RP Hooks
- Genedar Passenger: Nunuzac was a flight baby born and raised on the ship itself. She has no memory of Argus, but because of the slow reproduction of the draenei, that alone might make her recognizeable to some of the exiles who journeyed on the ship.
- Shaman Adept: Shamanism is the new hotness among the draenei, and she managed to wheedle her way into instruction. Likely to know other recent inductees on the path.
- Outland Wanderer: Nunuzac wanders far and wide across the shattered lands looking for elemental instabilities to repair. She is quite liable to bump into others by random circumstance!
Appearance
She sports a minor crack on the left of her widesept horns and an infectious smile. Her overall frame is long and spindly, a birdy balance of sticks and joints that steps hoof-first like a foraging egret, and very much contrasts her rounded and slightly puffed cheeks. Very large eyes gaze with a steady shine that seem to hold sprightly humor and perhaps a hint of slyness. Much of her hair holds aloft with static charge, stubbornly resisting any cohesive styling.
Personality
Nunuzac is a cheerful soul with a mischievous sense of humor—upfront and plain in general speech, but not above teasing or withholding something purely on account of finding it amusing. Her answer to why she always seems to be in good spirits is along the lines of, "I have a long time to practice." It may become apparent with exposure that she is far too old to be either innocent or naive, and seems to be using her timeless appearance and geniality with knowing deliberation. She has a good ear for Common but not confidence in her conjugations when speaking.
History
"Since the day I am born, always running, running, running."
Though the draenei people are typically longlived and slow to reproduce, life sometimes manages to happen in any particular circumstance, and Nunuzac began hers aboard the naaru ship Genedar sometime along its long traversal among worlds on end.
The destruction of Draenor and the transformation of the Broken left a major impression on her, and she suffered some injuries in the crash of the Exodar after fleeing there that left her with ongoing periodic headaches.
While recuperating with aid of Nobundo and his students, Nunuzac begged for instruction in shamanism, desiring independence from the priestly orders and communion with newly introduced (to the draenei) peoples such as the furbolg. Now that she is advancing in her skills, she has returned to Outland on a personal mission to help salvage remaining habitable fragments of land from dispersal into the Nether.
🜁 🜁 🜁
Every life unfolds from a single point that suddenly finds itself being chased. Mine sprang from the limitless dark and found itself cocooned with my kin in a fast fast pod. I was told that we could no longer see where we came from, but I saw the dark expanse and knew that wasn't true.
Each world has its own way of dividing the time. Each has its own spin and time to chase its own tail around its star. That's why we have crystal timekeeping, why our devices can listen to how fast they hum. We wrote the first recipe for the between-home minute, and no matter where you land, the truth of it is there are only so many of them in a lifetime. It is easy to forget that, in the conscious way, but all sense it, and they hurry, even if they don't know why. That is why I decided to live by the home minute, the second home minute, the twenty-third. That is what the people there live by, and you cannot really get to know them otherwise. And when you get them one on one, then you can ask them what they are looking for, and find out how long it takes them to figure it out.
Their heart minute will be distinct as well. We are not ready to return to the point yet, the friends I meet and I. I will bring my timepiece. I will do what I can.
