Hello everyone. I’ve decided to come back to World of Warcraft and start fresh with a new character and one I am now intending to main for the foreseeable future. It’s quite a change of pace going from a righteous, innocent paladin to an ex-enemy that committed war crimes and burned many bridges. I’ll get to that in a moment. I am not a seasoned dwarf role player at all but I am learning and I am liking the experienced and lore of the Dark Irons. So, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in bringing our characters together. Real quick, I will give a super quick run down of my character’s past and present standing. This won’t be the full depth of his history but it will contain the main pieces.
Iudex Frampt Shattervein was born in Shadowforge City well over a century ago (still tweaking his age but I think 117 years might be enough). Growing up, he eventually became a battle mage of sorts, fending off the Black Dragonflight and fellow forces at Blackrock Mountain to gain control of the territory. Time passes and he remains at his fellow Dark Irons’ side when the idea of a true, strong leader came about. As such, he fell under the belief that the Firelord Ragnaros would lead his people into glory. Having joined the Angerforge sect of military, Frampt discovered his ability to use blood magic alongside his arcanist talent. He got his surname from his violent torture methods. The man did not remain on the battlefield, but instead became an executor for those that defied High Justice Grimstone and any other form of authority above him. His realm of command became the Ring of Law, where he would oversee punishments given to traitors and prisoners of war. His use of the arcane arts allowed him to shatter their minds and harm them mentality, while his use of blood magic granted him the power to kill a prisoner and resurrect them again and again to torture them. One such prisoner was a female Bronzebeard Dwarf by the name of [ X ]. Over time, he grew fond of the prisoner and would meet her in secret in her cell. She convinced Frampt of the cult’s twisted ways and beliefs. A fellow executioner caught wind of his actions and it was soon discovered the woman was with child. Seeing that he had become a traitor, Frampt murdered the man and hastily opened a portal to secure the woman’s safety that he had fallen in love with. After a gruesome chase and battle, Frampt was captured, tortured and set to be executed himself. The night before his set date of death, the key to his cell was found on the floor. To this day, he doesn’t know who helped him escape, but he took his change and managed to flee. Now an exile and traitor, Frampt has sought to change his ways and embrace a new source to devote his faith to, perhaps in The Light. Though he feels he cannot be redeemed, he is now chasing atonement. His heart might somewhat be in the “right place” now, but he is still a rough, stern and aggressive dwarf at times and can be extreme or brash, but he is trying his best to change. He has been chasing rumors of a dwarf that bears a resemblance to him. Before he sent his lover on her way to safety, he had given her a chain necklace, the end of it having a triangle. He owns a matching one. He isn’t sure if that woman and his child are alive, but he certainly hopes so.
If anyone is interested, I would love to have connections with each other and figure something out. Here are some relationships that I am looking for.
- His long lost daughter and her mother (his lover).
I’m not sure if her mother is still alive, but I would certainly love for him to meet his daughter some day. I suppose she would be a “half-breed”, but whether she looks like a normal dwarf or Dark Iron is entirely up to you.
- Old friends that managed to escape the Blackrock Depths.
Like Frampt, perhaps some old war veterans, medics or simple friends from the city managed to also escape. They could recognize each other some time. We can discuss how they know each other, if there is any good or bad blood and where we want the relationship to go. You could be a life long friend in the works or an enemy.
- Current platonic relationships.
These are people that Frampt has come to know and love over time. You could be a fellow traveling mage or a someone that helps him resupply. Maybe you’re drinking buddies or fellow war veterans or a friendly priest helping him find his way. Anything is fine with me. Race and gender do not matter!
An actual romantic role play partner would be great in the future. Frampt is extremely loving and loyal, but it’s a bit of a struggle to reach his heart. Hopefully some lass is patient enough with his bullheaded self.
Things to note about Frampt are that he isn’t evil or necessarily mean but he isn’t the softest or sweetest man. Imagine…a sort of “Geralt of Rivia” kind of guy. Quiet, serious, definitely has a thing for women and enjoys his alone time. He may not seem approachable and it isn’t easy getting close to him, but he would die and kill for the ones he loves and calls his friends. His loyalty is unmatched. He has been on the run for a few years now. He no longer practices blood magic. He’s a skilled telemancer (okay…once I full level up…lol) and is not much of a knowledge seeker by nature unlike most mages, unless he selfishly needs to learn something to improve himself. He will not engage in needless fights, but his temper can flare (he’s working on it!). Frampt has very blunt, dry humor but he means well. He is also very wary of Dracthyr due to his past of warring with dragons and drakes and he is a little suspicious of elves. Chances are if you’ve ever had a loved one fight at Blackrock Mountain and disappear, he’s probably been the end of their life.
If anyone is interested in making a connection or has any idea(s) or feedback since I am a new Dark Iron Dwarf role player, I would be very interested to hear. He is still rather fresh but I’m so in love with him as a character and I’m finally getting time to myself since coming back. I’m on just about every day. I’m very much a night owl unless I’ve met my three days of no sleep crash period, so you can find me in most places. Right now I’m trying to figure out the best way to level up. Apparently I can’t do world content to level sixty? I’m not sure? Unless I use Chromie and pick Cataclysm? I’m not sure what’s going on with that but I just want to have a chill experience questing to level up to further my character as I listen to podcasts. Lol. If you have a guild recommendation, I am also open to that! I might be okay with military or all Dark Iron or perhaps an odd collection of mistfits. I might even consider a holy order if I can be convinced. The man is trying to change his ways after all (he even carries a clerical chime like priests use.) Anyway sorry if this is a big ol’ mess but I got some free time this super early evening and I thought I would drop my information and see if anyone’s interested. Thanks!
