Oooh, gosh, thank you :D Corec is an adventure to answer questions for, I’ll do my best.

(21) Do they have a temper? What are they like when/if they do lose it?

-Corec has that whole ultra calm thing going for him at most times, but the moment you piss him off, it’s like a switch. His cold rage is very intense, and quite honestly murderous. He’s not one to forgive easily. So yes, he has a temper, and woe to anyone who brings it out.

(22) What are their favorite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they insult behind someone’s back?

-Corec aims for people’s insecurities or lack of social grace typically. He was raised in a noble family and it shows: all his insults are usually veiled or in backhanded compliments. You only clearly know when he’s insulting you if he wants you to know. He doesn’t necessarily insult someone behind their back so much as he uses the rumor mills and gossip like any other weapon in his arsenal. That is to say: cruelly and with much mastery. His charisma is his strongest weapon.

(46) Do they make a good first impression? Does their first impression reflect them accurately? How do they introduce themselves?

-“A first impression is the most important social tool one can employ,” in Corec’s mind. He always puts his best foot forward, laying on the charm or the intimidation needed, depending on the context of the situation. In a a way, his first impressions reflect him accurately in that he puts great value on charm and strength. Otherwise, he has a tendency for lying and never showing his true face except to those he most cares about, so his first impression is also just one of many masks he chooses to wear. -“Corec or House Duskwhisper, at your service. A pleasure to make tour acquaintance,” is the go-to, but not the sole introduction he uses. He relies a lot on his noble name to make an impression, but that works best in Silvermoon. So among non-elves, he uses military titles. High ranking Blood Knight and a Champion if the Horde? That’ll do for a strong introduction in most cases.

(47) How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event?

The one and only Corec Duskwhisper. I love him so much, and will always appreciate the chance to ramble about him. That being said, these questions, or at least the last one, is rude.

3. Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?

Corec Duskwhisper is, above all, a very high born aristocrat. And his cultured, flowing, and very posh accent reflect that. Of all my characters, Corec is the most charismatic. His voice has a musical rhythm to it and is of a deeper, masculine tone. That being said, he has dedicated himself to learning many languages, so his very polished accent carries through into other languages. He sounds very polished, and well spoken in most circumstances. Closest Earth comparison would probably be a very well spoken Spaniard who has managed to perfect most languages he learns, but still carries that Iberian flow.

4. Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?

Verbal tics don’t really come to mind. Corec almost never curses, if that counts as a verbal tic. Swearing is when he is quite frustrated or in a situation where the heat of battle or debate might get to him. If he ever drops, “f**k,” in his speech, you’ve really screwed up. Otherwise, the only real tic I could think of would be that he is very vocal when he is thinking, mostly meaning that he vocalizes, “Hmm,” or “Ah,” a bit more than he realizes, both while he’s thinking and right before a verbal response to signify he took a moment to think on the response, like “Hmm, yes, I see. Well that just will not do.”

Part of his noble upbringing involved many speech related classes, so his speech is as near perfect in pronunciation, especially in Thalassian. But if he’s speaking any other language, his “R”s always come out sounding quite accented and elven, and he can’t seem to stop that speech pattern. It irks him.

21. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

Corec would look down on the concept of being granted wishes. It’s too easy and takes away so much from life. That being said, since that is the easy way out, he would use his wishes as such: Firstly, somewhat silly but a small hope, Corec would wish for the ability to reconcile with his twin. The tension in their relationship, as a paladin and a death knight, is mostly Corec’s inability to forgive and look past his brother’s undeath, and he misses their once incredibly close relationship. Secondly, his sister’s happiness. They don’t always get along, but Corec wants her to be happy, healthy, and safe. And finally, as it ties to his brother’s happiness, Corec would wish for an extended lifespan for his younger brother’s human fiance. Corec knows that when Eidric dies of old age, as all humans do, it will break Belenar’s heart.

27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?

This is an incredibly cruel question and I almost don’t want to answer it. To Corec’s knowledge, both of his parent’s died in the fall of Silvermoon to the Scourge. His father at the Sunwell, and his mother, turned ghoul, at Corec’s own hands with the family sword. 

If he could go back and say something to them, to his father Corec would say, “You always treated me as the spare. But I will prove you wrong, prove to you that I am a worthy heir. And more than that, when I succeed you, I will far overshadow you and your paltry legacy. You ignored my existence in favor of a brother who never wanted the House to fall to him, ignored the treatment given to me by your own brother. I am your son, your flesh and blood, and you don’t deserve the legacy I will provide this family.”

I’m going to be completely honest, I didn’t notice this ask until now, oh my God I’m so sorry, I haven’t reblogged an ask prompt thing in a while so I’ve probably kept you waiting way too long ;_; 

Knowing me, this is in reference to Corec tho:

Corec admires strength and intelligence in others, typically. He respects those that can compete with him, because he’s (arrogant as hell) charismatic, cunning, and a gifted swordsman. So he most admires traits that either compliment his the most (respects the other person) or admires traits that are useful (he’s a manipulative ass)

Ahhh! That is the most dangerous of questions to ask Corec of all people, he’s my most ambitious character.
