Hey everyone, been getting that rare itch to actually properly fill out a TRP profile and dabble with that side of the game for a bit. My question for you all is how would this concept really work? My base idea is to have the character as a risen “hero” from the Ahn’Quiraj war to be brought back into the fold to join the Zandalari and other troll tribes during the days of MOP. Do I just dismiss the whole mess that was Shadowlands? What about maintaining their body to stop decomposition? Would they be struggling to find something outside of what is essentially the new Forsaken government?
I’m not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to how ‘dark voodoo’ works in WoW but my base understanding is that they’d be risen and be bound to defend/attack or whatever their main reason of being risen is, correct? SO I would assume that my character might have to had found a way to get around that, or even possess another body once one of them is near death. Or is that a little too mary sue? Thanks!

Farraki practice mummification to preserve their bodies so decomposition isnt a problem. And generally I think ignoring the whole thing with Shadowlands is a win! Go for it.

First off, I’m not sure if you a playing an undead Zandalari, or a Forsaken who was once Zandalari. The former be more like troll model and the later as Forsaken model. So the following is more along Forsaken.
This hero would have been a devoted follower of Bwasomdie, no?
Does he have to be brought back by other followers or could it be a deal made on the precipice of death? If self made then maybe write how special a sacrifice this character had lived on behalf of the death loa. Which explains why it was worthy of Bwasomdie’s attention.
Maybe the struggle of maintenance is heavily influenced by certain quests the death loa had you do over your existence? Maybe one time you messed up and was moved into a more human type of corpse and that’s how you fell in with the Forsaken?
“Would they be struggling to find something outside of what is essentially the new Forsaken government?”
This is a tough question because you would not be a traditional Forsaken, but i would like to have had such a perspective share at a Forsaken Talks.
(Oh and if Farraki is a different trip, just replace it with everywhere i said Zandalari. )
Hi there! Troll stuff is a passion so I might be able to help.
Farraki raise drudges. Or drones. What amounts to ghouls under the command of the witch doctor that raised them.
Why?
They live in a desert. Waste nothing, not even the dead. Their body isn’t being used so might as well use it for manual labor.
It is not known if they can raise sentient undead. That seems like a lich king thing. And putting a farraki soul in a human body makes them a first gen Death Knight. Which is an interesting spin.
What trolls CAN do is true rez with blood Magic. All they need is the skull of who they want to rez. And any unoccupied body the skull finds acceptable.
It is a gurubashi thing. But all trolls have some blood magic knowledge. And that is another possible route you can take.
I gotta get back to work. But I hope this gave some ideas.
