just riffraff after I actually used him as a character. As a villain, Raziel was awesome. He was an authoritarian true to his origin and had a powerful grip over Edge City's resources and resources. He seemingly had no qualms performing experimentation on his own biological daughter for the sake of granting himself reprieve of his own embarrassment in letting her vampire genes run amok. It took a battle with his own son and a realization of the damages he had done to step down and use his research for a greater good.
The Order of Diablos, albeit didn't get the spotlight they deserved, was a testament to the elaborate power and surfeit of control Raziel had over a good region of Kyril. Each of them had their own distinct personalities: Venom, the psycho, Erkoro, the stoic veteran, Abel, the enigmatic mute, Myra, the ice queen, Gaspar, the suave pimp, and ironically Azarel, Raziel's son and the expatriate to the organization. The Order of Diablos resurfaced into Kyril as agents who would carry out Raziel's usurpation of Kyril into a totalitarian state. Each of them was destined to carry out their mission, relive their old lives, and eventually die so Azarel could carry out his mission to prevent Paracelsus from rising into this world once again. Unfortunate we never got that far and the Order of Diablos was never more than a stock cast, but it was interesting to see a full-blown organization like that have a distinct role under Raziel's reign.
What made Raziel so satisfying in the end, in my opinion, was that he was a unique and human character. He became an eventual ally and never took that explicit of a role in the main quest outside of the Luther arc, but even after, he was the group's father figure that eventually came to serve the same role Azarel was (supposed to) engage in: redemption. But he didn't do anything ridiculous to redeem himself. He accepted his fate and changed his role in the world, reunite his family together again, and guide the characters in their journey without spearheading the cast in any way. He didn't want to serve a moral example because he thought it would be hypocritical; rather, he did what any leader should do and merely point the way.
And the beauty of it all? He died holding hands with his wife whom he hadn't seen in years, at least before his rule. He died realizing that, well, they had both sinned and put their children on the wrong path. And they rightfully did after they died. It was even more sad that I could not have revealed the full story of Raziel to the extent that I had hoped. But in the time that I used him, looking back, I was truly happy with it.
Raziel was never incarnated again. I did plan for something along those lines later on Sollius, but Sollius died too soon for it to happen. Looking back, I glad it never happened. He came very close to reappearing in the old Kyril, and hell, he did a lot of what we saw in Sollius, but to an even more gruesome extent; he sent not just Venom, but a whole army to ravage Malen. He was right then and there to command the Order of Diablos in the very first page of the thread to carry out his orders. Raziel had plans, plans that we may never find out again.
Disappointments:
Azarel: Man, oh man. Azarel is seriously notorious for being so badly done. He's such a clusterfuck of a character that he became the RP's own personal meme. When I look back at all of the decisions and the approaches I made with him, I grimace over how stupid I was to use him like that at all. For some reason I was concerned with making Azarel a "lead" character in such a sense that he would be as powerful as humanly possible without being gamebreaking and he would lead mankind to the ultimate destiny and slay Paracelsus like he was meant to. However, I led him to die early and not continue the Paracelsus arc like I intended because it was just so disgusting to see how pathetic he was. It was even more disgusting to see how pathetic I was, trying to salvage his remains so ardently and try to argue his significance to the storyline.
In reality, Azarel had none.
Azarel's history began in the original MI RP thread; he was one of the first RP characters ever made and was one of the original RP "veterans" alongside Aire, Marina, Tael, Carl, Jackson, and others. To be honest, Azarel's original iteration wasn't even THAT bad. He was a pretty run-of-the-mill scythe-wielding dark knight with a background that didn't really have too much substance behind it. Raziel, a character I actually enjoyed using(see above) was his father and was ironically an opposing archetype to Azarel despite being the "antagonist" in a sense. When Azarel first started out he blended in pretty well, and he had some sense of moral integrity; it was by Azarel's hand along with a few now-defunct RP characters that he began the conquest to slay Kon to maintain the balance of human order. That was kinda cool and had potential. Azarel had a demon dragon companion named Tiamat and got him around places. That was cool. Azarel sought to control the order of the natural world and observed that Kyril's existence was throwing off the balance in the city of Silverheim where he resided. He flew over to Kyril to investigate. That was cool.
