What is DragonWhimsy.net?

RubyWave

Quick summary:

DragonWhimsy.net is a role-player's blog for World of Warcraft containing character journals, fiction, articles on role-playing, reviews and reflections on how the game can effect the typist.

Longer version:

DragonWhimsy.net is a blog about bringing out one’s creativity, imagination, and sense of wonder through the use of an MMO (in this case World of Warcraft) and the interaction with like-minded people and their characters that can only be found in such a form of entertainment as well as how life on a role-playing server in an MMO can effect the typist’s real life as well.

Going forward you can expect the following kinds of articles:

-Articles on role-playing. Tips, advice, and just thoughts on the art in general.

-Quick reviews on World of Warcraft merchandise from a loregeek’s perspective.

-Journal entries from my in-game characters.

-The adventures of the Dragonsworn Council, the heavy RP’ing guild I founded.

-Observations on how life in an MMO can effect the typist.

The author reserves the right to occasionally offer comments on other non-WoW fantasy related geekery.

The Characters:

The following characters are covered in the journal entries:

Ruby Astherion: Ruby is currently my main character for RP’ing. She is a crimson whelpling who has learned to shift far too early for her own good. She’s small, cute, fierce, wise, and innocent all at the same time. She is quickly reaching her drakehood however and is more teenager than child. She loyally serves Alexstrasza the Life-Binder.

She is also known by her true name Rublestrasza the Noble.

Elitists may want to read this blog entry before passing judgment:

I play a dragon, deal with it.

Rhune Astherion: Ruby is Rhune’s “pet” though it may be more accurate to say Rhune is her pet instead. Perhaps “adopted father” is closer the mark. He is my previous main character for RP though he is currently in semi-retirement after being played almost uninterrupted for the two years prior to my rolling Ruby up as a gnome.

He was the center of a great many storylines which all took place prior to my creating this blog unfortunately. He still shows up from time to time and I have the feeling it is only a matter of time before the spotlight shines on him again.

He is also the patron of the Astherion family which at one time was a large family of characters played by various friends of mine that has since faded somewhat.

Rhune serves the Kirin Tor and it’s pro-Alliance faction the Silver Covenant.

Dame Faylian Lanstryde: Faylian is my death knight and the character I turn to when I want to play someone a bit “darker”. She has the same goals as most adventurers in the current war: the destruction of the Lich King and the Scourge, but she will achieve that aim at any cost. She is a very dark shade of morally grey. Sorrow has also rendered her not entirely sane and those that meet her will find her either ice cold or very emotional. There is never a middle ground with Faylian.

Faylian is ultra-loyal to Highlord Mograine and the Knights of the Ebon Blade.

The typist responsible for all this:

My name is Terren Bruce and I am a proud geek and bookworm. Favorite pastimes include World of Warcraft (Sentinels RP Server), StarCraft 2, Dungeon's & Dragons 4th Edition, and Battletech.

I have a passion for writing and storytelling. Nothing makes my heart go pitter patter more than a well told story or crafting such myself.

Dragons and magic, worlds of enchantment and wonder, epic tales and whimsical adventures... those are what I love.
