==Tips for Improving Your RP Game - Characters==
(http://www.conquestofthehorde.com/Thread-Grakor-s-Tips-for-Improving-Your-RP-Game-Characters)

-Grazmot-

Speech: Relaxed and simple, uses lots of linguistic shortcuts and some slang.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Pride (Deadly Sin), Diligence (Virtue)
Motivation (for the previously mentioned goals): For both of them, he seeks to go back to the peaceful times his old "mentor" told him about, as he is tired of all conflict, cruelty, etc.
Symbolism: N/A... something to think about.

-Nikuun-

Speech: Highly formal, rarely uses contractions or slang, preferring more complex choices of words.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Wrath*** (Deadly Sin), Charity (Virtue)
Motivation (for the previously mentioned goals): For both of them, he seeks to achieve peace.
Symbolism: N/A... something to think about.

***Allow me to elaborate. While Nikuun keeps his cool in combat, his goals are very combat focused. He is using war to fight war. Not very peaceful, if you ask me.

-Durgan-

Speech: Ye usual dwarf accent. What did ye expect, eh?
Strengths and Weaknesses: Gluttony*** (Deadly Sin), Kindness (Virtue)
Motivation (for the previously mentioned goals): Safety for his people, as well as making his family proud.
Symbolism: N/A... something to think about.

***Not exactly in the literal sense. As in, a hunger for approval so great that he will go out of his way to attain it. Envy might also fit for a more literal meaning, if others were to get that approval he so desires in his stance.

-Samuel-

Speech: He does not really sport any accent, talks normally, spicing it up by using the most common contractions, popular slang, and such.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Sloth (Deadly Sin), Chastity (Virtue)
Motivation (for the previously mentioned goals): Get rich and put a little on the side to help his sick mommy.
Symbolism: N/A... something to think about.

-Rolland-

Speech: Shows a good knowledge of common, but he tries not to use big words (although they might unconsciously slip in) and he does use contractions. May throw some Gilnean (read: British) slang around, especially if nervous.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Lust (Deadly Sin)***, Humility (Virtue)
Motivation (for the previously mentioned goals): Rolland has always had an inquisitive spirit, and the dark times his nation faced when it came down to knowledge made him have some serious lacuna in his learning - thus, he wants to fill those gaps. In the long-term, however, is wish is to become a great illusionist that will be able to put smiles on the face of children as much (or more!) as the one he saw long ago in Gilneas was.
Symbolism: N/A... something to think about.

***Just so we are clear, lust for knowledge, not sex.

==The secrets of RP part one- Improv!==
(http://www.conquestofthehorde.com/Thread-The-secrets-of-RP-part-one-Improv)

-Grazmot-

How would your character react to...

*Someone romantically interested in them?

Would not be bothered by it, in fact, he would love being appreciated in that way. However, this might lead him to get gloomy if he does not like the person back. If he does, however, he will explode of happiness. Possibly literally.

*Being demoted or fired from a job or mission?

VERY sad. Would probably be demotivated for a while until he/someone else kicks him in the nuts and he goes back to bang his head against a wall, trying to get that or another job/mission he fancies.

*Having a child?

Apprehensive at first (HOW DO I PARENT) but he'd probably be super happy, and make a great, supportive father.

*Friends/family killed?

Sadness. Lots of it. Depending on the reason of the death, he might go looking for revenge.

*Being outsmarted?

Happens constantly, so he really doesn't care. It's not like he notices most of the time.

*Being told a bland joke?

Say "Eh, ok."

*Stepping on a nail?

Overreact and jump around in one feet, screaming and all.

*Eating something disgusting?

"IT IS FOOD."

*Buying a slave?

He has no money for that! Ah! But if he did, he'd probably be against it and regret it deeply. Probably doing it because he was forced to.

-Nikuun-

How would your character react to...

*Someone romantically interested in them?

This dense fella would probably not even notice, but he'd be probably be happy, and I suspect he would end up engaging with them even if he did not like them back out of courtesy. Sure, he is honest, but he genuinely likes most people (well... except all of the Horde and demons and others).

*Being demoted or fired from a job or mission?

