Rectifying a "Stanank" on the Bifaction Thing

I know there hasn't been much of the "bi" in my bifaction blog. I mean, the majority of my posts have been about my alli characters and the pve scene. But now I plan to fix that and start posting a bit about my horde toons!

I've recently started playing on Wyrmrest Accord, and I've been finding the roleplay scene to be so much nicer than pve! There is so little stress to get your toons geared up to raid in a week, like there is on pve servers. I like taking my time, playing with guildies, fine-tuning my toon's backstory, that sort of thing.Wyrmrest has been so welcoming and it doesn't have that creepy Moon Guard vibe that gives that server its bad name. I've only had my horde toon hit on once, and she swiftly threatened to shove her hoof through the poor undead's skull for talking so disrespectfully to her. Tauren warriors, you know? Especially Tauren warriors who are former gladiators. No patience. None.

Because storytime is always awesome. Especially with a Treant!

Meet Bahunada Darkhide, my little level 23 Fury Warrior. She is a former Grimtotem who left her tribe after Magatha's betrayal, which led to the death of Cairne Bloodhoof. Wandering tribeless for a long time and very angry, she was surrounded and almost overwhelmed by Quilboar and trying to fight them off with her bare fists when Alek'togia Ashmane, a Bluffwatcher from Thunder Bluff, found her. She offered to train Bahunada, and she took the guard up on her offer. She still has much to learn about patience and definitely needs to learn how to hold her tongue around the orcs and goblins of Orgrimmar, but she's quickly learning the way of a true warrior. In her early days, she proved herself to the Tauren by cleansing their wells of any Grimtotem corruption (and she may have gleefully slaughtered a few of her former tribe members along the way). She was fully accepted by the Ragetotem tribe when she completed her trials to become a warrior, and she eagerly followed her mentor to Orgrimmar to hone her training. Along the way, she learned how to scout out mineral veins and craft her own armor and weapons, a skill she had wanted ever since her days with the Grimtotem since she had to fight for every piece of armor or sword she used. Recently, she and Alek have joined a revolution of sorts in an attempt to spread the word to others that the Horde is not just full of bloodthirsty killers or crafty, polluting goblins.

Not Yu'jane, but she IS one of my Pandaren Priests. Plus this is an awesome picture.

Then there's Yu'jane Pureblossom, my Pandaren Priest. She started life as a farmgirl on the Dai-Lo Farmstead until she discovered she had the power to heal. She didn't know what the power was or where it came from, but she was offered the chance to hone her craft at Master Shang Xi's academy. While studying, she learned of the Lorewalkers of the Wandering Isle, and she learned how to read and write, along with discovering she had a voracious appetite for stories and history. The Lorewalkers taught her how to mill herbs and make ink, and she became a scribe for them, taking down stories as they were told. When Shen-zin Su was injured by the Allaince Airship, her training in the healing arts was ramped up. She was paired up with a young monk named Fan'jian, and they learned how to work well with each other. He fought and she healed, and together they discovered the Alliance and Horde in the Pei-Wu Forest. After saving Shen-zin Su, she and Fan decided to travel with the Huojin to Orgrimmar. Their arrival to the city was less than a welcome one. To Yu'jane, Garrosh Hellscream was rude, condescending, and just a little too loud for the meek Lorewalker. Then there was his "gift," a battle with three strange and dangerous beasts, and she did her best to protect Ji Firepaw and herself from Gronn, Magnataur, and Ettin.After meeting up with Fan'jian in Thunder Bluff, she realized that the Horde wasn't entirely about the glory of battle. She rather likes the Tauren and their ideals, finding them on par with how she was raised back in Dai-Lo. Perhaps Yu'jane will be coaxed to join this revolution, and maybe it will make her feel better about her choice to join the Huojin and the Horde.

I have a few more RP toons on WA, but I don't have their stories completely fleshed out yet. Especially my insane Forsaken Warlock. All I know is that she's batcrap crazy, has a fierce devotion to the Dark Lady, and was a Mage of the Kirin Tor in life, before Arthas slaughtered most of the city and then Archimonde went all HULK SMASH on it. Plus I don't have screencaps for them all yet.
