My dirge started as an alt.... which seems to be a fairly common theme among other dirges I chat with. Kyrsten was born after my main hit L60 and that nagging voice in the back of my head reminded me of that one person who raided T5 with us all the time, who could invis, could dish out damage, who ran like the hounds of hell were chasing her, could revive the fallen, and still take a decent hit or three. My main was a conjuror and wasn't capable of much else other than winning DPS drag races, which I found to be rather boring. Enter the dirge. At the time I had no idea about all the buffs the class offered, but was in love from the start. She's now my main.
Kyrsten is a rather bloodthirsty Dark Elf, and is always ready for a fight. She knows that while her talents make her invaluable to the wise, the same range of skills sometimes makes her appear weak when directly compared to others. That's ok with her though, she knows what she's good at and has worked to excel in those areas. She fears no encounter, has no use for a shield, and feels that her place is alongside her group or raids tank - to ensure her enemies hear every demoralising word of her dismal recital while she buries a blade in their bodies. A perfect day would be filled with good friends questing together.
From an outright roleplaying perspective, she's somewhat distrusting of those she doesn't know, fiercly loyal to her friends, and has an mischevious streak that she manages to hide most of the time. She's willing to take risks with her own life and will not hesitate to throw herself in front of a vulnerable ally in an attempt to save them. Any for-pay performance would be something very dark and brooding (think Type O Negative, Rasputina, Lacuna Coil), with a stage backdrop made to resemble the Silent City.