Since his current job and mission are everything for him, he would probably be apathetic for a looong while. Feeling a void inside and all that.

*Having a child?

Draenei + Children = FUCKING HAPPINESS BRING THE PROPHET. Ahem, you get the idea.

*Friends/family killed?

Lots of gloom and sadness.

*Being outsmarted?

He would just smile it off.

*Being told a bland joke?

Smile. Nikuun doesn't get jokes, duh.

*Stepping on a nail?

Probably flinch at the pain a little but shrug it off like a man(goat) almost instantly.

*Eating something disgusting?

Say "Thanks for the food" if it's made by someone else or "Well, I did try" if it's his own (horrible) cooking.

*Buying a slave?

If he did that it would be for the sake of saving/freeing the person so no regrets.

-Durgan-

How would your character react to...

*Someone romantically interested in them?

If it's someone he fancies, lots of shyness and embarrassment and trying to impress the person and whatnot.

*Being demoted or fired from a job or mission?

Devastated. That is all.

*Having a child?

He would be a very happy and proud papa dwarf.

*Friends/family killed?

Anger, and a desire for revenge.

*Being outsmarted?

He would be annoyed, no doubt, if it's not someone who he looks up to.

*Being told a bland joke?

" 'Twas so funny that I forgot ta laugh."

*Stepping on a nail?

Do a very funny face and whimper at the pain for a short while, then get it tended ASAP.

*Eating something disgusting?

"Feck, I'm nat eatin' this shet."

*Buying a slave?

Act very sneaky and all that. Even if it was for a good cause, such an act would ruin his reputation.

-Samuel-

How would your character react to...

*Someone romantically interested in them?

Act very carefully. Reject the person if not interested, if interested take his time to learn about the person, get to know them, etc. He wants to choose the right person for him at first try.

*Being demoted or fired from a job or mission?

Frustrated, because that would make his job of getting gold harder. Not that he cares for work or anything, really.

*Having a child?

TERRIFIED! WHY IS THIS THING CRYING! HELP! WHAT DO I DO!?

*Friends/family killed?

Sadness. Would only be truly devastated and/or seek revenge if it was someone EXTREMELY close to him.

*Being outsmarted?

He would be super, suuuuuper, SUPER irritated. He hates being outsmarted.

*Being told a bland joke?

"Try harder next time." or "Y'know, my jokes are a lot better."

*Stepping on a nail?

"FUUUUUUUUCK!!! SHIIIIIIIT!!" and so forth to get rid of the pain, then lick the wound (if in worgen form).

*Eating something disgusting?

He is not a very picky eater, but if that were to happen he would spit the food and not eat it, period.

*Buying a slave?

If he is doing so, it probably means he has coin and that he can provide that slave with a decent life. Sure, they aren't free, but at least they'll have food and a master who doesn't treat them too badly. There's nothing to feel bad about.

-Rolland-

How would your character react to...

*Someone romantically interested in them?

This huge ball of awkwardness would feel... well, awkward. Lots of blushing (even if that's not really visible in a worgen), butterflies, some stuttering, saying senseless things... ah, the wonders of youth and chaste nerds.

*Being demoted or fired from a job or mission?

Seeing as how Rolland tries his best to do things correctly, he'd probably take a hug hit to his self-esteem and blame himself for a long time, and become gloomy, very gloomy.

*Having a child?

At present, he'd be clueless, but he'd probably try to read as many books on the subject of parenthood as possible.

*Friends/family killed?

There's a high chance he might slip into depression, depending on the support he would have (in the case of his parents dying, he probably would be able to hang on if one of them survived).

*Being outsmarted?

Try to learn from the other person.

*Being told a bland joke?

He would let the person know the joke was flat but not make a huge deal out of it overall.

*Stepping on a nail?

Whimp a lot. Maybe even cry. Poor puppy.

*Eating something disgusting?

*pukes*

*Buying a slave?

Not happening, even if it's for the greater good. Not like he has THAT much courage to conduct bold operations to free slaves from dangerous criminals, anyway.

One day I might do that HUGE CoTH character development questionnaire.
