(Out of Date) Characters - Self-View, and the view of other 2013-14

(lol Krogon, you wrote about your character not how he perceives himself!)

Rae Wulfgnar sees himself as a beacon of the Light, one with unbreakable faith both mentally and physically. Intimidation is what he favours, he really doesn't want to attack the living so feigns anger to avoid attacking any-one. Justice comes first and if that means putting his friends in jail then he will do so without question.
He believes that because he is a bastard and an orphan child that his worth is meaningless, he doesn't deserve to have the same lives as those that were born from marriage and happy families. He also truly believes that his only purpose in life is to fight and protect the living, no matter who they are. He knows that he is only a servant of the Light and its will, that he must fight to preserve life and ultimately, die for it.

His view on others, especially women, is that they are divine beings because they can create life and deserve the best men to breed with. He views the faithless with pity and will always try to push them to see the greatness of the Light. His view on Arcanists are the same, pity and not hate, to keep them at a distance because they stand on the thin line between sanity and corruption. He is wary of other races, especially Draenei as he still believes they are connected to the Eredar and are not truly pure as they make out they are.

Jeremias Blackwell likes to live up to the image of a humble Priest and believes he truly is a divine prophet of the Light. He likes nothing more than to decide the fate of the faithless, choosing whether they live or die according to the virtues of the Light. He sees nobody but his fellow Priests as equals to his own greatness.

He views every-one with pity, the Light hasn't granted them its powers so their lives are meaningless. This means that he is paranoid that they will easily become corrupted so he views every-one who is not a Priest with the potential to become corrupted or are already corrupted.

Hahahaha.

Gor'Thrak doesn't find himself to be of much importance due to the simple fact that he's undead, as a matter of fact he's disgusted by and hates his undeath and would rather be with his ancestors on the eternal plains. However, he still refuses to commit suicide or anything of the like, seeking an honourable death. He believes that he can use himself as a tool to protect those he care for now that he's undead, not caring for his own well being. One could say he's quite cold, although he sometimes he does indulge in social matters. This is however usually due to ulterior motives such as making people trust him and keeping things functional.

On the other hand, he believes himself to be a near perfect killing machine and more capable of successfully fighting a battle or war than most others, even though his aim is to fight for those that are alive, viewing them as his kind's future.

As he believes that the greatest honour is to do everything within one's power to protect those that one cares for, he finds all means to be acceptable, as long as they lead towards a better end. Still, he usually tries to carry out most things without doing things that some may view as dishonourable, but as previously mentioned won't let anything hold him back, finding that sometimes an evil must be commited for the greater good.

Honour, pride and the like are traits that he believe himself to contain, them being the traits that he focuses the most on. He also views himself as clever, cunning and to some degree wise, prefering the cold truth and disliking blind faith and supposed honour (Believing there to be a difference between stupidity and honour). He also takes pride in his hard earned experience.


Getting to know Gor'Thrak properly is a difficult task for most, he rarely opens himself to others, largely remaining a cold and straight to the point kind of Orc with a short fuse.



As for other races the only ones that he really care for are Orcs, Trolls and Tauren, but he also acknowledges that there are some individuals within most races that contain some good qualities that he could grow to care for, although it takes quite a bit.
He hates the entire Alliance with a passion, in particular Humans, wanting to see them all given a merciless and painful death and eradicated from the surface of Azeroth.
While remaining friendly towards the rebellion and wishing to aid them he's utterly disgusted by their peace treaty with the Alliance, believing it to be both a strategically and morally incorrect course of action.

Grim Grim views himself as better than most people. He is intelligent for an orc, though perhaps not quite as intelligent as he thinks he is. He likes to confuse / surprise people who are expecting to deal with a big, dumb orc.

Grim is the sort of guy who once he's given his opinion on a subject will then stop listening and not pay attention to other people's opinions (we all know people like that IRL!). He views most people as tools to be used and discarded; though recently he's grown fond of quite a few people.

He has black moods and is aware of them but finds himself incapable of changing and is prone to indecision at times.

Grim wants to be famous, respected, feared and/or loved. Most of his actions go towards these goals, even if indirectly. He's usually smart enough to make his actions look benevolent and honourable and has no fear of getting involved in murky politics to get his own way.

Pretty sure that is infact the same thing, and yes I did write about how he percieves himself. He's very self aware and machine like.

Grim will also be pleased to know that Krogon and rarg have parted ways ;o

That is exciting!

What, again? Krogon and orcs of the Red Blade are worse of a soap opera then what goes on in the Wayfarer's Rest...

updated my list

Paozi Wulong

Paozi has come to see himself as a weapon to be used to protect Pandaria and tends to project this outlook on to different people he interacts with. Just as he is to be used as a shield against possible threats, so can he in turn use other people for the same purpose.

Paozi is selfless in the truest sense of the word: he lacks motivations of his own and lives a life of servitude and duty. He would consider his own motivations – if he had any – a distraction from the greater goal. The degree to which Paozi considers himself to be a tool of the Shado-pan is perhaps best exemplified by the fact that, before going into a serious battle, he will swallow a batch of explosives and hand the detonator to his superiors.

