2020 ED RP Character Profiles

[Zalaaji-emerald-dream]

Character Name: Zalaaji

Race & Class: Jungle Troll Berserker

Short description of your character’s personality and backstory: In the past, Zalaaji stood among the Darkspear in their exile, and their time joining the Horde. When Zalazane betrayed their people, this was the catalyst that led to his undivided loyalty to the Loa of Graves. Without the aid of Bwonsamdi, the Isles would have been lost. Throughout the many wars to later come, Zalaaji sought to further the will of Bwonsamdi at any turn, as did he grow ever closer to the Other Side.

Despite having been born a Darkspear, Zalaaji also does not classify himself as being of any one tribe. To him, Trolls should stand united, and so they shall when they enter Bwonsamdi’s realm. Why should it be any different in death?

That said, he is one to honour his alliances, a reason he still stands firmly loyal to the Horde despite not classifying himself as belonging to any one tribe in spirit. So long as they never make him betray his beliefs, he would be one to never so much as contemplate betraying the Horde.

Although service is what matters most to Zalaaji, he isn’t beyond enjoying himself. Those he is close with, he would gladly share a night of stories, laughs, and drinks with, even if he isn’t one to let himself do such things all the time. In his mind, so long as it isn’t overdone, there is no harm in a bit of enjoyment.

When in battle, Zalaaji could be considered all but a berserker, however. To him, he feels most at home with an axe in his hand, and his foes falling before him. In his mind, Zalaaji serves not only as a servant of death, but also as a harbinger - one who stands waiting to collect for his master.

Does your characters have IC ties to any other ED character (describe)?
His brother, Kurungu. Kuru and him served in quite a few conflicts together, and later went on to co-create the Jakaro Loa.

What are your IC goals?
Zalaaji seeks to further the will of his Loa, to serve in life and in death as a Harbinger of Bwonsamdi. Likewise, he seeks to further knowledge of the Loa proper, and teach others the way of service to the spirits. Teaching others, even outsiders, is a way he views to let him preserve their teachings - allowing for him, and others, to further serve. In the end, whilst Trolls hold the honour of being the first to serve the Loa, he isn’t even opposed to any working in service to the spirits if they honour the teachings well.

Without a doubt, my favourite memory with this guy would be having taught a Sin’dorei about the various way of worshipping the Loa, aiding her in her journey to follow Halazzi. Seeing such a scene was just fantastic, as well as was it a tipping point for Zalaaji’s character evolution; something that sparked his interest in not only teaching outsiders about the Loa but even his willingness to train those with the will to partake in such a path to better serve these ancient spirits.

[Kaligari-emerald-dream]

Character Name: Iago Kaligari, M.D.

Race & Class: Undead Field Apothecary

Short description of your character’s personality and backstory: Iago’s life as the only child of a homeless Stratholme prostitute would’ve likely been short and scared had he not been born with a genius intellect. As a child his fascination and prodigious skill with alchemy and engineering landed him a fairly lucrative apprenticeship that rescued him from begging in the streets.

As he rapidly outgrew teachers he became annoyed with his colleagues objections to his often dangerous and amoral experiments. He’d seen first hand that their concerns about justice and sanctity of life were a thin facade that applied only where convenient. For a time however he kept his experiments tame for the sake of social expediency.

This changed when he discovered the Cult of the Damned which he eagerly joined despite having zero interest in their message or goals. He used the Cult’s resources to his own end, incidentally developing Scourgetech and eventually becoming an assistant to Dr.Krastinov in Scholomance. With the rise of the Forsaken however Iago saw the writing on the wall. He delibrately infected himself, became undead and slipped into their burgeoning nation.

Quickly associating himself with RAS, he became an aid de camp to the Dark Apothecary Dr.Carnifice Bile, eventually replacing said doctor after his mysterious disappearance. Later deployed in Pandaria during the war Iago became fascinated with the Pandaren martial arts. It was precise and clinical, unlike the messy Warrior or Rogue ‘arts’ he’d debased himself with in the past. He quickly ingratiated himself to the Pandaren and was trained in their arts atop Kun Lai summit. His thorough knowledge of anatomy giving him a critical edge over his compatriots.

Cold, calculating and consummately cynical Iago Kaligari is a man for whom the end always justify the means. He fully intends to discern the nature of the universe and all who dwell within it, and will do anything to facilitate that goal. Woe betide anything he finds ‘medically fascinating’.

Does your characters have IC ties to any other ED character (describe)? Outside a former working partnership with Benedikt due to their mutual and intimate familiarity with Dr.Bile he’s none at time of writing.

What are your IC goals? To learn everything by whatever means necessary.

Having learned he did not have to report the casualties of mercenaries to his superior he decided to give them highly potent intoxicants before an encounter with an anomaly.

[Nentun-emerald-dream]

Character Name : Nentun Shadepaw

Race & Class : Mainlander Pandaren Monk

Short description of your character’s personality and backstory : Nentun is a friendly soul, whose greatest desire is to see and learn about the world and its cultures. He loves the chance to meet new people and to see what it is that makes them strong in this chaotic world.

