Application: Anyssra Lenothel
By: guest204 Date: May 19, 2019, 2:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
- How did you learn about the Sixty Thieves?
I saw the thread pop up on the forums quite a few times, as well
as seen the guild members in-game hanging around from time to
time.
- What is your character's name and race?
She’s a female Nightborne rogue and her name is Anyssra
Lenothel.
- Why do you and your character seek to join the Sixty Thieves?
With her House’s lineage being destroyed in the Nightfallen
Rebellion, she now seeks to gather power through amassing a
fortune and a network of connections to rebuild House Lenothel
through whatever means necessary, even if it includes getting
involved in a band of thieves.
As for myself OOC, it’s because the concept is quite a niche one
with very few if any criminal RP guilds existing long enough,
I’d be more than happy to give it a go.
- Tell us about your character's background and how they
became/are becoming a criminal
Anyssra Lenothel unlike most thieving scoundrels is that of
noble blood. Bored by the long life of an elf and the wealth of
the society’s elite, in her youth she soon became infamous for
plundering the pockets of many while going by different aliases.
- What kind of skills does your character have?
Anyssra Lenothel was trained by some of the best magi of
Suramar, as such she knows a great wealth of them, but mostly
focuses on using the school of illusion, employing it for many
tricks like temporarily making copper coins look like silver or
gold or impersonating someone else with a nigh-perfect disguise.
However, Anyssra is no assassin, being very mediocre in combat
abilities.
- How powerful is your character?
Much like any mage, she definitely has a fair bit of power,
being able to make portals, set up or disable wards and so
forth, but this was mostly explained in the question before this
one.
- How would you define conflict in RP, and how do you feel about
consequences?
Conflict IC can be incredibly fun BUT only when both sides agree
to it OOC. As for consequences, they are what drives a character
in RP. However, you should really consider whether or not you’re
going to go all in with conflict and consequences before making
a character, since some characters work best with the mentality
that one day they’ll have to be killed off, while others blossom
only with the time while they’re alive.
- What would your character's nickname be?
Miss Stick (Or Mystique, pun intended)
- Anything else you'd like to share about your character or
yourself?
Anyssra Lenothel seems to be a tad lusty, which became her
undoing in Suramar. After falling for a lowborn street thief,
the information of the affair reached her parents and they
promptly secretly took away Anyssra’s heritage and exiled her
from Suramar, with her only reason for survival was stumbling on
the Rebellion. She usually wears a simple casual cloth-leather
set with a hoodie which she might pull on and off. With her
parents having sided with Elisande in the Rebellion and having
become Felsworn, some rumors suggest that Anyssra herself, being
the last of her line, carries some of the fel taint too.
As for myself, I have to say that this character is an alt of
mine and I’m rather new to Horde-side RP, but I’ve been on
Argent Dawn since the beginning of Legion. Funnily enough, when
I first joined I played a very bad criminal and I can’t help but
poke fun at myself back then. I was hoping I could give the life
of crime and chance a new chance by joining this guild!

Hello there!
Thank you for your interest, and for a very in-depth
application!
Unfortunately, the character is too powerful, concerning what
we're looking for in our members, and general guild narrative.
I'd be happy to discuss it further, and you're welcome to
contact me ingame, if you'd like. My ingame name is Nerithiala.
Otherwise, on behalf of the Sixty Thieves officer core, we wish
you a good time on the Horde side of the pond!

After having a semi-long conversation in-game with Welkin I'd
like to bring up this small retcon to make the character be more
reasonable when compared to the rest of the ne'er-do-well cast.
To explain it properly, I feel forced to coherently repeat on
her background instead of it being split in the thread before.
Anyssra Lenothel was born inside Suramar in the luxury of the
Noble District at Lenothel Estate. Her parents were a couple of
elitist Elisande loyalists and took pride in their seat of power
as well as supposedly pure blood. With the wealth of a noble and
a long life of an elf, Anyssra grew bored of that life, spending
most of her youth time which wasn't taken up by studies using
her arcane spells to get into trouble for the cheap thrills,
mostly being interested in the school of illusions. However, as
time went on, she eventually fell in love with a fellow thief
but that of low blood. Unfortunately, her parents caught wind of
the secret affair and proceeded to quickly strip her of her
heritage and exiled her out of Suramar City, forcing her to
stumble across the ruins with a lack of any mana sources, being
saved only by luckily stumbling onto the Nightfallen Rebellion
after a fair bit of time.
Which segues me into the next bit...
It is then, supposedly, that her mana addiction grew especially
severe compared to most shal'dorei, staying even after eating
the famed fruit of Arcan'dor. This addiction heavily restricts
her maximum magical casting capabilities and forces her to
consider what to spend her strength on, otherwise risking her
health and well-being to the point of blacking out from weakness
if not worse. With that said, I'd like to expand on what Anyssra
can cast (with the most common examples) and how advanced she is
in each school.
[hr]
Abjuration (high mana drain, average knowledge):
arming/disarming wards (needs reagents & time), frost armor
spell.
Conjuration (average mana drain, low knowledge): Create
Refreshments (needs time), Create Magic Hand (an arcane-conjured
hand which can be remotely controlled).
Divination (low mana drain, low knowledge): Scrying (needs
reagents & time).
Enchantment (average mana drain, average knowledge): Analyzing
Object for Arcane (needs time), Dispel (mana cost depends on the
arcane being dispelled), Enchanting (needs reagents, time, very
high mana drain).
Transmutation (very high mana drain, good knowledge): Blink,
Teleport, Create Portal.
Illusion (average mana drain but depends on the length of being
sustained, very good knowledge): Invisibility, Disguise (Alter
Image of a person/object), Create Fake Copy (something that
looks like a person/object but is not solid and can be felt akin
to a liquid if it's touched).
[hr]
Depending on her mana spent, Anyssra grows physically weaker as
was stated above and as such using magic in combat isn't a
viable strategy, her having the preference of staying out of
direct conflict.
Right, so there's that. Hopefully I didn't write too much in my
sleepless 1:00 am state there, hehe.

Hello again!
Thanks you putting effort into considering changes for your
character, and thanks for being patient waiting for a response!
Ultimately, when it comes to power-level discussions and
character skillsets, we generally don't want spells that make it
practically impossible for an opposing party to pursue us.
Hence, we frown on being able to make portals as it would offer
too easy a way out in many situations, and would hope the
character's teleports don't take them through walls or outside
buildings in a flash. Blinking a short distance to avoid an
attack, on the other hand, is fine. If spells like invisibility
and disguises via illusion are short-term (and perhaps with
other imperfections), it'd also be fine, as there'd always be
the chance to be caught. It's all about allowing the opposing
party to try and counter our characters' actions and spells in a
conflict RP situation.
If this all sounds suitable to you, then I'll happily say
approved to this application!
The Sixty Thieves will soon be out of Orgrimmar for some time as
recent plots are sending us away from the Kalimdor capital. But
if Anyssra happens to be in the region of Quel'thalas, then you
can contact an officer in-game and arrange an interview!
