#Falmarin Tempestwake

[lowell-moonguard]

Thinking about how Falmarin is still so scared of herself that she doesn’t trust herself to be asleep around others, lest of all her wife, unless there’s another Illidari awake nearby. 

She’ll lay there for as long as it takes for her wife to fall asleep before she gets up and goes somewhere else to sleep, even if it means that she’ll only get a few hours or even minutes of sleep that night. 

She’s so afraid that she’s going to do something to the people she loves, either by accident or because she loses herself if even for a moment.

[OOC] Intro Post!

Hi there! I decided in an effort to try to help get some art practice into me I wanted to try to do an old 2015 tumblr style ask blog for my wow oc, Falmarin Tempestwake.

I work full time, and I do play/rp WoW in my off hours which I don’t currently have a lot of. So I will try to get to as many things as I can when I can get to them!

This is art that I commissioned of her from @taldoren, so this is what she looks like!

[Img Description: A elven figure that has been mutated to have horns, wings, and clawed digigrade foot. There’s a front view, back view, and a bust of her with a small pendant as she’s flashing her fangs at someone in a laugh. Her outfit is green and black, with her jacket being lighter in color than her pants. End description.]

Thinking about how Falmarin has such deep seeded issues with Elune now. She lost everything when the Legion turned part of Ashenvale into Felwood. 

She still had faith during the Outland Campaign

She still had faith during the final push against the Legion. 

But each time it waned. The worldly events kept chipping away at her faith in her people’s goddess. 

When Teldrassil burned that was the last bit of faith in Elune she had. The last moment she could believe that her people’s goddess was going to protect them, to help them, to do anything. 

She lost everything twice. She had nothing to sacrifice when she became a Demon Hunter, and grew to hate that phrase when her kin would use it. She’s never seen or heard from anyone from her home since. 

She honestly and truly feels like Elune has abandoned her. Abandoned her people. After sailing for a while, she found faith in the Tidemother. 

Because the Tidemother doesn’t promise everything. The Tidemother is open about how dangerous she is, how she will sink you just as any other if you get cause in her wake.

Wip of the icon that I’m drawing for Falmarin’s IC blog. All in the attempt to push myself into doing art more often. Its @currentnuisance

[Img description: A screenshot of Procreate with two images next to each other. One a white canvas with a sketchy horned figure, she is of elvish origin and is wearing an ornate blindfold. The second image is in Procreate’s Reference window, the same figure depicted drawn in someone else’s style. End description.]

Call for RP Contacts

Heya there! I’m trying to reach out to folks to hopefully find some more RP contacts for my characters. My work hours make it really hard for me to really do it in-game given that most people are in bed by the time I walk in the door and due to the amount of bigotry I’ve faced in the past for my queer characters, its made me somewhat afraid to try again. 

I am not available during the daylight hours (MG Time), I work 2nd shift at my job and am home at the earliest of 2am monday-friday. Often times I can be home even later (4:30am mon-thurs and 6am fri). Aside from raiding on Saturday I am generally free on the weeknds. All characters are on Moon Guard.

What I am Not comfortable with

Overly flirty characters: This is mostly because I’ve had bad experiences in the past with people who tend to lean really hard on very sexual and/or flirty characters. I don’t mind the occasional thing, but if its very constant I don’t think we’re going to be a good match. 

Romance RP: I’m not currently looking for romance rp. If we click and it looks like something that might come up between us, it can be a conversation that happens then.

ERP/Erotic Roleplay: I am an adult, but these are not the adult themes I want to explore.

Erasure of my characters canonical disabilities: If your healer character has the power to “fix” their disabilities, then this not something that I’m willing to entertain. Magic doesn’t mean that disability is gone, but that the definition of disability is different and has a completely different context within the various societies of Azeroth. And even ones that are disabilities in all contexts isn’t something to just be waved away with magic as that carries some very problematic ideas towards what its like to be disabled.

Themes I’d like to explore

This is not an exhaustive list! I’m open to others and discussions!

