I swear, when I find out who is writing the headings to these things…

So I set out on an epic quest to discover the makeup of space goat’s pack of hoodlums.  I even asked nicely.  Then I spied on them.  I mean, the whole cross-faction communication thing is hard enough, but when they’re on a different server?  That’s tough.

Remember.  Blood elves.  Portals.  We know things.

However, I am here to share with you what I was able to discover about Vanguard.  So let’s see…where’s my notes.  Ah.

Noq is a paladin.  Noq tanks things.  See Noq tank.  Noq apparently graduated top of her class from Stormwind Academy and baffled her trainers with an attitude indicating she didn’t care.  She skipped graduation ceremonies to solo Onyxia.  She has since solo’d Shattered Halls, and the dragon-riding achievement thingie from the Occulus.  I don’t know.  Someone mentioned it, I have no idea what that even means.  Maybe Noq is one of those dragons dressed up as a mortal?  It would explain so much.

Rhollo is a foreigner.  For some reason, this night elf still hasn’t adapted to the rest of the alliance culture.  There was some mention of tuna stew?  I don’t know.  Apparently this druid is allergic to microwaves, too.

Another one that’s a little out of place is Zubei, a space goat shaman that just recently woke up.  Remember, they crashed hard.  He’s still trying to find his place among the Alliance, and is dealing with fighting a war that was never his own with these natives who barely know what they’re up against.  I imagine the conversation was something like “Hey, glad you could join us.  We took care of that Illidan fellow, and now we’re fighting dead things.  Join in!”  From the look of things, he’s wasted no time in hopping into the fray. 

Kafive, having worked up through the ranks in Vanguard, is assisting Zubei become acclimated to the new world and the bizzare battles they’ve been swept into.  As another draenei shaman, Kafive has some insight that’s been rather helpful to the new arrival.  There seems to be some competition between the two, though, and the friendly totem-tests make them a collective force to be reckoned with.  “K5″ has recently switched to a more Elemental style of combat, and now Noq is ducking lightning bolts.

Regard is a priestess from the Stormwind Academies, first in her family to get a higher education.  While she enjoyed channeling the light and joining adventuring bands through tough situations, she eventually came to the point of being a teacher to up-and-coming soldiers of battle.  Amazingly (haha), she slowly became jaded by having to watch them so often charge forward, stumble into fire, and then flail around.  There is some rumor about her living in the stockades, a torrid love affair with someone named Bazil, and she came out of the situation as a devoted disciple of the Shadow.   Escaping that scandalous background, she joined Vanguard in the hopes of seeing new glory and fame.  Now she melts faces.

Aste is a warrior.  To be honest, Aste is a strange warrior.  Most I meet are so busy bashing things in the face and running around yelling at things, I sort of just see them as a psychotic meat shield.  Aste has…um.  Style.  A little obsessive compulsive, maybe, but I have a hard time faulting someone for wanting to look good while beating the ever-loving life-goo out of Sartharion and his minions.  This disorder also extends to some sort of need to find out more about enigmatic weaponry.

Carahil is another paladin.  A newer addition to the group, Carahil apparently made a name for herself by crashing through expectations and managing to meet Vanguard’s ridiculous standards for its fighters.  Still, I wasn’t able to find out a lot about her, but apparently she likes the shinies.  If Noq is secretly a dragon, I hear Carahil may secretly be part cat.  I don’t know how that works, and I’m not sure I want to hear theories, but I am very eager to see what happens if you shine a little red light at her feet and zip it across the floor in the middle of a battle.

Shandrell is a raven-haired mage from Stormwind.  The ONLY mage to have the tenacity to stick with Vanguard’s rigorous demands.  Apparently the woman has some long history with the group, and bowed out for a while at one point.  Once back in the fold, “Shandy” wasted no time in frostbolting anything that looked funny at Noq.  There may be something there but, uh.  Being a mage, her portals are better than mine.  And she seems to like her privacy – I’ll get back to you on this one.

Palit is a tree-druid-thing.  With aspirations of growing up to be an Ancient of Lore, Palit seems to be one of those stereotypical hippie druids that live for nothing more than to keep his band of adventurers alive and well while they keep his very flammable bark out of Sartharion’s reach.  Palit is also infamous for making ridiculous and groan-inducing puns and innuendos, usually involving trees, wood, bark, roots, branches etc.  His invitation to the guild dance party next weekend is tennuous at best.

Vonya is a space goat trollop and I hate her.  She’s been an ambassador to just about every culture that the draenei have come into contact with, but you knew that.  What you might not know is that in her past, she [Entry redacted - ed.]

 

And so far, that is what I know of the members of Vanguard.

That, and they are apparently “F-ING UNDYING BITCHES.”

But that’s just a rumor.
