Week 10
5 March 2012 - 11 March 2012
Thordin Thunderfist's began his life with a very rough start as his biological parents as shortly he was born, his parents died from a cave in from a mine. They did survive the war of Three Hammers and to die in such conditions was outright disgraceful for the clan, both were given a proper burial and Thordin, the infant he was back then got adopted by his uncle and aunt who never had any luck in getting a child. They nurtured him like if he really was their own son and he quickly learned to combine two passions when he was starting to become of age, fighting and crafting. The only thing he never wanted to do is pick up weapons and armour to fight, he preferred the clothing he had and the fists to be used as maces and wrecking balls.
In the first war he was regularly seen in the field and at the camp's field-smithy repairing and maintaining armaments. It's also where he got most of his scars due to his sometimes idiotic but ingenious plans when going head-on with the enemy. This pattern repeated itself in an endless cycle almost that allowed him to train both of his passions while feasting in between.

Week 9
27 February 2012 - 4 March 2012
Celestia's parents, Mezzul and Garina, first were partners in battle, seeking to assist their kind in any ways required. Mezzul was a Vindicator and Garina an Anchorite. They fought side on side in many battles, their respect and admiration for each other eventually became love and from that love Celes was born. She was born during the Draenei escape from Argus. She was born in the dimensional ship Oshu'gun, and like many births, hers was very celebrated. Garina expected to raise her to be an anchorite, like her. She was known for being a very strict woman, though Mezzul, in love with her, didn't think this would someday become something bad.
For some time, Celes grew learning of the ways of the Light, the same way many draenei do, however she never showed much skill or prowess with manipulating the Light, except to use the lowest form of Light draenei use, Gift of the Naaru. Her lack of ability frustrated Garina, who had her mind set into making Celes a proper Anchorite, one that could assist and perhaps replace her once the time was right. Garina set Celes to learn with a personal tutor, having private studies about the Light to see if she could yet develop the ability to use it.

Week 8
20 February 2012 - 26 February 2012
Annabelle Greene's family starts in the traitorous nation of Alterac. Her father, fleeing his noble family once the nation turned traitorous, ended up in the smokey city of Ironforge. Here, he would meet the girl's mother, also a refugee, but from the Southern Kingdoms once the orcs conquered the human lands. Love blossomed, the two married, the man adopting his wife's name and abandoning his old one: Bisen. Soon enough, the woman became expectant. Nine months later, Annabelle Greene was introduced to the world in one of Ironforge's medical rooms in the Mystic Ward.
The girl grew for eight years amongst the smoke, ash, and rumble of machines in the mountain city. Her life was quite middle-class, supported by the small chest of gold her father fled with and other things that ended up being sold from his ex-life once he reached the city. She grew to love the tinkering of machines, but her spiritual side was also sparked in the peaceful temple of the Mystic Ward.

Week 7
13 February 2012 - 19 February 2012
Cassius Palenix was born from a widowed mother in the city of Stratholme. His father apparently died choking to death after drinking a mug of bourbon not to long after impregnating his wife. Little did anyone know that Cassius' father was actually poisoned by his own wife. Cassius' mother, Janice, was a selfish, hypocritical and demanding woman. Not to mention, she was an arcanist.
Cassius' childhood was a complicated one, his mother would always threaten to use arcane magic on him and even occasionally use him for her own twisted amusement. Cassius was obviously forced to do all the work around the house when he was physically capable of doing so, if he didn't, he'd be turned into a sheep, heavily beaten by his mother's arcane magic or in worst case scenarios, both. He was sometimes beaten to the point of getting a broken limb or getting heavily bruised by his mother's attacks. He was always threatened by his mother to not tell anything.

Week 6
6 February 2012 - 12 February 2012
Reigen Dawnsend was born in the village of Suncrown in what now is called the Ghostlands. She was the youngest of four children during the time, having two older brothers and two older sisters. A younger sibling, a sister, would follow later in life. The family was large and lived in a cramped, single room home. Curtains and clothing were used to divide the room up between the parents, the girls, and the boys. The family was of extremely low class, sacrificing much in order to get by. Sometimes they would go a while without food and soon grew used to it, though it did horrible things to the family's health.
Reigen was a premature child, though it's wondered by her family if that would have changed much. She was born very weak and fragile, anything more than a touch would cause the child to bruise. The small child was unable to move on her own, often rasping for breath and having to be force-fed in order to survive. Whatever she had to eat would be pushed into her mouth and her throat rubbed in order to make her swallow. If not for the donations that the little village would give to the small family, the young girl would have perished before she could even open her eyes.

Week 5
30 January 2012 - 5 February 2012
Cristovao di Silvio was born just before the First War, in Lordaeron. His father was a paladin who served the Alliance of Lordaeron, however when Cristovao was but a small child, his father was among the valiant knights who went into the Dark Portal and never returned, forever leaving an impression on the child.
Following the Second War, Cristo grew up a fairly normal lifestyle in Lordaeron, making friends with both the High Elves and the Dwarves, including who would become his closest traveling companion in years to come, a dwarf warrior named Skala. While his mother wished for Cristo to maintain a peaceful livelihood, raising him to be an academic and a scribe, Cristo would nonetheless take up the path of the paladin like his father before him. This would ultimately be what saves his life from the Third War.

Week 4
23 January 2012 - 29 January 2012
Dibykali was born in the orc internment camps. Like most of the orcs within the camps, her parents were listless and uninspired, made lethargic by the long imprisonment. She was named Dibykali for her mischief, though her parents did not mind as it was a rare sign of life in an otherwise dismal situation.
Finally, the day came when Thrall rescued the imprisoned orcs, and in their thankfulness they followed his plans to travel across the seas. It was during that time that the orcs shipwrecked on the Darkspear Islands, where Diby's parents were killed by the murlocs. During the escape, one of the Darkspears named Kela'rin saw Diby crying by her dead parents, and she took her to safety on the ships as Thrall held off the advancing forces.

Dunkhaan was born on the vessel Oshu'gun during its travels to find a new home world. He had an early fascination with the many different worlds visited, and to this day felt that those times of exploration were the height of Draenei society.
Enjoying the landscapes and species on the different worlds, he had a connection with both the natural worlds they visited as well as the ship and technology used to explore. Growing up, he became a scout and explorer. During his trips at the various planets, he grew fond of the cultures of the inhabitants, and became a collector of small items that he received from these villages, mainly trinkets and small totems to remember the journey by.
