How to roleplay a human Introduction . This article is intended to explain the various roleplaying styles available to a human . No one can tell you exactly how to roleplay anything , so take below as a helping hand and a guide - not a rulebook . Basics and Traits . The Humans of Azeroth are a resilient race , who have faced a great deal of battle and conquest since their beginnings . While not as ancient as their elven brethren , they do have a rather diverse background . As such , humans are one of the most flexible races to roleplay with . Whether you want to be a grizzled veteran from the First War , or a proud champion from the Third War , or simply just a courageous young adventurer , humans allow you to forge your own unique character . Humans have a strong sense of superiority in the political affairs of the Alliance . The faction was their creation , and most take great pride in it , perhaps more than any other race . Personalities . Varian Wrynn Personality Hotheaded and irrational , this character is always itching for a fight and has no issue with slaughtering their enemies , particularly those of the Horde . Jaina Proudmoore Personality Peace loving and generous ; however , this character will attack if they are provoked and will not show restraint upon their foes . Uther Lightbringer Personality Selfless , courageous , and dignified , this character is always under the pursuit of justice and is not privy to kill when necessary . How to roleplay a class . Warrior : As a warrior , you can roleplay as one of the following : Paladin : A paladin is most likely a former member of the Order of the Silver Hand . Paladins are lawful and righteous worshippers of the Light . They deliberately hunt down evil in order to purge it . Roleplaying as a paladin requires humility , and rash paladins may be looked down upon . Rogue : Rogues are typically frowned upon in human society , as many are either thieves , bandits , traitors , or mercenaries . However , is a group of elite rogue operatives active as King Varian Wyrnn ' s secretive and loyal subjects . They have done great things in the name of Stormwind , such as reporting about the Forge of Souls and assisting in . Warlock : Warlocks are the least trusted humans , both among humans and other races . Demons played a part in the fall of Lordaeron , and warlocks were the instigators of the Third War . Roleplaying a good warlock is tricky ; in theory , a character might have embraced demonic magic for the purpose of using the Legion ' s own weapon against them . Priest : A priest ' s personality is determined upon their specilization ; a holy priest is selfless and loyal , always willing to risk their own lives for the good of others . A discipline priest will share these qualities , though with perhaps more of a vengeful streak . However , a shadow priest is the opposite of this stereotype , being violent and careless , ignoring the needs of others . Like warlocks , shadow priests are not trusted , even hated by many . Mage : A mage is a user of magic . They are usually loyal to the Alliance , though their alligences may lie with other organizations such as the Kirin Tor . Due to humans such as Medivh , magi may not be trusted . However , many great heroes such as Antonidas , Rhonin and Khadgar have shown loyalty to the Alliance and are revered among humans . It is important to keep in mind that many humans hold a biased towards arcane magic , as it has been the cause for destruction and war several times . Death Knight : A human death knight has had their ties with the Light severed when they were resurrected by the Lich King ' s dark magic . Death knights are viewed by many to be abominations , and their emotions towards them can range from pity to absolute hatred . In general , death knights are harbingers of doom and destruction , though this is not always the case . Human death knights such as Darion Mograine rose from the Lich King ' s grasp in order to fight against his tyranny . Despite possible good intentions , it is important to remember that a death knight will not be trusted on sight . Hunter : Historically , humans may have had to hunt in order to provide sustenance . Nathanos Marris is the only known human ranger , though now being of the Forsaken . Ideally , a human hunter is likely hunting in order to provide on account of Deathwing ' s plight on Azeroth , though they could also be a ranged guard for their kingdom or a mercenary with a beast companion . How to roleplay from each kingdom . " Stormwind < nowiki > : ' < / nowiki > If you roleplay as one from Stormwind , you must remember that your kingdom was once destroyed by the orcs , and your former king was killed by the Horde . It would be a good idea to RP as one who has little love for the Horde , since they invaded your kingdom . If you are from Stormwind , you have had refugee in Lordaeron , and thus you are loyal to the Alliance . Remember