[IMPLEMENTED] Neutral Leviathan background story

[PuЪLiㄷEиəℳy#1]

Neutral Leviathan Background Story

With Leviathan’s current presence in the STR-Neutral Tavern, I think it is just fitting if his Lich-King related storyline be discarded for a more neutral one. Just like other heroes’ storylines, this one also uses complicated words. Below is the storyline which I have created:

Formerly considered by the Old Gods as an oeuvre of the cosmos, Leviathan was thrown into the watery abyss after an alleged connivance with the Titans whom they have fought against. Chained to an anchor and guarded by a virtually indomitable kraken, the Tidehunter had lain dormant in the unfathomable depths for eons until he finally mustered enough strength to break away. He killed his enslaver, took its shell as armor and the once loathed anchor became his weapon. Unforgiving and frigid as the sea, Leviathan had sworn to disembowel everyone who would dare disturb his much valued freedom as he knocks them out with ravaging force. The terror of the tides had come at last and all those who will try to stop him shall be swept away.

Key to some words:

• oeuvre – artistic work; a work of art or literature, or such works considered as a unit, especially the complete work of a single artist. In the storyline, the artist is the cosmos or universe itself.
• cosmos - an ordered system or harmonious whole
• alleged - asserted but not yet proven to have taken place, have been committed, or be as described.
• connivance - secret joint conspiracy or plotting
• virtually – nearly; almost, but not quite
• indomitable – unconquerable; brave, determined, and impossible to defeat or frighten
• unfathomable - impossible to measure; too deep to be measured
• eon - vast amount of time; a length of time that is too long to measure
• muster - to gather people or things together
• loathe - to dislike somebody or something intensely
• frigid - very cold; lacking warmth, friendliness, or enthusiasm
• disembowel – synonymous with “eviscerate” which was in Tidehunter’s original storyline. It means to cut out substance; to remove the internal substance, elements, or parts of something (literary).

I have tried placing it in the world editor and the storyline has just enough space for it to fit in along with the learnable skills, attack range, and movement speed. Express your thoughts about my suggestion and tell me if you like it or not.

Thanks to king_james & Szpiczak for their suggested revisions... Thanks a lot! And for everyone else who gave their T-UPs, thank you very much!

thanks... I think I'll be creating several other neutral stories in the next few days...

Substance-wise, this story is very well-conceived. The concept of the story is driven well by the powerful wordplay that has been used. As for grammar and syntax, I think everything fit nicely. Too much use of eloquence seems just right as it creates a sort of archaic feel to it. Nicely done.

P.S. Why don't you expand on this a bit and create a short story of your own? Join the Epics and Legends Writing Battle.

there's an urge for me to play leviathan

[Nox.knight]

This should be in Visuals.
Anyway, T-up!!

Oh, now I get it. :P

Anyway, T-Up. Either change the story or move him to the Scourge.

The Scourge Strength Tavern is already full. But just in case he makes a switch with Slardar, this could also work for him (Slardar) by just changing a few words like the anchor into whatever Slardar's weapon is. Hey, anyone knows the name of his weapon?

Trident.

i don't think so...
a trident looks like this:



Look at Slardar's weapon...


It's a fan-art, I know, but it looks just like it in-game...

[uo111]

That's true, but the bash icon is definitely a trident. And the only other thing that that could possibly be is some type of spear or axe. And trident just sounds better for him.

I'd go for a model replacement to make things clear for everyone...
By the way, what do think about my story?

This is quite the rarity - this is a hero story suggestion written by a non-native English speaker that isn't bogged down by poor spelling/grammar and packs a creative punch. The elements described are interesting, and the use of the bigger words are artistically chosen. If there would be any flaw to mention, the story is just a bit on the long side, but finding the passage to trim down is difficult when the story as a whole is superb. Well done.

Although I'm a Filipino, I have almost mastered English as if it was my mother tongue. My fellow countrymen are very intelligent as well but sometimes they are barely noticed or even looked down upon. We have a saying, "Ang di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa mabaho at malansang isda" which translates to "One who doesn't love his native language is far worse than a smelly fish" (a saying which I found to be ironic since the one who who has first said this is a linguist who knows more than a dozen languages including Latin which is considered dead). Learning a foreign language is not a hindrance to loving one's own, it only opens the opportunities to stray in greener pastures and uplift one's own worth (which partially explains why we have a lot of OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers).

I see. I just wish there were more people like you in the world. Keep up the good work.
