READ RULES BEFORE INTERACTING !!

GAUNTER. HE / HIM. 18+

LAWS OF THE LAND. howdy !! welcome to my selective / mutuals only, largely headcanon based roleplay blog for THRALL of blizzard entertainment's warcraft franchise. i am not affiliated with blizz in any way shape or form, nor do i own thrall as a character. i am not thrall and he is not me, therefore i do not condone everything he says or does. this is just something i do for fun.i ask that you skim through this rules page and adhere to it as best you can if you intend to follow me; if i follow you back, i will do the same for you. i do not send in passwords; if i have followed you, i have read your rules, and will likely check back in the future to refresh my memory. if you didn't read my rules ( i can tell, trust me ) then that's an immediate soft block.if you at any point decide to unfollow me ( no big deal !! we have to curate our own spaces, i understand and will never hunt you down to ask or anything weird ) i please ask that you soft block me. i will do the same for you should i ever decide to unfollow.I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE WITH YOU IF YOU THINK WRITING INCEST, GRAPHIC RAPE OR SEXUAL ASSAULT, AGING UP UNDERAGE CHARACTERS FOR SMUT, HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA, RACISM, & OTHER SIMILAR TOPICS IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE "FICTION DOESN'T EQUAL REALITY". while we are all obviously not our muses, fiction does not exist in a vacuum and definitely has some bearing on the way that we actually think and act. i personally believe shoving things like rape or pedophilia or incest into narratives that have no room for it is sketchy as fuck.i understand some people write these topics to help themselves cope with their own experiences, but i don't believe doing it publicly on tumblr, tagged or otherwise, is the best way to go about that. if you feel like treating these things like fun quirky plot devices to spice up your roleplay experience, then go ahead. just do it far away from me.and of course, because i still have to fucking say this in 2022, the standard Don't Act Like A Freak rule: racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, whitewashing, erasing canon lgbtq+ people, etc etc. if i catch you engaging in any such behavior you'll receive a hard block and know that i will absolutely laugh at you in private for having the nerve to follow me and act that way.SELECTIVITY & EXCLUSIVITY. i am pretty selective, and i only write with mutuals. generally, i aim to make friends with the people i write with, and my friends will take priority when it comes to drafts / asks / plotting / etc. this is not an attempt at elitism or clique behavior, i just feel comfier writing with people that i trust and know decently well.i'm always open to making friends !! mutuals are free to IM me at any point, or ask for my discord. i do not always answer in a timely manner, but it is not because of disinterest. i am a scatterbrained person with ADHD and a shit memory who often forgets to respond to messages if you're not someone i talk to regularly. feel free to poke me respectfully and within reason if i've not answered you in a bit.i will soft block personals on sight unless it states somewhere on your blog that you have a roleplay blog, or you make that known to me in some way.MY PERCEPTION OF THRALL AS PORTRAYED HERE IS NOT STRICTLY BASED ON CANON. he has many canon divergencies. i base most of my portrayal on headcanons because i don't particularly agree with all of blizz's choices, as much as i find him to be an enriching character. feel free to ask if you have questions, and know that lore policing is not welcome here.INTERACTIONS. general roleplay etiquette applies: no godmodding unless discussed prior, no forcing ships, etc. i am of course willing to write with OCs of all sorts, though i am going to ask that you have some sort of about page / dossier or something ready for me to read. i will also probably ask you a lot of questions / just expect you to talk about your character a lot in general, so be prepared for that. i will always listen !!in regard to content warnings, i always tag generic triggers. my format is "tw [trigger]" and that does not change. if you need something specific / "uncommon" tagged please either say so in your rules or tell me directly. i will make sure it is tagged for you, no questions asked. the nature of thrall's character is pretty heavy considering his background and what he comes from, and i don't shy from talking about it. blood, gore, death, self harm, racism & slavery, child abuse, war, very occasional smut and suggestive themes, and other mature topics will