History

Childhood: Draven grew up in a moderate household, raised to tend farm and look after the animals. His father tought him how to hunt and how to mend the injured (though most of his practice was on unfortunate cows who got attacked by wild animals).

Adulthood: When Draven grew older, he found farm life utterly boring and decided to instead pursue the study of magic. He found that he was naturally quite good and made it through the ranks as a young mage quite rapidly, being one of a select few honored by the Korin Tor for his aptitude. That all changed and he became banished once he found some tomes containing spells of Shadow and Fel. Draven refused to give up the studies and, for it, he became an outcast.

Special Moments: Draven turned his back on his whole life, including his family, in the pursuit of power and magic. He often thinks back to it, curious if he will grow to regret his choice, but the lure of Fel power always brings him back.

Current Events: Draven makes ends meet doing odd jobs, but that's just to keep food on the table, so to speak. In his off time, he is often out and about, looking for tomes, artifacts, or potential mentors. Anything to advance his magical prowess.

@Marrok overall he's pretty much done. Not much I can hold against him though keep in mind given the situation the fel might cause him to face some negative attitude. That said it says he's neutral that's fine but what was he doing on the shores of Northrend to get swallowed by the vortex? Following it's energies in hope of something interesting? Also what's his main demon?

[Red7VII]

I'm good with the negative feedback and I'm prepared to RP accordingly. As far as traveling to a monumental source of power, I imagine Draven's curiosity would definitely lead him down that rabbit hole. My first post can even be a semi prologue leading up to him discovering it. As far as a main demon, I plan on the imp playing a constant role, but when there is action, a Felhunter would be his main battle buddy

[rivaan]

@Marrok Alright approved, but Im giving a rule for the demon summoning. It will be harder to pull off than usual. Whenever you wish to summon or change a demon, you will have to ask. As we've got Legion commanders and warlocks running around too. Move him over. Feel free to post your intro post when you can but indeed stop at being vortex swallowed, will give you an location update and the like in the next update after your post

[Red7VII]

Pulling out. My expectations were a little different than what has played out and I think after 2 months, I've given the RP a fair shot. Thanks very much for the opportunity and have fun!

[rivaan]

@Marrok Alright. Thank you for giving it a try. Also do send me a PM with what differed from your expectations and what you think would have improved the RP if you could. I'm open to critics and hope if we ever get in a RP again in the future it will be to your liking. Wish you best of luck!

[Ceta de Cloyes]

Okay, before I get too excited, I have Questions^TM:

So for... let's call them divergent classes, like warlocks and demon hunters and death knights where the character usually has a background as something else before they started making deals with demons or snacking on their souls or being raised as undead, how much of their old skills do they retain? Would it make sense that a former mage turned warlock might know how to conjure a water elemental? That a former rogue turned demon hunter might know how to sneak unseen?

And speaking of conjuring shizz, for warlocks and mages, and I guess demon hunters and death knights to an extent, how do their relationships carry over? As far as like conjured side kicks I mean. I'm not sure what the official canon is on these things. I think demons go back to the Nether when warlocks don't have them summoned, and I assume the same goes for elementals and the various elemental planes, but I don't know for sure. Could be stored in neat little scrolls or tattoos I guess. I know warlocks have contracts and always summon the same demons, is that the same for mages and elementals? Do the contracts carry over across time? Would the demons/elementals remember the future or would they just suddenly be bound in a contract their future selves made or is that all voided? I want to say it'd make sense that it only matters if they travel through the warp portal thing with the character, as with Draven and Zep or w/e his name is and Avol and... I thought it was a hobgoblin but it's actually an ogre so... anyway, is that something you want a solid say in or can I just play it how I want to?

I like to think I'm pretty solid in warcraft lore, I've been super into it even after all this time and Blizz's questionable choices lmao, but this kinda stuff I'd rather have your opinion on first before I start throwing my own assumptions around :P

[rivaan]

@Ceta de Cloyes On first questions: yes, we are operating via more logical rules here and not simply the Game system logic here. Mediv was able to use both warlocky shenanigans and also pull typical magic, so yes in some ways a person do CAN retain some their skills if not all. For the examples you gave yes a warlock could summon water elementals, but depending on the situation some of their demonic summons are more useful for them. Or on the rogue demon hunter, yes sneaky demon hunter is quite possible. Demon hunters gain their demon hunters power on top of their previous occupation. Working off some of the tabletop rules here though, but it does make sense no? I mean if you've lived your life so far sneaking about and being sneaky you wont simply forget those skills. Deathknights are a different kind of breed in this sense cause htey were raised to be deathknights specifically so their skills will be replaced only. They are OP enough already.

On the relationships question about summons: most lower level elementals from my knowledge do not possess high intelligence in the same manner most creatures do. In fact most elementals but hte few most powerful are mindless ones so it doesn't matter really what you summon. Any summoned elemental with the right spell would just comply with it's master. Demons are trickier, but for the purpose of the RP I will allow for them to be summoned and the ones contracted specifically. Let's just call it: temporal effect of convenience magic ^^ The only thing on warlock summoning demons is that it IS harder to summon their demons into the world.

Think I answered for now ^^ feel free to ask more if you wish.
