I’m just curious with Vulpera and mechagnomes coming next week, what are some of the back stories you have come up with.
Sikai here was almost killed by one of those alliance purge squads, They caught him on the beach and when he ran into the water they trapped him and tried to boil him alive. In his cries for help an enraged water elemental answered and saved him. From that point he traveled with the horde forces in voldun, observing and learning from an Orc shaman. That’s all I have for now but I’m working through it
Now; I’m torn on the class I’m playing; but my idea is this.
Vino
Race: Vulpera
Gender: Male
Class: Warlock OR Death Knight
Vino had his nose for trouble. All Vulpera had that sense of sneaking about in areas they didn’t belong. Who would’ve thought he one day found himself sneaking through a thief’s tunnel into Dazar’alor’s Treasure Chamber? The crevice was small but his small frame was lithe to slip past the cracks the former thief failed to achieve.
Treasures of all kinds were in The empire’s trove. Seeing the Gold Guardian, Opulence patrol the Horde proved difficult to avoid. If anything were to be scavenged; he’d take the first thing he could find. An embezzled Totem head. Laden with rubies and emeralds. It would fetch a price that could feed him for years, maybe even two lifetimes even!
Vino didn’t account that what he grasped was a relic of former kings. A hexed gift given to a former king; A’akul. One of the many remedies sought to aid him during his dark reign. “By blood he reigned, by blood he died.” – The gift was blessed with dark powers no longer widely practiced by the Zandalari Trolls. Mustering forth creatures unseen by Vino in all his years.
How quickly he found use and a strange power by holding this relic for so long. It gave him a strong sense to detect magic. To weave dark energies, and even form destructive fire from his fingers. But… he didn’t have malevolent intent; he was a scavanger. The vulpera master survival… and with it he’d find new tool to survive the harsh deserts.
This knack for magical detection brought him as something as a Snake Oil merchant. Any sort of magical essence seemed so valuable. Something worth trading for. This trinket he carried brought great fortune; unwittingly knowing he’s been passing off broken, decrepit or even cursed items off to kin and exiles alike across Vol’dun.
May Vino learn of his folly before people discover his mistake… or is harmed by it.
Race: Mechagnome
Name: Diaperboi
Class: Pyromancer
Mission: Locate and terminate all furries.
Backstory: Lots of action and steamy romance. I’ll probably right a novel later on. Think of him like James Bond but much cuter.
I am tentatively going to make my mechagnome a smol fire mage, with IC that they are tinkerer class and the fire is from explosives and turrets. Going to load her up with lots of engineering gizmos to make this more realistic, haha.
I like playing average characters without massive epic powers/backstory, so she’s going to be a member of the resistance who had been working with them for a while before we all showed up. The introduction of goblin tech was the BEST DAY EVER for her and that’s when her true firemagey-ness really took off. So she’s out to discover what technology the rest of azeroth has to offer and will get rep with the goblins and hang out in their cities most of the time.
I also snatched up the name Blingtron (with some accents) the second mechagnomes were announced, so I can RP as a blingtron and hand people presents LMAO
Bilge Rats - working for the Irontide Raiders? I don’t think so!
Pelia split from her trusty crew of fellow greasy Bilge Rats the moment Cap’ Eudora took that sleazy deal. Who wanted to work for Sweete and his thugs anyway.
With a war on the back-burner Pelia was sure she’d find boat loads of wealthy pyromaniacs to be just burnin’ their britches for a chance to get their paws on some of her perfected Fireflask brew - conflagration guaranteed!
Turns out tryin’ to go straight after a life of piracy wasn’t the stroll in the stands she was hoping for. For tryin’ to give her mates the heave-ho they gave her a good ol’ Bilge Rat patented tossed-in-a-barrel-and-rolled-out-to-sea farewell. Jerks.
Gettin’ fished up by a Horde ship didn’t make for a relaxin’ afternoon, but lucky for this Vulpera her discerning rescuers saw the value of keepin’ around someone pretty good at brewing potions and eager to test the flammability of anythin’ and everythin’ you point em’ at.
After joining the Horde proper Pelia’s lookin’ to turn her Fireflask lobbing hobby into a real art form. If there are any folks offering RP apprenticeships in the incendiary arts who’d be interested in RPing together give me a shout.
I will be extremely saddened and dismayed if there is not at least ONE Mechagnome running around in game, be it an NPC easter egg or a player… who is parodying Robocop with their character. XD
RP Class: Former gladiator/ Now resistance fighter/ Hero
History: Captured from the surface and forced to fight in the arena, the mechagnome known only as ‘Rusticus’ soon became a champion and crowd favorite. Though prized and treated well for a slave, he was just that, a slave, and longed for his freedom.
After a time, he organized a revolt and killed his oppressors, taking his companions and fleeing Mechagon for the outside world and joining the resistance. His lofty ambition: to make every mechagnome free to make their own choices, upgraded or not.
I’m planning on using mechagnomes to make a proper, fully mecha-gnized character.
His full name is Surveillance and Observation Node, he is a minor sensory unit from Uldir who is tasked with reporting any signs of containment breach or potential test subjects for G’huun’s blood.
Unfortunately, though, while on a route exploring the underwater sections near Uldir, he was EMP’d and disabled by junker gnomes, who took him to the city of Mechagon, and after multiple failed attempts at turning him back on, threw him into a junk heap.
However, with 8.3, MOTHER sends out a pulse to scan for any titanic devices that might aid against N’zoth, and in the process, rebooted his systems. All he has to do is find out why MOTHER isn’t in Uldir anymore.
The Uldir sets actually work really well for disguising the fleshy bits of a gnome, and the metal matches pretty perfectly.
If either of you are looking to do some IC mechagnome RP, The Great Mecha Trek will be coming to Moon Guard on patch day, ready to help guide fresh Mechagnomes through Azeroth! The Great Mecha Trek - IC mechanognome RP guild!
She is Gnomergan Gnome, but was severely injured in a workshop meltdown. She suffered major damaged to her arms and lower legs. Luckily for her she was able to be sent to Mechagnon (sp) where they were able to replace her ruined limbs. She uses her mechanization and technical know-how to recreate Arcane spells, mostly of the ice/frost variety.
