Line 67:
* [[Perma Stubble]]: Young Uther in Warcraft II.
* [[The Paladin]]: First of them, in fact.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: In Warcraft II his name was given as [[Luke Nounverber|Uther Lightbringer]], no 'the'.
* [[White Magic]]
 
Line 90:
* [[Pillar of Light]]: When he uses his holy powers. In the battle with Doomhammer, he was glowing so brightly that the surrounding orcs couldn't bear to look at him. Normally the light is blinding to his enemies but is inspiring and gentle to his allies.
* [[Player Character]]: Turalyon is the player in the Alliance campaign of ''Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness''.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Turalyon has been missing since the events of ''Beyond the Dark Portal''. [[Word of God]] has confirmed he's still alive, but he has yet to show up in WoW's lifetime.
* [[White Magic]]
 
Line 100:
* [[The Archmage]]
* [[Badass Beard]]
** [[Wizard Beard]]: [[Depending Onon the Artist]]
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To Turalyon.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Not by choice, but as he has the body of an old man at twenty two, in "Beyond the Dark Portal" he lectures Turalyon and Alleria for denying their budding romance, as he'll never get to have the same pleasures.
Line 119:
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Never Found the Body]]: As above.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: As with Turalyon, she's been AWOL since ''Beyond the Dark Portal''.
* [[Revenge]]: Her driving motivation after her brother's death.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: She hates orcs. REALLY hates orcs.
Line 206:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: "The dragons have my son, and I want him back!"
** In ''The Shattering'', Anduin is briefly held captive when {{spoiler|Moira Bronzebeard}} enforces martial law in Ironforge and bascially puts the whole city on lockdown. [[Berserk Button|After making sure his son is alright, Varian breaks into the city with around 20 SI:7 agents, kills any of her guards that so much as look at him wrong, drags her out of her room with a knife held so close to her throat that he actually cuts her while her infant son screams in the background, and almost publicly executes her before Anduin shows up to stop him.]]
* [[Parents Asas People]]: His temper and warlike ways often drive a rift between himself and Anduin, leading to Anduin often leaving for stretches of time (to visit and train in Ironforge, under Varian's suggestion, and to study under Velen, as Anduin's own decision) and he realizes that he's not the best father.
* [[Perma Stubble]]: [[Depending Onon the Artist]].
* [[Pet the Dog]]: "Let a grieving father pass."
* [[Rightful King Returns]]: [[Hilarious in Hindsight|"Hey! The king's back!"]]
Line 251:
Despite quite possibly being the [[Only Sane Man|most reasonable human leader]], things never seem to go Jaina's way. Some time after the battle of Mount Hyjal the navy of Kul Tiras, led by her father, took over Theramore and pushed for renewed war with the reformed Horde. Jaina was unable to convince her father that the Horde had changed, and had to watch him die in battle against the Horde's champion Rexxar. In spite of her experience and foresight she is very much the junior player in the modern Alliance, compared to Stormwind and its returned king Varian Wrynn. By the time of the most recent expansion Jaina is more or less the ''sole'' Alliance leader (or at least the only one who gets any screentime) terribly interested in peace, actively defying Varian Wrynn when he seeks to wage war with the Horde.
-----
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: She's said to get more of a role in the plot for Mists of Pandaria, especially because {{spoiler|Theramore will be destroyed}}.
* [[The Archmage]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: She just wants to study and pretty much 'fell in love with her hobby'.
Line 257:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: In ''Mists of Pandaria'' {{spoiler|the Horde levels Theramore and kills most of its citizens, Jaina's put into such shock that it makes her hair go white, and the devs are teasing the idea of removing her pacifism for a burning hatred towards the Horde.}}
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Damnit, when will the rest of the Alliance start ''listening'' to her? She only, you know, helped save the world while (most of) the rest of them sat on their collective rears...
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Despite being pretty much the ''sole'' human heroine left from ''[[War CraftWarcraft]] III'' who remains uncorrupted or alive, Jaina rarely gets any real respect, and her city has shifted from the capital of the modern Alliance (as the Kalimdor-centric RPG books portray it) to a tiny backwater port, which Horde players can actually reach before level 40 for a quest.
* [[Honorary Uncle|Honorary Aunt]]: To Anduin
* [[Love Triangle]]: Between Arthas and Kael. Neither really won- or rather, Arthas did for a while before his [[Moral Event Horizon]] and eventual [[Face Heel Turn]] turned her away; the [Jaina's Locket] quest and interludes in ''Arthas: Rise of the Lich King'' make it pretty clear she still loved/loves him, however. [[Fan-Preferred Couple|And then there's Thrall.]]
Line 325:
* [[Papa Wolf]]
* [[Parental Favoritism]]: While he loved both of his sons, to the outside it seemed like he clearly showed favoritism to his younger son Darion compared to his older son Renault.
* [[Parents Asas People]]: Sure, he loves both of his sons, but he shows clear [[Parental Favoritism]] towards Darion, causing Renault to develop into a [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] in an attempt to gain his respect. Balnazzar in Dathrohan's body uses this to manipulate Renault into killing him.
* [[Red Baron]]: The Ashbringer, after the name of the same sword he wields.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
Line 360:
* {{spoiler|[[Sinister Minister]]}}
* [[Squishy Wizard|Squishy Priest]]
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]}}: {{spoiler|He appears to be absolutely worshipped by the people of Stormwind, and could easily deceive the entire populace and have them join the cause of the Old Gods if not for Varian's survival in his short story.}}
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|''"And now, Shaman, you will give the Dragon Soul to ME"''}}.
* [[White Magic]]
Line 381:
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: To Anduin
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]
* [[Parents Asas People]]: Loves Moira, but also wants a male heir, and admits to those closest to him that he was not the best father for her.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Personally lead his forces into battle during the Second War and is also a master blacksmith, having forged the [[BFS|Ashbringer]] himself.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: In ''Cataclysm''.
Line 520:
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|He joins up with Xavius in the belief that his son can be resurrected, and after this turns out to be false, joins Ragnaros because he doesn't want to live in a world without his son}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Fandral's first act upon joining Ragnaros is to attack Thrall, splitting him into four pieces to agitate the elements; but in splitting him apart, it exposed Thrall's personal weaknesses, and Aggra forced him to confront them. When Aggra and a legion of Horde and Alliance players manage to put him back together, instead of a conflicted Thrall, Ragnaros and Fandral will have a rejuvenated Go'el after them.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Fandral is a boss in the Firelands raid, as the leader of the "Druids of the Flame," who can use fire-based powers and transform into new animal forms, including a fire cat and scorpion.}}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: The whole disaster around Teldrassil's creation is because {{spoiler|Xavius ''impersonated his son's spirit'' in order to convince Fandral to create World Tree Mk. II... not knowing that [[The Corruption|Xavius had planted a demonic trace in it from the beginning.]]}}
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: He only wears a shirt in Silithus flashbacks. [http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Fandral2.jpg Just take a look.]
