AI Generated Backstory

AI Prompt:

Billy Skellig Kul tiran sailor from Anglepoint Bay sailed with Prince Arthas’ fleet to icy Northrend where he was betrayed by the Prince and drowned with the fleet. Raised as undead scourge and under the Lich King’s control for years until he broke free with the Forsaken and joined the Horde. Now he sails the seas as a pirate and smuggler.

AI Generated Backstory:

Billy Skellig was born in the coastal town of Anglepoint Bay, as the son of a Kul Tiran fisherman. From a young age, he was fascinated by the sea and dreamed of one day becoming a sailor himself. As he grew older, he apprenticed under his father and eventually became a skilled sailor in his own right. 

In his early twenties, Billy was recruited to join Prince Arthas' fleet as they set sail for the icy continent of Northrend. He eagerly accepted the opportunity, seeing it as a chance to prove himself and make a name for himself among the sailors of Kul Tiras. 

However, things took a dark turn when Prince Arthas betrayed his men and drowned the entire fleet. Billy was among the many sailors who lost their lives in the icy waters. 

But death was not the end for Billy, as he was raised as an undead by the Lich King and forced to serve as a member of the Scourge. For years, Billy was under the Lich King's control, his will and memories subsumed by the icy grip of the king. 

However, Billy's will to live and desire to be free never died, and eventually he was able to break free from the Lich King's control and joined the Forsaken, a group of undead who had also broken free from the Lich King's control. 

With the Forsaken, Billy found a new purpose in life and a new family. He distinguished himself as a fierce and skilled warrior, and was eventually accepted as a member of the Horde, an alliance of races united in their fight against the Lich King and the Scourge. 

With the end of the war, Billy turned to a life of piracy and smuggling, using his knowledge of the seas and his fearsome reputation to become one of the most successful and feared pirates on the seas. Despite his dark past and the atrocities he committed as a member of the Scourge, Billy is respected and even admired by many of his fellow sailors and pirates, who see him as a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

Classic WoW vs. Retail WoW

Someone posted a cool RP prompt on the WoW forums with all the Classic hype. They asked a number of questions for those playing current characters and how they were 8 years ago in vanilla.

Source link

Where was your character during Classic? William “Billy” Skellig was a forsaken privateer(undead rogue) during this time, prior to his 2nd death before being raised once more as a death knight. In this timespan, he served in the Windrunner Fleet, earning his way to Captain of the Dark Defiance.

What was your character’s personality like, in the Classic era? He was a little more outgoing and reckless during this time as he had been released from the scourge and had regained his free will. He felt his resurrected life meant he had been given a second chance and he certainly wasn’t going to let the Lady Sylvanas down by wasting his new undead life.

What was your character doing during Classic WoW? He spent much of his time raiding bloodsail and brashtide vessels for both the Banshee Queen and the Blackwater Raiders. On occasion, he would seek out artifacts and treasures at the request of the Windrunner Fleet. (Hint: some potential classic guild storylines INC!!)

Have your character’s values changed over the 8 years that’ve passed between Classic and BfA? If so, how and why? Yes. When he fell in battle shortly before year 27, only to be raised once again as a death knight - once again under Arthas’ command and subsequently given free will once again after the Battle of Light’s Hope - he now knows he’s on borrowed time. Twice cursed and twice damned by the Lich King will put a damper on your spirit. All that time serving a bloody blade under the Lich King put enough horrors in his mind to fracture his sanity somewhat. Since then he’s become dark, brooding, and suspicious of others.

This looks very good. Almost as if they took the ships battles from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag and made it a multiplayer shooter game. Here’s hoping it has more depth and a campaign to it rather than just map battles with ships. #SkullandBones http://www.skullandbonesgame.com/beta

r a i n c l o u d s

“Storm be brewin” the bosun mutters, a tightness in his tone of voice. Back home, rainclouds meant nothing. But on the sea they mean something entirely different.

Back home they mean a warm fireplace. They mean family together around the hearth with a hearty meal and a steaming tea.

On the sea, storms mean hardship. A weathering of body and spirit. Crackling fireplaces are replaced with crackling thunder and lightning. Winds that stir up swells taller than mountains.

It’s here where sailors get separated from landlubbers to salty dogs. It’s here a sailor truly understands the meaning of “Hold Fast".
