World of Warcraft

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since beta. Characters have come and gone in the five or so years the game has been around. I’ll get tired of servers, sick of role-player drama, or just sick of the game itself. Even though I quit, the cycle always seems to start itself again.

Acelynn

Currently a denizen of the server Norgannon, Acelynn has been around for a while. Her previous incarnation, known as Annia, lived since the inception of the Burning Crusade (she is a blood elf, after all) on Moon Guard. Her story is one of the most interesting backstories I’ve had in WoW.

Demonologist, at your service.

Her sisters, a younger set of twins, were trained by their parents to follow in the family footsteps. One became a mage, frost instead of fire (scandalous, I know). The other trained in the arts of the priesthood.

Acelynn, by virtue of the only proficiency she had, became an accursed warlock. Instead of reveling in the power such summonings could grant her, her grandfather (the other black sheep of the family) trained her instead to revile it. The demons were to be learned from. They were to be examined for their weaknesses for the inevitable return of the Burning Legion who had twice before tried to summon their foul master Sargeras.

Asenka

This space-goat calls Steamwheedle Cartel home. It’s my first RP sever since my migration to Norgannon, which should prove interesting.

My very own space goat!

I haven’t gotten very far on her story yet. As the Draenei have crash-landed on the world, it allows me to approach Azeroth with a sense of morbid curiosity. “That does what… and you can eat that?”

A friend has decided to come and play a space-goat with me on the server, so we may entwine our stories a bit. Beyond that, I haven’t worked much on her personality or storyline much. I’m watching the storyline of her people plan out and learning more about the Draenei as I go.

Understanding the race your playing goes a long way into making a believable and entertaining backstory. You have to know what to adhere to and what to take over your knee and break to bits.

Folpest

Along with her sister, Filpest, Folpest wreaks havoc on Steamwheedle Cartel.

Folpest is a rogue. There’s nothing quite like a short, black haircut and a long, steel dagger. Unlike her sister, Folpest enjoys slaughtering and dissecting various creatures to see where exactly their various organs are. Filpest prefers to find if they have any inherent magic ability by pumping them with as much magical energy as she can to see what they do with it.

Her story line will be interesting once she realizes that Gnomeregan cannot be reclaimed.
