Ranburu Jagensyn & Violetta Clairluce ------Engaged on Little Ladies Day------

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

Could you talk about how Chopper’s “Rumble Ball” translates? It’s a rather odd word, so I was wondering what it looked like in the original. I love your blog!

It’s actually a direct transliteration!

In Japanese, they’re called ランブルボール/ranburu bōru, so just the English words ‘Rumble Ball’ written in Japanese! So you can probably just put any unnaturalness of the word choice down to the fact that Oda isn’t fluent in English, and picked something that sounded cool, which is super valid of him.

Overdue Letter back Home

Dearest Ranburu,

Brother of my heart I concede, you win and you’ll get your gil next we meet. Hows ‘bout we bet on something you’re utter swill at next round huh? Fairs fair!

Lack of letters aside, I’ve got a plan for me n’ you. Don’t you roll your eyes either you’ll like this one! When I received my duties, and got meself settled, I figured out requests for puttin’ some time in for sabbaticals ‘n the like. Know what I did right off? Put in for three weeks during marlin season. Apparently it’s the first request they got ‘cause it just got approved. So you know what that means?! Get started on that bloody boat! Unless you really have a hankerin’ for gettin stuck with dad’s oyster rig for three weeks. Maybe bring along Vyelroix to the shipyard so you’ll actually do it? You know she can’t rightfully resist seeing you sweat. (Ugh, wish I had the time to make a new letter. Can’t believe I jus’ wrote that.) Oh! But she aint comin’. This is a sibling thing. I already wake up enough here at the levy to creaking bedframes and twelve fathoms what else!

Anyway Ran, you know I prefer to actually talk talk ‘bout work. Along with bait or beer to keep me mind steady. But, at this point, ‘guess it’d be real cruel not to write somethin about how it’s been here in Limsa proper. Especially with ma and dad expectin’ you to be the first I write to. I’ve been assigned provisional duty with the 1st squadron, 9th levy. Which is choppin’ up to be supplier, glorified emergency repairmen, and rotating barkeep durin’ slow hours. (Yeah, there’s a bar at the levy and no ye can’t know where it’s at big guy!) So, honestly? Not so bad. But me head’s still spinnin’ with the constant work. Daily there’s veritable tonz of orders to send, receive and divvy out and apparently things go missin’ as often in the Maelstrom as they did in the ‘Jacket. Speakin o the ‘Jacket; I’ve Aleport’s late Ostulmsyn’s bleedin son to answer to directly as Commander! Small isle eh? You should tell Illswys that ‘lil tidbit. Wait - no scratch that I’m sure she already knows. Hells, Miss Gossip probably knew that even ‘fore I was assigned.

Bah, sod it, that’s all I have time for big brother. Send me some letters back if you’re wantin’ to know about anything specific. I can promise I won’t take as long next time. Maybe.

-Sarah

Repost || Don’t reblog

NAME: Ranburu FULL TITLE: n/a AGE: 26 ((I don’t really have his timeline sorted out, so we’re going with how old he’d probably be after Legion. Probably. Sorry.)) SPECIES: Darkspear Troll GENDER: Male ORIENTATION: Heterosexual PROFESSION: Farmer. Druid. RELIGION: Worships the loa. (Is not as devout as he probably should be.)

PHYSICAL ASPECTS -

BODY TYPE: Very obese. SCARS/BIRTHMARKS: On his upper chest/shoulder area there is a scar on both sides. EYES: Orange. HAIR: Bright red that he styles into mohawk. Doesn’t always keep the sides shaved. Maintains robust sideburns. SKIN: Blue, with a thin coating of fur. ((fite me)) HEIGHT: 8′1 when standing straight. WEIGHT: ~400-500lb human. I don’t know how much trolls are supposed to weigh, so it’s hard to estimate his weight. If you take 300lbs as a starting point for the average adult male troll, he’d be... 750-930lbs? Gah, I dunno. ((Also Ranburu has just been getting larger and larger. So. >_>)) 

FAMILY -

SPOUSE: Vyel’thas.  CHILD(REN): Azuli, Junundo. (Later, Jeniv and at least one more...) SIBLINGS: None. He’s an only child. PARENTS: Shala (mother) and Bettalu (father). PETS: Zo. (His raptor growing up.)

