An update...
I ended up installing akka's repak on another machine and got it up and going a few minnutes ago. From what I have read from the 12123327875 web posts I have read sice this happened, something got totaly borked with my mariadb. I unistalled, deleted the mariadb folders, and combed through the registry to remove any references to mysql and maria. Nothing worked. So.., short of taking a sledge hammer to it, there's not much else I know to do.
Meawhile, on my new install, I came up with an error in world on startup.

It doesn't seem to be critical, Everything seems to work and I even tested it by taking a newb character out to kill him and there was a new entry for him in character_corpses.
