World of Warcraft®

Alright, so! We know our characters inside out; their ticks, their wants, their likes, what they hate, their hobbies, what they do during vacation time, all that stuff.

So what would happen if you met them in real life?

Of course the idea is silly, but just consider it; what would you do if you were walking down the street and suddenly ran across your character. Would you chat them up? Run in terror? Beg for mercy? Buy them a drink and tear apart the town? Or just nod and maybe say hello with an all telling eye stare?

Give your thoughts!

Personally I would run the hell away if I met Mialera. Anyone who's been in Homeland would know why >.>
Kairesh, I'd buy him a drink. Just to hear him talk about that one time he tied up someone in Thunderbluff.
Emarn Strahn (Pia Hunter), I'd probably just nod and say hello to. Or challenge him to a poetry contest.
Nynra, I would probably avoid; not exactly a religious person, and she is a ferverent worshipper of the Light.
And Sath I would avoid like the plague. Damn pickpocket with sticky fingers...

I would greet him and explain that he is a product of my imagination, and start listing things off only I could know. And he would be intrigued by the prospect and we would have tea as he discussed the implications of our world

I'd probably pay for Gentyl's lunch. I have a habit of paying for meals for soldiers in rl, buying out every muffin in Starbucks in the Denver airport for deploying soldiers and so forth. We'd talk if she had time and then I'd pray for her.

Probably tmi.

Oh gods, what I would do if I met Tyr...

One of three things, most likely.

1: Buy her a drink, talk with her about why we hate our respective worlds, compare a little art.

2: Run away in fear from the freaky psychopathic telepathic and rather violent Staircase Elf.

3: "Hello, Tyr! You're a figment of my imagination!" Leave her in "What the F---" mode, just for kicks.

If I met Akira, I'd challenge him to a battle of sarcasm. Maybe ask how Vel's doing.

Upon meeting Zelyphra... I'd probably say hello, buy some Gypsy-ish good of hers, and unintentionally spend the rest of the day talking in a "Mama Z" accent.

And I know this isn't my character, but if I ever, for some strange reason, met Drakehide, I'd hold up a fake cactus cider, shout "GLOOOOOOOOOORIOUS" at the top of my lungs and run off giggling like a madwoman.

Hopefully not in the aforementioned "Mama Z" accent. That would be just bad.

May would punch me in the face for making her life horrible.

Just play her the Walk like Amaelalin song.

SHe may forgive you.

Or hurt you even more.

I'd get to admire the armor shortly before death by hoof.

Oh wow.

If I didn't succeed in flaying Lahkin with my pushiness, I'd probably give him a hug. And then ask him to share his sensitive deep thoughts while I shared mine. And I'm not really sure to whose benefit that would be...

While I'm sure Kagran would be interesting to talk to, if I saw an orc walking down the street with a giant wolf and a sniper rifle I would get the hell outa there.

I would buy Jack a drink and ask for a job.

If I saw Promethius I would take cover behind something and chat with him after the explosion went off.

If I saw Tokaro I would definitely stop and chat with him... Unless I found out he was my doctor... Then I would run.

I would probably buy Dernas a drink and then go hunting with him.

Haha! Awesome. If I met Drake IRL, I'd probably go for a drink with him, and we'd have a deep moral/ethical conversation based on current IC happenings. xD Cuz the character's kind of at a crossroads right now. Aside from that...I'd pretty much do the same thing you recommended, though I'd be giggling like a madman instead of a madwoman. ^^

If I met Caer'ias Aeddan IRL, I'd probably chat with him for about three minutes, realize how utterly aggravating he was, and toss him and his robot overlord all the way back to Kalimdor.

If I met Mok'Rukh...there would be cake. And that is all.

...though, if I were to meet Tyrynna, just in response to your conversation with Drake...hehehe...I'd probably run up when she wasn't looking, tap her on the shoulder, and when she turned around I'd exclaim "DON'T CALL ME BRONNY!" and then flee in the other direction, grumbling in Orcish. xD

Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm.

