How old are they (either exact or relative)? Where were they born? What major world events were going on at the time of their birth and childhood?
Oof. Well, Aheri is actually FAIRLY young, at this point in time being around 21-24 years old. She was actually born into what could have been a very loving family, her draenei father was absolutely in love with her orc mother and they had plans of building a home together in Nagrand after their child was born. Unnnnnfortunately they were both slaughtered and Aheri was taken by the ogres >>;; I’m not sure what events were going on at that time exactly, though xD
How do they fit in with the gender roles and expectations within their culture?
She is DEFINITELY more Orc than Draenei, but she has little to no experience with either culture. The whole ‘being raised as a gladiator/slave by ogres’ thing yanno.
Do they have any particular personality quirks or idiosyncrasies?
She...Doesn’t know how to emotion. All she knows is ‘fight and win or die’, so all of her expressions of emotion are attached to some sort of violence. Like someone? Punch them. Someone making you sad? Punch them. someone pissing you off? Kill them. It’s getting better with time, and with socialization, but as it is, she’s just...very violent.
What is their faction affiliation? Has it ever changed? How do they feel about their faction?
Honestly? If anything, she’d be Horde just due to the fact that she’d fit in better. As it is, Ingame at least, she’s Alliance and she LOATHES them. She sees them as nothing but pompous racists, and that extends to all races, even the Draenei (Stemming from the fact that she’s been shunned by them for being a halfbreed)She’s not currently in any faction though. She’s still a gladiator/slave.
♥ Do they seek out love or let it find them? Are they even interested in romance?
No and maybe. Right now, story-wise....Aheri is still captive to the ogres of Highmaul. Romance is the last thing on her mind.
♥ When they have a crush on someone, how do they let them know?
She would prooooooobably try and impress them. They’re impressed by strength? She’ll fight till she drops. They’re impressed by intelligence? She’ll try to teach herself to read. This is, of course, assuming that she’s attracted to anyone in the first place.
♥ Tell us about a time they were rejected.
I apologize that a lot of these questions are gonna be ‘She is still a slave so has no time or want for this to have happened yet’.
♥ Do they spend a lot of time in the courting stage or attempt to get to first base as fast as possible?
I think, with her, the courting stage would be the longest thing ever, possibly causing the interested party to, well, lose interest? Patience is key :3
♥ Do they wait to be intimate until after marriage or break all the social rules?
She doesn’t really understand ‘marriage’, so I’m pretty sure if she was comfortable with intimacy at some point, it’d just...happen.
♥ Do they have open or closed relationships?
Anything with her would have to be closed.
♥ How do they feel about polygamy?
Confused and uninterested.
♥ Are they loyal to their partners?
She would be the most loyal. Not to a fault, though.
♥ Are they patient with their partners?
She’s not patient at ALL. Which, considering how patient her partner would have to be, makes for something that could be interesting?
♥ Do they include their partners in most aspects of their life?
She...would actually enjoy this, I think. It’s better than continuing being solitary, yanno?
♥ Do they make an effort to find someone with similar views, be they political or moral?
I think it’d be hard to find someone who isn’t fine the way they are, unless they’re racist against halfbreeds and/or okay with slavery.
♥ Do they seek to find a partner purely to further the bloodline and name, is it for true love, or is it for pleasure alone?
She wouldn’t actively seek. 8U
♥ Do they sleep in the same bed/room as much as they can or do they sleep separately?
Same room, yes. But not in the same bed for a good long while.
♥ Do they make it a point to eat at least one meal a day together with their partner, or do they do as they please?
Women and cats will do as they please~
♥ Do they enjoy talking to their partners before going to sleep or is it straight to dreamland?
My art and the screenshots really do not do her justice, but here goes.
A young halfbreed who uses fists to solve problems.
Aheri's mannerisms and speech patters are more like an Orc than a Draenei. Foul-mouthed and quite lacking in social graces, Aheri knows only the laws of the arena; Kill or be killed. Live today, conquer tomorrow.
This is not to say that the grace of the Draenei has been lost. It's just...Buried. Buried deep but managing to shine through whenever a fight happens.
More often than not, Aheri can be seen nursing a bruised eye, a split lip, maybe a dislocated shoulder or even a broken bone.
Build:: Fit, lean. Think Boxer.
Body Shape:: Hourglass. Chest is flat due to Binding when in leathers. Muscular. Hooves have thick, fluffy fetlocks and her legs themselves look powerful. Tail is much longer than the normal Draenei's, nearly prehensile and easily used as a whip.
Hair:: Long enough to cascade down to the middle of back, but it is usually kept up in a messy ponytail. Dark brown in color, shines golden in the right sunlight.
Skin:: A slightly lighter brown, a bit on the grey-ish side, even. Marred here and there by various scars, each of them several shades darker than the rest of the skin. The most notable of these is a jagged scar that streaks from the left corner of the mouth all the way to that ear. Hooves are jet black and carefully trimmed and taken care of.
Armor:: Aheri's armor is made of leather that, with time, has become soft and pliable, easy to move around in. Grey, brown, earthy tones are dominant, but here and there you can catch a glimpse of some dark-red leather bits, stained such a color by blood. The helm, mask, constricts her jaw and holds her face in such a way that she is unable to open her mouth/jaw comfortably, preventing her from speaking, even if she wanted to/could.
Other:: Aheri has four horns; One set sweeps back, and the other curls around the ears, framing the face. On her forehead is a very small under-developed crest. Two meta-tusks protrude from her mouth.
Her eyes are blood red, eternally in a haze of rage.