It all went downhill from there.
Since then, I was too preoccupied with getting my ego stroked with every successive battle Azarel won against Manchin's army of criminally underused characters. Ability after ability I was focused on making Azarel into a systematic killing machine and essentially bringing him closer to his goal of surpassing his father. Little did I know what kind of shit I was investing into his power. Azarel got like four Summon Spirits, a water spell, a chameleon tongue, a Stand, three overdrives, blood control, a weretiger transformation, and so many more unholy things i won't get into detail about. Azarel's conquest of horrific power leaked into the main storyline and negatively affected so many good things that could've happened. Below is the list of atrocities in the Sollius storyline Azarel was responsible for:
-Pimp Arc(if you don't know about it, you won't ever know) -Transforming into a Fei Fong Wong ripoff and turning into his alter ego, Mp, which basically rendered Ambrosia Kon to a vegetable -Piloting Xenogears and destroying Edge City among other places in Kyril and killing numerous people because Paracelsus(then known as Wiseman at the time...don't ask) that it was EEEEEEVVILLL enough -Becoming Voyager out of basically buttfuck nowhere -Azarel 2.0...enough said -His entire blood tie with Aire, which made little to no sense and was his only significance in the entirety of Sollius; I'll be honest, Raziel and Rerrarie was kinda neat though -Almost eloping with Suzuki -Getting mindfucked by every abnormal force in existence -Transforming into his true time form and attempting to kill Bodizu along with his own party -Getting Bastille to persecute him to death(only getting acquitted cause I bitched Lost out) -Hitting on Marina for whatever reason -Fucking with Minu's emotions -Being a useless self-insert in every RP outside of Sollius
I can't even begin to talk about how many things Azarel did wrong as a character and how disappointed I am in myself for making him. Perhaps he was a trial run in making my own RP, perhaps I needed an obligatory Mary Sue to kick myself in the face with, perhaps it was resentment for quitting the old gamefaqs RPs I used to participate in. Shit, I don't even know. But when Azarel died, I felt a huge load lifted off of my back. I don't think Wiseman was that much better as a character, but man, at least he was cohesive. Azarel was chaos in its most physical form. And I don't think I could ever forgive myself for making him. It's no wonder his death was met with no climax, and his interaction with the rest of the group was met with such artificiality. He never belonged anywhere, he was meant to die a long time ago along with all of the plans I had laid out for him.
Noxtis: Noxtis is a firm example of why you should never introduce your characters without a purpose to begin with. Noxtis was literally a cool idea I had thought of on a whim and decided to introduce into Sollius, but he fell utterly flat on his face. I literally just had him fly into Edge City post-Mana disruption(aka: when it fell into the ocean) before the Elijah arc started, as an Ave arbiter of disorder(he probably should've killed Azarel then and there...), and then during the restaurant interlude to the Hell Arc, but he never did anything significant other than fight a couple of times at most. I wish I fleshed him out, he had a neat concept behind him, I just never laid out the effort to make him important to the story(or even give him a story and make him important in his own way). Oh well.

Looking back at it now, I don't think any of my creations shined as much as anyone's either because of lack of development with our RPs suddenly closing or because they sucked hard ass, but let me look back just to be sure.
Successful: Kon
I don't know why this character was the only noticeable one I had but I can see why. Some dude with a rainbow ball stealing souls only to find out he's some weird reverse midnight bliss Viola with a PMS problem, I was satisfied with his character design, but not with his outcome. Regardless of the build up I tried giving him, he just fell short at the end of the day and that built up fell right down like a shitty game of Jenga.
Disappointments: EVERYONE that I made (including the aforementioned)
Despite the aforementioned character being the most popular that I had (I hoped lol), I tried to spawn a reincarnation of it with a different persona of sorts. I ended up liking his concept too, but ironically he too fell flat on his face just like his previous incarnation when it came to build up (with that whole Ambrosia thing and all). While he developed with the other characters (which was good), it felt that the foundation I tried to give him was squeezed into parts that did not seem to fit (Noki having a heart attack in Suzuki's mansion before or after the sad story of the lost soul that got Bastille and Azarel involved in a fight somehow lol). With the end of Sollius, I felt like I failed my goal to make the character fulfilling in his own right and now Kon's goal is shot to shit in the gates of oblivion without a Sheogorath to care because Sheogorath is too busy partying hard.
