My Toons

Naming Scheme

When I first created my warlock, I grabbed a book off my desk to think of a name, since I like meanings in names rather than randomly generated names.  The book was my Ancient Greek textbook, and I flipped to the dictionary in the back.  Ever since then, I’ve used Anglicized phonetic version of Greek words that usually have something to do with the purpose or spec of the toon.

Mains

Poneria | alias Ponerya | Armory
nick Pon / Pone | πονηρια — wickedness
Affliction Addiction

Pon has been my first and main ever since Feb 2008.  I’ve played her as affliction ever since then, dipping into destro and demo seriously recently in Cataclysm.  My first toons are often made as alter egos to myself, so she is human and looks like me.  Except, she was rolled as Forsaken originally!  It was just that my IRL friend who got me into WoW played Alliance.

The majority of my raiding experience has been on Pon first and most often.  In Wrath, I raided on Ama and Pon interchangeably, but upon ICC, I found that I love my warlock more, so I prioritize her first.

When I moved from Eonar to Elune, there was apparently already a “Poneria” on Elune, so her in-game name is spelled Ponerya.  I’m too lazy to ask for a change back as I’m pretty sure Elune’s original Poneria is never coming back and/or is deleted by now.  I still spell it with an ‘i’ outside of game and when referring to my toon/myself.

Amadruada | Armory
nick Ama | αμαδρυαδα — druidess
Fulltime Feral (Bear preferred)

Ama was my first alt, and I leveled her with the help of heirlooms, 1-80, in a month.  She was originally leveled as cat, with the intent to become a tree druid upon hitting 80.  While Ulduar was out, the guild was doing a Naxx 10m, and they needed a third punching bag tank so the OT could handle the zombies.  Ever since then, Ama has had a bear spec.  She was resto through Wrath, and turned her resto spec into cat to become fulltime feral once Xeny was leveled up.

I enjoy her thoroughly as a bear druid, and my bear is often the 2nd thing to gear up after my warlock, to the point of almost concurrently (if partially a tier behind) with my warlock.  I consider Ama to be an almost-main, or a main-alt.

Alts

I have many.  I love questing and primarily level through questing.  I have also gotten into the idea of PvE twinking.  Listed are ones I’ve played a chunk of time on or still play.

85 Xenychte | ξενυχτη — night owl | US-Elune
My moonkin / resto druid.  She primarily PvPs as resto and does dailies or failkin DPS as moonkin.

85 Machairi | μαχαιρι — knives | US-Elune
My rogue.  I leveled her as combat, and I like axes too much to give it up.  She is mostly my leatherworking monkey, and she dual-wields Tankards because she can.  (Also, she drinks a lot of the pick-pocketed alcohol.)

85 Charama | χαραμα — dawn / aurora | US-Elune
My paladin.  I leveled her as a questing shockadin, albeit duo with a friend on an unholy/blood DK.  She is mainly holy though I have a prot spec to solo old dungeons for shiggles.  Maybe I’ll try ret someday. Hey, retadin is fun!

85 Muala | μυαλα — mind / brains | US-Elune
My mage.  I leveled her primarily as arcane; it was the only mage spec I found entertaining enough to level while questing as, after my mage attempts.  She also has frost for tinkering with.

40s Piste | πιστη — faith | US-Elune
My priest.  Originally rolled because “Piste” (say “Pist-ay”) was too cute a name to not be a gnome priest, and then intended to be a healing priest at max level.   She started as disc, but after talking with a dual-heal guildmate about how hard it is to quest as a healing spec, her current challenge is to get to cap level while questing as a raiding healing spec.  As opposed to being a healing spec but taking DPS-minded talents, I’m taking healing-minded talents despite leveling solo.

30s Erinya | ερινυα — Erinyes / Furies | US-Elune
My baby warrior.  I’m PvE twinking her by leveling through soloing dungeons.  Then I took her questing.

60s Eremia | ερημια — wilderness | US-Elune
My baby hunter.  I went through a few different names and few different races before I settled back at night elf.

85 Chobole | χοβολη — ember | US-Elune
My “baby” warlock, rolled to serve for the guild class achievement so we can get the 8th bank tab.  He’s becoming my leveling / gearing warlock for future guides but he’s currently serving as bank monkey while he levels.

80 Astrape | αστραπη — lightning | US-Eonar
My Wrath shaman, leveled elemental and then also played as resto.  Left on Eonar as ties to former guildmates , but not played in a year.

