Draenei and Worgen child

I don't see a problem with it myself. It's not something I would do myself, but it's fine in my eyes. Like Drubee said, it's possible for a human/orc/draenei hybrid to exist, and the worgen are basically just cursed humans, so why not a draenei/worgen pairing too? I don't understand why you're making such a big deal out of something so trivial. How does her draenei-worgen baby affect you at all? :p

And we make assumptions in role-play all the time, there's nothing wrong with it. In fact Sharyssa (name thief!!!!), it's kind of ironic because aren't you sort of in a guild that's entire foundation is based on one huge assumption? :p Nearly every single guild has its own fanlore. Arathor does, SGE does, TTH does. It's fine, it's normal, everyone does it, it's no big deal.

And hey, why is all the focus on night elf/draenei female fertility??? Maybe they do have normal, monthly cycles but it's just that males have a low sperm count!!!!!

LOL at fat Thelos with tiny balls!

In fairness to squid tho, Lexy's fell off :'(

It's up to debate whether a good RPer would even try to pull off something like this.
I personally find this kind of RP bad. Very bad. But yeah, no one is forcing me to RP with them so I can just continue sitting in my tiny cage and RP with other narrow minded bitches...

And you quoted my opinion.
But to make it even more simple..... My opinion is that Worgen-Draenei kids are not possible, but there is no official proof supporting or being against it so my opinion means nothing.

I'd highly doubt it'd work, but... much like everyone else, that's just a personal opinion and an assumption. Can't really do much until we're given any information on the subject, which we never will be.

Though, I've gotta say, what sort of characters are these two? I mean, a cursed Gilnean, someone that has to live with transforming into a Worgen to get shit done, decides he wants to make babies with a Draenei?

What?

I am more concerned about the fact an ancient being would want to get children with a worgen... but that's personal I think? *shrug*

Even if you can get away with it, it's still just one of those things that's "pushing it", like demon hunter RP. You might be able to do it buuuuut...

It all comes down to how well it is RPed! If they do it correctly, it could be pretty fun to come across. Deformed baby hunting is the in thing right now.

EDIT: I'm not trying to root for them, though. I can't imagine it going well. I mean, it could, but it is unlikely.

When it comes to Med'an, I'd like to point out that to this day we have not yet seen a human-draenei.

I think the sole reason that breed mixture even worked out, was because his mother in turn was a halfbreed orc-draenei, it was her orcish genes that made it possible for her to breed with a human and let the draenei genes proceed with, though fullblood draenei to human, I actually doubt possible.

That's my assumption of course. But, since he is the only of his kin, and that his mother was neither orc or draenei fullblood, but a halfbreed herself (and those are atleast encountered throughout the lore.) I quite think that's the only reason why it worked.

Thus worgen or not, a draenei wouldn't be able to breed with the cursed human. (This is however my view on the matter, until proven otherwise.)

We know that orcs can breed with draenei, ogres, humans, and elves. We know that humans can breed with ogres, orcs, and elves. I would find it rather odd that both humans and orcs are able to breed with each other, ogres, and elves, yet only orcs would be able to breed with draenei.

That doesn't make any sense to me.

It's a common fantasy trope that every humanoid race can interbreed with one another.

Now there is a safe assumption to make.

This basically.

I'll mix Thelos' and Drustai's points and say "It's logically possible to interbreed everything but you're a retard snowflake if you do it." Same was as it's possible to, say, RP being a Demon Hunter.

I say let the kids have their fun.

Then please tell me why Draenei do not have children every year to repopulate?

They do, Blizzard just cba to make the NPCs.

OT, thinking that the curse is inherited is a dangerous assumption to make, and there's really nothing suggesting that it is or it isn't. It'd be safest, imo, to have a human-draenei child, uncursed. If Blizzard decides the curse can be passed on to offspring, the draenei's holyness cleansed the curse after fertillisation.

To be honest, in-game representation of children, if to be believed, leaves the ENTIRE STORMWIND YOUTH to be Donna and her douchebag brother, those 7 pentagram kids from Goldshire and that kid who's standing around doing nothing in Eastvale Logging Camp.

Those are the only human children over a timespan of 7 years? I think that's enough to settle the fact that no, game world is NOT indicative of anything. Infact, there's an orphanage in Shattrath and it has plenty of draenei children. So yeah.

I'ma say no. I don't see why you'd argue for such cliche anyway.
If they -are- going to go through with it (No dount they will) then the most logical is a half human half squiddy with no worgen traits.

I personally believe if it came to any use, Blizzard would allow the mating of the two species. In regards to "Would a Goblin and Human be able to mate?" I'd say no. Both are humanoids of a similar body structure, which, as Thelos said, usually makes it possible in most fantasy worlds. (WoW being a prime example considering the amount of half-bloods you get in lore)

This isn't a game changing piece of lore, as long as it is RPed correctly, I don't see it as an issue. In fact, I think it could add a bit of spice to rping with the two characters. As the OP put in the text, "Would the Draenai shun the child? Would it be afflicted with the curse? Where will they go? Who will accept them" - if they RPed it as it is, a rare and undocumented new race and all of the troubles that came with that, it could create some very decent RP. I understand that we already have a vast lore to work on, but there is always room for new and inventive ideas.

My only suggestions to the people if they go through with it are...
- Do not treat the child as a normal one. Be extremely cautious about its existance, letting only those you trust know about it. If not, expect to find some resistance that will want to take / kill it.
- Try not to force it upon others who do not agree with the whole idea, perhaps explain it OOCly if you're holding it and someone new approaches, leaving them the choice to interact.
- Be smart about it! This wasn't a quick five minute behind the bike shed moment, you'd have to be trying for a while to get pregnant with a Worgen.

But because Worgen were formerly human (or atleast I'm assuming this is not one of the NElf ones) I don't actually see it as a massive deal if done correctly. Just one golden rule.

This is however how it is actually, considering as far as I know the rp only spans over a few days/weeks.

Forsaken babies!

I doubt the baby would come out alive, seeing that it are two waaaaay to different races in genes and what not. Also, one of them is cursed which would only twist the DNA even more. So what seems logical to me is that..

A: The baby dies while in the mothers belly.
B: The mother, after a lot of trouble manages to give birth, revealing a awfull monster that even makes Einstein jealous which dies a few moments after the birth.
C: There never actually comes a baby.

Or they like to role-play having a child, and they will it to life.

It's not -all- about the lore, guys. It's also about playing stories that people enjoy. Its okay to cry foul, but just do it in character.

I remember once Delidah was confronted with someone who claimed to be a dragon. I went in the complete opposite direction in my reaction and had Delidah claim dragons to be fable creatures that don't exist. A delightful and very funny discussion spawned in which we where both "wrong". It was funny, and nobody walked away angry or frustrated.

When you encounter these quirky not-entirely-super-tight-with-the-lore cases just take it with a grain of salt and offer the other players the courtesy of just "rolling with it."

The server would have long descended into utter ridiculous chaos if we treated every case of questionable RP the way you've described.
