Making a (RP) Character, Part Two

Continued from Making a (RP) Character, Part One.

How did I create my main role play character? Those that know me know that my main on WoW is my warrior, Lycannon. When I first created her it wasn't for role play, in fact I didn't even know you could RP on WoW when I began playing the game.

I had RPed a lot before on forums using Lycannon across different genres and universes. Every time I rolled her she was always a warrior or something melee. I can thank The Legend of Zelda for that influence. It was the first game I played and playing a character that got up in a bad guy's face (most of the time) just felt right. She had a few different incarnations and I changed the name 'Lycannon' to fit into whatever universe I was playing at the time. Kate, Candy, Lycandra, Candryss - The list goes on. She originally came from a futuristic, post-apocalyptic sci-fi RP I had been doing with some online friends. She was a field medic of Middle Eastern descent with platinum, almost white colored hair. That is a nod to Storm, my favorite of the X-men and the first ethnic woman I can remember being in a leadership role. (I was like 3 or 4 at the time. 90's cartoon, if you were curious.) She had a spicy 'soldier type' attitude that I built her around, and she was proficient in martial arts and blasting aliens with her plasma gun.

Go ahead and ponder why the hell Forge is wearing a speedo. The rest is after the jump.

Whirlwind and Emberstorm Battlegroups are Boulderfisted

They went down over an hour ago, and Blizzard says the ETA is 7:30 PM Eastern, so 6:30 server (Moon Guard) time, if I have my regions correct. 

Tuesday, I managed to get Rotface's Acidic Blood for my Shadow's Edge. I also won the Blood-Soaked Saronite Stompers, which is, I believe, our first drop for those. Interestingly enough, I got rather lucky with the win, because the other two people who rolled were also absent for a day or two when I was. In any case, they are a big upgrade to the Grinning Skull Boots from the chest in Heroic Halls of Reflection. When comparing the two, I recieve:

35 Stamina
27 Strength
186 Armor
20 Armor Pen (1.43%)
16 Crit (0.35%)
2 Sockets

And in those two sockets, I gemmed +20 strength each, and finished them off with Icewalker, putting me back at just over the 8% hit cap I need as a DPS warrior before talents and heroic presence. The Stompers are the best plate DPS boots in the game currently, and I wish every warrior good luck with getting them. They are almost too good for their ilevel. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they got nerfed. Really.

We finally downed Festergut this go around, and have only Professor Putricide left before trying the Crimson Halls. Hopefully the servers will be up for tonight for the raid, but if not, that's okay too.
