After a long time and many words written, I left WoW roleplay in mid-2021. While some of my OCs might be re-interpreted in other settings, they aren't continuations. For the foreseeable future, these characters are retired.

Kyuusei Shadowleaf

World of Warcraft, MG-A & WRA-A @kyuusei-shadowleaf​

Cenarion Druid, a child of Ashamane, Kyuusei was a Night Elf often at war with her own nature - and who wished, more than anything, to find the embrace of home. Not just the place, but home of the soul. She's semi-retired to a cottage in Val'sharah, shared with a druidess named Alania, a sapling teldorei, and a sleeping emerald dragon in a nearby meadow. Her epilogue is here.

Seraanna Longveil-Morrowsun

World of Warcraft, MG-A & WRA-A @longveil-morrowsun​

Seraanna Longveil, Marquess of House Morrowsun, found herself pressed by need and adversary almost to her unmaking, but emerged instead a sibyl of the Void’s myriad truths. The ren'dorei has left her apartment that once overlooked Stormwind Harbor and is now rumored to have taken up residence on the grounds of the Temple of the Jade Serpent, where she practices calligraphy, dances with a fox, and listens. Her coda is here.

Annadia Thorn-Morrowsun

World of Warcraft, MG-A @annadia-thorn​

The younger daughter of Morrowsun, Annadia wields blades and sheds blood as easily as her dear sister Seraanna twists Shadow. Apprenticed among the cartels of Murder Row, Annadia flirts with darkness and gives allegiance to none - save for her undying love for the last living remnant of her family. She now flits from place to place, rarely seen long, more shadow and rumor than fact. Her coda is shared with her sister.

Tavarres Stagheart

World of Warcraft, MG-A @tavarres​

Old beyond reckoning with calm patience to match, the hermit’s son was driven from his mountain by Cataclysm only to find a Grey Path laid by one even older than himself. Only a few voices among the capricious and short-lived ever truly caught his ear. Perhaps he's returned to Stonetalon, or found interest in ancient lands that make him feel young again.

“Tavarres puts forth such an exquisite image of a man who takes his life slowly and steadily, who indulges in the simple but well-moderated pleasures of pipe and ale, who has all the time in the world and all the gentleness to understand your ills. So practiced and poised, but beneath it he is ready to snap your neck in an instant.

18. Do they have any phobias?

Phobia: noun 1. an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

Mozelle would rather die than be dependent on anyone or caught unprepared for the worst case scenario — make her own money and split it between bank accounts and keeping it in stashes in case something happens to her bank access, take care of as many of her own needs as possible and know everything necessary for homesteading, keep a residence under her own name and a cheap apartment elsewhere under a fake name ‘just in case.’  Failure to be self-sufficient or prepared for the worst is just asking for someone to hurt you as payment for their assistance.

— But you have to be necessary and useful to other people, too, else you’re just going to be labeled obsolete and thrown away and they won’t care because why would they? If you’re useless then you’re unnecessary to keep around.

But hey, at least the thalassophobia has really died down since she came to the conclusion that N’Zoth Is Cool, Actually and that tentacles aren’t so bad! She still has a very healthy respect for the ability of the oceans and their denizens to absolutely massacre a human, though.

31. Share a random headcanon.

With years of experience in suffering from intrusive thoughts, Mozelle is actually fairly decent at just sort of... disregarding the whispers of the Void which run contrary to her nature or beliefs; mind you, of course, that much of what the Void has to say is perfectly in line with her nature and beliefs...

HAUNTED - When they’re suffering are they willing to admit it? To who? Why or why not?

To admit suffering without due cause is a form of weakness, and showing weakness is an excellent way to get pitied or destroyed by those around you. So Mozelle usually keeps admissions of suffering to herself, and downplays what cannot be kept private.

It may be obvious something is wrong, but damn if she’ll admit it.

When she does let anyone in on things, it’s usually in the middle of the night after a few drinks, and rarely any form of direct confession so much as sharing stories about what happened or what it’s like.

ZAGREUS - Are there any cycles they seem to never escape? Any lessons constantly following them?

Every cycle Mozelle has ever been in, Mozelle has never escaped.

There’s always a failure; there’s always something to self-sabotage; there’s always another wagon to fall off of; there’s always another person to leave; there’s always something to lash out at; so on and so forth.

Separation and distraction from whatever is causing discalm.

There’s no real singular ritual she has for truly calming down, though there’s plenty for calming down to the point of just festering (and often fantasizing harm against whoever’s upset her, if it’s an interpersonal issue); mostly, she’s content to nurse her grudges over some alcohol or a walk. 

Venting can either help or just work them back up into a frenzy, but either way must be ended before Mozelle reaches the part where it transitions from ‘venting’ to ‘plotting ill against others’—while most of the plotting is nothing more than idle brain exercise and fantasy, some of it can be very real.