Likewise, he finds a great fascination in history, and would always welcome the chance to learn more about the past. He also has quite the interest in learning about cuisine and brewing tied to culture; often joking about the way to learn more about a people is in their food and drink!

He was born in Binan Village of Kun-Lai Summit just about eight years before the opening of the Dark Portal. When young, he was chosen for training at the Temple of the White Tiger; to become a monk and a disciple of Xuen. When Pandaria erupted in war, the negative brought about a positive; he learnt of a world beyond the mists. As the conflict came to a close, he sought the blessing to travel, to learn of the world beyond. Seeing it as a chance to discover his own inner strength, his request was granted.

Although the wars had shown him much cruelty, he, too, saw much beauty in the land and its peoples. Even in the trying times, it has only served to let his wanderlust grow and to continue to learn more. No matter what the future may have held in store, there is always hope for those who wish to find it.

Does your characters have IC ties to any other ED character (describe) ?

It’s his greatest desire to learn more about the various different cultures and people of Azeroth, as well as to experience all the best of new types of food, ales, and teas! He loves to record different events, recipes, stories, and histories in his journal when travelling.

[Belladora-emerald-dream]

Name: Lady Belladora Dawnkeeper

Race & Class: Blood Elf Paladin

Backstory: A former Guardian of Silvermoon City, Belladora was spared from the slaughter of her people and joined her kin under the mantle of the blood elves. She served the Alliance as a Spell Breaker in the final days of the Third War, but crippling arcane addiction ultimately left her unfit for duty. Belladora returned to Quel’thalas to recover, but guilt over failing her Prince and her people soon joined her insatiable hunger for magical energy.

An opportunity for redemption came with the founding of the Blood Knights. Despite her dependence on “mana draining” to sate her addiction, Belladora was among the first candidates to be granted knighthood. She eagerly embraced her new powers and her people’s new allegiance to the Horde, whom she has served dutifully ever since.

Personality: Belladora is a decorated soldier with a storied career across several military campaigns, and as such has an overdeveloped sense of pride and confidence. She considers herself a peerless warrior, an exemplary diplomat, and a woman of fine culture, and she is quick to judge others who fail to meet her often ridiculously high standards for conduct and capability. However, while she may appear the picture of blood elven haughtiness, her arrogance is entirely without malevolence, and she despises the cruel, the injust, and the senselessly violent.

Relationships: Belladora is a member of Dawn of Azeroth, and considers the authority of Highlord Velicela Sunblade to be second only to the Warchief. She has also worked with members of The Desolate Conclave and The Ashen Vale to explore options for establishing a lasting peace across Azeroth, and has a contentious relationship with Bierta Stoneshade of the Salty Sea Doggos.

Goals: As a loyal soldier, Belladora’s primary goal is safeguarding the lands, people, and interests of the Horde. After Sylvanas’ abandonment, she has redirected her efforts toward forming a mutually beneficial co-existence with the Alliance, though she will resort to violence if met in kind or given direct orders.

Favorite Memory: Visiting the Ghostlands on the anniversary of the Scourge invasion, to honor the fallen and renew our promise of a brighter future for the blood elves.

[Claus-emerald-dream (Claus)]

Name: Claus

Occupation: Dwarven Mercenary

Backstory: A veteran of the Northrend campaign, Claus found himself homeless after loyally serving king and country. On the streets of Ironforge, he observed how ill treated fellow street urchins and gnomish refugees were.

Jaded, he decided he would never be treated this way and decided to make a living smashing faces like he did as a mountaineer in the grand Alliance. With a penchant for knocking down bullys and local warlords, Claus caught the eye of his old battle buddy Jim whom he served with until Jim’s untimely death.

The death knight promptly offered Claus a job as a heavy in their organization. Claus accepted the offer on one condition, that one night a year he be allowed to distribute gifts and food to the poor denizens of Ironforge.

[Mordracca-emerald-dream]

Character Name:
Mordracca Frostmoon

Race & Class:
Shadowmoon Darkdancer

Short description of your character’s personality and backstory:
The only child of a Shadowmoon Darkcaster who’d found refuge amongst the Frostwolves in Alterac, Mordracca’s early years were rough. While some Frostwolves were welcoming and open minded, many were not, and acted particularly cruel to the half orc children spawned from Durnholde.

Mordracca’s mother, Agrona, however had anticipated this and schooled her daughter in the art of Shadow magic from an early age. While she could never hope to overpower her full orc peers, Mordracca’s knowledge of the dark and enhanced dexterity often gave her an edge on her tormentors. Those who failed to respect her would at least come to fear her.

Tragedy struck when the Stormpike expedition invaded the valley. With her mother killed in an artillery barrage she was sent to the orphanage in Orgrimmar, where she learned how comparatively accepting the Frostwolves were. She ran away and survived on the streets as a thief, gradually learning the tricks of the trade and eventually becoming very skilled in the art of disguise - for both criminal and social purposes.

