User:Elandru

Hi.

I'm Elandru Moonshyne (a.k.a Etarna Moonshyne, or Dulcamara).

Things I do
I'm the current leader of the roleplaying guild  who play on Server:Ravenholdt_Europe, an RP-PvP realm. The officers of the guild are my real-life friends (which is awesome).

I also run the unofficial realm forum for Server:Ravenholdt_Europe, which is at http://ravenholdt.eu/ (rather fittingly).

Finally, and by no means least, I develop WoW UI addons — mostly roleplaying addons.

Addons
I'm the current developer of the popular roleplaying addon MyRolePlay (compatible with the similar "RSP-style" addons flagRSP WoTLK, FlagRSP2 and ImmersionRP) after the previous developer, Moncader, quit (although he still hangs around the forum to give advice sometimes).

I also developed Emotomania, although that mod has fallen into disuse as I'm writing a flexible replacement, MyEmotes.

Stories
I've written various roleplaying stories, including one (Dulcamara I) which was highlighted by the CMs on the WoW-Europe front page. Sadly, the WoW forums have eaten many of them (which is exactly why we created the unofficial realm forum, where most of Ravenholdt-EU's roleplaying stories go now).

I go as "Dulcamara" on there, and if you search, you'll find Dulcamara I through IV, which I think are not that bad.

I wrote some about John Knotbrooke as well — he's dead now, and unfortunately thanks to the official forum's topic-eating policy, so are his stories — and the well-meaning, but slightly, um... unorthodox arcanist Penumbria Grimlocke, who is presumably living feral somewhere in the Dalaran libraries at the moment, eating her infamous conjured muffins that, unfortunately, taste of soap. (Everyone's too polite to tell her; at this point, it's felt best to humour her in case she snaps.)

History
I've been playing World of Warcraft since just after patch 1.7 as a result of being referred by a work colleague at the time who played on The Venture Co. I joined him, making a rogue named Etarna and having lots of fun, and getting to about 54 before the guild I was in split up with a lot of drama. I deleted my character, rerolled Horde along with Celcia from the same guild, and quickly discovered that I couldn't stand having a tauren druid, and Horde in general just didn't seem right for me.

I rerolled a hunter on Ravenholdt named Elandru (Etarna's little sister). I've been playing her for a long time, including killing her (and her white bear Auberon) off and bringing her back a bit different (with a black worg named Blackfang, a penchant for Gnomish engineering, and a gun instead of bow).

I also brought Etarna back, with the help of a very friendly GM who "had to dig a bit" to undelete her, being as she'd been gone for almost a year, and migrated her to Ravenholdt, renaming her with the codename Dulcamara (it's a kind of nightshade, and I thought it sounded appropriately elfy, feminine, and dangerous).

Combined with my motley collection of alts, including my bank alt Fi "The Fiddle" Tinkspinner of , and a few bit-part characters, I'm moderately active in the RP community... OK, this is a lie, I'm really an enormous slacker and spend most of my time idling in Stormwind - most of my /played has probably been spent in the Pig & Whistle! :-)

I am a notoriously slow leveller. In the time it took me to get one character midway through 78, a fellow guildie has gotten two characters to 80 with epic flyers and some time to spare.

But then, I do keep myself pretty busy with my other interests too. :)
