planning World of Warcraft: Aftermath of Corruption (Fantasy, non-pony, OOC)

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

"It has been one week since the Corrupted Blood plague invaded Azeroth and claimed the lives of thousands of people. The disease is now gone, but the scars have not yet begun to heal. Civilization begins to return to the formerly infected cities, with settlers and former dwellers alike coming in droves. Near the ancient city of Ironforge, a small group of survivors intends to aid the rebuilding of the city, still littered with the bones of victims. This is where our story begins."

 

Greetings everypony. 'Tis Renegade back with a new roleplay. This time, it's a World of Warcraft RP taking place in the aftermath of the Corrupted Blood incident from 2005. This will be a private RP with only 6 people being allowed in.

 

SETTING:

 

This RP takes place in a post-plague Azeroth, which has suffered a Class 1 apocalypse (Civilization has survived, although in an altered state). The city of Ironforge is starting to rebuild itself, although rather slowly. There are several factions fighting for control of the city:

 

• The Council of Ironforge, a temporary government that controls the heart of the city.
• The Cult of Blood, a crazed group of survivors who believe that the plague is a sign of the end times.
• The Settlers Guild, a group that seeks to rebuild Ironforge as a democratic city-state.
• Guild of the Alliance, who represent...well, the Alliance.
• Agents of Chaos, a group of anarchists who want Ironforge to be a place of "true freedom".

Our characters can choose to side with any of these factions, or not to. The choice is yours.

 

RULES:

 

1) NO GODMODDING.

 

2) NO MARY-SUES.

 

3) NO EXTREME VIOLENCE.

 

4) Romance is allowed, but please keep it PG-13.

 

5) Cussing is allowed as well. Just keep it on the down-low.

 

6) Have fun.

 

7) No species outside of the playable races of WoW.

Would races that weren't available at the time count?

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Like what, for example?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Like what, for example?

 

The Pandaren namely. Last I checked, they weren't available at that time.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Hmmm...I'll say yes. Are you planning to use a Panderan?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

He's my main, so yes.

 

My second would be a Draenei if that would fit better.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Go with either one.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Name: Wei Yu Summerstep

 

Age: 23

 

Species: Pandaren

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance: He is of typical build for a Pandaren of his lifestyle. Rotund and chubby, but far from all of his mass is fat. He is very hygienic and keeps his beard trimmed and fur clean. He always dons a gi with an emblem of the Tushui on it, either wearing over it a Wandering Isle style robe or light leather armor as dependent on the situation. He carries a bo staff and a dao sword.

 

Or . . . http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/wyrmrest-accord/Weiyu/simple

 

Class: Monk

 

Bio: Wei Yu Summerstep grew up on the back of Shen-Zin Su with his brother Lu Kwei. They both trained under Master Shang Xi but in the separate schools of Tushui and Huojin. When the Alliance and Horde first made contact, both volunteered to represent their respective disciplines to their new friends. Before departing, they made a sacred vow before the spirits that they would one day meet again.

 

When Master Cloudsinger told her disciples of King Varian's command, it broke Wei Yu's heart.

 

Now what once filled him with hope and anticipation, the vow to see his brother again, instead replaces his hope with dread. For what would happen when they finally meet again?

 

To hopefully avert his fears, Wei Yu works to foster peace between the Alliance and Horde, this puts him in an odd position as he has defended the people and interests of the Alliance many a time but champions a decidedly unpopular political notion. So his reception amongst Alliance officials is very mixed.

 

Wei Yu's other major motivation is the perfection of his discipline in the Tushui way, through both his philosophy and physical skills.

 

Motivations for coming to Ironforge: To use his skill with the mist and herb to heal those still recovering from the plague.

 

Affiliated with Any Factions?: Not yet.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Accepted. I will add him as the first character.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Awesome! This is going to be cool.

 

I do really like this setup though. It's appropriate for a social focus RP within the setting.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Thanks. Was Pandera affected by the plague?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Thanks. Was Pandera affected by the plague?

 

Pandaria, and I don't know. "The blood plague" is something I kind of missed in-game.

 

What's more is that Wei Yu is from the Wandering Isle, he wasn't born on the mainland and feels no more a kinship to it than the Orcs do to Draenor. It's more a cultural heritage than anything real.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Ah, I see. Ever played Dwarf Fortress?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Never.

 

Not really my thing.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Ah, OK. I noticed you have a WoW RP with The Shadow Stallion. Mind inviting him to this one?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

That would be cool if he could join as well. Then two characters would have a shared history by the time this one starts.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

That sound's like a good idea.

[rolle 320]

First... I have a question, do you accept non-usable classes and races?

 

And second. I think this is a brilliant idea since the 'epidemic' was freakin huge. Glad i didnt go to the major cities back then. Really, no need for it.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Actually, since I wasn't playing then, that makes Wei Yu's lack of knowledge from not even being on the continent at the time perfect!

Sorry, but rules are rules. I'll still accept any OCs you have, though.

[MozillaToast 233]

Am I right in assuming this is an Alliance based RP?

Name: Dorkuraz Shadowspear

Age: 43

Species: Troll

Gender: Male 

Appearance: Full Tier 1 Set (Molten Core)

Class: Enhancement Shaman

Bio: Exiled from the Darkspear Tribe after being against pledging allegiance for the horde. Part of the Agents of Chaos. Has a habit to pick a fight with others over fractional issues.

Motivations for coming to Ironforge: Safe refuge from either fraction and single out representatives and sabotage any peace treaties.

Affiliated with Any Factions?: Nope. Very hostile either way.

@,

 

Uhhhh . . . doesn't seem kind of . . . I don't know, suicidal for a troll to come anywhere near Ironforge?

Edited February 20, 2015 by Steel Accord

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Are trolls a playable race? 

 

And I agree with Accord.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Are Trolls a? . . .

 

Are you sure you've actually played World of Warcraft?

See this is my only bone to pick. If you want to play an exile from the Darkspear, that's fine. I just don't think Ironforge would grant asylum to a Horde ex-pat, especially when it's this vulnerable. 

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

Well, yeah. I agree with Accord. Ironforge simply won't take a Darkspear, especially since they're recovering from the epidemic.