Another disappointment that I fucked up on was Colt. So much potential was squandered because I rejected giving him an innovative approach. Each time he was introduced, there was some weird crossdressing disguise he was in (while it was weird, I did enjoy the hilarity). I was really excited when Cheese made his foil character Kyle and I knew the potential of this pairing was strong. They weren't overpowered kids with emo angst or god-like titans. These were dudes that had Rush Hour fever trying to solve cases while having fun doing it. They were Everyman characters, which was....such a damn good idea at that time.
Though I enjoyed Colt's involvement with the other characters (I don't give a fuck what you say. Having a relationship with a hot old grand aunt vampire is THE SHIT!), it felt as if I abandoned the potential he could have had by turning him to a vampire. While the situation may have been a unique experience for that character, it forced him to leave behind his roots and become a shadow of what he should have been. Not to mention that his motives and personality became skewered because of it.
Some of my other ideas were interesting concepts, but they too didn't feel solid enough to branch upon (because RPs ended too fast or I just didn't give a transmutation circle fuck). An example of that is Syrus. I had fun using him, but at the end he just didn't get much to stand up to characters that I feel highlight each and every RP they're in (Aire, Tael, Carl, Nova, Taku, etc.)
Even villains that I tried to make end up falling short due to lack of development or placement to show their potential. Zodiac Mages and Colt's nemesis' group "Wisdom" were prime examples of this. Either they had to squeeze in between events which seem unnecessary and chaotic considering events that were currently taking place or they were just completely forgotten (looks at random clusterfuck Tolok + Ryuji vs. Voyager Azarel and random Chiropteran dinosaur). The end result is just a waste of time for whatever built up they had and a bad taste in my mouth, but that might just be the blood clogging up my throat from biting my wrists so hard out of regret. Biting wrists are for real people with regret. None of that slitting wrists shit.
The end result on my part is absolute failure. Would I try to make this up somehow by creating some other character or give them another chance? Maybe. However, I can do say one thing. It was fun and painful. Maybe I'm in to S&M. Who knows.

That would probably be the most cheerful arc in all of Sollius. I don't know if I'm being serious or not. kon arc was sorta cheerful...minus azarel turning into god and shit and punching kon in the face, causing the spiritual balance of kyril to collapse and fall to the fucking ground oh who am i kidding...all of our arcs were ridiculously gloomy

It wasn't really the arcs that made Sollius "gloomy" as much as the fact that the main group mainly consisted of emotional teenagers like Tael and Aire.

Place holder time.
My biggest disappointments: Siphon, Julia, and Alia
A thousand times, Siphon. I don't think I have a character I so thoroughly have no idea where to go with. I avoid the obvious villain route like the, and every time he's popped up, something about him has inherently disappointed me. There's been something consistantly unenjoyable about him the last few times I used him.
Alia and Julia were the new characters I had hoped to introduce in the... second? Third?Ethona (I forget, Lost disappointcancelled more RPs than even I have). Hell, no one probably remembers them. That's because they were side characters in something I was planning out with that version of Aire (I hardly remember now).
More eventually.

DUBBU POSTU:
I should probably say what were success and failures for me while I'm here.
Success!!!
Carl. At least for the original Sollius. Carl was my first character for it and ended up becoming really good friends with Hisui's character Tael and Mayor's character Jackson. They formed a kind of trio and often backed each other up during battles. The zombie teenager originally started out very immature. He made jokes often and rarely took things seriously. But he also kept to himself most of the time as he silently grieved over his hideous physical appearance, which no one saw until he, Suzuki, Aire and Efreet (yes, I remember us having the summon spirits) were stranded in some grassy field or something. Even then, they saw his bandaged face for only a single post before Suzuki used the Form Stone (aka, one of the most broken plot devices ever) to restore him. He was already developing into a more mature and confident character at this time though due to his friendship wih Tael, Jackson, Suzuki, Aire, etc. Although he was never really close to Azarel. At all. Oh, and Carl was the first person to fight Kon. He and the soul-orb-wielding psycho battled to a standstill, which is when Azarel stepped in and managed to repel the villain. Carl was also the person to destroy the Dwarf Leader's helmet with his handguns. (Yes, I remember that too. I was so proud of myself.)
