Fahn
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 5:10 am
(IC) What name or title do you go by?
-Fahn Silversheaf Dawnstar, or Magistrix Fahn. Depending on if one was ever a student of mine. I prefer not to be called by my Dawnstar name, my maiden name Silversheaf will do.
Or even Fahn, if so inclined, and not a pupil of mine. I've heard some refer to me as the Ghost-Bride, but that is neither a self-appointed name, nor a self-appointed title. And to be honest,
sounds a bit melodramatic, yes?
(IC) What is your gender and race?
-Female of gender, and Sin'Dorei by race.
(IC) What is your class in life? Why did you choose to follow this class?
-I was a professor. My fields of specialty were the frost and arcane disciplines of magic. Growing up in Dalaran, I was found to have some ability in manipulating and controlling the elements. I was certainly no prodigy, but I understood the principles well, and was able to impress several of my teachers with my ability. One such instructor kept my adoration for several years, and inspired me to try my best in all situations. She was killed when Arthas sacked Dalaran. I want my pupils to regard me as I regarded her.
(IC) How would you describe yourself?
-Hmm, self-reflection is not my strong suit, but I will try. I would say that I'm of average height and weight for an elf, typically dress for utility, fair complexion and red hair. Oh, you meant more than physically, I suppose. Well, I am told that I can be awkward socially, and especially so recently. I do not anger quickly anymore, and have not really spoken to many people at all in the last year. I don't mind being locked in a room with volumes that I have never read. There's not much too me, I suppose.
(IC) How many "Honorable" Kills do the Battlemasters currently have recorded for you?
-3350. Almost all of that has been recent. My pose before that time was to stay out of the conflict.
(IC) What drives you in life? How would the Grim benefit from having you among its ranks?
-My husband drives me. And my father. My father was a moderately ranked ranger in the corps of Silvermoon, and was called to the gates when they were attacked by the Mad Prince. My husband was a Bloodknight of Silvermoon before he was killed by our daughter. I've spent the last year locked in my apartment in Silvermoon grieving for my husband when I realized that grieving for him would not bring him back. Nothing can, as far as I know. So the best I could do for him is get revenge. The humans bred the Mad Prince that killed my father. They betrayed our whole race not once, but twice. It was a human that took my daughter as a pupil of the dark arts, changing her into a vile warlock. The fledgling race of the world will be the cause of it's undoing, and we have helped them. If not for the Elves, the humans would have been food for the trolls years ago. It is about time for us to remedy that mistake. And if I have to cut a swath through the dwarves, and dranei, the gnomes and kal'dorei, then may their blindness lift before I kill them all.
(IC) What did you do prior to The Grim?
-For the last year, I learned very much about alcohol and just how little the politicians of Silvermoon care about their dead being brought back for their families to say their final goodbyes. Before that, my husband and I were adventurers. He never felt very welcome in Silvermoon. As for the war upon the scourge, I have been called upon to assist skirmishes against Naxxramas several times, and have seen the inside of Icecrown Citadel a time or two.
(IC) What are your thoughts on the pact between the Alliance and the Warchief Thrall?
-I do not understand that Orc. He seems to be brilliant in the workings of magic(though they are not of disciplines, more of a spiritual kind), but insists on tarrying with the monkeys? I hear tales of Thrall's younger life, and I think he merely sees in Jaina Proudmoore what he saw in that other one. I deign regret to bestow respect upon a human, but the Proudmoore woman is dangerous beyond mention. I've met her on a few occasions, and it's a shame she would fight and die to save her race. Otherwise, the pact is a farce. The Alliance and Horde openly battle on multiple fronts constantly. Only a true cynic would call the pact functional.
(OOC) The Grim is a role-playing guild that requires full immersion (heavy RP) of their members. What does that mean to you?
-stay in character at all times. i get that, i'm not new to heavy rp. the (()) ooc thing is only used by me when i have to mention something meta.
(OOC) The Grim are considered a Lawful Evil guild, ruled by structure and a defined chain of command with the intent to see the complete annihilation of their enemies. How does your character's personality and storyline follow the Grim Mandate? Is there any conflict between how you want to play your character and the theme of the Grim? If so, what do you expect out of joining us?
-her personality fits as far as humans go, but she believes that anyone that stands for the salvation of humans need to have their eyes opened for them. she has been put in detachments before and from her service to silvermoon's mages, she has a moderate officer rank with them. as such, she is used to following commands, doing so to the letter and immediately. but her husband's body not being returned home broke her remaining trust with the politics of silvermoon, so she will likely not answer many of their calls to battle anymore. their are no conflicts with how i want to play her. all i expect out of this guild is that i not get griefed when i rp, and raids. pve content has been a fav of mine for a long time, and i can't do that without a guild.
(OOC) What sort of role-playing experience do you have, online or off-line? Do you consider yourself a beginner or Gary Gygax?
-i am no gary gygax. but i am far closer to that than a beginner. i've been tabletop roleplaying for about 15 years now, and have run several games of my own(including the dnd 3.0 warcraft ogl/sword and sorcery campaign setting, a homebrew story since no modules ever came out). name the tabletop system, and i've played it. from westend star wars and original shadowrun to d20 modern, rifts, every iteration of dnd and even hackmaster. fahn met her husband on another server, and stayed in character from level 22 all the way to 70(during bc). i did a little of the forum rp, but found too much god-modding there. meh. i am a reactive rper. i will participate, but not lead rp scenes too often.
(OOC) Do you have any previous WoW experience? (PvP, Raiding, Battlegrounds, Different Servers, Different Guilds, Different Factions, etc.)
-yes. i just got into pvp, mostly because of my fiance, but have been all about raiding since wotlk dropped. i have a raid rogue on another server than will be xfered to this one when i can scrounge up the money for it.
(OOC) Is this character a server-transfer or has it been renamed recently?
-yes, she was xfered here from maelstrom about a month ago, and only hit 80 about 2 weeks ago.
(OOC) What are you, the player, looking for in the Grim? What are your expectations of the guild?
-like said earlier, raids and to not be griefed for rping.
(OOC) When joining the Grim, each new applicant will be matched up with someone to help them get into the swing of being Grim. In order to coordinate this, we will need to have a fair approximation of your play schedule. Please give a general outline below, OR if you wish to keep it private, send a PM to Aquizit.
-hmm, it's not too solid. i work as a handyman, and am a night-owl, so pretty much every night i will be on(approx 8ish est-1ish est) beyond that, i am in a tabletop game sundays and i run a game on thursdays.
(OOC) Please provide an armory link to your character for verification.

(IC/OOC) Do you have anything further to add?
-(OOC) you mean other than "Peace Through Annihilation" ? that does fit her character pretty well, actually.
-(IC)When asked what my goal in life is, I tend to be one that lets conflict pass her over. In some cases, the ends justify the means, and this conflict cannot, will not, pass me over. Some creatures are naught but a detriment upon those with whom they coexist. As long as a human lives, the world will never be safe. There will be no respite from war, there will be no peace. So I will take the war to them. There will be peace when the human usurpers fall, and all that stand with them fall with them!