Well, first I'd doubt that I was sane.

If we chanced to talk--which we would, because if I knew it was Jer, I'd be all pulling him off the street fast before something bad happened to him--I would very carefully explain what the deal was. I'd actually tell him, because he's equipped to handle it. He'd probably ask for a transfer to a nicer canon, one that makes more sense. Then we'd probably have a nice long chat about the culpability of a writer/creator in the sufferings of the character. All this while we're trying to get him back to Azeroth.

This is of course dependent on me not know who I was looking at. Although, in many cases, the answer would still be the same. If I knew, and wasn't running in terror (see: zombies, werewolves, and the like...) I probably wouldn't say anything. I live, by Azerothian standards, a very sheltered, complicated, and most importantly dull, life. What would we have to speak of that approached any sort of common ground? To my characters, I am the equivalent of a townie NPC with the stats of a lvl5 critter.

Plainswander: Um, he's a giant minotaur, I'd probably keep my distance. Unless he talked to me first.

Zalmar: um, he's a seven foot tattooed troll with huge tusks, I might engage in conversation, if he talked to me first, otherwise, I'd probably steer clear. I'd definitely be leery.

Chauncer: AAAUGH! WEREWOLF! Fear, and some interest, and some fear.

Bellweather: AUGH! ZOMBIE! Sheer pants-ruining terror.

Dolmund: AAAUGH! Sheer pants-ruining terror.

Jones: I wouldn't talk to him. I don't trust reallllly pretty people. Or popular ones. Or ones wearing obvious signs of wealth. Jones is all three (although he's not wealthy, not by a long shot, he just wears a lot of metal and gems).

The thing is, all horde characters are meant to be really intimidating looking, and when it comes to strangers, I am really really easily intimidated.

Rage is huge, hairy, violent, and undead.

My response is fairly easy to figure.

"Can I have your autograph? And a piggyback ride?"

:D

We would complement usss on our tassste, yesss.

Then have usss go on a rampage, yesss.

Holy crap! It's a friggin' minotaur! *hides and stares aghast*

We would chat for hours about random nonsensical things that only we could understand the meaning of. We would also have a lot of crustacean meat, and stare at passing clouds together while pointing out what they look like. Hopefully, she would have a sulfuron slammer on her that she could try drinking... always wanted to see how that would work in real life.

I would probably find Derscha to be very amusing, and would stop to have a talk, maybe share a lunch. It would be a long talk, because she wouldn't stop with the questions... but luckily, I know her well enough to turn some of it back on her. I would ask her to sing "Anytime, Anywhere" at least once.

I greet Ketlan, but wouldn't really like to talk to her, and I doubt she would have inclination to talk to me, except for philosophical reasons. She would probably be very unnerved by meeting her "creator," if not downright angry later on when she realizes I'm to blame for her whole life. If we spent any time together, it would probably be in opposite corners of the room reading books in silence.

Elren and I would get along fabulously, and I'd ask her sing all of "our" music because she actually has a decent singing voice. She's the character I would take on a trip to the mall and hang out with.

I would chat with Kezrin, but I would never, ever, invite her to my house because I live with seven cats (not all of them are mine!) and a dog. We'd talk about annoying family members and the crazy people we have to work with.

Hopefully, she would have a sulfuron slammer on her that she could try drinking... always wanted to see how that would work in real life.

It's called a flaming rose. You take a shot of brandy and light it on fire. Then you toss the shot down, hopefully without setting yourself on fire or breathing in the flames. Although watching someone frantically slapping at his burning collar is also amusing. Or so I have heard.

For flaming alcohol shenanigans I always found... er.... heard that Bacardi 151 to be the far superior fuel source.

Y'know.

Hypothetically speaking.

You know, I believe you are correct. Hypothetically speaking.
