The Name
“Sykepleier” is Norwegian for Nurse. In-character, it's an old Vrykul-touched word for a healer. She has no idea what it actually means.
She just liked that it sounded like sick player.

The Author
I started playing in the 1.11a beta. Stayed for a long time, through Burning Crusade, through Wrath, all the way into Cataclysm. I rage quit somewhere in there, right when the Pandaria pre-patch dropped. Reason? I had 100 quests left for the Loremaster title. The patch landed, I logged in, and suddenly I had 700 quests to go.
I walked away. Played Guild Wars for 12 years. Made peace with never finishing that title.
Then I came back. MoP Classic gave me the chance to start over, and I'm doing it properly this time, with a character I actually want to write about. Mei Lin is that character. Pandaren clicked for me. The humor, the philosophy, the way they balance peace with the willingness to fight when it matters. Her spec is Elemental main, Restoration off-spec, because sometimes the best thing you can do is hit something with lightning, and sometimes the best thing you can do is make sure everyone else survives the hitting.
I'm not a writer by trade. I'm a player who got attached to a character and wanted somewhere to put the stories. This site is a living chronicle. I write stories as I play, tying what happens in-game to her story. If you're here from the server, you've probably seen the TRP3 profile. This is the extended version, the one that keeps growing.

Terms of Engagement
✦
What I seek
- 01
Collaborative Storytelling
Stories where both characters grow. I'm not interested in winning, I'm interested in what happens next. If our characters clash, that's narrative friction, not player friction.
- 02
Elemental & Shaman RP
Storm and water, destruction and healing, humor and depth. The elemental duality is the core of this character. Anything that plays into that tension.
- 03
Character Growth
Long-form stories that let characters change over time. The Loremaster journey is a slow burn and I want the RP to match that pace.
✕
Where I draw the line
- 01
Permanent Death
Not killing off a character I've invested this much into. Near-death is great drama. Actual death is just done.
- 02
Lore-Breaking
Bending lore is fine, snapping it isn't. She's not secretly a dragon or a time traveler.
- 03
Godmodding
Don't write what my character does. She survived a black dragon. She can handle your rogue, but let me write how.

Notes on the Character
ii.
The Duality
Trained as a healer, pulled toward the storm. In every fight she's deciding which hand to use: the one that mends or the one that destroys.
Usually both.
iii.
The Colors
The TRP3 profile uses color to tell the story before words do. Each element, each character, has its own key:
- Water
- the blue of her grandmother's teaching
- Storm
- the gold that arrived without warning
- Fire
- the red that never quite leaves
- Mist
- jade reserved for her name
- Grandmother
- warm tan, home remembered

Find Me
If you see a Pandaren shaman standing in the rain, talking to her totems,
that's probably me.
Walk-ups are always welcome. I lurk in Dawn's Blossom, the Shrine of Seven Stars, and whichever canal has the fewest gryphons circling overhead.
