Emo Champion: The Last of Her Kind

The Emo Champion Award goes to the character who most players agree provided the most emotional drama through roleplaying through the entire season. This prestigious award is accompanied not only by the trophy emblem (right), but by 5, count them 5, of the coveted green Never Gems. The honored recipient of the third ever Emo Champion Award is Una, the saddest character ever.

Bamuna of the Reikoku clan is the saddest character ever. She wins this award because she is the saddest character ever. If you need proof, read this.

She started the campaign as a lonely, slightly crazed and bloodthirsty Vorax searching for others of her kind. The first other Vorax she found became the first eyeless of the campaign. The next Vorax went crazy, starved himself and died in her arms. Then she found a flight of dozens of other Vorax only to learn that they were the last Vorax on Karia and they were bent on suicide. At the start of this season she made her break with the Last Flight, desperately hoping it wouldn't come to fruition, but they did at last immolate themselves above Omexon before turning into an Oni and a flock of eyeless in front of her.

When preparing for my interview with Una I made sure to bring four boxes of tissue.

Everyone in the group treats the subject of Una's situation with great tenderness.

"I don't really know what it would be like to be the last one..." Moses said.

Kiyoshi nodded somberly, "None of us do, but..."

"but it must suck, because she's always crying!" High-Dive interrupted.

Kiyoshi scowled, "I was going to say, but she has been incredibly courageous, fighting on like this..."

"And her tears have magical healing powers," chirped the squirrel.

"... many others would have given up..."

"But I'm glad she didn't because she gives the best belly-rubs!"

(At this point Kiyoshi chased High-Dive from the room).

Rei tried to get us back on topic, "Look, Una has experienced, in a way, what we're all facing - extinction. Una knows better than any of us the cost if the Enemy wins, which is why she keeps fighting, I think."

Everyone nodded and fell silent for a bit then.

When Una walked in she saw everyone sitting in silence and hesitated, "Why is everyone looking so glum? Did someone die?"

Awkward looks were exchanged for a second.

"Oh no! It's Kiyoshi isn't! I knew I wouldn't be able to save him!" the tears came rushing right out...

As everyone jumped to correct her mistaken assumption I thought to myself - this is why she is our Emo Champion. She is Una, the last of her kind.