Rebuilding of Trust: Slowly rebuilding one’s trust in others, a concept, or something else! Trust is an easy thing to shatter and very difficult to fix. Especially if it was the fault of someone who isn’t even still alive.

Finding your place in a world that’s moved on without you: Time might have stopped for you, but the world did not. Coming out into the world decades behind at best is jarring and finding your place is difficult when everything’s changed

Neurodivergence and disability within a world with magical accommodations

Grief and magically altered memory: How does one mourn when the person isn’t allowed to be remembered? How does one cope when someone else decided to tweak details of one’s memories for their own gain? How does one cope with magically induced amnesia, built up from a mistake when they desperately want to remember?

Please note that while I am separating them by faction, its mostly to sort them as blizzard does.

Alliance Characters

Lowell Wyther

In-Game Name: Lowell

Worgen Harvest Witch

Age: 25

Gender: Nonbinary

Pronouns: they/them

Faction: Night Elf

Bio: What is effectively a feral child being drug kicking and screaming back into the lucid world Lowell has struggled to adjust to life as an actual person with responsibilities. They deal with the curse about as well as one can expect, but are alienated from their peers. A fact that’s only gotten worse since the burning of Teldrassil which nearly took their life. Having no loyalty to the Gilnean royalty, and what little faith they had in the Alliance Leadership shattered. Lowell has found that hoping that someone swoops in to save them is the quickest way to die, and is of the opinion that that there is no one who is coming to save you.

Muirín Battledirge

In-Game Name: Battledirge

Dark Iron Dwarf Shaman

Age: 235

Gender: Genderfluid

Pronouns: any/all

Faction: Neutral

Bio: Growing up and surviving Azeroth makes anyone jaded and cynical. Muirín is no exception. However she instead of wallowing in her misery and self-pity she takes it upon herself find the joy in life. The sweet before the bitter takes hold. To laugh, and sing, and find company with her comrades before the next apocalypse. Once the dust settles and the fires are put out, she takes up her violin and starts taking down the names of the dead, adding them to her music in the hope that they are remembered. 

Falmarin Tempestwake

In-Game Name: Falmarin

Night Elf Demon Hunter

Age: Adult

Gender: Bigender (woman/agender)

Pronouns: she/they

Faction: Neutral, Night Elf leaning

Bio: Falmarin’s origins are similar to many Kaldorei that followed Illidan’s path. The Legion came, they lost everything, and they made their choice. She, however, didn’t really expect to make it past their victory. Now a few years after the Legion’s defeat she’s found herself with little purpose, and little reason to live. Naturally she became a pirate with her close friend from the Illidari. 

Horde Characters

Vansia Dessuphis

In-Game Name: Vansia

Nightborne Monk

Age: 5,000

Gender: ???

Pronouns: he/they

Faction: Neutral

Bio: Spending his life under the “safety” of the bubble Vansia scraped but only just barely. Working as a courier and inscriptionist he raced through Suramar before and during the rebellion, using these skills to aid the Dusklily. Today he is a student at Tian Monastery, learning the healing arts and learning to heal from his own trauma.

Erynion Desrosiers

In-Game Name: Erynion

Nightborne Grove-Tender

Age: 485

Gender: ???

Pronouns: he/they

Faction: Neutral, Horde Citizen

Bio: Unlike his peers, Ery struggled to learn magic as taught. It wasn’t that he was incapable of magic, it was that the approach was wrong. As a result he’s leagues behind where he should be for an elf his age. What he lacks in teaching he makes up for in enthusiasm, as once he found his love of flora nothing could keep him from it, even caring for the plant life of Suramar by hand without magic until someone pulled him aside to teach him just enough to be useful.

Vothaeu LaChance

In-Game Name: Vothaeu

Nightborne Caretaker

Age: 26

Gender: Questioning 

Pronouns: She/her

Faction: Neutral, Horde Citizen

Specializing in their care as well as their retrieval she spends her shifts either taking care of the ones that have already been rescued, or diving deep into the ruins of Suramar to find others who the city had failed. Excited about the world she longs to find adventure beyond Suramar but her heart can’t bare to be away from home long.
