- Talk about your character’s name. How is it pronounced? Does it mean something? Any nicknames?
My current main is called Mjallwarg Darkweald. He doesn’t remember anything from his life before the curse, so he ended up having to pick a name for himself. The surname is in homage to what he recognizes as his homeland, Duskwood, and the first name means Wolf of the snow and he picked it mostly because it sounded nice and because he loves the cold. It’s pronounced Mee-all-varg, but most people just call him Warg.
- Describe what they look like in detail or post a picture/reference of them. Note any distinguishing facial features.
He has dark grey fur and a black beard, and looks pretty standard for a Worgen when it comes to height and body-type, though he isn’t as “fit” as most of his kind, anymore. He has a few scars in his face, but the only really distinguishable one is one that runs across his right eye, but most of it is covered up by his eyepatch, so only the edges of it are visible.
- Describe their personality.
He is quite outgoing but can be somewhat awkward to talk to, since he is a bit forgetful and sometimes doesn’t know how to properly express himself. He also can have a bit of a temper, but he refuses to be outright rude to people even when something’s bothering him. He is very friendly and tries his best to be kind to other people, and he loves conversation and being around other people.
- How would they describe themselves?
He’d probably describe himself as a pretty standard guy, sometimes helpful and decent to be around but nothing to write home about overall. He doesn’t see himself as anything exceptional or special, and he isn’t too good at self-reflection, so that question will often stump him.
- What do they believe in? (Can be religion, political, etc.)
His most central belief is that people need each other, and that everyone deserves a friend. He thinks that collaboration is the key to peace and to success, and that neither he, nor anyone else, can truly survive alone. This is his guiding principle, for most things.
- What are they like in relationships? Are they clingy? Faithful or unfaithful? Do they jump from one relationship to the other?
He hasn’t officially been in a relationship yet, despite his age. He was close to having one multiple times, but he never quite had the courage to actually make it a relationship, which is something he now regrets. He is one to get deeply attached when he falls in love, though, and doesn’t easily move on, much less forget. He is loyal to the very end, and very much on the clingy side, but he is dependable and trustworthy to those he loves. Were he to have a relationship with someone, he’d be extremely romantic and want to make his loved one as happy as he could. That being said, he has some abandonment issues, and a deep-seated fear, almost to the point of paranoia, of losing his loved ones, a fear that has come after losing many of his loved ones to the battles in Draenor.
- What kind of things does your character like? What do they dislike?
He likes animals and wildlife of all kinds, alchemy and herbalism, talking, meeting new people and travelling. He also loves snow and mountains, and he frequently travels to Northrend for that reason. He dislikes alcohol, as he has some… problems with it, the Mag’har, mostly because they remind him of the things that happened in Draenor, and jungles, he just hates jungles.
- How do they treat their friends and family? How about strangers? Enemies? Allies?
He tries to treat everyone with kindness - he thinks everyone deserves someone willing to help them, and thus he attempts to be helpful in general and will probably do any favours he’s asked to do, within reason. That being said, he tends to go the extra mile to those closer to him. He also is a lot more open in general to those close to him, especially about his emotions, which he doesn’t tend to express very well to strangers. He also can be a bit paranoid about strangers - he is willing to help complete strangers if asked, but he will always keep an eye on them. He doesn’t treat them any differently, but he is suspicious for the first moments he meets someone until he is sure they aren’t going to try anything. His idea of kindness doesn’t apply to his enemies, though. His self control is completely lost when it comes to those he is fighting against, and it is in those moments that he shows himself to be far more bloodthirsty and out of control than people would think he is. He used the war to satisfy his bloodthirst, and he is far less in control of his inner beast than he would seem.
- What kind of people do they surround themselves with? Why?
He tries to surround himself with people from all walks of life, but he invariably only sticks around people who he are nice to him. He doesn’t like mean-spirited people. and won’t be around anyone with the tendency to be rude.
- Where was their birthplace? Where have they lived since then? Where is the place that they call home?
He doesn’t quite remember where he was born, but it is presumed he was born somewhere in Duskwood. He doesn’t have a fixed residence yet, but since he is around Stormwind frequently, he can usually be found camping in the Elwynn Forest, preferring to sleep in the forest than in the city. He’d call Raven Hill and Duskwood in general his home, though, and that is where he is most comfortable.
- Where do they go when they are angry?
He usually goes for a hunt when he’s angry, as that relieves him quite a lot. If he can’t do that, however, he will just try to remove himself from whatever situation has angered him, and self isolate.
- What are their biggest fear? Have they told this to someone? Who would they never tell this to? Why?
His biggest fear is being completely alone. He has his wolf, and his friends, and the idea of losing everyone and everything, of being alone without anyone he can rely on, terrifies him. Those close to him know this, but he avoids discussing this fear as much as he can.
- Do they have a secret? If so, what is it?
He isn’t a man with many secrets. He is pretty open about his life if asked about it, and doesn’t tend to hide anything he’s done.
- What makes them laugh out loud? What makes them angry?
It is very easy to make him laugh. His sense of humour ranges from sarcasm, lighthearted jokes and puns to dark humour. As for what gets on his nerves, well, quite a lot of things, but the one thing that pisses him off more than anything is arrogance. Being self-centered and arrogant is the one thing that seriously makes him angry.
- Have they ever been in a relationship? What were their experiences?
As previously mentioned, he hasn’t officially been in a relationship. The one time he truly fell in love, though, was an amazing experience, and he longs to feel that way for someone again. All in all, it was great while it lasted, though the untimely death of the one he loved left him quite traumatized, and he has promised himself that, should he ever fall in love again, he’d protect his loved one to the very end. He greatly values the time he spent with the man he loved, though, and it taught him a lot more about himself than he expected to ever know. An outside perspective about him lifted his spirits more than his own perspective ever could.
- Do they have any flaws? What are they?
Many. He can be short tempered and sometimes explodes on the people he is closest to. He has a problem seeing people either as all good or all bad, and can’t see in between that. He is easily blinded by rage, and will pick on people exactly where he knows it’ll hurt when he is angry, even is he doesn’t truly mean it - he has a tendency to emotionally hurt the people close to him in arguments, without really thinking about the consequences of what he’s said until it’s too late. He is impulsive and explosive, and is still struggling to learn how to control his anger so he doesn’t hurt the people he loves anymore. He’s trying his best, but you can’t always fix things as quick as you’d like.
