Krycek-Haters Not Wanted
paperkingdoms indirectly inspired some brilliance from
geepgal yesterday. After PK mentioned Alex Krycek in this post, I told geepgal I'd regrettably missed the opportunity to name my rogue in World of Warcraft Krycek. That being said, my character is female and a troll, so the name and the visuals wouldn't have gone together well at all.
Geepgal's brilliant idea was to create a character in the other faction of the game. While we're staunchly against them, our type of server does permit one account to have characters on both sides of the fight, and the other side has human characters! (Terribly boring in every other way, but quite useful for this plan.) Plus, duh, he'd be a double (triple?) agent, just like the "real" Krycek! Geepgal characterizes it thusly (comment excerpted from PK's journal):
My evening plans: to go home and meet ambientguise in front of the computerfor the making of our Warcraft character who is an Alliance human rogue named Krycek... He will spy for our main characters (FOR THE HORDE!) and it will be unclear exactly whose side he is on. He will slip us information to help us, only to lead us into more danger...oh the mystery...hehe.
The punchline to all of this? The human character model is bulky and muscle-bound and comes with a variety of terrifying facial hair options. Came out looking terrible. So Krycek the new human rogue? Uses the female character model. Go pretty men!