SKILLS -

PHYSICAL PROWESS: Decently strong, knows how to throw his weight around. Better at brawling and wrestling than using weapons. As a druid, favors bear form. INTELLIGENCE: Average spellcaster. Not illiterate, but not a very proficient reader nor with great penmanship. He’s a kinesthetic learner and is good as grasping concepts quickly.  LANGUAGES: Zandali, Orcish, Common. Knows a smattering of both Darnassian and Thalassian, but can’t speak it.

LIKES

COLOURS: Too many to list. He likes chromatic, striking colors. SMELLS: His mate, Vyel’thas. The ocean. Moonglade. Catching the scent of almost any food being prepared. FOOD: Many types of food in large quantities. Fried food. Desserts, particularly donuts and pastries. Carb-dense comfort food. Dumplings and other Pandaren cuisine. Seafood - one of his favorites being shark. DRINKS: Kaja-cola, beer, milkshakes.

OTHER DETAILS

SMOKES: Yes. He has a pipe and likes to smoke various tobacco and plants. DRUGS: Ones he can smoke. Sticks to basically Azeroth versions of marijuana and peyote. DRIVER LICENSE: He can ride raptors, and drive a yak-pulled cart. He very much wants a motorcycle. FAVOURITE QUOTE: ((Honestly, I can’t think of anything.)) THEME MUSIC: Lost from Catherine OST. The mood of the music rather than any thematic connection with the game it’s from. ((I’ve never been very good at picking songs for characters or scenes. My musical repertoire is pretty small.))

Saw this from @leahdarkspear and thought it would be fun!

Favorite artist: Nolithiel Highspire (he commissioned saucy art from her)

Favorite scents: The seashore on a hot day. The forests surrounding Moonglade. The interior of his home. His mate, especially after naughty times. Walking inside a bakery and taking a deep breath. Fried foods. (I could just put “food being prepared for him to eat” and it could all apply.)

Favorite person(s): Vyel’thas is his wife, life-mate and best friend. Their children, Azuli, Junundo and Jeniv. Fellow druid Jaspern and his family Veris and little Iomey. Drinking buddies Mynol’thas and Tubstout. Aushe Selakire, baker extraordinaire - though she scares him sometimes. Zintwabanai, to whom he owes his life.

Randoms –

Ten facts about your muse:

He is an absolute sucker for goblin-made knick-knacks and appliances. He’s an easy target to swindle. He’s proudly displayed tat he purchased from Griftah. 

When walking, Ranburu is drawn up to his full height. His belly is much too large for him to walk with a natural troll slouch without falling forward.

Ranburu absolutely loves holidays. His favorite is Winter Veil. He loves visiting friends and family, he loves the decorations, and he loves the food. The more, the better.

He enjoys buying “nice outfits”, which generally translates to ugly or gaudy clothes that don’t fit him quite right. Button down shirts are the most common. 

Belly rubs put him right to sleep.

Ranburu sports a scar from a mortal wound from being run through by a nasty Gurubashi troll named Djinambo. Luckily, his friend Zintwabanai was able to use blood magic and bring him back from the brink of death.  

As any self-respecting jungle troll should, he despises birds. Very early on in his friendship with Vyel’thas, he mistook her pet bird for a simple nuisance and snapped it up for a snack.

The only time Ranburu has worn body paint is when he married Vye. They had a traditional troll marriage.

It’s been some time since he’s been able to do it, but one of the only physical activities he enjoys is he’ethraze. He’s actually hesitant to try and surf again because he’s gotten so heavy since the last time he got on his board.

Ranburu is incredibly proud of his son Azuli for taking so druidism so naturally, and hopes that he will far surpass Ranburu’s knowledge in the art. 

Five Things -

Things they like: - Napping in the sunlight.

- Fishing.

- Being spoiled by Vye.

- Teasing his friends.

- Seeing his children happy.

Things they dislike: - Outgrowing clothes. (Or furniture. Or doorways.)

