Ah Love Blowin' Things Up!

One of the suggestions I've had for where to go with my projects early on was to make something in a setting that my readers know, instead of Project Abdiel, about which none of you give a damn. As it happens, one of my ideas, which I hadn't posted yet, turned out to have an interesting story in him. Of course, we've got a couple of problems:

1. Like Abdiel, the project contains very little in the way of human-looking beings, which is what I need to practice drawing the most. In particular, there are almost no female-looking humans/elves/Eldar, which are in the spotlight* in most of my projects.

2. The premise of a retrograde global amnesiac hero taken in by the opposite faction turns out to be the same as the big comic, which turns out to be titled World of Warcraft itself, so I imagine pretty much everyone's going to catch me on that. True, I'd plan to use it in a very different way (including reversing the factions), but I had read that part before, so I can't claim I'm not copying (if only subconsciously, because I didn't remember that part until later).

Anyway, I've added it to the database, which no longer has a lucky number of records. Of course, what's on the list is pretty arbitrary; some of them are unlikely to ever see the light of day*, such as .slice, which is even more derivative.

Speaking of the comic, apparently he lets the slaves out of the cages and chains for funerals, so they must get along reasonably well or have some back-up measure.

*These aren't really directly "good" things, so I haven't altered them.