be present here. again, i tag everything, but that's your heads-up.i will reblog callouts for individuals who have proven to be harmful and predatory in the roleplay community, and often times i am not afraid to voice my opinion during times of controversy or drama in the rpc. never to an excruciating extent, but it will be present from time to time. always tagged, granted, but again ... that's your heads-up.the only thing i ask that you trigger tag for me are graphic pictures of self harm, specifically people cutting themselves. i doubt i would follow anyone who would ever post that, but still. just to have it on record.PLEASE DON’T INTERACT WITH ME IF YOU FOLLOW/INTERACT WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS:STORIESUNG / JAY. callout.DEMONSLAYVR / ZAGUBIONYWILK / MILES. callout.SUNGWRATH / INANISVITAE / MARIA.UMBRANATUS / UMBRASECTA / WRATH.this list is non-negotiable. be friends with those people all you want, just do it away from me.CROSSOVERS, VERSES, & SHIPPING. i am always down for cross-overs, so if you're not a warcraft blog and you see me follow you, it's most likely because i have a crossover verse that we could write in. i do not have an established verses page yet, as i have not sat down to properly flesh any of them out yet, but i can and will ramble to you about them ooc.that being said, if you are a non-warcraft blog with a warcraft verse, that works just as well. obviously i find it easier to write with characters from things i am familiar with, so if i'm not familiar with your muse or their base lore, bear with me ( i generally won't follow you first ). ramble about them to me as if they were an oc. again, i will always listen.i'm not picky about ships, as it's not hard to get me invested in them. i'm really indifferent with thrall in particular, though my main squeeze with him is definitely THRAINA, i.e. thrall and jaina proudmoore. i will talk about it and engage in it a lot, so if you don't like it, you may want to go now.of course, i am always open to familial / platonic / hostile dynamics. too. it all just comes down to plotting. don't be afraid to hit me up !!WRITING. i have a tendency to get long with my responses, and i don't expect you to match me for length all the time. i ask you to at least try; don't slap me with a one-liner in response to a multi-para reply, but don't stress about giving me 4 paragraphs for 4 paragraphs or something either. just aim in the general ballpark, give or take a paragraph or so. i'll do the same for you.i am a format heavy blog. i don't expect you to match me with that, as formatting is not important to me. all i ask is that you PLEASE TRIM YOUR POSTS. if my formatting is difficult for you to read and you would prefer no formatting / minimal formatting on our interactions, just tell me. i am more than happy to make that adjustment for you if you need it.i am a slow writer. i take fucking forever. between my real life obligations, my many other blogs, and my poor attention span, it usually takes me a long time to actually write things. i hoard asks to be answered over time when i get to them, sometimes i sit on starters for weeks, and replies usually come out pretty slow as i have a tendency to hyperfixate on a few at a time. you are allowed to poke me every now and again for a progress update but please, PLEASE know that i am doing my best. i'm literally just slow as hell. bear this in mind if you're interested in writing with me.i use screencaps from cinematics and other source material taken by myself for my icons and graphics. i occasionally use fanart, which will always be credited here. i will also sometimes post my own art under the tag gaunter's art; please do not reblog my art unless i have given you express permission to do so. similarly, do not steal my graphics or my headcanons. i work very hard on them.i use NORTHERN LIGHTS BY SOMRESOURCES as a psd. the carrd / theme art is from MARIOFERRO ON DEVIANTART.ABOUT ME. thank you for making it this far !! my name is GAUNTER, i am a trans man with autism from the US, currently pursuing my bachelor's degree in video game art & design. my pronouns are expressly he / him and i am in the EST time zone. i am generally all over the place ( in a good way i swear ) and am not nearly intimidating as my rules make me seem. i look forward to writing some more of green bean, hopefully with you. <3THANK YOU AGAIN & HAPPY WRITING. <3

FULL NAME: Thrall, meaning "slave". while it has become common knowledge in Azeroth at this point that his birth name is Go'el, he actively chooses NOT to use this name. the name Thrall bears importance to him for personal reasons regarding his heritage and he relents for no one.
