Character Development

Character knowledge is kind of a double-edged sword in some aspects. You might know everything under the sun, you might be a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Azeroth's history ... but your character isn't likely going to know all of that.

When creating a character for roleplay, an almost immediate gut reaction is to incorporate as much of Warcraft's vast tapestry of history into your character's own background as humanly possible. After all, some races are so deeply entrenched in Warcraft's lore it seems almost necessary to plot and plan out exactly what happened to your character during each and every war.
