Fury of the Twilight Clan sign-in

[Kamalia]

I go to school, come home and work on a huge essay. But then I come into the thread to find we have two new people, one of them rolling a goblin character?

TODAY IS NOW A GOOD DAY.

[Azunara]

Ha! More characters!

[Serendipity82]

Yar...I'm wondering if I should roll an antagonizt to even things out but I don't feel I could handle it >_>

[Azunara]

We're pretty good. We do have Elemental Beasts and Cultists, too.

[Momotan]

Ugh. Gonna have to sign out for the night or else I'll have no time to play WoW...

Seeyas!

[Moonlost]

New character, won't be introduced for a while yet I suspect. As always, let me know if I need to change anything.

Name: Lesari Swiftstar
Race & Class: Night elf warrior (Arms)
Physical Desc.: Of average night elf height, Lesari still stands at an imposing 6'8''. Her skin is a light indigo colour, her short cropped hair a complimentary blue. Twin lines are tattooed down her face in violet ink, framing her silver-blue eyes. She holds herself proud, her movements light and graceful like those of a predatory cat, her right hand always close to the hilt of her sword; a curved blade not dissimilar from those used by orcish blademasters. She is garbed in specially made plate armour, made from mythril and optimised to allow the warrior to move quickly and without impedment.
Brief History: Lesari was once a devoted sentinel, if a little bloodthirsty, much to the chargain of her sisters. Still, her purpose was only to protect the kaldorei people and their lands for most of her life. This changed during the Third War, when the orc invaded Ashenvale for lumber. During one of the many skirmishes the two races had, Lesari had the opportunity to observe an orcish blade master. The night elf was entranced by the fighting style, the skilful weave of the blade by an otherwise ungainly opponent. Although the orc was soon cut down, she became determined to learn the swordplay style for herself.
After the war, she left the sentinels without warning, seeking to track down an orc who was willing to teach her the swordplay she had witnessed. She eventually found one, a blinded old orc with a foul temper. She served him for many years, honing her technique even as she served his needs. As a final test, she crafted her own curved sword. Naming it “Crescent Oath”, the first thing she did with it was to kill her master with a single stroke.
Since then, the Night Elf has wandered Azeroth, studying under many masters and striking each down once she feels she has learned all she could. Currently, she serves as part of the Twilight Cultists, mostly because she feels they have the better odds in the upcoming conflict. They also allow her the chance to fully test her skills against the best the Alliance and Horde have to offer, the pay is certainly right as well.
Personality: Lesari comes off as distant and enigmatic, focused only on her martial prowess. While this is certainly true, she has been known to relax in fine company and with good spirits. During battle, her mood switches from eerily calm to frenzied bloodlust, giving her a slightly unhinged reputation among her peers. Her first love is her swordplay and she will do anything to perfect it's use.

Umbra
A great Nightsaber who serves as Lesari's mount and companion. She is an elemental beast, infused with shadow. Light does not reflect off her hide, making the great cat look like a moving mass of shadows. Only her piercing yellow eyes and sharp teeth remain observable. Umbra is a patient cat, but protective and fierce in combat.

New character to be introduced very soon.

Name: Batlek Sandfury
Race and Class: Sand Troll Shadowcaster (Mix of Destruction and Affliction Warlock)
Physical: A tall, thin troll man, typically clad in robes. His skin is yellowish brown, his tusks are black, and his eyes are bright blue, all hints at his Sandfury origins. His entire face is covered with the tattoo of a hydra's face. While it doesn't often show, the tattoo continues down his chest and arms, a hydra head snaking down each arm and the necks meeting on his chest. His back is covered with stylized snake scale tattoos.
History: Fairly unremarkable. He followed his tribe when they joined the Cult, breaking away from the rest of his tribe as he gained status in his new family. He's one of several leaders of the "Twilight Clan" sect.
Personality: Typically seen as inhuman. He has little to no sympathy, no real sense of brotherly loyalty, and doesn't react to pain much. Randomly he will start to talk in alliteration. The only person he is even slightly friendly to is his daughter, Sabra. He doesn't speak with a trollish accent anymore, now that he's spent years with the Cult.