NICKNAMES: son of Durotan, Farseer, Warchief, Earth Warder, Earthbinder, World Shaman, Hero of the Third War
AGE: about 35 as of Dragonflight, but there's certainly wiggle room
BIRTH DATE: March 24th
PLACE OF BIRTH: the very outskirts of the Dark Portal, almost immediately after its opening
CHILDHOOD RESIDENCE: Durnholde, specifically in the dungeons (though in his early childhood he lived in the Foxtons' family home)
ETHNICITY: Frostwolf orc; though it is important to note there is a severe distance in his cultural identity. he was not raised by the Frostwolves and is still enveloping himself in their way of life.
NATIONALITY: Frostwolf orc
GENDER: nonbinary masc-leaning (he/him, they/them)
ROMANTIC PREFERENCE: biromantic
SEXUALITY: demisexual
RELIGION: shamanism
LIVING CONDITIONS: he has a small, cozy home and farm in Nagrand. it's humble but quiet, and Thrall likes it that way.
OCCUPATION: formerly Warchief of the Horde, Farseer of the Earthen Ring, and Earth Warder. while he is not as strong in his ability to commune with the elements as he was during his time as World Shaman, he is not completely incapable of his shamanic ability anymore. as his mental health has recovered, his power returns.APPEARANCE .EYE COLOR: bright ocean blue
HAIR COLOR: black
HEIGHT: 7 ft, 3 in
BODY BUILD: on the smaller end of the average height range for an orc, though rather tall in comparison to the clan of his birth. Thrall has a stocky build and is covered in thick, working muscle. In his younger years he was more "cut" in his appearance, but he's somewhat softened with time (though his strength has never diminished).
TATTOOS + PIERCINGS: pierced ears & cartilage, as well as his septum. nipples are also pierced. tattoo of the Horde insignia on his right shoulder.
NOTABLE PHYSICAL TRAITS: there is a very light dusting of freckles across his face, shoulders, and forearms. his skin is a pale olive green, a result of the fel magic used to resuscitate him at birth, though this is not uncommon among orcs. his scar is littered with scars from a lifetime of conflict, the brunt of which are located on his back, shoulders, the backs of his legs, and his wrists/ankles.
VOICE: soft but stern. very low and deep, but is also capable of tremendous and booming volume.FAMILY .FATHER: Durotan, son of Garad; deceased
MOTHER: Draka, daughter of Zuura; deceased
SIBLINGS: Taretha Foxton, adopted older sister; deceased
EXTENDED FAMILY: Greatmother Geyah, grandmother; deceased
PARTNER: none. my interpretation of Thrall DID NOT marry Aggra.
PETS: Snowsong, frost wolf; deceased. Nightshade, black war wolf; alive. (there are others at the farm. these are the most significant.)PERSONALITY .GREEK ZODIAC: Aries
ELEMENT: fire
MORAL ALIGNMENT: neutral good
SEVEN ROLES: tbd
ENNEAGRAM: tbd
TEMPERAMENT: Phlegmatic/Melancholic
MYERS-BRIGGS: tbd
STRENGTHS: intelligent, diplomatic, charismatic, strong-willed, caring
WEAKNESSES: people-pleasing, anxiety, self-doubt, guilt
DISPOSITION: quiet, observant, but still calm
LIKES: meditation, reading, botany & herbalism, animal care, cooking, sports
DISLIKES: hot-headedness, ignorance, conflictSKILLS .SPECIALIZED TRAINING: Thrall was trained in combat and war strategy from his early childhood by Aedelas Blackmoore, and thus retains a high knowledge of such. he was also trained in the arts of shamanism by his grandmother, Geyah, and her chosen secondary mentor for him, Aggralan.
PROFICIENCIES: hand-to-hand combat, combat with most forms of melee weaponry including axes, swords and hammers of both one and two-handed varieties, daggers, polearms, as well as longbows and crossbows. he is also proficient in elemental power, and while he has considerable sway with all the elements, he has the most favor with earth.
WEAPON OF CHOICE: the Doomhammer, a legendary orcish hammer imbued with elemental power as bestowed to him by the best friend of his deceased father and one of Thrall's many mentors, Orgrim Doomhammer. after the Legion expansion when this artifact is bestowed to the player shaman, he takes up an axe his father had made many years ago named Dra'gora. (I made up the bit about it being Durotan's LOL)OVERVIEW: TO BE RE-WRITTEN.
