Thanks. Posting from SB.
Anyways, I have an idea that crosses over Warcraft with ASOIAF/GoT, in which Jon Snow is sent into Azeroth. He can be brought in via Jaina summoning or her portal spell gone awry in 2 ways:
1. Jon Snow in the wilderness finds the 'rabbit hole' or so to speak on Jaina's summoning. Falls in. This will lead to him trying to find a way back home.
2. when he is bleeding out when stabbed by his own brothers when he tried to rally a force to head south to finally give Ramsay the fuck off and then falls through.
If 1, Ghost would be with Jon, and he would end up in the Barrens, trying to fight for his life against the Razorfen. In battle, Rexxar would observe and then jump in, saving Jon's life. If 2, no Ghost and he's found on the brink of death by Rexxar and healed. At camp, Jon explains his story to Rexxar(after a good deal of surprise for both 1 and 2, though Rexxar is civil). Cue some exposition here and there, and Rexxar would take Jon to Thrall for answers on where is he and his situation. Of course they go through Orgrimmar, Jon not touched but glared at(having the Champion of the Horde as your escort helps) and has the odd stone or tomato thrown at. Arrives at Thrall's keep and Rexxar explains the situation, and Jon and Thrall talk. Thrall surmises this was the work of Jaina, though not by mistake as the woman isn't malicious, and Thrall points Jon the way towards Theramore, though not for a night in his personal keep for rest and recovery. There Jon makes acquaintances with Thrall and Vol'Jin, and learn how barbaric his human side has been(though he surmises that its basically human error and greed, just like in his own world) and that he may never come back to his own world again(if 2, he is bitter as he was betrayed by his brothers and may contemplate staying. If 1, he will need to find a way home). Thus Rexxar and him go on a journey to Theramore and arrive, the two becoming friends as Rexxar delivers him to Jaina Proudmoore, who expresses deep regret for displacing Jon and wants to make up for it and allows him to stay in Theramore as much as he likes. Seeing as this is Jon, he will earn his keep to help and joins the Theramore Guard, and events here and there will make him rise through the ranks to become Theramore's Commander.
Jon would have a profound influence on the Warcraft world as Commander of Theramore's Guard, which would include his numerous deeds of:
-Slaying Onyxia as he is involved in bringing Varian Wyrn back to Stormwind. He leads the party in slaying her(Rexxar helping out too).
-Leading the Alliance forces on Ahn'Qiraj at Jaina and Varian's request. First time commanding an massive army.
-Maintaining a good relationship with the Horde. This does put him at odds with many Alliance commanders and leaders, but he is invaluable in peace making.
-Being likable with Champions from both sides(You know....WoW players in a sense. He hires champions to help assist his strike force/AQ army and is considered very 'likable' and what not).
-On Jaina's request, leads a small team into Karazhan to purge the demon threat within. Could go solo, or with a small party of sorts.
-Holds down the fort whenever Jaina is away, being an effective leader.
-Is involved during the Wrathgate incident, helping Jaina ensure that war does not break out between Varian and the Horde during their allied assault on the Scourge.
-Jon is one of the main soldiers in leading the champions of the Allaince into Icecrown, doing those three dungeons before doing the raid. He and Rexxar even have an allied force(made in secret by Thrall and Jaina, so they went behind Varian and Garrosh's backs). Of course, after Jon defeats Arthas with Fordring, Jaina, Rexxar, and other champions and forces of the Ashen Verdict. As you can see, Rexxar and Jon are going to become bros.
-Here is where I am torn here: continue the story post Arthas and go into Cataclysm and Pandaria or not. Jon and Jaina could start a family, and the tension between Varian and Jon would soften(due to Jon's being friendly with the Horde). But the most important one here is Garrosh. Whether or not Jon or Rexxar allow Garrosh's plan to nuke Theramore I am not sure what to do. Jon, by that time, will be treated like a King of Theramore and loved dearly by all. If he sees it destroyed he would have lost his family/brothers in arms all over again, but then again, he maybe the only on stopping Jaina from becoming like Garrosh, or she to prevent Jon from being Garrosh. Of course, this sets up another clash between a Sha empowered Garrosh and a very powerful and skilled Jon Snow.
Over time, Jon learns many things from Jaina, including her past relationships with Arthas and Kael'thas, and how each one ended in suffering and despite the slowly growing bond between the two, both feel uneasy of committing, in part due to past troubles: Jaina with Arthas and Kael, and Jon with Ygritte. They do slowly overcome these barriers over time though, time and again they commit.
Oh, and Jon gets along easy with Dragons, so I'm rolling with R+L approach here.
So, thoughts on this?