Relationships
| Prospector Bran BEST FRIEND. A great and fun explorer! He is always happy to chat with Nunuzac and lend bits of Azerothian lore and books, and just share his enthusiasm for knowledge and new sights. Nunuzac is very fond of his curious nature and wanderlust, naturally. |
| Nesselos BEST FRIEND. He's very young and Erixa's cousin, and was among the draenei who took up shamanism practice very recently along with Nunuzac. She sees him like a little brother with a precious optimism and should be protected at all costs (nevermind he is like the size of an ice cream truck and can probably take care of himself). |
| Vindicator Erixa BEST FRIEND. A fellow Genedar baby, but several millenia younger. Nunuzac wants to encourage the Vindicator who she thinks is very responsible and Vindicatory (and pretty). |
| Sandy BEST FRIEND. Nunuzac cried on him at the Atley wedding, but then he got kidnapped and it was COMPLETLEY HORRIBLE?? Nunuzac helped with search and rescue and tried to cheer him up a bit, but feels a bit guilty she did not have more free time to offer between dragon-helping. |
| Captain Jocoza BEST FRIEND. The Captain herself helped rescue Sandy, and Northrend dragonshrines affairs, and also help sort out some problems with dragons and ethereals in Netherstorm! I bet those blue dragons took care of those eggs responsibly. Wait, blue dragons…? |
| Kaerix BEST FRIEND. Kaerix joined Cobalt Company and has helped Nunuzac meet with somebody important, and also Nunuzac learned a lot of things from her about Common and furbolg languages, which draenei deciphered some of when they landed on Azeroth. |
| Teacher Paluuva BEST FRIEND TEACHER. Nunuzac has learned from her as a young draenei several millenia ago, and even sometimes in ongoing ways learning language skills and cultural knowledge. Nunuzac still sees her as an elder figure who is due respect (despite Nunuzac's history of mischief), and Nunuzac is proud of sometimes getting to help Paluuva and other elders as an assistant in fieldwork and relationship building that helps all the draenei study and integrate in new worlds. |
| Knight Daneatley BEST FRIEND. A good sensible human who leads squads, and responsible people means less for Nunuzac to worry about or get blamed for! Nunuzac accompanied for some exciting missions and was at his wedding. |
| Ben BEST FRIEND. Wow, Ben is good for a friendly drink, and leading squads, and is very down to earth and welcoming. He helped Nunuzac with the dragonshrines in between his busy squad work and also gave Nunuzac this amazing hat. |
| Elohadference BEST FRIEND. Nunuzac joined Cobalt Company by randomly finding this paladin wading around in the swamp in Zangarmarsh and was kind of worried about him - then come to find out he's actually like super important and now Nunuzac gets to meet every king on Azeroth and also maybe kill one or two of them. |
| Orannastormbreaker BEST FRIEND. Oranna helped Nunuzac check in on Bran's cousin with the Explorer's League in the fjords, and had a lot of accurate predictions about how likely all their contraptions were to explode. You should definitely stay on the good side of someone with a good head on their shoulders like that. |
| Vindicator Pericleia BEST FRIEND. A dutiful Vindicator who worked with the other Exodar draenei to recover from their crash. Her association with Cobalt Company was another great reason to join, and she helped Nunuzac with the Explorer's League Fjord affair. |
| Paladin Ace BEST FRIEND. A paladin is like a vindicator, and Ace is the best dwarf one, always willing to put in some hard work and sharp eyes. She helped Nunuzac sort out the Explorer's League Fjord matter with bravery and got a taste of Titan language in the process. |
| Associate-Member Sabitha BEST FRIEND but Nunuzac has her eye on you (because she cares). A real life warlock?? Nunuzac said she would work with them and be nice but it's still a little scary. Like Sandy, she expects her to catch on fire any day now. |
| Lucy BEST FRIEND. Lucy is the best! She helped with the nether dragon affair in Netherstorm, and also is very good at writing down Common for the parts that Nunuzac doesn't know how to spell, which is most of it. |
| Sergeant Tadgetsharpgear, 7th Legion, I Killed a God You Know BEST FRIEND. Tadget is very enthusiastic about helping especially if knives will help. Nunuzac thinks she just needs to carefully direct the pointy end at the problem. |
| Sergeant Tibbicue… shen… Tibbs BEST FRIEND. Seems to get along well with Tadget, maybe a good influence? Maybe a stabbification intensifier? It's unclear, but having all the gnomes in one place is a lot of fun so maybe Nunuzac will just keep a healthy distance from the melee and let the magic happen. |
| Colsonaspenwood BEST FRIEND. He was there when dragons were all over the king's house and also to beat up Dimensius! He didn't have to go out of his way for Outland, but there he was getting flipped up in the air by antigravity void. For the cause. |
| Mordecaiaspenwood BEST FRIEND. He was there also to beat up Dimensius with his husband, good thing he is full of Light shields. He gave priest blessings to the Atley wedding and Nunuzac cried. Also helped investigate a druid's wolf problems in the Howling Fjord. |