too , that this is the only kingdom you can RP to be from if you want have a character who remembers the days of the First War " Lordaeron : As perhaps the largest and most powerful of all kingdoms , you probably wish to reclaim your kingdom from the Undead . You can either RP as a young man who has recently started training as any class , or a veteran . But if you choose the second choice , you clearly remember how the people of Stormwind came and asked King Terenas Menethil for help . The people from Lordaeron are perhaps those who despises the undead the most , as a large percent of the inhabitants were slaughtered by the Scourge and the Burning Legion . They are good friends with all kingdoms excepts for Gilneas and Alterac , who turned their backs on the Alliance Gilneas : As one of the strongest kingdoms , your leader was once very arrogant and selfish and didn ' t show much interest in the Alliance . The best way to roleplay as a gilnean is by playing as a worgen . But , if you are NOT recently from Gilneas , then you are perhaps one of the very very few who left your kingdom and didn ' t agree with Greymane ' s selfishness . See Worgen for more information . But , like Lordaeron , the undead has ruined their kingdom , so you probably despise them as well . Stromgarde : Not so many details are written about how the people of Stromgarde was . However , what is known is that they left the Alliance after Thoras Trollbane died . Recently , his son has also fallen and then risen as a forsaken . Trollbane and Terenas were close friends and admired each other , but they left when they felt that the taxes for the rebuilding of Stormwind was too high . Now their city is ruined . Stromgarde is perhaps the smallest kingdom . But if you are from this kingdom , you probably feel that the Alliance is your only remaining safety . Or perhaps you are still loyal to them after the Second War , since the Horde did raze your kingdom , and the Alliance together vanquished them . Kul Tiras : This kingdom is on an island . They are specialized in navy combat , and were famous for their good use at the sea , where they shot down several Horde ships down . Not so many details here , either . All that can be said is that you must remember that Daelin Proudmoore lost his oldest son , Derek Proudmoore to the red dragons . Kul Tiras was never the great support in land combat , but more the firepower at the sea . Alterac : This one is a bit hard to roleplay , since most of them are now members of the Syndicate , and are hostile to the Alliance . But they were briefly affiliated with the Horde , so many others , especially from Lordaeron and Stormwind , have little love for those from Alterac . A Rogue is the best idea , because they are those who people despise and dismiss . Dalaran : This is only for the magi . The city was destroyed by Archimonde , but was later rebuilt and moved to Northrend . However , some stayed in Stormwind after their city fell , but many has now returned to their rebuilt city . See the info about how to roleplay a human mage for more details . Relation to other races . IRONFORGE DWARF : Humans and Ironforge dwarves are good friends , and have been so for long . Varian and Magni were good friends too . So it is a good idea to be kind to the dwarves , as they are perhaps your closest ally . WILDHAMMER DWARF : They were a terrific aid in the Second War , and they swore allegiance to the Alliance . They later " left " , though they are still friendly and appreciate your help . Now , with Kurdran Wildhammer ' s return , he has convinced them to rejoin the Alliance . If you RP as a veteran , it is a good idea to show respect for them , since they even shot down Red Dragons in the second war and saved the rest of Kul Tiras ' s navy . But the Wildhammers show slightly less respect for the humans as the dwarves do . GNOMES : The gnomes were crucial to earn victory in the Second War with their inventions . They are friendly , and will gladly help humans in need . So you shouldn ' t be unfriendly to those small creatures , since they only wish to help . NIGHT ELVES : Even though they remember what the humans did for them at Mount Hyjal , they are also aware that it was the humans from Theramore , not Stormwind . They show a bit more respect towards the humans of Theramore than they do towards the humans of Stormwind . But , a mage is a bad choice if you wanna RP as one with good relations to a night elf . They dislike mages , because they caused the War of the Ancients . However , humans ARE the masters of diplomacy , so show respect for them , and try to be kind towards them , since you know they ARE your allies . DRAENEI : Not much is known about their relation towards humans . But they are exactly what the Alliance needs : noble , kind and Light - worshipping people , who are not at all bad . You should be kind to them , as they are new allies , and worship the