out-of-character INTRO - explanaition

I have a character on a game called World of Warcraft.
It is the main one I play.
It is a female human, very white skin with very black hair.
She is a paladin, which is like a knight.

What this blog is going to be is going to be a mix of "voices" telling her story. This is a creative impulse from me, an experiment, a by-the-moment unplanned creation.

I have some ideas for this character, but it's not all there yet, so there is going to be developments and changes as I go along.

That is why I've started this, but hesitated putting up the first entry. It was just going to be a quick biography, but it turned into a fuller story. I wanted to wait to see if I had more, and whose voice I wanted to use.

TECHNICALLY I should only make this HER voice, Ahzyah's. But, I've decided to make this a multi-voiced blog. As if she's trying to get to the truth about herself and she is taking in all the information she can find, trying not to get caught up in any kind of deception, but to figure out what really happened, what is happening now, and what is GOING to happen.

This is not so much about the story or characters in WoW. As of now, I am playing fast and loose with the people and places and events in the actual world of Warcraft. Will I go back and fix that? i do not know as of yet. But, I also need to say that all of it that is in Warcraft belongs solely to BLIZZARD, and even though i have created a character and am creating this story, anything directly connected to Warcraft remains copyrighted and owned by them.
So, that's why for now it only parallels some things in WoW, but I'm trying to make it my own. If BLIZZARD finds this and deems it infringement and wishes for me to take ti down, I will comply.

This is not meant to be fan fiction. This is meant to be a creative exercise.

I welcome all comments and suggestions, but ultimately I'm making the decisions and I hope you enjoy them.

OK, enough of that, huh? Let's get on with the fun, huh?
