Draenei mage
Level 1
Ammen Vale
The first surprise was that I was a survivor of a spaceship (well, planar ship) crash. The second surprise was that the crash had just happened — that, apparently, the draenei had only just arrived on Azeroth: my first experience with wibbly-wobbly World of Warcraft time.
I awoke — yes, I'll generally be using "I" and "me" in referring to the character; deal with it — in a valley studded with large red crystals; the crystals turned out not to be a natural feature, and indeed served to drive much of the plot that followed.
