NPCs and Me

Today's breakfast topic over on WoW Insider was a pretty neat one, so I figured I'd put down my response here as well so I can look back at it someday and giggle. For those of you who do not wish to click the link, the topic of the day was asking "If Blizzard made an NPC after you in game, what would it be, what would he or she be named, and where would he or she be located?"

-------

Chances are I'd end up being one of two NPCs.

Saz, Hoarder of Random Junk - Located on some farm out in the middle of nowhere. The yard would have copious amounts of non-combat pets wandering about, the stables and fields over filled with mounts; inside the house you'd find a library of useless books, gear strewn about everywhere, and random items on every surface. My NPC would sell a random rare trinket to those who find it, as well as offer a pet to purchase (preferably a little spectral spirit wolf, I am an Enhancement Shaman after all).

Kelebek the Wanderer - My Feral Druid would wander the world, quite literally. You'd find her stealthing through the forests of Feralas, running across the dunes of Uldum, stalking through the grasses of Stranglethorn, and pouncing through the snow drifts of Northrend. If you manage to find her she'd offer some sage advice, remain for a minute or two, then stealth away. She wouldn't have a real purpose, no spawn timer, and no real set path. She would simply be one of those Easter egg personalities that you randomly stumble upon.

The probability of either of these NPCs ever getting created are one in a bajillion, but it's still a really fun idea to toy around with. Maybe if I stop slacking and start writing more (and get my paws on some serious hardware to start making machinima) I can better my odds at helping to make this happen. Yeah okay, I don't have a shot in hell, but it's still a sort of motivator. Hmm...*Gets back to work on this month's series for Hoarders: Azeroth Edition*
