Around Azeroth: Transparent motivations
I'm not entirely sure what's going on in this screenshot by Frostybône of <Critheads> on Firetree (US-H), but he appears to have a string of lights in place of one eyebrow, and a motorcycle jumping over a blood elf for the other. Judging by how hideous his character looks in his armory profile, I suppose we should be thankful that most of his face is covered up and/or translucent.

Whoever sent this in deserves +internets simply for thinking that this would make it onto as an AA post...
Their arrogance (obviously a mage) seems to have paid off though..

So... they were arrogant, but deserve to be rewarded... and their arrogance was sending in an unusual screen-shot?
Does not compute. Their supposed arrogance is disproved by the fact it was chosen to be published!

Aaahhh!
I thought it was the annoying sidekick from He-Man - Orko, or worse, Dark Orko

I'm guessing that Ice Block had something to do with it...

That's exactly what I thought!

His character has some sort of transparency affect. Then he took a screenshot of his character and cut the background out from around it (replacing it with a white background). What you see is the background behind his characters outline and transparent details.

If I was to guess it's actually an overlay. Two screenshots
A screenshot of his character
A screenshot of what I think is the Tauren District in Orgrimmar
He then cut out his character, and played with some filter settings on the ORgrimmar screenshot, and overlayed the two.
That's why you see some blue shadows from the sloppy photoshopping around the sides.

I suspect it's a goblin mage standing in an Elder's spotlight zoomed just a bit so he could see through his toon. Nothing complicated.

@Tirrimas
actually it was 4 spotlights :P

I think Vivi was either trying to commit suicide, or maybe he just wanted to surprise everyone with a guest acting performance in a daily random heroic.

And now I'm hearing his theme music.
