The Real Me
In the real world my name is Kelly. I am a follower of The Way, a mother of four, a book lover, a total nerd, a genealogy nut, and an internet stalker sleuth.
In early 2024 I got nostalgic for Malton and logged in, but was sad to see how relatively empty the city was, and how dead the old forums were. I started using my internet sleuthing skills to track down some old players like Rrrgang to say hi. Long story short, I ended up making the Urban Dead Reunion as a place for UD players to reconnect.
Since I made my first UD character in March 2006, I've had many alts in Urban Dead. Some of them I've forgotten, but here are all of the ones I do remember.
Characters in Order of Appearance
SweetIrony
Joined: 2006-03-24 06:50:10
SweetIrony was my first account, and has a personality closest to my own. Initially she was a member of the group Oblivion Folder. They were a bit boring and trenchcoaty, and when the Lebende Tote burst into Blaxall Way PD one day, taunted OF in Zamgrh, and ate everyone's brains, SweetIrony realized there was a lot more fun to be had in Malton, left OF, and never looked back.
She became one of the first survivors in the Blackmore building during the Battle of Blackmore, and held the line with Jarper during the graveyard shift when many of the other players were asleep. When other survivor groups started to send help to us in Blackmore, I got the idea to try to get as many groups represented there as possible, and went around to the other groups' forums asking if they could send at least one representative.
After the Blackmore fell, SweetIrony joined the Quartly Study Group. She became Guest Speaker Liaison during the group's Zombie Lecture Series, inviting many of the speakers who came to give speeches in the library. When the library fell to the Mall Tour just after Xyu's lecture, SweetIrony was the last to die, and proceeded to stand up and ransack the library herself.
In the last days of the game, SweetIrony reinstated the No kill zone and Open Air policies so that survivor, PKer, and zombie patrons could all enjoy Quartly Library together and hear some last minute lectures.
Artaxerxes
Joined: 2006-03-26 08:30:48
Artaxerxes began as just a name for an account, and was never intended to be roleplayed as a character. When Padre Romero came through Dowdney Mall and preached a sermon, somehow the character of Art was born in that moment. I wrote a story for the Malton Chronicles about this. The story is, in essence, true. I made the promise to Santlerville, but Art kept it. The real name of the woman Art talks to in the story is "The Urban Dead Wiki".
About two months after the events of that story, Art went to Caiger Mall and found Padre Romero, said something about how many flares he had brought for the Extravaganza, and was immediately invited to join Malton's Angels.
Art is a poet and wrote a number of poems during his time in and out of Malton. Ever the idealist, he never took a single zombie skill. I have long since forgotten the password for Art, but it's okay. He was too pure for Malton anyway.
Cesia
Joined: 2006-03-27 02:28:18
My alt Cesia was a member of G.I.F.D.. My French was a lot better back then! I forgot the password for Cesia too, and wasn't able to play her when I came back to the game. I found a mysterious password hint I wrote for myself - "Laura's ring" - but I will probably never remember or figure out what it meant.
Avenir
Joined: 2006-03-27 03:27:53
Avenir was once the Königin der Toten/Queen of the Lebende Tote horde. She was friends with Wolfgang Puck, and for a while was a member of his group RGang.
In 2024, Avenir became a PK Killer and did chaotic evil mischief and shenanigans with a very fun and good-looking group of people. She never felt very comfortable being alive, and sometimes forgot and tried to eat people anyway.
Dr Ransom
Joined: 2006-05-08 00:27:25
Dr Ransom is my undead linguist. He has his own wiki account, so you can read more about him here.
General Zaroff
Joined: 2006-10-26 12:19:00
General Zaroff was my attempt at a PKer character back in 2006. I intended for him to only kill bounty hunters, since they would be the most dangerous game. He killed ONE (I wish I could remember who, RIP Rogues Gallery) and it gave me such a weird feeling of anxiety/adrenaline rush that I decided PKing was not for me, and never logged in to him again. (Until 2024, but sadly bounty hunters were extinct by then.)
Tinidril
Joined: 2010-07-21 00:33:45
I played UD briefly in 2010 and made a new character, Tinidril, who joined The Big Prick and was at Blackmore 4(04). I completely forgot about this until after I met 404: Barhah not found in the Reunion. They were kind enough to let Tinidril join them, and I had some of the best times I've ever had in Urban Dead with them.
When I logged in to Tinidril in 2024 she was wearing only a pendant necklace and a dark green dress. I kept her barefoot till the end, even at the Blackmore Formal Black Tie No Pants Siège Gala. Cade Bot stole Tinidril's heart (and probably put it in the barricades) and she voted for him for President. Tinidril never bought Body Building because she didn't want to leave President Cade Bot as the only 50 HP target. After her brief stint as a babah zambah in 302: Barhah found, Tinidril became a bit bitey as a human and often bit her friends and foes alike.
Dr A T Henderson
Joined: 2024-02-01 08:46:23
When I came back to the game in 2024, I made a new character based one of my own ancestors. "Dr" A T Henderson swears up and down that he studied medicine at St. Jimothy's Hospital and that he is a real medical doctor. He can heal for 5 whole HP and has also been known to sterilize the wound first by breaking a bottle of alcohol over the patient's head. A T was a member of the Burchell Arms Regulars but was often known to run out on them.
Jenny Dent
Joined: 2025-02-21 21:16:46
My poor Jenny, I hardly knew ye. I made Jenny Dent about 9 days before the shutdown of the game was announced. She was a member of the Malton Dental Association and always keeps the generator al dente.
