Silent Morning-Treader
You waited
Until you
Saw me
Ghost
The moment you break me
I'll say it simply
Shut up,
And listen
Why don't you give up
This mission
Shut up,
And look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me

Time Capsules [meme]
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.
Taceo's Box:
A medium-sized polished, metallic tin. Its insides are lined with richly dyed, red silk and its lid is fastened by golden hinges. A gold fastening device keeps the box from opening and is locked by a small gold padlock, which is engraved with the initials "T.M." in scroll-like lettering.
Lunette's Box:
A dark, worn, wooden box; it is crafted from a hollowed-out, medium-sized log. A crescent moon symbol adorns the top-half. Ribbon, woven from tree bark, help keep the box securely closed.
Whimsi's Box:
For lack of sense in being able to identify a suitable container, Whims' keeps her seven items in a jar with a copper, twist-off lid.
Taceo's Box:
A medium-sized polished, metallic tin. Its insides are lined with richly dyed, red silk and its lid is fastened by golden hinges. A gold fastening device keeps the box from opening and is locked by a small gold padlock, which is engraved with the initials "T.M." in scroll-like lettering.

The Engineer
Taceo slowly made her way through Dalaran, admiring the little shoppes as she often did. The various bottles of alchemist supplies, floating inscription books, the smell of tanned leather, the clanking of blacksmith hammers against forged metal, the scent and rustle of freshly penned designs being handed out for a handful of gold coins... all the sights of the profession apprentices and masters at work never failed to make her smile when she made her way to visit her Jewelcrafter trainer. When the sound of ticking stopped her in her tracks, she idly looked over her shoulder. The sights of curios and the busy engineers they belonged to rarely caught her interest, but something was rather strange and amusing about the glow coming from inside that building tonight. She adjusted her worn messenger bag, balancing its weight on her shoulder, and stepped over the threshold.
The toe of her plate boots gently pushed a large wrench across the tile floor, nearly causing her to trip. Upon bending down to pick up the rusted tool, she met the gaze of a young, blue-skinned troll. The youth looked up at her from his place on the floor, sliding his goggles up onto his forehead once she had fully stood up. She concluded by the small size of his tusks and his vibrant green hair that he couldn't be older than 18 mortal years. The gloves he wore and the tool belt strapped about his waist, she observed, were much too large for him; and, several grease-covered instruments, peculiar cogs and discs, a battered box of miscellaneous metal findings, and small cans of oil were strewn carelessly around him.
The Blood Elf Paladin raised a brow as she stepped closer and silently pointed to the small robot-like mechanism he had been busy refurbishing before her approach. He redirected his gaze to the the bronze and copper creation and quietly returned his attention to the dark liquid that seeped from its chest cavity. After a few moments, she watched as he pulled a stopwatch from his neglected toolbox and delicately installed it with some spare wire and set of pliers. Before she could even ask, Taceo watched and listened as he wound the dial of the timepiece, allowing the soft, muffled sound of ticking to interrupt his voice every other word, "Ya probableh wouldn't fulleh undastand, bein' a blood elf an' all wit' all yer long, gen'rous years... But time fer all o' us runs out eventually."

Interesting Words
"There are three kinds of people in this world: competitors, customers and employees. Competitors are to be crushed ruthlessly, customers indulged and employees strictly supervised.
Independent contractors are a myth. They want to be paid better than employees, but treated like customers. Never trust one who calls himself by that title."

Nostalgia
Sat the girls down for a few since I hadn't talked to them in a while; as apart of our little 'BFF time' we shared pictures with each other. Enjoy.
Heh, we're amazed Whimsi keeps her pictures in good condition, then again, her snapshots were recently taken.
Images are from: wizards.com and from the game itself, World of Warcraft.

