Friday Five — Speed Edition

With the triumphant return of Anna of Too Many Annas after an encounter with an elite storm last month, I was hoping to see her Friday Five series come back as well. Fortunately, Anna didn’t let us down; in “Friday Five, RP style - Speed Edition“, she encourages readers to answer five quick and simple questions regarding their characters.

Is your character tall/short/average? What kind of build?

Aniko Leanan’Sidhe, daughter of a minor sin’dorei house, stands shorter than many of her kin — a fact that has irked her to no end for centuries.
Cili — originally known as Mariska Stormborne in life — would stand taller than the average human woman, but she now walks hunched over in undeath. Fortunately undeath hasn’t been as unforgiving for her appearance, though most people would still have to look twice to note that she’s a woman.
Human Csilla Kovács is perky, busty, and rather short; the young woman stands no more than five-foot-one.
Eszti Nightwing is of average height and build for a kal’dorei. She’s a bit flat-chested, but she makes up for it with legs that would put Tina Turner to shame.
Having grown up in the open spaces of the Hinterland rather than under a mountain like many of her kin, dwarven rogue Hajnal Guthhrafn is leaner and less endowed than most of her kin.
Irenke, Spirit Woman of a forest troll tribe in the Hinterlands, is a little below average in height, but is a full figured woman. A less forgiving individual might call her overweight, but it’s all in the right places to end up with a very curvaceous and sensual woman.
Orc daughter Silent Julcsa Breakspear possesses both the height and build that is expected of her race and gender.
Fledgling tauren druid Lujza Spiritdancer is of average height and build for her age. Her clumsiness, however, makes her appear much more bulky than she is.
Cantankerous kal’dore priestess Rahel Isera’duna stands taller than many of her kin, but her body is bony and full of sharp edges.
Former Vindicator Teca e’Veritas is of average height (perhaps slightly taller), but retains the bulk from muscles that her past profession built up over the years. She is growing slightly leaner as the months pass and the draenei engages in more scholarly pursuits.

Name one thing quirky, unusual, or unexpected

Aniko possesses a soft spot in her heart for a paladin who has taken it upon himself to redeem this warlock.
Cili awoke in undeath blind; she hesitantly relies on her magic to assist her in day-to-day activities.
Csilla is a blacksmith and adores being so with every fiber of her being — including people’s reactions when they learn this dimunitive priestess should pick such a profession.
Eszti was a former sailor.
Hajnal feels astrong bond with nature and will go out of her way to avoid large settlements.
Irenke possesses a voracious appetite for men. Race is not an issue.
Julcsa shaves her head.
Lujza is literally the bull running loose in the China shop; she’s horrifically clumsy despite her surname.
Rahel really enjoys the theater, though this stubborn woman would never admit it for fear of losing face.
Teca has an almost obsessive attachment to murlocs and has spent her time since crashing onto Azeroth studying these enigmatic creatures.

Name one thing stereotypical of class, race, or origin

Aniko possesses the sin’dorei obsession and drive for the accumulation of magic.
Cili loathes everyone and everything.
Csilla is inherently a very honest and well-intentioned individual who goes out of her way to assist others.
Eszti feels most at home in the wilderness.
Hajnal doesn’t mind a stiff drink every once in a while.
Irenke speaks in the expected troll patois.
Julcsa communes with the spirits, as expected of a shaman.
Lujza enjoys picking flowers.
Rahel is a Sister of Elune, though she tends to think of her title as being something in the past.
Teca is a former Vindicator.

Favorite (or least favorite) article of clothing?

Aniko likes shoes — particularly ones with heels that grant her the appearance of standing taller.
Cili neither sees nor cares for clothing.
Csilla loathes dresses with every fiber of her being.
Eszti will not wear any article of clothing that covers her face. She relies far too much on her senses to muffle half of them.
Hajnal is fond of a jaunty hat that she picked up on her travels.
Irenke adores tight-fitting clothing that shows her curves to the best advantage. There is one “frock” in particular that she’ll wear when given the opportunity.
Julcsa doesn’t give much thought to her appearance, though she would much rather go barefoot when the opportunity presents itself.
Lujza wears bangles around her wrists and ankles that she stubbornly wears despite how jarring they are when she falls.
Rahel wears an oil-soaked rag that has been used numerous times in the past while tinkering.
Teca picked up a rather revealing top shortly after her arrival. Wearing it gives her a feeling of excitement that results from a fashion style that is probably rather jarring to the dedicated and serious draenei people.

What is your characters’ favorite color?

Aniko: Gold.
Cili: None.
Csilla: Blue.
Eszti: Silver.
Hajnal: Green.
Irenke: Red.
Julcsa: Blue.
Lujza: Blue.
Rahel: Brown.
Teca: Purple.

Responses

I don’t RP with Bashertin much, but oh well:

1. Average height for a gnome, but skinnier than most, mostly because of his constant shivering in his perpetual ice barrier.
2. He will kill vermin without thought, but depressingly regrets his actions shortly after.
3. He is eccentric. Perhaps a little too eccentric.
4. A white cowl he looted from a Shadow Council orc. No longer worn, but holds deep sentimental value.
5. Green, like his slick-styled hair.
