This has been my original named charecter since ancient times. I started in DAoC as a tester and proceeded to rp in Albion despite having a middie name. Then I left for other lands where I became Coeg Bloodfeather, known for tracking and hunting down enemy players in lands like Shadowbane where I helped SiN force all other guilds onto an isle keeping the rest of the game world strictly for SiN & it’s allies. From there I went onto Lineage 2, City of Heroes, City of Villians, and more lands, till one day, my guild told me we are going into the pvp lands of Azeroth. I arrived when rogues had mail armor which was quickly removed. I played rogue till release, and a bit after, a lot has changed in 21, 22 years of WoW, but I am still here.
I’m gn-not a gn-elf
I’m gn-not a gn-oblin
I’m a gn-nome, and you’ve been gnomed
I like the inclusion of the Wastewander bandits, they have a unique history and don’t get enough press
I had a character on Moonguard with a whole RP storyline, but I kept my RP pretty limited to that character.
Sadly, I’ve never considered who Meriweather might actually be. She’s just…my resto druid.
That said, I’ve actually written stories about my bank alt,
and my family loves them. We have family game nights and sometimes we read aloud to each other instead of playing games (yeah, we’re a regular Brady Bunch wholesome-fest, sometimes, but we like it). Anyway, the stories about my bank alt were a surprising favorite, and they pestered me on a regular to write more until it just became a thing.
Munira (Muh-NEAR-uh) Tomlinson (known by all of her friends and colleagues as “Munney”) is the daughter of a Human leather goods merchant and his wife. Munira was raised in Old Town from a home above her father’s shop in Stormwind City and she had a secure, loving, uneventful, and happy middle-class upbringing. Her family paid for her to receive an excellent education and she went to Northshire in early adulthood to serve out a novitiate and join the priesthood.
While her faith in The Light never wavered, it didn’t take many years for Munira to realize that she was neither cut out for a life spent in combat as a field healer, nor as a charitable healer of the poor. No, Munira turned out to be much more like her father, both in talent and disposition.
She befriended a dwarven priest near her own age while studying in Northshire, and when this friend invited Munira to spend the harvest celebration season with her family in Kharanos, her life’s trajectory changed. The first time she saw Ironforge and met some of the devoted artisans and engineers who form the backbone of the Alliance’s technological strength, she was enraptured…and her entrepreneurial mind was inspired.
She moved to Ironforge with the help of her friend’s family and a gift of money from her parents, securing a small apartment in the Mystic Ward and a chance at her dreams of wealth and greatness.
Munira attends religious services every morning in the Mystic Ward to remember where she started, and then she gets down to work. Over the years, she has formed a successful corporation of her own, sponsoring champions of Azeroth who show promise and the potential for profit. She recruits and invests in these champions, providing them gold for the best training, armor, and weapons, along with the advantage of her many networking relationships in exchange for their participation in various trades and the acquisition of valuable goods and commodities from distant lands.
Her assistant is a Gnomish man named Baldric Sparklecogs who micromanages her wardrobe and her schedule down to the last detail, going so far as to wake her in the morning and lay out her clothing with all the regimented fervor of a drill sergeant.
Her COO is a Goblin woman named Gidgett Whizzburn who works out of Gadgetzan in Kalimdor and networks all of the corporation’s Horde-side transactions with the help of her husband, a Darkspear troll named Mag’fon (their relationship is one of my favorite parts of the stuff I wrote). It was Gidgett who gave Munira the nickname, “Munney,” and the name stuck, becoming the name she is known by, both abroad and amongst her peers in the Ironforge-based world of finance.
Munira never thought she’d have time for or interest in carving out a love life for herself, but through a series of unfortunate events, she fell into a head-over-heels whirlwind of a romance with her driver, Franklin Martin. We left the couple in a state of hilarity and miscommunication, as romance stories are so often wont to do.
Munney, my bank alt, has a very colorful life with a wide network of friends, colleagues, employees, recruits, and intrigues. She also sells stuff at the auction house.
