Happy Hallow's Eve, once more.
May the Headless Horseman be generous tonight
and your backpacks full of epic loot.

At last, the whole of Azeroth will break...
Update; everyone's probably freaking out now... well, Taceo could possibly be chasing that trail of soot across the sky.

Adding Character: Wardrobe
My [or, rather, Conri's!] Gilneas Boys [L-R]: Twins Faolan & Farran and Greyer Lyall
One thing I love about Warcraft characters is their clothing. Mages and Priests wear robes, flowy garments as Warriors and Paladins wear plate armor; a low-level character might have been recruited into the Horde or Alliance with just the clothes on their back; Rogues wear leather, and perhaps only carry what they can to eliminate anything snagging onto them as they sneak around... An auctioneer might not wear "battle gear" and instead wear something flashy as they go about their business to and from the auction house.
With the introduction of the Worgen, I had a thought:
What does a Gilnean wear?
According to WoWWiki:
Gilneans, the inhabitants of Gilneas, are burly, and their costumes, weapons, architecture and accents have great Victorian connotations. With the environment, echoing 19th century London, gear might be fitted to withstand heavy rain and wind. (source)
Thus, I came up with this little list (and it has helped me a whole lot with acquainting myself with Greyer, my soon-to-be Worgen rogue):
- Gentleman's Emporium
- Ladie's Emporium
- Steampunk Emporium (perfect for LWers & engineers)
- Victoriana
- Camillus-Fly's DeviantArt Gallery (excellent source of vintage photos)
- Quaddles' DeviantArt Gallery (Victorian Men, Women, Groups & Children photos!)
- Outland Armour (custom Fantasy/Steampunk Costumes)
- Victorian Men (Unknown magazine photoshoot)
- Might add more if I find 'em...

Greyer's Box
Yes, Mr. Lyall is late to the Time Capsule party.
Imagine that you have a box, and inside the box are seven items that perfectly describe your character. From their thoughts, ambitions, history, physical characteristics, etc. You can even go into detail on what KIND of box that your seven items are in.
Greyer's Box:
A medium-sized, wooden box. Though the wood is stained a rich chocolate hue, signs of wear are apparent on every edge. Its lid bears the Lyall family crest and is fastened by pewter hinges. A tarnished silver keyhole adorns the front; there are large, shallow scratches - presumably claw marks - on the top, bottom and backside between the hinges.

- ] A worn family portrait
- ] A sharp skinning knife
- ] A silver cameo pendant
- ] The deed to the Lyall Tannery
- ] A keyring with two unique keys
- ] A gold pocketwatch [still ticking, with matching chain]

Greyer in Graphite - Part 1
You've seen him in a stylized vector form and cartoon-ified into "one of the gang", now here he is being fleshed out in the first stages of the final project for my Rendering and Illustration class... Really need to fix his hairline, lol.

► Status: Temporary; practice for Greyer
► Server: Moon Guard
► Server Type: RP
► Time[s]: as early as 8 pm PST / 10 pm server time {TB and Moon Guard share time}
If for some reason, anyone needs a tank/healer, PLEASE feel free to shoot me a whisper {if I'm not in the SoP vent} if you'd like to group up or something.
I need an escape; to be honest, I'm in some sort of dark hole right now trying to get out of it.
Thanks,

Show Me the Way
It's time to run.
Blow me away
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off.
Show me the way.
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die;
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all...
Breaking Benjamin - "Blow me Away"
Welcome back, Lady Morntreader.

Truth
i miss coming home to a vent chat full of people, complaining about tanking, whining about gear, being concerned over sloppy pulls and wiping in raids, my 'tankadin training', counting emblems, and freaking out over killing the tiger boss in ZG...
it keeps my mind from falling apart as it is in its current state.
i hope to hear/see you all soon.

a photo.
...wrote to someone regarding the state of the Lyall family tannery, claiming that I wanted to buy it. These came back in response.

Whimsi likes colors.
Taceo: Y'know, Greyer, you look like your name would be Hershel.
Greyer: It sounds so... English.
Taceo: It means "deer" in Yiddish, actually, and I think it's cute.
Greyer: Well, I think it's already taken on Thorium Brotherhood and Fenris and Boulderfist. So... Yeah, tough luck.
Taceo: "Hershel Lyall" has a nice ring to it.
Greyer: My name is Greyer.
Whimsi: Purple-er?
Greyer: GTFO, Whimsi.
...this is proves that my mind goes to strange places when I start making art and story speculations for Mr. Lyall. I really, really want to know the release date of Cataclysm so I can actually space out and schedule his posts and character sheet (gahhhhh!!). I've also been collecting stuff that Greyer would say in conversation and been playing with character interactions, so, stay tuned, I might have something literary to post soon.

Understand
Trying to understand Greyer
is like attempting to drown
everything you have ever thought of.
Suffrocation.
A string of endless night
and rain.

Versus: Our Blog's Two Males
Tabijin:
Greyer:
Hmmm... trying so hard to make Greyer unique compared to Tabi and the girls; perhaps, even, an "anti-Tabijin." Already ran his personality through the D&D character alignment test and came out surprisingly as Chaotic Neutral (no one has had that result before, so it was like "whoa"). So, yeah...
Also, if you're also creating a Worgen, check these out:
[Note: these links do not directly contain quest spoilers.]
...heh, for all I know, Greyer's father/family could've made armor/supply packs for the war(s), the Lyall family could've assisted in building the Greymane Wall... Could Greyer become afflicted with the Curse because of an encounter with his father or brothers (whether a bite or simple contact)? Something to consider, I suppose. I really want some more specifics about the Curse's dynamics beside the fact of it "spreading through Gilneas unchecked for several years."
On a different note and on the other side of the Greymane Wall, Greyer can't seem to shake off the annoyance of an individual by the name of "Spritzer." Not sure who he is just yet, but Greyer's howling and snarling by the King's Gate has been heard almost nightly now.
- more like a father (understanding, worrisome)
- had a family and lost them (two dead, one lost)
- disowned a friend
- was shaped by family tradition (father was a Shaman)
- "Fallen patriarch"
- was an elitist to some degree; was a chief adviser to tribe
Greyer:
- more like a son (rebellious against authority, unruly)
- had a family and lost them (all deceased)
- betrayed by a friend
- dislikes family tradition (older brothers overshadowed him)
- "Rising rebel"
- was a humble being, befriended the tavern bartender

While shopping...
...I ran into Greyer and he gave me one of his family heirlooms (a really, large, chunky ring @_@; ) to hang onto until we meet again when the expansion's released. It's hanging on my cellphone now. Yay!
