Does your character have a retirement plan or dream

I always like to imagine hidden away from other forsaken Killian dreams of laying down his gun and returning to that peaceful little farm in the valley of fourwinds were no one knew what an undead was and the war seemed a distant nightmare.

Reminds me of the tale I read somewhere that a Sailor would sling an oar over his shoulder, and walk inland, and the first place he met someone who said “Whats that?” That’s where he would settle for the rest of his days…

Guess he didn’t like the Sea…

Brigante’s not the retiring type. He expects one day, for his reactions to slow down, or his luck to run out, and he’ll be shot down. Sun Hawk fliers make a joke about being ‘Buried in a bucket’, mainly because, well, if you die after falling from seven hundred feet or so, they’ll need a mop and bucket to gather your remains. He’d like a peaceful end to his life, he is after all, a Soldier, and that’s what soldiers -truly-want. He has a wife, he has two young children, he wants to see them grow. One thing is certain, he’d never stop flying. Even if it was no longer as an Aerial Cavalry soldier, but just for his own enjoyment, he could not turn his back on the Skies that he has known, dreaded and loved fiercely for more than a thousand years now… He’s relatively rich, comfortably Middle Class enough to have a good home when he is pensioned off from the Aerie, He might spend some time writing his memoirs, or researching cultures, a hobby he already has, but has little time to carry out. He’d probably end up a devoted grandfather, great grandfather, and great great grandfather, until one day, surrounded by chattering children, and inquisitive dragonhawk hatchlings descended from his own Battle-Brother, he would lean back in his chair, look at the blue sky, and just smile, finally at peace. his eyes fixed on the skies that gave him life, and purpose, even as he took that final flight, as the light dimmed from his eyes, and life left him.

And there are worse ways to go…

Oddly enough this character is in the stages of retirement. She’s going to fish. A lot.

That’s pretty much her retirement plan. Fish. She’s been killing things and doing busy body stuff since the Horde landed on frickin’ kalimdor, she’s earned the right to fish all day and have no questions asked.

Damien’s dream/retirement plan at the moment is to find a world (conquer it, he and his kind will not be intelstellar refugees like the Orcs or the Draenei! ) and relocate enough Worgen to start over again.
Gilneas and the Worgen’s future is not to die with Azeroth!
The wars and basically everything that happened in the past ten years conviced him it time to let it go
Azeroth is doomed, but he is not going to die like a hero, going out in a noble blaze of glory… he is not that type
There is no shame in running away
His plan to find a way to find a planet, relocate there with enough of his people and defend it from whatever it dares to look on his new home especially from the undead!
With any means necesarry

Syl’s dream is to eventually retire on a farm somewhere in Pandaria and forget about all the horrors of the world.

Dangerbeard feels like she’s wasted too much time, having spent years locked away in prison, to even consider retirement at this moment. She is currently establishing contects, taking odd jobs and making money. Perhaps not for retirement but certainly for a comfortable life when she’s not on the job. The idea that she might at one point be physically incapable of doing what she does now is not on her mind.

If all goes according to her plan, though, she’ll probably be wealthy enough to buy herself an apartment in a big city and live comfortably till the end of her days. Maybe work in an engineering shop to make ends meet, but only if she has to.

Ly actually has retired once. She has the money to not need a job, but otherwise, she’s just bored.

But maybe once she’s finally tired of fighting, has travelled across all the world and has found someone to settle down with, she will.

But all those three are going to be in the very, very distant future, if at all. She’ll probably just get herself killed at some point. Finally meet her match and get into a situation she can’t get out of.

She doesn’t really want a retirement. She wants to die as she lived. Doing what she loves.

When and if Munkosh is too old to fight continuously and reached the level of a master, he would become a martial arts teacher. He would have his own little school, teaching those who have similar problems he had had in the past (bloodthirsty rage).
But of course, his primary dream would be to fall in a glorious combat with honor.

Sitting on a beach, earning 20%…

Jenit is both fairly young and also due to her experiences between MoP and BfA too childishly cynical to really consider retirement in a serious way. She might like to ‘settle down somewhere nice and peaceful and really get into Mechanostriders someday’.

My druid wanted to restore the night elven immorality until he burned to death on tedrassil.

Well, Mahli’ficia’s ideal retirement plan would probably look something like this:

  • Amassing her riches and restoring her estate in Quel’Thalas after this silly Blood Elves vs Void Elf nonsense has been resolved.
  • Petition to send that pointy-eared gorilla named Regent Lord Lor’Themar to the Twisting Nether. Preferably in some demon’s bum.
  • Use the opportunity to get into the housing market since the Scourge killed so many property holders in Quel’Thalas.
  • Finally write that fiction book she’s been procrastinating on for the last one-and-a-half century or so.

Granted, there is a good chance Mahli’ficia might just become bored after a century or two, especially if Void Elves are indeed immortal, and so those retirement plans would probably only be temporary if so!

Thion is actually a fairly simple guy in that regard. He doesn’t see his retirement as anything happening anytime soon, but when it does happen, he just wants to get married and settle down. Though he’d very rarely admit it, he has a distinct lack of power hungry dark spellcaster-like ambition when it comes to a retirement.

Uruk can’t retire in tthe traditional sense. But if he could, I guess retiring to Scholomance wouldn’t be bad though.

Never. Fight to last breath, if wouldn’t be able to fight, teach others how to!!!

…and mentor them as a Shaman… (Yes a shaman.)

“Retirement? Never thought of. I don’t look forward to the coming years, neither gazing for long on the past. The present is here, and siince it’s, then i will continue doing what i want to, because if i didn’t then it will be a waste of time, and i have wasting anything i own.”

“My retirement plan? Find someplace for me and others like myself, settle down there. make something that’s ours”
She sighs deeply.
“I can hope, can’t I? Besides… It wouldn’t matter if it’s here or some old forgotten place.”

Laurenn does have one, and it is something she actively works towards nowadays! Being a mage, she wants her very own mage tower away from any Alliance or Horde settlements to study in. A place location of which she won’t even reveal to most. Once this is finished and she has enough coin to not have to worry about survival, she’ll just spend most of her days there and study magic without caring about any of the issues the world around her might have. She would likely even attempt writing and publishing a few books at some point!

“Hmph. My dream- no, my DESTINY is to protect the nature and the wilds forever. Therefore, I must earn immortality so that I may achieve this. Retirement is for the weak and complacent.”

My retirement plan? I retire when I die. Rogue with tricks if trade, when I grow old, incapable to fight I will have so much contact around Azeroth I plan to open secret intelligence agency. Pull the strings from shadows, help the advanturers on their quest and harbor alot of money from trade and smuggle routes.

Yeah I want to have my own Uncrowned orginisation.