Suzuki was another success. I don't really remember exactly how she appeared in the Sollius world, but I do remember she first met up with Zephyr and used the Form Stone to resurrect Aire after she was killed by Shin Azarel (lol). This formed yet another trio with Aire and Suzuki becoming lesbian lovers...not really. They just became very good friends. Suzuki treated Zephyr like a little brother. It was also due to Suzuki's appearance in Sollius that I came up with, what is now known as, the Hell arc. Basically a story arc that went through the events of Makkura Origins in a different fashion. I still find it surprising that some people infinitely prefer Suzuki over Carl. Totally has nothing to due with the demonic princess having a harem with her three maids...right? Anyways, yeah. Suzuki was a massive success for me because she was well-liked and developed into a beter character. She started off as a lustful, sex-obsessed, violence-loving, sarcastic bitch and turned into a lustful, sex-obsessed, violence-loving woman who fought to protect her friends. She and Carl also patched up their friendship, which in turn, would have bloomed into a full out romance if it weren't for a rule we had back then. "Your RP character cannot get into a relationship with one of your other ones." Hence, Carl was given to Aire (which actually isn't too bad of a pair since they went emo together in Return to Chaos and she was the one who freed him from mind-control in the Hell arc) and Suzuki was given to Sythe...I'll admit, that last one makes little sense when I look at it now.
Unsure...
Krizno. I am unsure as to whether he was a success or failure in Sollius. Perhaps some of you may help me with that? Anyways, the lightning demon, brother of Suzuki, was my first Big Bad in an RP. He invaded Kyril in the Sollius dimension alongside his friends (yes, his two "lackeys" were his friends who he genuinely cared for) Sazuma and Zannerick. They engaged in an epic battle in...some man city in Kyril, against the big army of heroes we had. Sazuma and Zannerick kidnapped Carl and draggd him to the Underworld/Hell, while Krizno himself was killed. This death had little impact though as it merely sent the demon back to his home realm. Afterwards, Suzuki brought Aire, Azarel, Colt, Noki, etc. back to her world where she could then bring them to the demonic realm with her in order to finish off Krizno and rescue Carl.
I could totally just go through with a summary of the Hell arc right now, but I don't think you guys would want to read all of that. I will say this though: Colt wasnt allowed to go because he was deemed too weak by the Underworld's gatekeeper, which was a smart-ass gargoyle. Remember that? Anyways, Krizno was fought in two large boss battles (last one had Aire go into Bloodrage Mode) and eventually slain. He came back a few times later and he and his allies were made much less threatening. Even teaming up with the heroes during the MIVE arc.
Critical Mission Failures
Zagin and thr MIVE arc. Holy shit, this arc. This arc was so bad it killed Sollius. It was about an organic energy, a virus basically, that went around corrupting everything. It came from a demonic scientist named Zagin, who was also trying to work on a cure for it for many years. He was supposed to be a kind of anti-hero. He worked day and night to create a cure for the virus, but was plagued by the constant intervention of the heroes who didn't fully understand what was going on. He actually greatly respected the heroes but gradually began creating plans to stall them and, later, to outright kill them. It was all for the cure to end the nightmare. Of course, this all went to hell. This arc introduced Onimakkura, who appeared because the body Carl was given by Izuma back in the Hell arc was secretely infected with MIVE as an experiment. Izuma ended up being the Bid Bad in ths arc because she wanted to experiment with MIVE and use it to evolve all intelligent life. This plan fell apart when she realized how unstable MIVE was (which was after Kyril fell to the infection) and she became obsessed with purging the virus from all of existence and creating a "perfect universe". She ended up creating an enormous robot to help her with this task and, after brutally defeating Zagin in front of her friends, offered a chance for them to join her. However, they all refused due to her being completely insane and her ridiculously dangerous methods...as well as other reasons I can't remember. Sollius died during the final battle of this arc. Which means it was my fault. I hate my life.