41 Toxabele | τοξα —  bows + βελη — arrows | US-Eonar
My original baby hunter.  Her pets were all named after Latin authors.

85 Sphaira | σφαιρα — bubble | US-Eonar
My first priest, originally rolled on US-Ursin, but then later rerolled and played on Eonar in order to experience the Horde questlines before Cataclysm.  She was played primarily as shadow in Wrath, though I’ve played her as disc recently in Cataclysm.

73 Elenni | Ελενη — a Greek given name | US-Feathermoon
My first rogue, leveled as subtlety in an attempt to roleplay some.  Considering I leveled her mostly solo, she ended up more as an attempt at fiction writing.

40s Skotadi | σκοταδι — darkness | US-Drenden
Another baby priest, mostly to see the Forsaken questlines in Silverpine and Hillsbrad.  I also played her as disc in dungeons.

10s Emmone | εμμονε — persistence | US-Drenden
Another baby hunter.  Basically the Horde mirror PvE twink to Erinya, despite being a hunter.

30s Dagkana | δαγκανα — claw | US-Drenden
A baby troll druid.  Because troll cats and bears just look so frickin cool.

50s Panoukla | πανουκλα — disease | US-Drenden
I like the name, but I just can’t get a DK leveled out of Hellfire Peninsula without being bored out of my mind.  She’s rolled to a Horde DK to see if race / new questlines will help.

20s Muala | named as a joke off my mage’s LFD adventures | US-Arthas
Made as an alt for off-server friends.  Disc priest, as that was my first PvP leveling toon (on Ursin).

Guild & Raiding History

I’ve raided primarily on my warlock as affliction, and dip into destro/demo when the fight forces me.  I’ve also raided on my druid; there was a stint as resto/bear in mid-Wrath, and now as an alt raider as bear/cat.  The orange highlights are as my druid; everything else is assumed as my warlock.  Main focus result of each tier is bolded (e.g., 25man guilds focus on 25m, though also completing most of 10m).  Chronology is present to past.

PvP Raid Pinatas Bosses such as Vault of Archavon and Baradin Hold are completed, but not listed, as they are usually not considered under raid progression.

Present <– Sept 2010 | Undying Resolution of US-Elune
I moved from Conspiracy with the founders of UR in Sept 2010.

I joined as a raider (Skirmisher rank) and in tier 11 moved up to the senior raiding rank, Renegade, which I continued to hold until well into tier 13. In tier 13, after our 25H Yor’sahj kill, I was greatly honored to be promoted to the Crusader rank. Crusader is the veteran rank which UR awards to its exalted members, past and present, for their solid efforts to the guild, whether as a raider or an officer.

I raid 25man progression on my warlock, and 10mans for extra progression content.  Once a tier is mostly on farm, I’ve raided on alt 10man runs as a bear druid, including leading a Firelands alt run. I often raid as a bear in cross-realm raiding, though I’ve played other toons as well.

Dragon Soul: 4/8 H 25m, 8/8 10m; 8/8 10m

Firelands: 1/7 H 25m, 6/7 10m (7/7 10m cross-realm)
Wielder of Dragonwrath in 4.2

Bastion of Twilight: 4/4 25m, Ascendant Council
Blackwing Descent: 6/6 25m, 6/6 10m
Throne of the Four Winds: 1/2 25m, 2/2 10m, 2/2 10m

Icecrown Citadel: 11/12 25m, 12/12 10m

Sept 2010 <– Feb 2010 | Conspiracy of US-Elune
After TSR split up, I put a call out on Twitter/my blog, and was picked up by Lissanna to come to her guild at the time, Conspiracy.  

I raided in ICC 25m until the last few months of Wrath, when Conspiracy died & split off.

Ruby Sanctum: 1/1 25m

Icecrown Citadel: 3/12 H 25m, 11/12 25m, 12/12 10m
- Heroic: Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Rotface

Feb 2010 <– Feb 2008 | The Scarlet Robes of US-Eonar
My first guild through an IRL friend when I first started WoW (Feb 2008). Many friends & many, many memories.

As far as raiding goes, I was pulled along through a Kara run when I had literally dinged 70, and after that I was determined to not be lootmonkey again. I was one of the first few 80s in the guild in Wrath. I became an officer and mostly dug my paws into alt raids, even going as far to run a 5mans race just before LFD debuted.

I left the guild (& server) when horrible drama clove the guild in twain.  When I left, a large portion of TSR moved to The Gods of Eonar, so if you see any, /wave for me.
