Personality Change

I oft find it amusing to see my personality and the way I interact with people based on the character I’m playing. I’m not all that much into the RP part of the game although I would like to (I even created a character that OMG! has a background story that is not a Mary-Sue type thing) but… I’d best explain it on a per character basis.

When I play my Shaman, my main, I am very tactful. I offer advice and help if I’m very bored. I do not speak a lot in raids (or type) unless I have something really important to say. I end up deleting most of the stuff I begin writing because I either do not find it witty enough or deep enough to share. I take on extra duties beyond what my role in the raid implies (because I’m just that nice and will spot-heal/dispel/help CC/whatever I find I can do to ease somebody else’s pain) and I go to great lengths to make sure that nothing goes wrong. I never get angry, or if I do, I do not let that transpire in /s, /p, /g or /raid. I will try to put together raids or send out invites, sort out roles and explain tactics.

When I’m on my Death Knight I’m almost the opposite of the above. I will make silly jokes, call out players for mistakes, demand justice, insist for anything that might bring me an advantage. I’m ruthless and cutthroat in both manners of language and approach. I will point out bad gemming and bad gearing (roll for a+AGI item from a different DK? Come on!), I will throw a tantrum over loosing a roll for an item I badly wanted and will express it in writing, not to its fullest potential but still. You do not want to meet me when I’m on my DK and am having a bad day. I will pick fights with people just for the fuck of it and not give up even tho I might be proven wrong (but that almost never happens). I’ll be snappy and go the extra mile to make others feel what I believe to be an intellectual superiority.

My Warlock is the bridge between the two. I am calm in general but likely to call out people that get on my bad side. I will cry a little on the inside when I loose a roll on an item I wanted but will congratulate the winner nonetheless. So far I haven’t been in any raid on this toon yet (dinged 80 6 hours of playtime ago) except for a VoA 25 PuG the other day so I don’t know how I’d react under raid circumstances. In the VoA raid I was humble and happy to have been invited seeing as I had the worst gear of the lot but when this aspect of my ‘lock game will improve I wonder and actually can’t wait to see how it will go down.
