Quite a few child supersoldiers these days, eh? Personally, I blame these kids and their japanimes and mangabooks and their new-fangled vidjagames.
I refrain from commenting on the first one.
About the beard on the second one, I was rocking a good few inches of thick growth at the age of 16, so that's not entirely out-of-place. It's only everything else that doesn't fly. Kinda cute that he uses his father's mace though.
I just want to know what's the problem with people not wanting to play mature characters. Are characters older than 20 just not considered sexually appealing anymore? Is it that not having to work for it is better than a life-time of training in order to get your achievements?
One possibility is that people like to play characters that are closer to their own age. Not sure how plausible this is though, since I don't actually know anyone's age but... yeah.
...He was "forced" to work on his parents' farm. "Forced". Never mind that this has been the practice for millennia. Never mind that the principle of "don't work, don't eat" has been standard, especially when crop yield wasn't a guaranteed thing. Never mind that you never even really questioned it because that was How Things Were Done and how else were you going to learn the family trade if you didn't start early and besides that, Mom needs some carrots for the stew tonight so get digging.
I think people don't understand just how privileged we are nowadays. *narrowly avoids a "kids these days with their fax machines and their PSPs" rant*
Lacroix was a sometimes-villain, sometimes-mentor in the 90's vampire TV drama Forever Knight. He was bitten during the destruction of Pompeii by his daughter, Livia, who had just been made a vampire herself to save her from dying of some disease. She was a child at the time, though possibly in her mid-teens; it's been a while so I don't remember THAT detail.
I love going to other servers to see if they've got weird regional accents for places like they do on WrA (you have to understand that for 6 years prior I never seriously RPed as Alliance, these new traditions and things are a strange new world for me). Like, inexplicably, Duskwood's accent is Irish or Scottish, and ... I think Redridge is either an outright twangy sort of south America/Texas, or a more quaint-countrified English like a Cornwall or Geordie mish-mash. (Depending on who you're RPing with at the time
( ... )
Personally I think it'd be hilarious if somebody or somepersons developed an Azerothian version of Londoner rhyming slang.

Apparently the only way to make a gothic Victorian werewolf in a frock coat and top hat funnier is to make him a gothic Victorian werewolf in a frock coat and top hat that sounds like goddamn Dick Van Dyke mauling the Cockney accent in Mary Poppins.
And funnier yet would be two gothic Victorian werewolves in frock coats and top hats, one sounding like the aforementioned Dick Van Dyke and the other lecturing him like Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady.
Well...according to the WoW RPG, the adulthood of humans/worgens is 15. So as we all think it's jailbait, 16 is actually an age where she would be considered an adult and can probably drink at any of the taverns and go adventuring. So....technically that's the only part of her mrp that isn't out of place in WoW lore.
Trouble is that it wasn't about her going to taverns or adventuring. It was about any sixteen-year-old considering herself a high-enough ranking member of the Burning Legion to have earned a prestige class, and the fact that even if it's technically okay in the WoW world... to the person playing behind the other screen, a teenybopper flashing the world her panties is just a little creepy.
Well, like i said, the only part of her mrp that makes even a little bit of sense in WoW lore is her age. I agree that there is no way in hell she could have accomplished what she claims but unfortunately, in WoW, her wandering around in her panties is just as acceptable as all the mid-twenty year old women who do it.

Someone's been watching 90's TV.
