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*

  1. Omg! I actually commented on that today and I said I would have a specialty trinket shop. I'd be a vendor and my name would be Mighley < The Hoarder >. I would have crap everywhere, pets running around, all the guardians summoned from trinkets hanging out. Only, I would be located in Booty Bay. I'm thinking we should start a business. Let's go talk to blizz.

  2. I saw your post! You got yours up quite a few comments before mine though.

    I wouldn't mind a shop in Booty Bay, but you know how much of a hermit I am, haha. Maybe I'm the supplier and you run the shop! Mighley in Booty Bay would only be available from 8am-8pm, then the other 12 hours she could be found hanging out on the farm with me ; )

  3. Haha yes! I do love the sounds of your farm. Omg, imagine all my mounts and pets and all of your mounts and pets. I imagine would look something like ...

  4. That is pretty much exactly what our farm would be like. Though I was imagining it looking a bit like that one "hidden" farm with the two ginger Dwarves. Secluded yet kind of spacey. On a nice river somewhere (where else would we keep the water-type pets and mounts?!) with a dock...except ours would have a porch swing and beach chairs!

    ...We're going to need a lot of real estate and one heck of a mansion. Good grief.

  5. Yeah, although I was thinking somewhere in Gilneas. We both love it there, its pretty empty. Why do I have a feeling we are going to be actually searching for this perfect place tonight?