Light as well . Besides , they have wandered around for so long , so hospiitality is the least you can offer to them . HIGH ELVES : High elves are few and scattered , so their personality is individual . But you are probably most friendly to them if you are a mage . But , like the draenei , offer friendship and hospitality , since their homeland is gone and now retaken by the blood elves . HALF - ELVES : Humans , like High Elves , often disrespect and dismiss Half - elves . However , Stormwind is the one place in Azeroth with the highest concentration of Half - elves , and the discrimination and mistrust against Half - elves has started to change in recent years . There are multiple choices here . You can RP as disliking , even hating them , or you can RP as liking them , seeing them in mostly the same way as you would see a fellow human . After all , humans is possibly the most flexible race to RP , and as such almost every disposition is possible . ORC : This one can be a bit mixed ; someone still despise them , while other people ( like Jaina Proudmoore ) know that they were cursed by the Blood of Mannoroth . This is one race that can be hard . But most veterans will probably still hate them , for razing both Stormwind and Lordaeron . However , if you RP as one who fought alongside them at Mount Hyjal , then you are maybe a bit more tolerant . FORSAKEN : No , no and NO ! No humans like the forsaken ! They killed one of the last pockets of human resistance , took over Lordaeron and Gilneas , and were once your allies . They are your enemy if you are a human , one of the worst . Especially if you roleplay as a gilnean or as one from Lordaeron , there is no way you can like those monsters ! GOBLINS : While greedy , selfish and often a deceiver , you can still need them . They are creative , and wanna help you ( for a price ) , and you know it . be a bit suspicious , but they are the perfect mercenaries when there is no gnome around . TROLL : The Amani were allied with the orcs in the Second War . They helped them in their conquest of Lordaeron . They are cannibalistic , dangerous and very agile . You would probably only trust them if they were mercenaries . But in general , you should RP as if you hate them , since they despise YOU . If you RP as if you helped at Mount Hyjal , you probably know that the Horde , which also includes the Jungle Trolls , are not brutal and savage anymore . So as a veteran , you probably doesn ' t despise the Darkspear Tribe so much , but the other jungle trolls are still dangerous . Except for the Darkspears , you will probably feel the same way as you do about the Amani . BLOOD ELVES : This one may also vary from person to person . You can either rp as disgusted by their service to the Horde , or rp with sympathy for them , since they were nearly decimated when the Scourge , lead by your own former prince , ravaged their sacred lands ( which was already damaged after the Horde cut their way through the woods , slashing and burning everything in their path ) . Multiple choices . WORGEN : Many veterans still remember Greymane ' s arrogance , and how he refused to send troops , but only sent token support to fight the Horde , despite leading one of the strongest kingdoms . But another rp possibility is to give them a second change , since their kingsom was taken by the undead just like Lordaeron was . DRAGONS : If you are a veteran , you are probably not so happy to join the dragons , since both the black and red have helped the Horde , and now the Blue Dragonflight threatens to eliminate all magi on Azeroth not allied with them . However , the reds have shown their true colors after Rhonin freed Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw Clan , and later also helped out against the Scourge , willingly lending aid to the humans . So you can either be suspicious or grateful towards the red dragons , but against the Blue and Black , and neutral to the Bronze Dragonflight and Green Dragonflight . TAUREN : The same as orcs , probably . They are big , strong , but not as hostile towards the Alliance as other races of the Horde are . Still , you would do good to show respect towards the tauren , since they are much stronger and larger than you . OGRES : They are big , dumb , and think only of killing and smashing . And some ogre magi have proven deadly foes . They are dangerous , so it is good to keep your distance ! DEMONS : They were responsible for both the coming of the Scourge and the Horde . Everyone but warlocks are ruthless and uses their strength and / or magic to their maximum against them . They wish only to see you dead , so you would do best to rp as if you despise them . GNOLLS : They keep harassing settlements and farms in both Westfall , Redridge and Elwynn Forest , slaughter innocents on sight , and burn the houses after they have been razed . And they are dumb as bricks . They are the pestilence of your home .