Taceo the Blood Elf Paladin, Winterr the Tauren Druid, Whimsi the Undead Priest, and Tabijin the Troll Shaman. My three girls and my elderly troll on Thorium Brotherhood. :)
2) How old are they?
Taceo: It's very impolite and improper to ask a lady her age, you know.
Winterr: Roughly 57 winters.
Whimsi: Erm, last I checked, I was like... *spaces out for a moment.* 21? 22?
Tabijin: T' old fo' dis.
3) Are they a boy/girl?
Taceo: Female, thank you.
Winterr: Cow. Moo...
Whimsi: Girl.
Tabijin: Male.
4) What's his/her *scribbles out the word race* species?
Taceo: For the Sin'dorei!
Winterr: Tauren.
Whimsi: Human! :D
Tabijin: *raises a brow at Whimsi* Sh' means Undead. As fo' meh, ah are a troll, mon.
5) If this characters were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Taceo: Isn't it apparent that all four of us would get stared at? Pointy ears, anthropomorphic burger, a--
Winterr: Cow, would've been more appropriate, thanks. *glares*
Taceo: ...as I was saying... a rotting zombie, and a blue-skinned troll. Yeah, we'd blend riiiiiight in, alright. *crosses her arms and rolls her eyes*
Whimsi: B-but, I'm human?
Tabijin: Lady Tace' be right, ya know; an', no, Whims'. *points to her exposed elbow joint* Dat not no'mal fo' a livin' 'uman at all.
6) Are your characters considered normal in his/her own world?
Taceo: Yes, nearly stereotypical, actually. *Crosses legs idly.*
Winterr: Yes.
Whimsi: Um, no?
Tabijin: Prob'leh not anymo'. *sighs* Ah keep 'earin' 'bout dese crazeh fits ah don' rememba.
7) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
Taceo: I'm somewhat short for a Sin'dorei, but I suppose one could spot me from a distance with my fair skin and black hair, which is usually styled short.
Winterr: Pelt color. I'm all white with an asterisk-like shape on my right forearm. I've also got an assortment of white and blue beads in my mane. *Turns head slightly to show a few braided tresses with clay beads.*
Whimsi: Discolored hair and glossed-over expression, I've been told... Um... Wait, what? Oh! Purple-ness?! *Points to hair.*
Tabijin: *Points to his own scalp, bringing attention to the blue roots of his snow white hair* If ah could jus' bring mah color back or git rid o' it completeleh, I would.
8) Are your OC's considered attractive?
Taceo: *cough* ...so I've heard.
Winterr: With a garnish on a plate.
Whimsi: Not attractive, but cute.
Tabijin: Ya see dis' embroider'd vest? An' dis monocle? Finely tailored pants? Ah oughtta be. Ya wanna run a good bus'ness, ya gotta be as 'ttractive as yer wares if dey be wort' lotsa gold.
+Personality
1) Temper?
Taceo: Well-mannered, I would hope, but I'm known to have a short fuse sometimes.
Winterr: As even as can be most days.
Whimsi: You probably wouldn't remember it...
Tabijin: *Grumbles* We done yet? Mah back 'urts from dis chair.
2) Do they ever get depressed?
Taceo: Sometimes.
Winterr: *smiles and shakes head*
Whimsi: Dep... Depress-ed? Depressed. What's that?
Tabijin: *scratches the back of his neck and averts his gaze*
3) Leader or Follower?
Taceo: Both? If I am confident in what we're doing and know what is thoroughly going on, I'll lead; for the most part though, I'm trailing behind everyone making sure their every scratch or bruise is taken care of while they do their stuff.
Winterr: Follower, though I'm one to break apart from a group and go my own way.
Whimsi: Follower; I trip on my toes a lot and lost a couple, so I kinda stagger behind.
Tabijin: Fallen leader.
4) What is the main aspect(s) of his/her personality?
Taceo: Pride or smugness, kinda two-sided.
Winterr: Furtiveness, somewhat hard-headed.
Whimsi: SPARKLIES!
Taceo: Heh, if you've had the pleasure of meeting Whims', you'll know that she's completely random and sometimes air-headed. She's really, really bubbly though if she wants to be... or if you get into a conversation with her about random stuff.
Tabijin: Ah am anti-social an' obsessive compulsive. When ya been in dis war as long as ah 'ave, most circumstances'll do dat t' ya.
+History
1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Taceo: My father, a once-retired Ambassador of the Horde, and mother still go about their business with the little inn they've bought in Falcon Wing Square.
Winterr: My tribe or herd still make their home somewhere not too far from the mountains of Mulgore.
Whimsi: I still have my kitty. He went missing when I became sick, and when I woke up again, Winterr found him for me and brought him back! He's so grown up now, he's precious.
Tabijin: *averts his eyes and runs a hand idly through his hair.*
Taceo: Allow me to explain. Tabi' had a wife and daughter. Zabeni was a very distinguished hunter of the Horde, one of the finest scouts Thrall has ever seen and honored. She... well, I'll probably get to it in a bit here, but anyway, as for his daughter Reser, no one's seen Reser for some time now, but some word has gotten around that she's become an apprentice mage.
Whimsi: *reaches a hand out and gently pats Tabijin on the shoulder.* Trolly-troll.
2) Are they out on his/her own? If so, why?
Taceo: I figured I ought to do something, make my father proud, follow in his footsteps.
Winterr: Mmhmm, I've already went through my coming-of-age ceremony and am now looking to find a herd of my own. The individuals of the guild The Shadow of Paragon are perfectly suiting thus far.
Whimsi: Yes. Dark Lady's orders.
Tabijin: Ah 'ave no choice, gotta keep busy some'ow.
3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Taceo: I heard news of my friend becoming lost, missing in action... and then coming face-to-face with her when she returned... as a Death Knight. She was covered in blood from slaying her loyal dragonhawk [you see, she was a hunter before] and I just didn't recognize her at first. I was thinking she was going to lop my head off. *Cringe.*
Winterr: I almost drowned twice, when my trainer was attempting to teach me how to obtain the form of a sea lion.
Whimsi: I once mind-flayed this one gnome, and I got a glimpse of this one memory he had... I watched as he fell off of a cliff face and I was like *levitate* *levitate* *LEVITATE* I kinda forgot I wasn't the one falling. Heeeee... And then, I stole a memory of some Death Knight once, and I saw the dead crawl out of the ground, their faces were nearly rotted off and their skin was hanging off their bones in segments. Eeeee...
Tabijin: *Continues to keep his gaze on his toes.*
Taceo: *Looks to Tabijin* Well, as I was saying. Um... One of Tabijin's friends told him that Zabeni was taken captive by a band of Night Elves after a dwarf and his frostsaber caught her off-guard when she was escorting some new recruits through Ashenvale. Weeks later, Zabeni's tiger, Hexes, showed up in the Barrens, and a young scout reported back with Zabeni's blood-splattered insignia and tattered backpack.
4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Taceo: When I became an Ambassador of the Horde, as well as an accomplished Explorer. Oh, also when I became an Officer of my guild.
Winterr: The moment I was awarded the rank of Grunt.
Whimsi: When I found my kitty!
Tabijin: The day mah daughtah was bo'n.

