Rando Ideas: Even among the vast array of character customization options that were available to Yggdrasil's players during its run time, the player known as Rando Ideas was particularly noteworthy, due to his fascination with character concepts that defied conventional expectations. This lead to him creating unusual NPC's like hyper intelligent Ogre magic users, and Slime Monks, creatures which the people of the New World have probably never even conceived were possible.
He was also the founding leader of his own personal guild called the 'Random Goodies.' A predominantly demi human guild that sought to cast off the evil monster stereotype and take up the role of adventuring heroes. Despite managing to recruit 17 other players during the height of its power, the constant harassment from humanoid players culminating in a PVP raid upon the guild's primary headquarters lead to it finally being disbanded. As for Rando himself, he quit playing shortly afterward, claiming that the toxic fanbase stifled creative freedom for him and his fellow guild members.

Character Concept: During his time in Yggdrasil, the player known as Rando Ideas designed his character as an Ogre Magi, with a leaning towards druid and shaman themed classes. Because most spell casters had to focus on mental attributes, rather than physical ones, Rando's character would have been infinitely more intelligent than any Ogres naturally found in the New World. Though it is likely that his physical might would have suffered because of this alternate build style.
As a spell caster, Rando was particularly fond of weather magic, and specialized in spells that allowed him to control the elements of wind, water, ice and lightning. As a combatant, he specialized in fighting multiple opponents at once, using his weather magic to unleash area of effect (AoE) spells that would scatter their formations and disrupt their performances. Sadly, this strategy was not very effect against solo opponents, and forced him to burn through his MP faster than normal.
Before he finally quit playing, Rando managed to reach level 70, which fulfilled the minimum requirement to learn his first Super Tier magic spell. In keeping with his theme of weather magic, he acquired a spell called Breath of Ymir. When successfully cast, this spell would unleash a blizzard powerful enough to plunge the battlefield into an ice age that would take the equivalent of a real world week to fully thaw out. Enemies who did not have high resistance to ice based damage were likely to be frozen solid upon being hit by the spell's frigid gales!

NPC's: Before he eventually stopped playing, Rando Ideas was responsible for the creation of a variety of strange and unique non player characters. Below is a list of his most memorable ones.
Black Deathcap - A level 70 Myconid swordsman, who's blinding speed and graceful acrobatics were described as a 'lethal ballet' performed on the battlefield. According to his in game backstory, he has a strong relationship with Rose Thorne, and the two would often work together in battle. With her help, he managed to personally slay 3 players before succumbing to fatal injuries during a PVP raid upon the guild.
Phillips Hatesmith - A level 35 Brain Eater sage, who's name and vast wealth of knowledge were designed as a parody of the famous H.P Lovecraft. Because he was originally designed as a joke, Rando often neglected to train him up properly, leading to Phillips' tragic death at the hands of a PVP raid.
Fyne Deetael - A level 70 Storm Giant smith, who's primary function was forging weapons and armor for Rando and his allies. Because he was meant to be a production NPC, Fyne had very little experience with actual combat, and so he was killed when a band of PVP raiders attacked the guild.
Liquid Precision - A level 65 Slime monk, who's racial abilities were supposed to enhance their fighting style. Before her death at the hands of a PVP raid, she managed to defeat 2 of the mid level players who were participating in it, showing that the race and class combo had some potential.
Rose Thorne - A level 70 Treant ninja, who's shinobi talents made her an expert in woodland combat. According to her in game backstory, she has a strong relationship with Black Deathcap, and the two would often work together in battle. She managed to slay 2 players by herself, and assisted Black in slaying 3 others before she was finally killed during a PVP raid.
