Yeva has talbuks. A whole stable, three or four --

They're named after gems.

She likes buying them, training them, riding them -- she rides them hard, she's put down more than one for broken legs.

She braids their beards, bejewels their ruffs, wire-wraps their horns in gold, they are

pristine, well-fed, glossy like her.

I'm pretty new to RP. In your time of RPing, has anyone written some good drug headcanon? Do cigarettes exist?

I haven’t heard of any good drug headcanons, but I’ve seen a lot of RPs where people were smoking, either cigarettes or cigars and even pipes, so there must be some kind of tobacco-like herb used around Azeroth, if they use tobacco at all. Maybe another kind of herb is being smoked instead. I know blood elves tend to smoke bloodthistle, and the plant seems to have similar properties as cannabis (marijuana).

There’s a lot of herbs out there that could be dried and used for smoking, like perhaps the mild peacebloom or the stronger deadnettle. Also, some herbs have real-life counterparts that are used a drugs, such as ghost mushrooms and fools caps, which likely contain hallucinogenic properties, and rain poppy. Poppies are the source of the crude drug opium, the principal precursor of narcotic and analgesic opiates such as morphine, heroin and codeine. 

So, yes, I’d say cigarettes do exist, as do many other types of smoking rolls, and drugs can be created from all kinds of natural components found in Azeroth.

The Kamil te Kar had a WEALTH of drug headcanon, yo. A WEALTH. I’ll share the ones I feel comfortable allowing other people to use, since I wrote them. A lot of them were proprietary, as in, the Kamil developed and sold them as a part of the storyline, which means if your character has come in contact with them, it started with the Kamil. But here you go:

Roth - A drug with no good analog in real life. The Kamil sold it, but we played this as a widely-available street drug. Stimulant, produces feelings of strength, invincibility, numbness to pain. Generally used by soldiers, thugs, dockworkers, other people in manual labor. The high lasts for three-four hours, and can be “re-upped” by taking another tablet, but prolonged use will result in exhaustion. Dose changes based on body weight. Comes in tablet form. Overdose similar to a coke overdose. The drug has been around for a while; the name has over the years been shortened from its original (and no doubt alchemical) moniker, Mannoroth’s Rage. Users are easier to anger and prolonged use will lessen even sober control of temper, much like steroids. More psychologically addictive than physical. Withdrawals include itching and irritation, but only take a couple days.

Banje - still being produced by my character in Elwynn. He’ll sell to Horde or Alliance. Probably also being produced by trolls in Stranglethorn. Closest real-life analog is MDMA. Euphoric, produces feelings of happiness, pleasure, easy distraction, and extreme tactile sensitivity. Used as a religious aid in Stranglethorn, developed and sold for recreational use by the Kamil. Comes as a superfine shiny black powder which must be steeped in hot water before being strained, cooled, and either drunk or injected. High lasts for 2-3 hours and cannot be refreshed with another dose. Dose is not affected by body weight. Overdose results in vomiting, touch sensitivity turning to pain, convulsions, but rarely death.

Banje has a characteristic and unavoidable “hangover” which many users feel compelled to sleep off; there is a normal period of about half an hour as the high wears off, and then the hangover sets in for an hour or two. Users under the effect of the hangover feel dissociated and melancholy.

Prolonged use of banje (a year or more of regular use) results in a distinct unsteadiness in the hands and reduced fine motor function. This will only get worse with more use, and will not correct itself with time and sobriety. Users experiencing this symptom find their symptoms are alleviated when they use; this, combined with the general euphoria and the chemically addictive properties of the drug, make it a dangerously addictive substance. Withdrawals can start after four or five regularly-spaced doses. The withdrawal process takes up to two weeks, and withdrawing users feel varying degrees of chronic pain, light sensitivity and nausea.

Burn - a rough waste product of the banje-making process, burn is a concentrated, fawn-colored liquid. It is sold in one-ounce vials. Dose does not change based on body size. Burn is ingested, and takes its name from the intensely acidic taste/feel. Two doses will result in rapidly escalating overdose ending in convulsions and coma, with death occuring for secondary reasons; because of this, many dealers will only sell one at a time.

Burn is an intense drug, taking the euphoria of banje and pushing it further to break the boundary to hallucinogenic properties. Users generally find a comfortable place in which to use since it is almost guaranteed they will fall if they are standing, or lie back if they are sitting. The high lasts for 15-20 minutes, during which the user experiences intense sensory hallucinations and often feels entirely transported from their current location. Immediately afterwards, strong fatigue and dissociation sets in, prompting many users to sleep for 4-6 hours.

Though burn is as chemically addictive as banje, its effects are less appealing to a wide number of people. Because it is considerably more concentrated, the compounds responsible for the shakes act more quickly and symptoms can appear within 6 months if use is regular. Damage to the vocal cords is also common, and habitual burn users will vary from a full-voiced rasp to a hoarse whisper depending on length and severity of use.

-----

Those are the ones I've written and can remember off the top of my head. Other Kamil, feel free to add anything you feel comfortable with other people playing. We also used many straight WoW herbs as analogs for real-life substances like isei-silva mentioned, and hand-rolled tobacco was huge. BE CREATIVE.

And remember, kids: RPing drugs can be an interesting character point, but every single drug has a downside (they're POISONS that's why they get you HIGH), your character will probably not see unicorns and purple monkeys or whatever the fuck, and the reality of it is almost always messy and unglamorous -- for example, everyone that takes mescaline is gonna puke their guts out for 30 minutes to an hour before they go on their grand hallucinogen adventure. Play the downsides; they're an unavoidable part of the experience.

Description - Yeva

Carefully made up.

That's the easiest way to describe her. Attention has been paid to every piece of her presentation. Though styled differently from day to day, her auburn hair -- surely that color isn't natural? -- is always shining and curled just so. Each surface has been detailed: earrings, horn wraps, hoof ink, multiple rings and bracelets, layered necklaces, contoured cosmetics, and it seems like the only constants are an abundance of hair and an abundance of jewelry. Her clothes are cut finely and she moves in such a graceful, feminine way that it's easy to forget she must be thinking about every movement, every pose, each time she does it.

Carefully made up.

Her voice is high and light, her laugh never too loud; she could be a model or a host or a courtesan, but one gets the feeling she doesn't work. She smells of perfumes, just enough. Her hands are cold, moisturized but dry.

Carefully made up.

ALRIGHT so any Kamil old guard would likely be familiar with the existence of Yeva and Sobaru's parents, who are still alive in WoD timeline. Their mother's name is Gohar and their father's name is Kouros.

Sobaru took over the family from Kouros when he was ready, but it's rumored (and it's the kind of rumor that's as good as fact) that Gohar was the real brains and driving force behind the entire operation for many years; Kouros was nothing more than an obedient mouthpiece. Some see this as a weakness of character; others, that Kouros simply didn't care as much as Gohar did. The opinions of their children are not known, and aren't likely to be: the matter is the sort of thing where you don't want the fact that you're discussing the topic to get around to the wrong ears.

Now that Sobaru is in charge, Gohar and Kouros now live in comfortable retirement. Kouros busies himself with hobbies, and Baba Gohar is just an old woman. That's the party line and you better toe it.
