		<description>1. Windstar: If Windstar gets caught off-guard or flustered, she has a tendancy to just kind of freeze. Or worse, say something without thinking.
Tadrith: He can be very anti-social. He actually avoids most cities except when he desperately needs supplies, or to visit Star.

2. Windstar: Her heart. She doesn&#039;t make friends very easily, but once she does, she will literally die for them.
Tadrith: Pretty much the same. Once Tad decides someone is worth hanging around with, he will be there for that person, no matter what.

3. Windstar: Star hasn&#039;t really had one yet. She&#039;s still young, it&#039;ll happen someday.
Tadrith: Hasn&#039;t had one yet either, but when it happens, I&#039;m pretty sure a spirit beast will be involved.  :D

4. Windstar: I think, not being there when her and Tad&#039;s home village of Starbreeze was overrun by mad furbolgs. Their father was in the Emerald Dream, so their mother was alone. She survived, but went through a lot of pain and mental trauma which she hasn&#039;t completely recovered from yet. 
Tadrith: same.

5. Windstar: She is so affectionate with her friends, it may be a surprise how fierce she is when fighting or protecting someone.
Tadrith: He is very anti-social with people, but can get along with almost any animal he meets.</description>

		<description>1. For Khaotic, probably her recklessness. She sometimes has a habit of rushing into things, then thinking &quot;Oh, I should probably have planned this out first.&quot;
For Kaledain, it would be his lack of self-confidence, although he is leagues better than what he was as a teen. Khaotic still has to encourage him alot of the time, though.

2. Khaotic is loyal to the death to her friends and those she cares about. It doesn&#039;t matter to her what the problem is, if she can help in any way, she&#039;s there.
Kaledain&#039;s steadiness. It often keeps them out of major trouble when Khaotic has a &quot;see #1&quot; moment. Second choice would be his own sense of loyalty, which is almost as strong as his mate&#039;s.

3.Hrmm, Khaotic hasn&#039;t really had one yet, although that might change when they finally get to Outland/Northrend.
I think Kaled&#039;s CMoA was joining the Frostwolf orcs, even tho he -hates- fighting, and then finding and rescuing Khaotic when she was being held prisoner.

4. Kaled&#039;s &amp; Khaotic&#039;s worst moments both center around the same thing: when she was captured while fighting in Alterac. For Khaotic, she had to watch most of the soldiers under her command struck down around her before she herself was knocked unconscious. Then came the weeks of being held prisoner to some very unscrupulous humans. Won&#039;t go into details.
For Kaled, he thought she was dead, and almost death-willed himself just because he felt he couldn&#039;t live without her. He still kind of beats himself up about it at times, when he thinks that he could have rescued her a lot sooner if it hadn&#039;t been for that.

5. Khaotic is actually rather excited at the prospect of becoming a mother, which is surprising because I&#039;ve never thought of her as the maternal type.
Kaled&#039;s protectiveness over Khaotic. He is usually quiet and avoids combat unless it&#039;s totally necessary. You can insult him, his pets, or whatever and he&#039;ll take it, but if you say a word about Khaotic or try to mess with her at all then the weapons come out.

		<description>Answering for Tarquin ap Danwyrith, professional Terrible Person.

1.What is your character’s most notable flaw?
Oh jeez, I have to pick just one? Uh, I&#039;m going to say his total lack of a moral center (&quot;right&quot; and &quot;wrong&quot; are sorta places on a dartboard for Tarq), with &quot;occasionally ludicrous ego&quot; coming in a close second.

2. What is your character’s most notable strength?
-Prenatural charisma, to the point where Tarquin will be convincing someone to do something and I&#039;ll be sitting at my keyboard shouting &quot;WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! THAT&#039;S A TERRIBLE IDEA!&quot; at the screen. Good times.

3. What is their crowning moment of awesome? (stolen directly from WTT:RP and Blogatelle)
-The recent Scourge Invasion - a sleepless week spent zombie hunting in the bloodied, shuttered streets of Stormwind, culminating in the stand at the Pig and Whistle. Where &quot;Never again&quot; was born.

