I am having so much fun with warbands feature, and of course grouped almost all of my toons the other evening. Lore dump INCOMING and also some fun personality tidbits.
In our first grouping we have the group that is essentially the main hub/trunk of my personal WoW toon canon, and holds everyone else together. And also the mains I tend to cycle through each Xpack. They are also the tightest knit group amongst each other, and tend to adventure together. Meri & Nic have been connected in my head the longest, friends since day one. In their timeline, they first meet around the end of Wrath/just before the death of Arthas (when Meri first started adventuring). Lereith was the next to be a main feature, joining Meri & Nic during WoD (they met during the opening scenario). Cesaelia ofc is a Legion addition, and is part of Meri's polycule with Lilit, and the sister of Keleion who is besties with Nicolet (they met during Death Knight days). Because they adventure together often, they are all very close, and often exchange correspondence when not together. Though if you had to ask, no one can actually tell you how or why Lereith became a beloved part of the group, but she just tends to randomly decide she likes people and no one questions it. She and Cesaelia didn't actually interact a ton, but Lereith absolutely sends her letters like she does Nic & Meri (and Cesaelia cherishes them because how can you not)
When it comes to the main Alliance crew, these four tend to be the secondary part of the group, most commonly meeting with Meri, Nic, or Lereith. Lori is Lereith's friend and girl friend, and had known Meri as an acquaintance prior to that. Lilit, similarly, is the other part of Meri's polycule, but there has been some distance when she kind of fucked off to feel feelings a bit after the end of Legion. Technically Solik was first connected to Meri very loosely (at the BEGINNING of Legion), but has since maintained relations with the group for the sole purpose of trying to convince Nicolet and Lilit that they are, in fact, going too far in their unrighteous methods, and why would they have ever turned to Fel magic and Blood Death Knight-ism???? (Also she admires Meri.) This is extremely funny to Lilit, who spends all of her time scandalizing Solik with tales of her less than savory dealings. Which brings in Ilcynna, the Old as Fuck Lightforged who has seen some shit and doesn't really care about methods when you're working for the same goal. Ilcynna has a fondness for Solik as much as she enjoys watching Lilit cause her great scandal, and has stayed for the free entertainment. (Solik has yet to understand that they are in fact joking with her half the time, but it is all in good fun)
Honorary shoutout of course goes to Keleion, who would be part of the Main Crew if there could be 5 toons, but who also insisted on being with his Harem of Men. (Or, the only 4 toons with male framed bodies in my arsenal.) Keleion, as mentioned above, is Nic's friend from their Death Knight days, is Cesaelia's older brother, and is Meri's bestest arch Frenemy. (They have ALSO known each other since Meri met Nic, when Meri was a lot more.... against the Horde.) Relanthis is Kel's reclusive childhood friend slash boyfriend(?) slash don't ask they're not explaining. Rel does not like many other people that are not Kel. Kel met Drel'kazarn (Drel) and... immediately slept with him, and they've been fuckbuddies ever since. Since Kel collects just about any man who will sleep with other men, he also picked up Xitalazin somewhere along the way, and has recruited him to the crew. Xitalazin is shy and not a fuckbuddy.... yet.
When I get screencaps the rest of the groupings, I'll chat about the other branches of the web. For now these are kind of the main 3 jumping off points I work with when plotting out relationships. (I say, like they don't periodically just tell me shit about themselves I should have known. They are wild like that.)
