First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:
I'm a 25 year old lady (well, 'lady' might be pushing it but I do at least have the requisite parts) and a gamer of several flavors. I enjoy WoW for RP any day of the week but I also like playing the game as long as I have friends with me. My PS2 and PS3 hold special spots in my heart for the countless hours I've spent in various games, with honorable mentions including the Jak and Daxter franchise, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and that much-maligned licensed Tron: Legacy game (don't knock it til you've run over guards in a sexy -and stolen- slick black tank). I've also dabbled in D&D and I'm starting to get into Warhammer 40k.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
I'm a rather apologetic American living in Florida at the moment. I have some long term plans to move to the Netherlands, where most of my family is from. Accordingly, my primary language is English (the American version, leading to some amusing confusion with my lovely Englishman) but I'm also learning Dutch if anyone wants to help me practice!
How did you get into Warcraft?:
My younger brother brought home Warcraft 3 once upon a time. My descent into ruin began when I stole it from him and I haven't looked back since.
How did you find us? Did anything in particular draw you to the server?:
I've spent some time around here a few years ago and remembered it fondly.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
My ideal roleplay is nothing too grandiose, nor too mundane. Cultural differences are always interesting to experiment with and one of my favorite character types is the solitary nomad, voluntarily away from civilization, who isn't always sure how to treat the city folk she meets in her trips to town.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
I vacillate between night elves and draenei for RP. Their long life spans give them an esoteric quality that I enjoy playing, and they both have well-developed histories. My favorite class would have to be the hunter, simply because of the ranger type character I enjoy playing.
What are your expectations of this server?:
I expect the same excellent community and quality of roleplay that I remember!
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
Humility! Just like in real life, characters who steal the spotlight are tiring and frustrating. I'm glad the players here know the value of sharing a scene and working together.
Lastly, tell us a story! It can be short, it can be long; but most importantly, we want to see your work in action. Go!:
A lone figure crouched on a rocky outcrop high above the surface of a shimmering bay. Merciless desert sun glanced off the surface of the intruding body of water, forcing the wanderer to narrow her silver eyes. She pulled her hood farther forward to no avail. Her sisters, had they witnessed it, would have been as stunned as she was to see this blasphemy. Tanaris, her refuge and home, dry and barren and beautiful, where water had always been a near-sacred resource, had been unforgivably violated. It was obscene.
She thought of the flood that had destroyed the great salt flats to the north, and her mind turned to Silithus, the old battleground, the land she and her kin had fled from centuries ago. Had it changed as well? She had heard rumours of a greening of the Barrens, and even new growth in Desolace, but no news of her ancestral home.
The time had come to seek answers. The elf turned her gaze from Gadgetzan, glinting like a winking light across the bay. She had not crossed the old salt flats since the floods. The thought of traversing such a great body of water was at once wondrous and sickening. What profane irony, that water should now pose a threat by its presence rather than its absence. As she made her way toward the northern shore, she grieved for the old playa and even the cracked mud of the Barrens, but she had lived long enough to know that this way the way of Azeroth. Her people should know better than most that the only constant would always be change.
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
I think that about covers it. I hope to see everyone in game again!