4.What is their most bitter moment of failure?
-It&#039;s really hard to pick just one. I have to go with the extended affair that his wife Ceil had with Loche, his eternal rival and formerly close friend. Whether Tarq&#039;s failure was causing it to happen (he believes), not seeing it, not killing Loche for it, or WANTING to kill Loche for it...well, it&#039;s pretty complex. Which is probably why he&#039;s more bitter about that than, say, unwitting involvement in attempted genocide.

5. And, in light of yesterday’s post, what’s one quality, trait, fear, or habit about your character that just doesn’t really fit or make sense with the rest of them?
-For no apparent reason, Tarquin hates pirates. He doesn&#039;t have any backstory association, hasn&#039;t really encountered piracy much in WoW, and neither Tanaris nor Stranglethorn gave me particular trouble. He just thinks they&#039;re dumb, nothing but second-rate bandits on boats, and doesn&#039;t get the big deal about them.</description>

		<description>For Rollandren:

1.  He can have an incredible mean streak to him if something close to him is threatened or attacked,  When he is truly under the gun or something valuable to him is in danger, homeland, family, or whatever, he can be willing to do things that make you stop, blink a few times, and wonder how he managed to become a paladin.

2.  He is also incredibly stubborn and, when his mind is set on doing something, nothing can stop him from doing it or dying trying to do it, not even logic.  It is almost impossible to shake him and he never tires if he is determined to fight.

3. The war against Ahn&#039;Qiraj, when the Scarab Wall opened up.  He&#039;d fought Silithid for months leading up to the event, when it came time to raise the materials for an army he dropped everything else and went to work helping, and he was at the gate when it opened, somehow managing to survive the night.  It was the first major war where he participated in the center of the action, still a point of pride to him years later.

4.  During the Scourging of Lordaeron he and his brother led a small detachment of soldiers out of Arathi, intending to volunteer in helping the defense of Dalaran and Lordaeron.  They were ambushed by Scourge a short distance into Silverpine, after choosing to march through the night.  Over half were killed outright and the rest broke ranks, eventually presumed deceased by their superiors.  It was the first time he&#039;d run away and it shook him deeply; he still holds himself responsible for the ambush and considers himself a coward for fleeing, refusing to speak about the incident to anyone.

5.  Somehow, he managed to adopt two kids and start a family of sorts.  There is a druid named Maranwe who he fell in love with also, and the net result is something half resembling a family.  We&#039;re still working on getting them hitched; it&#039;s like pulling teeth to get Rollandren to actually step forward and propose to Mara.  Knowing Roll though, it&#039;s surprising we even got him this far.</description>

		<description>I was totally feelin&#039; this topic, so I did one for another of my characters - my druid, Faisaal, who is Shizu&#039;s big brother.
-
1.  Honestly, I haven&#039;t worked with him enough to really pick up on his flaws yet - they&#039;re there, I just haven&#039;t pinpointed them. His biggest challenge right now is probably growing into his role as the leader of the Emerald Guardians; he&#039;s never really been in a leadership position before, so he has to develop into that role (which I suspect he was rather surprised to find himself in).
-
2.  Endless patience and, like his sister, a big heart. This is a guy who is able to accept his mate becoming a death knight and his sister becoming a demon hunter - not that he doesn&#039;t struggle with those decisions, of course, but he loves them enough that he&#039;s willing to work through it. He can handle a *lot.*
-
3.  During the Third War, distracting a big-ass demon long enough to allow his sister not to be killed.
-
4.  Almost getting gibbed by said demon five seconds later, along with those around him. His failure here, or what he feels is a failure, is similar to Shizu&#039;s: he simply wasn&#039;t strong enough to protect himself, let alone anyone else, and that&#039;s the kind of thing that gnaws at him. I think the only reason he didn&#039;t have a Shizu-style breakdown was because he spent the next few years in the Emerald Dream while his body healed.
-
5.  He went tree. He&#039;s always been feral in my head - his appearance and mannerisms all just screamed &#039;feral!&#039; to me - so I&#039;m amazed at how well resto fits him ICly. I&#039;m not sure how well I&#039;ll do at healing, but in RP he just makes an *awesome* tree for some reason.</description>
