RP Stuffs

I have no randomness!  Or rather I have much randomness but I must wait till I get permission to post it.  Let's just say Sat's raids were AWESOME!

Instead I thought I would do some RP stuff.  So randomly, here's my RP questionnaire, filled out for Garetia.

What's your background/backstory?
I was born shortly before the Sundering.  I have spent most of my life living in Darkshore.  I like wandering the wilderness and fishing. I love fishing.  I'm sorry, were you expecting more? Just because I'm thousands of years old doesn't mean I've lived an exciting life. It's only recently that I've taken to wandering around the world rather than wandering around Darkshore and fishing. I blame the orcs, and Alsein.  He joined the fight, and talked me into it as well.  I pray every night that he's well and happy.  I do miss him.
How do you feel about your leaders?
The archdruid is an idiot and I'm not sure he's still sane. Tyrande has my loyalty and my respect, but I disagree with her decision to resettle in Darnassus.  The new world tree is a huge mistake, and I can only hope that mistake does not come back to haunt us like so many other of our mistakes have.
As far as the other Alliance leaders go, the human king acts more like a three year old then any other human I ever met.  Why is he king?  The gnome leader seems pretty decent, and he's admitted his mistakes and is trying to fix them.  Velen is extremely admirable, but I find the draenei as a whole to be too alien to really relate to.  As far as the dwarf king goes, I just hope he's not like his brother Brann.  That man is insane.
How do you feel about the other faction?
Orcs need to die.  The tauren have chosen the wrong side, but they will hopefully realize their mistake soon.  And we made a mistake as well, by never coming to their aid.  The undead are driven by hate, and that is a dangerous dangerous thing.   They seem to hate the living almost as much as the Lich King, and that plus their newfound immortality is beyond terrifying.  The trolls, well, as long as they stick to their jungles and don't try to eat me, I say live and let live.  The Sindorei are almost as dangerous as the undead, and given their history, I am extremely hesitant to let them live.  I do pity them, as I cannot imagine being so addicted to something that you turn to demons to get your fix.  Hopefully the Queldorei will be able to come to terms with their loss and renounce arcane magic.  If they do, I will happily accept them as kin.
What's your motto?
I find the idea of a motto to be a strange one.  There is not one precept I live my life by, but many.
1. Respect Nature
2. Obey the teachings of Elune.
3. Cherish and respect those you love.
Those would be the three most important ones.

Silly RPness

Dear Garrosh Hellscream,

We have a mutual problem in these blue spacegoat people.  Darnassus was smug in its superiority as the only Alliance capital in Kalimdor, content to watch these idiot humans, dwarves, and gnomes complain about really long flight paths while they paid out the nose for the privilege of doing so.  And now, now, another city threatens our monopoly!

These arrogant drain goats must be stopped.  I understand there is some sort of long-standing enmity between them and your people, something about a massacre?  Or possibly leading your race to its doom?  I confess, I wasn't paying attention when it was explained to me.

Perhaps we could come to some arrangement?  You get rid of the drains, I'll kill all the sindorei.  Mana-addicted pansy deviants, the lots of them.

Sincerely,
Fandral Staghelm

PS- Good luck removing your current leader.  I have lots of morrowgrain, and while the strong poison concocted from it does not work on priestesses, I have had some success using it on shamans.

Tam's Syphilis Post

So your topic is tales from your levelling days that epitomise playing a hunter for you.

There are a couple of stories...

First off, Trick-or-treating. Garetia was level 22 or so, and this was before you could get mounts at that level. I got it into my head that I wanted to trick or treat the entire Eastern Kingdoms for the achievement. So I grabbed my trusty cat Llofios (since released into the wild), hit Aspect of the Cheetah, and started running. I had no idea where most things were and spent quite a bit of time alt-tabbing out to figure out where to go and how to get there. Now, aspect of the cheetah may make you run faster, but you also get dazed if you get hit, so running away becomes a bit challenging. I have these vivid memories of frantically running through Alterac, aggroing something, and leaving my pet to defend me (and die) while I continued to run away. I actually managed to get all of them but the plaguelands done without a ghost run, but getting to Light's Hope was just impossible. I ended up researching how to do a ghost run (check Jan's archives for an explanation) and while I was up there I picked up a dragonhawk.

Second, while I was leveling, and for a while afterwards, I had to be special. The dragonhawk pet was unique for a long time (as in I didn't see another Alliance with one), but by level 50ish or so, I'd decided to go for a rare spawn pet. I did my research (thank you petopia) and decided on the white wind serpent in Feralis. I wandered around for quite a while before I got him, and was insanely proud. I did eventually release him back into the wild (wtb more stable slots plz Blizz), but I do have very fond memories of wandering around looking for him.

I find it kind of amusing that my hunter experience is so wrapped up in pets, since I started a hunter thinking they would be like the LotRO hunters, who have traps and use bows, but have no pets. I was rather happy when I did finally learn I could have a pet, mostly because till that point I was dying a lot. So much, in fact, that for a short while last fall, my now much-neglected mage was my main. That's right, the mage who I find frustrating because she dies frequently was actually less death-prone than my hunter. Of course, once I got a pet (a cat from the Exodar, not an owl from Teldrassil like I had originally wanted and kinda still want), my hunter became my much-loved main. Now that I'm in the process of switching mains, I find I miss having that pet padding along besides me, ready to protect me if I go afk and ready to take the blows for me.
