Another silly idea I had to pass time. Related to characters, the thread is meant for players to write important, good and bad moments in their character's lives, both on childhood and on adulthood. Going to start off with Celes as an example.
Celes
Childhood
Good memory: Spending time watching her father train along with other paladins. Training herself once she was first able to wield a blade. As far as Celes can remind, her happiest moment during her childhood was when she first knocked out her father in combat. In major her memories of this age are good, seeing as she had a really good relationship with her father.
Bad memory: Some bullying from part of other draenei children. Not often but it caused Celes to grow a bit distant from youngsters of her own kind. Caused by the fact she was a very creepy-looking fish, nicknamed by some as "fishface" due to her very large eyes. On top of that, Celes also felt affected because during her childhood she was very androgynous, often mistaken by a boy. Another bad memory of this time is of her mother, a very strict woman that wasn't as kind and forgiving as Celes' father.
Adulthood
Good memory: Currently her most beloved memory is of her first kiss with Patrick, her current mate. Secondly it was earlier in her life, when she began to reach adulthood and her body developed more into a woman's. Another and minor event was the discovery of chocolate milk...
Bad memory: So far her worse memories from her adulthood are the loss of her mother and later father, respectivelly, the latter affecting her so badly that she spent a whole year without leaving the Exodar. The massacre of her kind by the orcs may also be seen as another bad memory. Lastly, but also worthy mention, is her failure to become a Vindicator, task which she failed not only once but twice.
Shivala
Childhood; Good: Shivala's best childhood memory is really when she was nearly an adult. 'twas basically hanging out with Malathor. Oh, and the rare moments she got to spend with Safksha, but no one likes him.
Childhood; Bad: Shivala has multiple bad memories. Her first bad memory was when she was pretty young, actually. She was with Safksha at a river. A bear somehow snuck up behind them, and when they noticed, they of course tried to run. The bear got Shivala in the shoulder, leaving a scar, but Safksha got the bear away. This scar alone has really been Shivala's full reason for her purpose in life, which is to get more power. She says that it's so she can be the "ultimate Kaldorei soldier", which is the thing her parents wanted her to be, but it's really so she never seems weak.
Adulthood; Good: Well, multiple things with Fala'thorei. Outside Shattrath, Raven Hill, Booty Bay. Just Fala. Oh, and also some with Safksha and Sagi, but again, no one likes them. Also, adopting someone. She sees that as good.
Adulthood; Bad: Troll, Fala'thorei being gone all the time (He would have her sick with worry if she could be), Urelle and Fala'thorei fighting, even though it was a wuss fight, having her lower half of her body being frozen by a mute spacegoat.

Good memories (adulthood):
-Befriending the orcs on Draenor, even learning their language

-(RP) Meeting Vylian for the first time and falling for her

-(RP) When Kapre was mugged right after the Footbomb game by Redis, Guinevere, and their cronies (my signature below came from that incident)
-(RP) When Kapre was tainted by Ashad for the first time, causing a big incident in Stormwind where people who tried to save him (Gaius and Montag) were jailed for defying Officer Gunner. In addition, at this point, Kapre woudl have recurring nightmares of the fel taint.
-(RP) When he OD'd on smoking bloodthistle and was sold to Reigen as his slave for a day (though to be honest, that was one of, if not the, most hilarious RP sessions I've ever had on this character).
Childhood
Best Memory: First time she beat the crap out of a guy who was making fun of her. Her fist connecting with his chin was the best feeling in the world to her.

Adulthood
Best Memory: Winning the Gurubashi fist-fighters tournament for the first time while she was seven months pregnant. :3 What an accomplishment.
Worst Memory: Waking up from her death to see that her child had been cut out of her and had died. She had been 'dreaming' that the baby was alive with her...and watched her be ripped from her hands as she was resurrected.
Reigen

- Al'thorai's anger to her choices.
- The assassins. I mean really, after the first ten it went from fun to annoying.
- Losing members of The Lost Minded to various things such as murder, kidnappings and suicides. Each case was a feeling of failure on her part.
- Living. Though she does not wish to die, living is a pain for her due to her drawbacks and regrets. Most of all is her current shame from the last kidnapping.
- Knowing that there are still 'lost ones' out there that she has not been able to help.
- Cheating on Mack with Krilari.

...I'm not sure what I'm laughing about more. The fact she cries about cats...or the fact that Reigen would do the same.
