Personality

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Jynx thinks of herself as a business woman, and finds no moral quandary in providing harmful and illegal substances to the denizens of Azeroth. She is motivated by coin, though she also likes maintaining a rep in the black markets. She is friend to goblins and is happy to act as a channel between Stormwind and cartel “operations.” She is also willing to associate with bandits and pirates.

Despite living in a cutthroat world, Jynx is rather immature and carefree. She likes partying and drinking and using her coin to live the high life. She is amoral, but very social and prefers to keep it that way.

History

Jynx was born the second child to a family of engineers in Gnomeregan. Her birth was troublesome in that it put her mother in labor for well beyond the average amount of time, to the point where cesarean was nearly considered. It put her mother in a lot of pain to bring her into Azeroth, and even after birth she was a very fussy baby and hard to please. The infant gnome caused many sleepless nights to the point that her parents vowed never to have another baby.

Even after she left her infant and toddler stage she was a troublesome child for the family. She did not want to learn any lessons and instead go out and play. She also had trouble learning, so that it was assumed she might have been developmentally delayed. When they tried to put her to engineering the gnome found herself struggling with machinery well beyond her capability. She broke everything she put a wrench to, and caused a lot of problems in school.

Kids started causing her Jynx for the tendency to break nearly everything she touched, and for being a bad student. She was mocked for her lesser intelligence, not incredibly because the gnomes were not very cruel but she did get a sense that they viewed her as inferior. Jynx focused her frustration and destructive tendencies into rage and violence, which paid off once she had joined the Alliance military to fight in the Second War.

Once she got the taste of the battlefield she didn't want to go back to try and live a normal and domestic life. She really liked being surrounded by “trouble.” And after the Third War she started traveling to see what slice of action she could get involved with. When she moved south she found herself in the cutthroat city of Booty Bay, where anyone with a knife and a craving for risk could make coin. It was there that Jynx picked up work as a mercenary, and then moved into other operations of the cartel.

The flow of coin was addicting and she found herself having to up the ante to keep up with how fast she spent it. It came to the point where she was delivering and smuggling the goods of the cartel back into Stormwind and other parts of the Alliance. Since she had join the cartel she cut off ties with her family, which for all she know died in Gnomeregan, and she had few childhood friends. She knew she had no one to disappoint, and only herself to please.

The Steamwheedle Cartel has kept her busy and motivated even as the world was torn apart in the Shattering. Jynx is still traveling back and forth, sometimes by air, sometimes by land, sometimes by sea. She has been all over Azeroth, wherever business calls.
