This post brought to you by Anna Corp™.  The idea of the Friday Five RP questions intrigued me when Anna first posted them - I’m a fan of RP within and outwith World of Warcraft - but I wasn’t up to getting my thoughts together last week in a coherent enough form.

This week, though, I am in a writingful mood and the questions tickled my imagination enough that I decided, what the hey, lets have a go!  I’m going to go with Avarix for this first one as, despite being on a normal realm, I still assign character to my… characters.  It’s a good way of keeping myself amused whilst grinding but I don’t go nearly as in depth as  I would when making an RP character.  Doing these questions allows me to flesh out the little ponderings I’ve had about my various characters.

When is your character’s birthday?  Does he/she know?

Avarix is a springtime child - he was born sometime around the Azerothian equivalent of April 3rd.
What is your character’s favorite place in the world?  Why?

Avarix has lost all sense of Draenor as his home.  Destruction, pain and fear are all that are in the mind of the young Draenei when he thinks back to his time there.  Thus, it is in Azeroth that he finds himself seeking new and peaceful places.  His ‘apprenticeship’ under Nobundo, as with many others, has brought a new appreciation for the land and all it contains.

He has travelled to places that some humans, gnomes or dwarves would not dare tread, seeking guidance from the elements and it was this search which led him to his favourite place - Mulgore.   The soft, rolling, grassy plains, the high ridges and spires of earth on which the Tauren make their villages, and the sheer presence of the elements around the spiritual Tauren brought about his love for this place.

A close second would be the high spires of Thousand Needles - where the earth rises to meet the winds.

What kind of sense of humor does your character have (if any)?

Avarix has a rather wry, sardonic sense of humour - usually aimed at himself or the seriousness of those around him.  He knows he has a habit of being very ‘grandiose’ when he speaks about the elements and is still new enough to the teachings to feel that, perhaps, he sometimes is overeager to explain, talk, and expound about them.

Is your character introverted or extroverted?

Avarix is a little introverted - he does enjoy spending time with others but he’d rather sit at the back and listen than be at the forefront of the conversation.  He is a little shy around his new allies - hoping he will do nothing to disgrace himself, his people or his calling - and so is a little more relaxed when in the company of other shamans and Draenei.

What just irritates the hell out of your character?

Despite being very calm about most things, it pains Avarix to see the lands desecrated or destroyed - not just because of his newly found shamanism - but also because of the destruction caused wholesale by the Burning Legion and the effects thereof.  He has seen the destruction of his homelands and sees that the same is going on in Azeroth at the hands of those who should know better.  Willful destruction for profit is one of the few things which can cause the otherwise usually placid Shaman to see red.