Keep in mind that Paozi, for all the masks of being a happy and oafish pandaren senior, is a a rather cold and calculating person on the inside and tends to mistrust almost anyone who isn't pandaren. Please don't feel insulted by how poorly my character thinks about yours!

More Horde people should do this. Alliance are dull!

I do agree, it seems at most times topics like these are heavily dominated by Alliance, which is honestly a shame. I'd love to see more Horde inputs.

It only stands to reason this thread would, too.

Fine. Time for a serious version.

Alph'el sees herself as a failure. She's never attained arch-mage-ship, she's never in her five-hundred years of life found someone that adores her, and she's self-conscious about her appearance to the point of insanity, going through great lengths to alter it with magic to come closer to an image of Elvish perfection.

Her mind is a shattered mess that only rarely seems to be able to focus, and that only happens when there's magic involved. She doesn't understand people and their connections, and is all to aware of that. She is prone to contradiction; Thinks priests and other "divine casters" are dumb slaves to what she calls "the divine intellect", yet is envious of the abilities that it grants them and their ability to "just have faith".

She plays along with her insanity and puts up a shell of flirtatious, snobby, or down-right mean behavior, to make sure no-one can find out what a rotten old hag she is on the inside.

It's better to be hated then to be pitied.

Naturally, but that doesn't make it any less unfortunate.

Paia Cuddlefork

Paia holds herself to standards she cannot possibly ever hope to meet. She is a perfectionist and enters into everything with the assumption that she has to succeed outright. This can feed into her casual arrogance, whereby she assumes herself to be superior to anyone who doesn't either meet or strive for these impossibly high standards. Failure weighs heavily on her as it causes her to question her self-image of crisp, perfect professionalism as well as reminding her of the serious moral failures in her past.

When thinking of the more distant past Paia is unhappy, she considers herself to have committed some heinous lapse in ethical conduct during the years during and immediately after the fall of Gnomeregan. Because of this and her desire to improve the world she is extremely devout in the light but feels it is not her place to lecture or proselytise, considering her service as a kind of penance.

Paia does not interact with people outside of Wild Tempest all that often so won't have opinions on most people.

Allonia Miral:

In her current situation, Allonia isn't all sure of what to make of herself really. Other than insisting on being something different from what she used to be and trying to build up a new life, she tries to do her best as officer of the Freelancers, still seeing their safety as her main responsibility. She takes this very seriously, and would like to think this is something she is good at.

She has many insecurities making her see herself as much too weak, some of them being the fact that she is worgen and how it affects her, and the little knowledge she has about her past self. She will never openly admit to any of these weaknesses though, and will take any opportunity to try and convince others of the contrary, as well as making herself stronger.

Generally she sees others with cautious mistrust, especially those who knew her in the past.

Iriel:

Eidan has suffered from identity issues and crisis since he was freed from the Lich King’s control; he’s often fretful and struggles to rationalize who and what he is, conflicted. He’s distanced himself further and further from anything ‘Scourge’ related, tending to live a double life almost. He does not talk about what he has to do to sate his addiction to suffering, and is on some level disgusted with what he is, what he’s done. At the same time he also believes that the Light is forgiving, and that it is not wrong for him to worship it, that if he continues to serve it and do good with his time, he’ll ultimately be forgiven. He’s also come to believe that he is not ‘as bad’ as other Death Knights, because his service was short, and his list of crimes relatively short in comparison; he served mainly to assault the Scarlets, and seeing as they were the ones to end him, he still feels justified on some level. He has an earnest desire to do good, however, and to help people wherever and however he can. He longs for acceptance and belonging, and this motivates him to put up with any abuse he gets for being what he cannot change. He tends to be quite humble, not viewing himself with any particular pride, though he does tend to believe he’s a ‘good person’, at least now. Still, there is always that little nagging voice…

Considering his so called ‘plight’ trying to win the hearts and minds of the citizens, he tends to be very open, gentle, and willing to accept others. He tries not to generalize, and gives most people a chance, regardless of their affiliation. He’s somewhat dismayed by all the negative forces active in the world, but tries very hard not to lose hope or patience with it. He wants to like people.

Update: That said, through recent events and his time spent with the Disciples, he's beginning to develop an actual distaste and prejudice towards other Death Knights.

Vaell
He views himself as superior to most people. If you can't wield magic, you're not on par with Vaell. He thinks he has evolved beyond others because of his magical training - that being said, he's incredibly insecure around strong characters. If you're intimidating and he doesn't have anyone to back him up, he'll back down... That being said, he is also naive (though he'd said otherwise) and wouldn't quite understand if someone was mocking or attempting to intimidate him. He truly believes the majority people are jealous of his capabilities and tries to blot out those who clearly surpass him in skill. He honestly believes he'll achieve greatness and perhaps learn the secret of eternal life.

Will post to clarify when I update these, only doing opinions on those who have posted to avoid missing anyone out:

I decided to put some IC background to mine:

Vaell is lying in bed, trying to count sheep to go to sleep. It doesn't work. Suddenly, (your character) crops into his mind...