| Gwen BEST FRIEND. Nunuzac does not know her too well, but she was there for dragon trouble and also is Sandy's girlfriend and seems funny and fun! Nunuzac hopes she helps keep Sandy out of trouble. |
| Sil BEST FRIEND. Sil was a regular at Bruuk's and a swell guy who does missions in Northrend now, and helped check on Bran's cousin, unearthing Titan mysteries! He helped Nunuzac learn some things about Azeroth and that this Lich King is not very diplomatic at all. |
| Lena BEST FRIEND. Lena comes to the crafting circle and by some strange twist of coincidence also works for the "marine" who wanted to talk to Nunuzac about Shamanism who also happened to be some kind of big shot boat king! Wait, wasn't Lena also the one someone told Nunuzac once that was sort of in charge of Cobalt warlocks? Maybe? It's hard to remember. She seems so nice, it would be a shame for her to catch on felfire. |
| …? BEST FRIEND. Did… Did Nunuzac catch her name? She is not sure, but she has seen her at Bruuk's and at the crafting circle in Dalaran, and she and Lena are seeing each other! Nunuzac is also seeing lots of people all the time with both eyes so she is not sure of the significance of this. |
| Confessor Etonegreennote BEST FRIEND. A sort of important Argent guy maybe? Nunuzac heard something interesting was going on in Grizzly Hills with this priest so she twisted his arm (under slightly false pretenses) to join the crafting circle then followed him back to their Argent base to snoop. His partner seems to be trying to maintain good relations with Cobalt so was happy to see Nunuzac visit. |
| Rissa BEST FRIEND. Rissa came to Bruuk's that time and mentioned she has been helping in Outland with a friend, and Outland needs a lot of help! That makes her definite friend material. She helped the Kaluak of Moa'ki and Nunuzac is curious about her druidism. |
| Flo BEST FRIEND. She also helped the Kaluak of Moa'ki and was there for meeting a real life sea goddess! She seems to be friends with Rissa and they can both become bears, which is simply fantastic. |
| Translator Ally BEST FRIEND. Met exactly once to save Ruuan Weald from imminent horrible destruction, earning them both the thanks of the Cenarion Expedition, which makes her Nunuzac's Hero Buddy. |
| Celavenevensong BEST FRIEND. Other Hero Buddy from Ruuan Weald, thinks maybe there is something going on with the black dragon whelps we rescued, but we defeated the cultists and got prizes so Nunuzac thinks it's probably fine. |
| Estel BEST FRIEND. Nunuzac has seen her around Headquarters, and also she offered some kind of priestly help for Rae and another lady, and helped with the Sandy incident. She seems to have a sense of humor which Nunuzac would definitely like to know more about. |
| Ismenehazan BEST FRIEND. Married to Ben! Nunuzac has not got the chance to talk with her much yet, but has seen her answer the call to help Rae in need, and also tirelessly putting in healing work in Dragonblight. |
| Rae BEST FRIEND. A ~Rae of Sunshine.~ She probably doesn't know she is Nunuzac's best friend yet, but one day she will, and also Nunuzac is still offput she didn't get to eavesdrop on her personal affairs that one day, so there is some mystery to unravel. |
| Cressidhaaspenwood BEST FRIEND. At least, Nunuzac hopes so. She is like this expert mage who swoops in to defend the dragonshrines and swoops away without breaking a sweat and is all polite and business. Big on squad work. Maybe friend but also super professional? Does upperclasswoman notice Nunuzac?? |
| Sentinel Velrin BEST FRIEND. Dragonshrines helper! Nunuzac does not know her too well but she is very serious about fighting and sometimes does squad work. Nunuzac hopes to help right away if Velrin ever needs it, but also hopes to let the people who are better at fighting do most of it. |
| Sentinel Auralind BEST FRIEND (Nunuzac hopes). Auralind is another Sentinel known for squad work and leadership, and she reminds Nunuzac of some draenei elders in some ways, but more fierce in others. She helped a lot with the Dragonshrines and Ahn'qiraj, and Nunuzac hopes she doesn't disapprove of her flightiness. |
| Sam BEST FRIEND. Sam showed up at Bruuk's that time to show off her Nether Box. This seems scary but also intriguing? Nunuzac would drop everything to help if Sam encounters any box-related complications. |
| Kehda BEST FRIEND. A fellow Genedar baby, Kehda has been through some hard things but she is full of amazing stories. Nunuzac is not sure what is up with that fish, though. |
| Guard Therald BEST FRIEND. He is Sandy's dad and has been through a lot in his personal life and as an Argent Dawn guy. He is good friends with Nesselos and Nunuzac feels protective. |
| Mansia BEST FRIEND. A young shaman close in age to Nesselos, accompanied Nunuzac and other shamans to help Therald look for an orc in the Ghostlands. |
| Jonashazan BEST FRIEND. Nunuzac met him at Bruuk's once and he is Ben's cousin! That is reason enough to be friends. She heard he might be up to something but it isn't in Northrend, so she hopes he is well. |
