So my latest new muse is @elissaria

(art by @bambidoesthings)

A Kaldorei hunter/ranger who up until recently spent her days training hippogryphs and sabers in Darnassus and other elven settlements prior. Now she’s somehow found herself working with the Legion of the Dawn as a scout when she’s not working with the gryphons they have.

It’s a bittersweet day when Eleeria has to kill her own wife.

She wishes it were raining. She wishes there was something other than perpetual sunshine. It would match her mood more than eternal autumn, the sun filtering through the forests of the Cove and sparkling across the sea. But instead she sits on the beach with her lover, the two of them staring at the sunset as Weleria rests her head in Eleeria’s lap.“We had a good run, didn’t we?” It’s Eleeria who speaks. Weleria’s long since lost the ability to. It was the small things first; the slow decay and inevitable progress of time, the loss of small memories, the loss of speech. Forsaken died, as all things mortal did. And though several years had passed and Eleeria remained in most ways, exactly the same, she had watched her wife wither away.“Yeah, I know. Three kids. All hooligans.” She tries her best not to cry. She should be happy she even got this much time. “Beautiful, all of them. Even if you scared Lairen’s husband the day before their wedding and she got mad at you.” Eleeria laughs softly, for both of them.“We’re an unstoppable team, you and I. Give em hell on the other side until I get there.” She presses a kiss to the brittle skin of her wife’s forehead. “‘Til true death and beyond.”And with the sun setting on their home, Eleeria wraps the two of them in the Light, gently -- ever so gently -- dissembling the shadows that hold Weleria’s soul to the mortal realm, letting her wife pass to the world after.

At least, when she opens her eyes and looks at what she’s done, Weleria is smiling. And the world is sunny. And her children and grandchildren are waiting for her, back at home.

Eleeria lets the sea take her wife’s ashes. Everything to the sea, oh Siren of the Cove. She’s never felt those words so potently before.

And then she stands up, and starts on her first day in the rest of her life.

Honestly, I wasn’t going to do so with Reyora, but I have gravely missed playing Galleia-- who was the first one I wrote with a verbal/visual disability. 

The inspiration comes from a book I read a few years ago, that I wish I could find and/or recall the title/author of. It was a good book and a lovely depiction.

The other thing is, I like the challenge of trying to portray it as best/accurately as I can. It’s part of why I have it so she doesn’t allow mind magic to speak telepathically. 

I also like to avoid her being literate due to the inspiration from the novel. It also makes it so there’s no easy ‘bypass’ for Reyora in game. People IC have to either understand sign, or basically, play charades/create their own language with one another.

I noticed with Galleia it’s helped me learn words and phrases here and there with sign, and with making Reyora, I wanted to spend more time making sure I get more phrases/understanding on certain signs/more signs as time go by so 1, I can portray her better, but 2, so I can be better.

Bed, Wed, Behead.

“This… is cruel.” The woman’s brows down-turned, her eyes narrowed toward the figure that stood over her. Kira’s lips set into a thin line as she tilted her head to either side, clearly weighing her options. “Fine. If you must know; bed Castinus. I do wonder what he’s like. Mn…” She sucked in her lower lip and cleared her throat. 

“Ah, wed Latilda. Not that I’m the type to settle. She just handles herself rather nicely. Wife material, one might say.” A frown ate away at her expression. “Sorry, Aisla. Wish I could bed more than one.”

][ Accepting ][ 

A: AFFECTION.  How does your muse show affection?

Physical touch!  If Rose is comfortable with a person or fancies them she will find reasons to touch them.  Fleeting things, at first, she’s not one to give people un-welcomed backrubs.  But a hand on the arm, fixing their hair, wiping something off their face, all signs that you’re dear to her heart.She’s big on holding hands with just about anyone, not just romantic interests.  Rose went through a long period of no physical contact with anyone so the moment she can get it she’s gonna snatch it up. 

D: DATE.   What is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

An adventure where it is clearly stated at the start that it’s a date.  She’s been on outings before without realizing they were dates until someone tried to kiss her and it’s always a big shock.  There is no one currently that she is really truly into, but someone who made her laugh and always seeks to make her laugh would be a big plus.  Life is hard and often serious and she would like someone who can see just how weird this world is. 

F: FLIRT.   Is your muse good at flirting? How do they flirt? 

No.  God, no.  This goes back to Rose being a chatterbox who talks too much and often says the wrong thing.  She has no idea how to actually flirt with someone and she has no idea when she’s being flirted with.  She very rarely flirts with someone but it should be rather obvious that it’s happening.I think this sums it up pretty neatly:

First off, thank you so much! Even though I don’t play her in game a whole lot anymore, nor have the time to write as many shows as I wish, Sarah is one of my favourite characters I’ve created.

What are 3 things your character desires/has goals for?

Three things that Sarah has desires/goals for, and in no particular order

To see her foreman, Merrick, no longer forbidden from her patron’s property as she not only is fond of him and despises the team being separated, but she feels safest when he’s the one handling her equipment.

To own her own theatre. 

To get Idda put out of business (this is more of a petty grudge, and also knowing the woman is a danger to anyone in her line of work)

What are two things in her way?

Her own spending habit. She saves money, but not quite enough. She has a habit of spending copious amounts of money on other people, or equipment that she doesn’t need but wants. ...And the occasional splurge at @alyssa-ward‘s jewelry shop when I catch it in game.

Connections. Idda has more than Sarah (as far as we have NPC’d in our universe/headcanoned) and has been in the business longer than her. She’s not only got connections, but she’s got money. As well as the wits to manipulate people and situations to her favour.

And what is one idea or story concept you would love to write about?

I would love to write Sarah ‘on tour’, but when you’ve got the same people no matter where you go, people just move to different areas of the map, it gets a little repetitive and I’m unsure of how to pull this off proper to how I envision it short of just ‘saying’ Sarah has gone on tour and no one having actually seen her/heard of her in that time.

Thanks for the question, @latildarommel!!

Interesting question! With the N’zoth Assaults, a lot of my characters are either helping Azeroth’s forces in repelling the assaults or ethically capitalizing off of them.

Remington isn’t participating in the combat directly. Her contribution is more subtle. She’s helping coordinate trade routes with other merchants to Uldum and Pandaria to provide readily-available goods for the various adventurers and neutral organizations combating the old god threat. It’s very likely some of her adventuring wares, ammunition, and weaponry are available in Ramkahen and Mogu’shan Palace.

Gregory, on the flipside, will be fighting side-by-side his fellow monks in the Order of the Broken Temple repelling the N’zoth assaults in the Vale. He’s learned a lot this past year training in Pandaria, and this is the first time he’ll be using what he’s learned in actual combat. There couldn’t be a better definition of trial by fire.

Celaryn, being in the Iron Company mercenaries, will be dispatched to the Vale as part of a rapid deployment by the organization to support the adventurers and neutral parties repelling the assaults. The company has posted a bounty to incentivize its employees: One gold piece for every faceless or old god minion kill. And Celaryn is all too gleeful to collect. This is also the first time she fights alongside the Alliance.

With the focus being in Uldum and the Vale, combat and action RP is something I look forward to! It’s by far my favorite genre.
