FINALLY *heavy sigh*
Cialbi got to tame a barrel of monkeys
Well, I had thought hard on what a good name for a pet with multiple faces would be; a split personality, if you will. Decided against insensitive names like Schizo, and finally found something I liked.
Thespis is an ancient Greek that came up with the concept of telling a story through actors instead of a single narrator. Thus, I figured that my monkey was a very cunning actor, with four different costumes but the same monkey behind each one.
There's the clever maniac (dominant personality):
The demented creep (eyes and face look like a skull):
The lovable dimwit (couldn't stop scratching his ass):
And the...
...now look what you've done!
So, that went well
His true personality showed once we started to get some action. The manic monkey would give off hoots, that were both crazy and goofy at once, when he attacked. Then he would fling a small brown object at them (too fast for my laggy computer to capture an image of in-flight). The problem was, I wanted to skin some Knothide Leather and Cobra Scales to help out my druid. And nobody wants shitty leather armor. What can I say; I'll just have to ask my shaman friend to wash them for me.
When I began to gather motes of shadow for my leatherworking pattern, I came across the strangest place:
The place seemed to intrigue him, appealing to his rather strange personality.
So, a decision was made
Thespis may be gone, but his memories endure. It was good knowing the filthy chap

Bad Manner may be special, but that doesn't mean it's useful. The cast time means that this doesn't function as a very good spell interrupt (unlike Scatter Shot), the duration is rather short (just a second longer than Web Wrap, which is an actual stun), and the CD seems rather excessive for such an underwhelming ability. I don't think it would hurt to improve upon one of these three things. I can imagine uses for it, but they are rather limited. The ability could be used in lieu of Scatter Shot to hold someone in place for a Freezing Trap, or in conjunction with Scatter Shot to lock out a healer in PvP (I wonder if DR would kick in, though). But, I wish I could test whether or not a monkey will attack an enemy affected by Bad Manner; since it's still functioning as a stun on live, I couldn't test this with Thespis and get useful results.
I'm afraid I forgot to do a 'swim test', to see what his swim animation is.
