What Race would you be IRL?

Lore Role-playing
22

Well, I have the physique of a Blood Elf (Yeah, I’m not doing bad for a gentleman of certain years) the accent of a properly voiced Gilnean, and am diplomatic as all hells like Humans are supposed to be. I have the drinking capacity of a Dwarf (A fact I am trying to forget given the punishment I just gave my liver yesterday on my birthday) and a bizarre ability to retain knowledge and learn new tricks like a Gnome…It is tricky! A posh sounding, suave, clever, hard drinking athlete, yet with a slightly addictive personality. No, blow it. I basically am Brigante…

I feel I could be night elf being quite tall, aloof and loving the moon. But I don’t like animals getting close to me, so… Maybe not?

25

I can imagine not all Night Elves are fond of animals. Druid mostly care for the life of nature and all, but I assume Kaldorei can also have some personal preferences. :slight_smile:

I found the most convincing argument on the internet.

Paraphrasing, I’m devoted to interests that while legitimate and entertaining, are acts of pure leisure. I surround myself with these luxuries, these expensive books, instruments and objects. Being of a creative bent, I fancy writing, poetry, music and art over traditionally productive pursuits and spend a great deal of time on these frivolous activities, taking a long time to refine and get it right.

I’d regard myself more intelligent than many, which is a numerical, statistical fact (oh goodness, arrogance?) and the fine manipulation of my arts and archery would suggest a decent dexterity score. As a fantasy gamer, storyteller and roleplayer, my ancient and glorious culture is in decline and arguably dying.

I am an elf and probably, so are many of you.

Well, I’m tall, vegetarian and a bit of a spiritual and wildlife nut so I guess a tauren? Thankfully, I don’t have the voice of one… shudders

Night Elf or Mag’har because I had a neo-pagan phase as a teenager leading to a lifelong fascination with tribal eurasian culture and religion

When I Think of Mag’har I Think of the Turan Altai tribes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rPtuCvbUtw

There are elements of the Altaic people, the germanic people, the mongolian people, turkic and the finno-ugric people to them, a really neat blend of it all in general. From the Odin-like eye sacrifice of the Bleeding Hollow chiefs, to the forge-obsession of the Blackrocks. The animistic qualities of Shamanism in general and the aesthetics of wolf-skin hats. Coupled of course with the horse-nomad influences.

Blizzard really did a good job at drawing from so many influences that you could be anywhere in the world, and feel some degree of relation to the orcs

This is true I noticed as well they have some Nordic influence and germanic paganism with some of their rituals for some specific Clans. Nevertheless as I Think it’s really cool I would never dare to live in any Orc/Mag’har society knowing I would most likely die :)))

Animals not getting close … ? No way, just bring 'em on :xD

That probably settles it, i.e. I am a Night Elf at heart (who also loves the stars and nature, always did, even way before World of Warcraft :p) with the physique of a human being. That’s probably why no-one can tell irl what lies beneath ^^

I’d love to be an orc but lets face it I’m Scottish so a dwarf probably.

I’d love to be a troll, but I have more in common with Pandaren personality wise.

Blood Elf or Nightborne.

I love both Silvermoon and Suramar and I love the lore surrounding both Horde Elf races.

I’d most likely be a male Night Elf (druid) because I have the slim/athletic build and my degree is in animal conservation which fits nelves pretty well (though my addictive personality, grooming habits and poor facial hair would make me more akin to a belf).

I think a Draenei might be fun. They live almost forever!

Although I dread the idea of trying to play volleyball with a pair of hooves.
My horns would probably ruin any doorframe I passed through on a daily basis.
And I’d probably knock over even more stuff if I had hips and a tail like them!

But near eternal life doe…