Lazrot: A simple imp, often riding on Batlek's shoulder. He's very uptight and doesn't like joking.

((Edited to update his personality, which I changed. I do that a lot.

Name: Sheneda
Race and class: Naga preastess ((Naga are intelligent enough, especally the females, I hope you dont mind this race and class combo otherwise i'll chance it))

Physical: She has green/blueish scales, the underside of her belly is a seagreen with a tint of yellow in, her fins are coloured yellow themselves, their small unlike your usual nagas giving her a more snake-like look other than a fish one. Her eyes are coloured a bright pink

Personility: she generally tends to act like shes the smartest person in the world, she always correcting people for what they say. She spends plenty of her time studying, she'll take any chance to learn about anything, her favorite topic is about the old gods though.

History: She was born like any other Naga, though with a keen interrest in the old gods, she soon left at the right age to venture on her own, she makes an excuse that staying in one place didn't help her learn enough so she traveled alone until she meet the cult, she immedeatly joined as a recruit

Let me know if using a Naga is going a little to far, the twlights hammer is filled with all kinds of races dumb and smart in my opinion

[Lupis]

Naga in the Cult are cool. I think I've seen a couple in game actually - so all good in my eyes!

[TygerDarkstorm]

I think a naga's going a little far, but I'll leave it to the others' discretion.

[Saturo]

Personally, I feel that you'd be better of developing what you have now. No offense, but your current chars all feel a little lifeless to me. I think that you could make it better by focusing on them, developing them, instead of adding something new and flashy. Still, that's me.

Naga are in the cult, yes, but most of the time they just cooperate. Still, I think it's a bit too much.

[rubybeam]

Well I was just thinking a naga seeing how theres a dang arakkoa in the cult

*sighs* sorry my emotion problems are started to well up, I dont think I can rp at the moment without biting anyones heads off and throwing the f-bomb the occansinal time with a dump of other shitty words *headesk* AGAIN over something so simple arrgggg I hate myself sometimes

[TygerDarkstorm]

It's really nothing to get that upset over, Ruby. Lupis is the creator of this thread, not Saturo and I.

[Saturo]

Ruby, please don't take it that way. I meant it as advice. The reason I accept Jraak and not your naga is because he's a unique character. I feel that, and no offense meant here, your current ones are pretty blank. You could do a lot with them, but instead you opt out and pull in a naga. If you want to play that naga I won't stop you. Still, I stand by my original opinion.

[rubybeam]

and I know its not something to get upset over >:(, but of course with fucking little dipshit me over here, I get upset EVEN WHEN i DONT TRY!, yeap right now im thinking a bunch of retarded insults and having no control over it because it seems to take over me, I really really hate myself sometimes
just ARRGGG!

/ leaves

[Saturo]

If you want to insult me, go for it. Sometimes it helps to just yell at the top of your lungs until you calm down.

[rubybeam]

If I unsult people I feel even worse in the end and end up gretting in a long time
I cant wait to see a damned pshchiatrist and get this all solved

/rerail

[Moonlost]

If it makes any difference, Jraak isn't just an arakkoa. Sure, that's part of who he is, but I could change him to, say, an orc and not loose too much of his concept. At his core, he's a very loyal warrior who's been given a second chance to prove himself. Everything else about him, his mannerisms, quirks and ways of thinking, are just build upon that simple concept.

And I do kind of agree with Sat. There are some very interesting character ideas you have, but they're not really explored to their fullest extent. Take Kasmus. He's an undead tauren, which is pretty much the antithesis of tauren culture. He's removed from nature, indeed his presence corrupts it. Even the Grimtotem still have some small regard for the Earthmother. How does he deal with knowing that he is everything his people's religion rejects? Is this why he joined up with the cultists, to help destroy everything which he can no-longer be? Is there a reason why he remains undead as opposed to destroying himself?
The more time you take to really flesh out a character, the more memorable (and more fun ) they become.

[TygerDarkstorm]

Thank you Moon for wording that in a way I was unable to come up with in my head. I wanted to try and say something helpful about character development, but my brain drew a fat blank. Even the most basic and simple of characters can become memorable once you get them fleshed out properly and know why they do the things they say and do.