Having come of age around the time of the Blood War, Mordracca now hopes to finish her training in dark magic and dirty tactics.

Does your characters have IC ties to any other ED character (describe)?
None at time of writing. Though people who’ve threatened her have a curious habit of winding up with smoldering eye sockets; as if their brains were completely flayed by a k’thir or something else very skilled in psychic magic.

What are your IC goals?
An outcast amongst outcasts, Mordracca has been told time and again there’s no place for her in this world. No matter. She’s getting good with her daggers, shouldn’t be too difficult to carve a spot for herself.

Share a favorite RP memory with this character.
Strategic use of the pickpocket polymorph glyph.

Race and Class: Dwarf Paladin

Short Description of your characters backstory:

Callahan had a long career as a soldier of the light in the service of his local chapel of the open palm. After decades of service, he returned to his home hearth for a peaceful retirement. Upon arrival he discovered the chapel boarded up and abandoned. The local magistrate handed Callahan a wanted poster for unpaid taxes and fines, in consideration of his long career the magistrate gave him a day to flee before he alerted the sheriff. He had been fooled by a charlatan. Years of loyal service have left him penniless, homeless, and on the run from the law.

Callahan sets out once again to right his name and deliver justice. Now oath sworn to the Blackhearts, who operate outside the margins of the law, he stands to defend his new comrades with his life while trying to put the pieces of his former life back together.

Callahan is loyal to a fault. Part of this comes from seeing the best in people and being a little Naïve. He is curious and usually jovial. These days he is less willing to start fights but will always finish them if an ally needs his assistance. He occasionally needs a place to sit and rest his sore joints, and never turns down an ale. He has a distain for smooth talkers and has a penchant for brutal honesty.

He ventured south learning the fighting styles of his own Kaldorei Sentinels, primitive Furbolgs, mighty Tauren and even the savage and crafty Centaur.

This all changed when he came upon a bear who appeared drunk. After a series of friendly duels, Brojim was utterly frustrated that he could not best the jovial Pandaren

[Oleary-emerald-dream]

Character Name : Noah Billiam O’Leary

Race & Class : Worgen Privateer

Short description of your character’s personality and backstory : The son of a Gilnean dockworker, a young Noah always had a love of the sea and exploration that Greymane’s Wall spoiled. So, at 13 he joined up with Captain Longshore’s Southsea Freebooters when they came into port.

Sometime later he was apprehended by Horde mercenaries collecting bounties on the pirates when they made landfall near Ratchet. Though shortly extradited to Theramore, he spent enough time among older human captives to learn of a new enterprise called The Defias based in Westfall. Lying through his teeth he told the Theramore courts he’d been kidnapped and wished to go to Stormwind to become a squire.

Upon arrival in SW he promptly ditched his supervisor and made his way to the Defias via the name of some contacts he’d memorized. The young O’Leary’s experience at canon maintenance landed him a lofty position in the construction of Van Cleef’s vaunted Dreadnought for several years.

When agents of the Lion’s Crown assassinated Comrade Van Cleef, O’Leary found himself a new home with fellow young Defias revolutionaries in the newly founded Creed Gang. He rode with them, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor - ie; themselves - until they’d reached the Wetlands. Feeling a touch homesick O’Leary parted ways and caught a ship to Gilneas.

This was not well timed. He promptly found himself under siege by the wolf men and infected with the Worgen curse. Freed of feral madness by alchemy and Kaldorei moon juice, O’Leary was gang pressed into the resistance fighting the Forsaken.

An expert at naval warfare he aided in the destruction of two Orcish warships off the coast of Silverpine. However he was promptly captured by giant spiders and entombed in webbing. Only to be freed by a Forsaken cleric who he attacked and was mortally wounded by. As he lay dying the Cleric showed mercy and healed him. He expressed his personal exasperation at this war caused by Garrosh Hellscream and let O’Leary go.

Perspective thus gained, O’Leary deserted and made his way down to Booty Bay. Where he worked as a freelance mechanic and ‘problem solver’ for several years. Until he was recognized by an old comrade at a tavern card game, and learned of an exciting opportunity at the Tirisfal Draught Company’s newly founded Asset Security Division. Where he’s now gainfully employed and fully commited to being an upstanding citizen of the Alliance, as is TDC’s mantra for all of her employees.

A fairly short and out of shape man in human form, O’Leary’s pre-curse problems were solved with finesse, charm, and a penchant for being able to plant large amounts of black powder in places quietly. While the Worgen curse has allowed him to finally sort things out in a more direct manner, a winning smile or hastily invented sob story are still his weapons of choice.

Does your characters have IC ties to any other ED character (describe) ? Certainly none with any Forsaken. In fact how dare you even suggest that. This is slanders and the legal branch will be seeing you in court.

What are your IC goals ? To be a model TDC employee and citizen. Also alcohol and gunpowder sure are fun.

Share a favorite RP memory with this character Informing meetings of Alliance paramilitary groups of all the wonderful products TDC offers. That’s the only reason he’s there. Just being a good salesman.
