Largely done for fun, occasionally to help me get into the mindset of a character I either write or role-play with. Some of the ‘better’ ones I’ll post here, or any that are as close to complete as they can reasonably get. The journals are entirely unedited unless otherwise specified and written for an audience of me, myself, and I; however, if you’re like me and enjoy reading lengthy, tangent-filled ramblings of created characters then those should be right up your alley.

World of Warcraft

Beyond the Veil: A Bestiary of the Undead

An in-character work by Zirdalen’s Warcraft incarnation. It’s written during the Northrend War against the Scourge, and as such may be outdated by modern Warcraft’s current era. It features a standardized breakdown of each undead’s traits, as well as an ‘illustrated’ (read: passably edited in-game images or artwork to resemble a sketch) example. There’s several minor addendums, as well as a short overview of each type of undead.

Dragon Age: Origins

Randra

Re-imagined in the setting of Dragon Age as the scion of the Cousland family, thrust into a war previously thought unthinkable after losing everything she held dear.

Zirdalen

Adjusted from her primary incarnation to become a member of Ferelden’s Circle of Magi. An odd one even among her fellow mages, loyalty to her friends coupled with foul magics are the push needed to bring her out into a strange, hostile world–no matter how good her intentions may be.

Mass Effect

The reason why my most recent playthrough of the trilogy clocked in at over 275 hours total (without multiplayer.) I treated the journal as a combination of post-mission reports, venting, and exploring the character I created as I went through the game. The ones marked Edited were cleaned up by me to make sure there’s nothing that’d cross any lines of taste; there’s no outright smut, but I freely admit I let my mind wander more than a few times while playing. Also, my standard of ‘it’s not THAT bad’ may be off as I have actually written a shitload of smut in the past. If you want to see everything I wrote, check the Unedited ones.
