The Player Character in WoW

Rising heroes. Player characters are all a part of the story and the heroes that help push the story along to move on to the next chapter.

Q u o t e:


"As massive as armies may be, they are nothing without heroes to lead and inspire them." Or something along that line, eh?

That is correct. There is a certain amount of suspension of disbelief given that this is a game with technical constraints, but as far as anything beyond that, your story is your own within it. So for all I know, you could be a grudging hero. Perhaps you aspired to being a hero your whole life. Perhaps you are a hero above others (they just don't know you're better than them) etc. The world needs heroes big and small (gnomes) and even the most menial of tasks mean a little extra push on your journey to bigger things.