- Waking up early.

- Having to scold or punish his children when they misbehave.

- Not living up to others’ expectations.

- Undead in all their forms really bother Ranburu. With his druidic nature they just feel wrong. He also very much dislikes orcs, elvish snobbery and other troll tribes. 

Good habits: - Stays in good humor, usually has a smile on his face.

- Compassionate towards others and is always ready to offer a hug.

- Dedicates time to work in the garden and tend to the plants every day.

- When the kids are still living in the house, he always takes the time to wish them good night.

- Is a very devoted husband. He dotes on Vye and compliments her daily. Spoiling her is part of expressing his love.

Bad Habits: - Tends to be very possessive of Vye and overprotective of his family.

- Brags, especially about his sexual prowess. This is usually uninvited. 

- Compulsively overeats. Starts to panic if he gets too hungry.

- While he is very kind, Ranburu can also be inconsiderate and selfish.

- Can’t trust him with money, he spends it like water.

Personalities they gravitate toward: - Laid back people he can smoke chill with.

- Alternatively, he’s even more so drawn to Type A personalities.

- People who highly value their family - whether by blood or bond.

- Admires those with leadership skills (he does not consider someone who rules through fear to be a leader, however).

- An exterior that belies a gentle or compassionate heart. They might not always show it, but they are tender souls.

Personality types they avoid:

- Aggressiveness. (He doesn’t have any orc friends to speak of.)

- Arrogant, prideful braggarts.

- Petty gossipers.

- Deceitfulness.

- Those who’d rather give condescending advice to “get over it” or “calm down” rather than lend a shoulder.

Fears:

- Claustrophobic.

- Losing someone close to him, particularly by dying a painful death. This runs very deep. 

- His own death. The pain in the moments leading up to it. Dying alone and leaving his family behind. Being forgotten after he is dead. Being replaced.

- Ranburu has moments of intense insecurity about his marriage because he is terrified one day Vye will wake up and realize she could do so much better than him. He fears he is inadequate for her in just about every way; that he is fat and ugly, leads an unremarkable life, unsatisfactory in bed, stupid, not particularly talented at anything and that his lack of ambition makes him static and boring.

- The future of his tribe. Ranburu almost lost his father when the Kor’kron put Darkspear Isle under martial law. He does not feel the Darkspear are particularly safe being allied with the Horde, but without it, they will be wiped from history. After the loss of his Chieftain, he is more scared than ever.

Ranburu, as he appears in Shadowrun! Easily one of my favorite AUs. :]

(Artist requested no link)

[tubbytroll]

So who is your Decker character exactly and how is he built? I'm interested in hearing about him.

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

I actually have never built Ranburu - I don’t have a Shadowrun game I’m playing in or GMing unfortunately. I’ve been wanting to play for about 9 years but so far I’ve only played a Mission at a local convention. I haven’t dug too deep into the rules, and at this point I’d probably be more inclined to run/play Anarchy for something less crunchy. (I GM Pathfinder and it can be so tiring, haha). Sorry if that’s disappointing!

He was actually the first idea for a Shadowrun character I had - a tubby, nerdy troll decker who was born to a human family and goblinized. (I know some people get upset when you play drastically against type, but as far as I know I’ve avoided the lore police.) 

Over time Ran has definitely morphed into something else entirely. I introduced my roommate and RP partner to tabletop gaming and of course Shadowrun. We decided it would be fun to take our characters we RP from World of Warcraft and port them over to Shadowrun. It’s funny actually. The original concept I had of my Shadowrun character had inspired my Darkspear troll when I started roleplaying him in WoW. Ranburu really became a character and not just an idea. In turn, when my roommate and I decided it would be fun to have an alternate universe of our WoW characters in Shadowrun, Ranburu returned to his roots.

[tubbytroll]

A “sequel” of sorts to my previous Shadowrun Ranburu here.

I heard once you enter a stable relationship a lot of people get a bit pudgier. Well, most metahumans don’t have a girlfriend like Ran does who treats him very frequently. 

It’s doubtful measurements for these clothes were correct to begin with.