Whimsi: Mmmmm, yep.
Tabijin: Once, and ah miss 'er.

Taceo: Oh, please! Really?! Really... Nosyyy!
Winterr: Yes.
Whimsi: *Nods.*
Tabijin: Mah answer ought t' be obvious, if dey tol' ya 'bout mah daughtah.
4) Does your character like flirting?
Taceo: I have my moments I admit, but my heart belongs to someone.
Winterr: Not really.
Whimsi: Hmmm... Kinda?
Tabijin: No.
+Symbolism
1) What element is your character associated with?

[edit: Mannnn... those were some serious typos, and some of Whimsi's answers weren't meant to be that spaced out to the point where she's "blank." The trick to this was to kinda keep her talking so she doesn't leave the conversation, so she has more answers now.]

Taceo: Allow me to explain. Tabi' had a wife and daughter. Zabeni was a very distinguished hunter of the Horde, one of the finest scouts Thrall has ever seen and honored. She... well, I'll probably get to it in a bit here, but anyway, as for his daughter Reser, no one's seen Reser for some time now, but some word has gotten around that she's become an apprentice mage.
Whimsi: *reaches a hand out and gently pats Tabijin on the shoulder.* Trolly-troll.
2) Are they out on his/her own? If so, why?
Taceo: I figured I ought to do something, make my father proud, follow in his footsteps.
Winterr: Mmhmm, I've already went through my coming-of-age ceremony and am now looking to find a herd of my own. The individuals of the guild The Shadow of Paragon are perfectly suiting thus far.
Whimsi: Yes. Dark Lady's orders.
Tabijin: Ah 'ave no choice, gotta keep busy some'ow.
3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Taceo: I heard news of my friend becoming lost, missing in action... and then coming face-to-face with her when she returned... as a Death Knight. She was covered in blood from slaying her loyal dragonhawk [you see, she was a hunter before] and I just didn't recognize her at first. I was thinking she was going to lop my head off. *Cringe.*
Winterr: I almost drowned twice, when my trainer was attempting to teach me how to obtain the form of a sea lion.
Whimsi: I once mind-flayed this one gnome, and I got a glimpse of this one memory he had... I watched as he fell off of a cliff face and I was like *levitate* *levitate* *LEVITATE* I kinda forgot I wasn't the one falling. Heeeee... And then, I stole a memory of some Death Knight once, and I saw the dead crawl out of the ground, their faces were nearly rotted off and their skin was hanging off their bones in segments. Eeeee...
Tabijin: *Continues to keep his gaze on his toes.*
Taceo: *Looks to Tabijin* Well, as I was saying. Um... One of Tabijin's friends told him that Zabeni was taken captive by a band of Night Elves after a dwarf and his frostsaber caught her off-guard when she was escorting some new recruits through Ashenvale. Weeks later, Zabeni's tiger, Hexes, showed up in the Barrens, and a young scout reported back with Zabeni's blood-splattered insignia and tattered backpack.
4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Taceo: When I became an Ambassador of the Horde, as well as an accomplished Explorer. Oh, also when I became an Officer of my guild.

Whimsi: When I found my kitty!
