I had a love of writing long before RP, so I sadly don't have any stories about That Really Awful First Character. A friend and I were both playing WoW around Cataclysm's launch, and he convinced me and another guy I know to try out RP on the Wyrmrest Accord server. My first characters were a silent Worgen (werewolf) private-eye, a snarky jerk Goblin (i.e. a standard Goblin), and a mage that was kind of crazy and liked to dip cups into his water elemental and drink from it.
Then I got hooked and went MMO-hopping and made All the Characters.
