First and foremost, i am French. Please forgive possible structural and verb tense errors.
1) State your name and any titles that you have earned, through service to the Horde in battle or otherwise.
Tonayba, Guardian of Cenarius
Others are considered OOC: Ambassador; Flame Keeper; Jenkins; the Argent Champion; the Noble; the Patient
2) List your race and vocation, be it Undead Mage, Orc Hunter, or any other.
Tauren Feral Druid
3) Please introduce yourself to us, as much of your personal history as you feel comfortable sharing at this time.
Tonayba is a Tauren of unknown bloodline, clan, and age. A mysterious and elusive being for the common folk of the horde and alliance alike. With reason, this Tauren learned the ways of druids among the Cenarius relatives of moonglade before disappearing... only to be randomly spotted under feline form in various locations over the continents and even into the outland. That is all the knowledge one can acquire by digging on his subject.
Truth of his story is a bit more complicated. He was a nature lover, raised in Moonglade within Cenarius descendants, Night Elves and Taurens. In his young age he learned to take aspects of various creatures and then disappeared for many years. The Tauren then spent all this time impersonating a lion of the barrens who travelled. Little by little, as his strengths developed, the Tauren forgot who he was. Now days, his mind is no different than a real animal. He hunts, feed and live by instinct. But he kept hints of his past mind, just enough to make him able to analyze specific situation and decipher what may be spoken in Orcish and Taurahe. Still deeply linked to the earthmother, the life of this Lion often brings him to the deep forest and jungles like the beautiful Ashenvale and savage Feralas where he feels home. He also despite undead and undeath, Scourge and even the Forsaken can make him uneasy, nervous and/or aggressive. For him, Life ends at death and shouldnât go beyond that.
Like all creature, this special Lion must live somewhere. Someone who would get to know his where about and gain his trust could easily keep contact. In some rare situation, possibly manage to wake his his mind a bit and force him to return to Tauren form for a limited time. This said, even in Tauren form, he generally stays feral and instinctive.
[Anything happening in cities, /1 /2 /3 channels, World Event, AH, Gold and LF JC calls are strictly OOC. IC wise, Tona wouldnât enter a capital unless a important task leads his steps there since he technically isnât of the hordeâs Tauren clan. He also wonât participate in monetary interaction.]
4) Tell us about any professions you have taken up, such as Tailoring or First Aid.
As odd as it may seem for a creature so deeply linked with the living fauna and flora, what sparks the greatest fascination to his eyes are the âshiny thingsâ. Jewels of any kind he holds onto as if his life depends on it. It is also the best way to bring his Tauren form back since it is the only way Tonayba can actually exercise his art: Transforming these shiny rocks into gems and jewelry.
[ Mining / Jewelcraft ]
5) What are the Clans, Tribes, or Guilds that you have been a part of in the past, if any?
-No guild at first but I played in a PvP server in WoW-EU back in the days of Classic WoW. Left due to Boredom, Loneliness and lot of PvP Anger
-Left EU to come in US Realm (Had to restart Tonayba) and I played into Farstrider Realm, into Golden Phoenix guild during BC until Guild dismissed. Left little after that due to extreme boredom and lack of ways to continue to develop.
-Transferred into Silver Hand to play with friends and joined Shadow of Evil guild during LK. That guild now seems to the edge of dismissing too. The new one that been created wears a name so childish that I chosen to not follow them.
6) Please describe what drew your interest in joining the Ironsong Tribe, and any memorable interactions you have had with members of Ironsong.
Wanted to join a real rp guild since the rp server donât give enough of it. Iâve looked through sites that listed out the rp guilds and I happened to find Ironsong Tribe was classified: âRP HEAVYâ and on Silver Hand. At the same time the name itself is fitting. A âTribeâ sounds and looks good bellow the name on that druid when you know his background.
7) What is the greatest trial you have faced, either long ago, or in the recent past?
My greateat trial is ooc, since IC wise, Tona couldnât be happier beside if heâd find a mate of some sort... which is not PG-13 so its not to be discussed here.
Would i need to point out one of IC matter. his greatest trial been when he left for the eastern kingdom and first arrived into the desolated land surrounding the ruins of the forsaken city. With something to deliver to the Banshee Queen, the tauren was so afraid of all the undeads that shouldnt be up and walking to his eyes that he prowled around the stinky underground until he could leave the package somewhere where it would be found. He then left with haste, heart pounding fast, wishing he was in the heart of Stormwind rather than Undercity. that forced him to face the thing he is the most afraid of... undeath.
That greatest OOC trial is: patience. I am eager to go forward, evolve and raid. That goes back to my Classic WoW where I been left alone clueless of what to do and to my first come back in BC time where I couldnât evolve because no one wanted to raid Kara, Heroic, BT in my presence. So now I came back again in LK, my impatience is quickly triggered when I see guild going to raid with pugs while I raised âpawâ to say I was available.
8) What are your current goals, or some of your greatest desires, and the reasons behind them?
As said previously, Tona is happy as is, he achieved all the goals he could want by earning the Cenarius guardian title and obtaining several âshow offâ mount such as Anzu for ground, Netherwing Drake for fly. This said, they are rarely used since he prefers the more symbiotic feeling of his natural forms. Last goal I had was to obtain a Dark Whelp. An extreme low drop rate pet that I often like to include IC. Making him Tonaâs pet to keep loneliness from affecting him too much. Only remaining IC goal been mentioned previously in 7th question.
9) What do you enjoy most in your adventures in Azeroth?
As Nomad and elusive kitten, what he likes to do the most is to come as unexpected as possible to help âyoungerâ [lower lvls] to face challenges [Dungeons, Group Quest, more] and leave as suddenly as he arrived to leave them wondering: âWho was that kitten? Certainly not that mysterious druid we heard rumor about... right?â
