30. What inspires you to not just make art, but to be a better artist?

Wanting to create and tell better stories! :D

How is Moon Guard as a realm Horde-side? I keep dipping back to my old haunt, Maelstrom, and it's always so utterly toxic of a community. I mean what kind of RP realm actively hunts down and chases out its RPers?

Moon Guard has been, so far, very friendly to me! But - BUT - I haven’t actively sought out any RP yet. 

A good friend of mine is a pretty hardcore RPer; I can ask her what the scene is like! From what I remember, Moon Guard, Earthen Ring and Wyrmrest Accord have active, and generally nice RP communities, but you’ll always find bad apples.

Good luck! o/

In front of the bar in Orgrimmar, a blood elf man in pressed robes stood in the middle of the doorway, shoes lined up with the edge of the door frame, barely escaping the burst of rain just finishing. His slight turning of the head mirrored the twitchy motion of a nervous parakeet. His eyes darted along the street covered in muddy puddles potentially full of disease. Glancing back, he cringed at the thought of going in and -mingling- in an -orcish bar-. He started weighing the choices.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by “RP ask.” It’s more like questions you had for the team IC, not RP prompts. Sorry!

Touching moment: Imagine Saurfang meeting younger, kid version of his son Dranosh on Draenor, crying over the grave of his dad, who, unlike our Saurfang, got killed. Reaction?

I…don’t quite understand what you mean by this.

(nature's) Wrath?

Cadistra - Despite being quite gentle and kind, Cadistra has a vicious temper. She’s very slow to anger; she’s not on a hair-trigger, but once you tip the scales she’s terrifying to behold. She’s always been like that, and her parents - who are druids themselves and encouraged her into it* - felt that channeling that anger would benefit the feral spirit. Years later, she stuck with it, and sure enough - communing with the feral spirits of nature was the healthiest outlet she had, and uses that as a source of strength to fight for those she loves and the lands she wants to protect.

Kissless - Kissless has the ability to be terrifying, but is actually a pretty easy-going lady on her own. She gets angry, yes, and she does tend to lose herself in the heat of battle (power can be intoxicating that way) but very little will make her blinded by anger. For her, the most useful anger is a righteous anger, and it takes a few precise button-pushes to get there.

Kama - Harming innocents. Kama gets along really well with mortal children; he appreciates their innocence and ability to look forward to every new day as something to cherish. For someone to come and deprive those children of those chances, of those fresh days and happy sunrises…well. Dragons aren’t fun to be around when they’re angry.

*For the record, Cadi’s parents - Quana and Sihu - didn’t “push” her into druidism. They were both druids themselves, and while a young Cadi dabbled in shamanism, she took to druidism more, so naturally her parents supported her.

Pride

Cadistra - She’s quite polite and shy, and doesn’t really thinking bragging about stuff is very…well…druidic, but she is proud of the progress she’s made with her shapeshifting..!

Kissless - How she wields the light. She went from a simpering spoiled young woman to a fierce, confident paladin. She worked damn hard for it and she has no problem letting you know it!

Kama - He is a dragon. That’s pretty cool, right?

Violence! :D

Did you mean “wrath?” :V

I vote for envy.

Cadistra - She’s secretly jealous of Kissless’ confidence. Cadi doubts herself a lot, and she wishes desperately that she could be as internally strong as Kissless. Also, she’s sometimes envious of the elfs’ slight stature - especially in more cross-faction cities which cater to more human-sized races, she gets really paranoid about sitting on certain furniture and the like. 

Kissless - Kissless secretly desires security. She lived in a blissful little bubble in Silvermoon, and sometimes yearns for the simpler times when she didn’t have to fight for every. Single. Thing.

Kama - He envies “simple” mortal races. As a member of the bronze dragonflight, knowing the past, present and future is overwhelming and draining. He looks at farmers, shopkeepers and other labourers, and sees that their chief worries are keeping food on the table and paying land taxes. That’s it. He wishes he could have things that “easy.”
