I think this is also relevant to Lore characters, ex. THE HORDE IS T3H SUX NAO BCUZ THRALL IS G0NE AND I WANT HIS BABIEZ, THIS IS BLIZZARD MAKIN US L00C LIEK BAD GUYS BCUZ THEY R MEAN!
I was referring to both Lore and RP characters, and I'm going to remain ambiguous. :P
Fo' sho'. I am not referring to any people in particular.
Definitely.
Really.

For you budding Fan Fic writers:
How to write good:
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?

You honestly missed the irony is Always Avoid Alliteration?
Alliteration is a literary or rhetorical stylistic device that consists in repeating the same consonant sound at the beginning of two or more words in close succession. An example is the Mother Goose tongue-twister, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers …".
Those started with vowels. Thus they are not alliteration.
Technically it is Assonance.

Alliteration is used to often describe any repetition of beginning letters in words. I know the official definition for it is used to describe only consonant repetition, but it is usually accepted when speaking of vowel repetition in the same capacity.
Assonance and Consonance are used to describe letter repetition but not in the same capacity as alliteration.
Assonance describes the use of similar vowel sounds in quick repetition, and consonance is used to describe the quick repetition of a single consonant in a word or phrase.
Assonance:
D
o
y
ou
like bl
ue
?
Consonance:
P
i

er

And that's not even the most ironic of the ones! The whole list amuses in its ironic contradiction.

question about the plauge. When it affects you does it cause increase decay once your dead or is it simply natural decay that we see on all the undead peoples?
Post by

Well, you can get well-preserved undead (such as Lana'thel) so I'd assume that the decay is merely an environmental factor.

now here's another question: if you are brought back to life after death as an undead within a short period after your death and your well preserved would it be possible that some of your "Special" organs may still work?

I
personally
believe that your organs will still work, regardless of length of time from death to reanimation, but you'll be kept 'alive' by magic, not blood, oxygen or anything else.
