Ready for this?

Born shortly after the beginning of the First War in Goldshire, Cray Auchtin was but a newborn when his family was forced to flee the town due to the Orcs attacking it. Cray, in his father's protective arms, was separated from his mother. She was not seen again.
Living with an adventurous Warrior such as Cray's father is far from easy, and the two traveled often. In the Second War, Cray's father left the boy in the city of Lordaeron for safety. When the war ended, his father returned. He had suffered injury but survived.

No longer able to handle as much excitement as he once had, Cray's father began training his son. They still traveled and adventured as much as they could and Cray became as skilled a warrior as his father -- if not more. In the Third War began, however, the two split up. Cray traveled with the Alliance to Kalimdor, while his father stayed in the Eastern Kingdoms. Somehow, his father was slain despite being in safer lands. The exact details are still unknown.

Angered upon his return, Cray sought answers or vengeance. Initially, he found his reprieve from grief only in the bottom of flagons of ale. Good fortune smiled upon the veteran, however, when he stumbled into the Stormwind Cathedral of Light near his home in Stormwind City. There, he discovered the Light and the calm he truly sought. After he had sobered up, he was sent to Northshire Abbey for training. Taking vows and finally becoming a true Paladin, Cray began adventuring across Azeroth. He particularly aided the Argent Dawn.

When the War Against the Lich King brought Heroes, soldiers, and adventurers to Northrend, Cray fervently battled against Arthas Menethil and his undead Scourge. Upon returning home from the war, Cray returned to Northshire with many Paladins. Then, the Shattering broke the world and Deathwing was released. Rather than defend against the hostilities of the Horde or the danger posed by Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer, however, Cray was ordered to return to the Eastern Plaguelands to keep the Scourge in check. The Paladin refused, and set out on his own to defend Azeroth as he saw fit.

Almost immediately, Cray began to undergo a crisis of faith. As before, Cray turned to relief in the form of alcohol and so began to frequent the tavern called the Blue Recluse. This made things worse, as Cray accidentally resurrected a Draenei Shadow Priest when she was slain in the tavern. Shortly afterwards, Cray encountered the Pia Presidium and was inspired to join them. Finding renewed faith in these like-minded individuals, Cray began to resolve his crisis of faith.

As Cray set about defending the people of Stormwind, he found himself frequently aiding and butting heads with the Stormwind City Watch. Most notably, this occured when he joined them in the manhunt for his missing friend Ferret and her captor Sathrasa. While several members of the Watch insisted Ferret be held responsible for recent murders she appeared to have committed, Cray firmly believed that Sathrasa was the driving influence behind and therefore the one responsible for the deaths. This was confirmed, but not before a confrontation with Sathrasa during which she impaled Cray through the shoulder with a magical and poisonous spear. Though Talrathis was able to offer some healing at the scene, the wound was quite severe. It was stitched closed soon after by Mithara, although the wound prevented Cray from embarking on many adventures following this.

Not long after this, Cray discovered that the book Surabar had been researching in was slowly influencing him, changing him. Although Cray was unable to solve the situation without the help of Gentyl.

Cray also discovered the third victim of the Silencer of Screams.

Cray quickly ascended the ranks of the Pia Presidium, becoming a Templar Knight and taking on squires. While he often found it difficult to control his emotions and set a good example for his squires, Cray was soon drawn into conflict with the Draenei Death Knight Cyrus, who was attempting to raise a former friend and ally from the Horde through use of a necromantic weapon -- much as the Lich King had done. With the help of the rest of the Pia Presidium, the conflict was resolved... but not before Cyrus and Cray battled several times, each time leaving Cray heavily wounded. The conflict also cost the Pia Presidium the allegiance of one of Cray's squires, Ria.

In the midst of this conflict, the terrifying Ardam burned down an orphanage in Stormwind City. Cray has sworn retribution for the act and continues to seek out a means to exact justice upon the evil-doer.

That's my WoW character's story up to this point. For my guild's website. SO LONG.

Changing an XML file so that I can run console commands in Dragon Age. Yes, I'm a cheater. No, I do not want to play through the endgame for the 12th time with my mage, whom I suck at using.

[crayauchtin]

THERE'S CHEATS IN DRAGON AGE?!?!?!?!?! You just blew my mind!

[Rosella]

In the PC version, yeah.

DON'T DO IT!! RUN!! LATEX IS EVIL!

[Haids1987]

I'm allergic to Latex. (We're taking about gloves, right? )

[Deloria]

I've had three allergic reactions in my life, but I have no idea to what. One resulted in throat-swelling, so that's probably worth figuring out though.

不，那为了废人在这个世界

I was desperately trying to find out what Delling meant. Google translate was no help.

不，那为了废人在这个世界

I was desperately trying to find out what Delling meant. Google translate was no help.

I couldn't remember which "jie" was used in "world" and while I was there, I figured I'd test out the actual phrase... so, no, google translate couldn't handle it.

不，	那	为了	废人	在	这个	世界
No，	that	for*	the worthless** people	in	this***	world

So:
No, that's for the "worthless people"/jerks/etc. in this world.

(In Chinese, a modifier such as this prepositional phrase can stand as a predicate.)
*:为了, wei le- the le is a particle
**: "worthless" is a poor translation because this character carries so much additional connotative force whereas "worthless" is a kind of bald/barefaced translation. Worthless/unpleasant/etc.
***:这个, zhe ge- the ge is a measure word: you have to insert them after numbers, demonstratives, and adjectives longer than one syllable and before the nouns they modify

ASCII Extended Characters are great. I used to know them well in DOS, but now I only use the Spanish ones in Windows. Alt+0241, Alt+0233, Alt+0243,Alt+0225,Alt+0191, et al.
