Lorrenar / 1. Where was your OC born, and where did they grow up?

Thinking of your OC's childhoods is so fun, highly recommend if you want free mind worms

1. Where was your OC born, and where did they grow up?

Eversong woods, more specifically to rangers who lived close to Fairbreeze village. Lorrenar would live most of his childhood (>18) attending school just outside of Silvermoon and following after-school activities like scouting. Though truth be told he had no desire to follow in his parent's plans of becoming a woodlands ranger or marksman, so he did what any rational kid would do. Skirt after-school curriculum and go do odd jobs in the city to save up. He also loved to sing and write poetry, much to the chagrin of his mother specifically.

Then once he was a fresh-faced adult, he would wave it away entirely to become a choir boy in Lordaeron for a century or so as a cultural exchange student. When he returned to Eversong, he had become a fledgling priest who was versed in mending first and foremost - but also partook in group chanting and the more ritualistic part of spirituality.

sorry omg im rambling 😭😭 thank you so much for the ask!! <3

hey. grisps you. 12 Lorrenar, 13 Kel'lastor, 32 Menno, 44 Jaethrin. and a side of fries

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ??? 🐦

(longish post, to not take up entire screens <3)

12. What is the worst thing that has happened to your OC? How has it affected their behavior, their health, and their life in general?

It feels a bit like a cliche to say the fall of QT, so. Meathook time. This took place sometime after the events of TBC, just before WotLK for reference sake in the TL. Lorrenar was visiting the ruins of Lordaeron, trying to reacquaint himself with the lands when he was found by three scarlets patrolling the lake between SM and Brill. He killed one guy out of reflex for discovering him, then he was smacked over the head from behind, kidnapped, tortured, healed by scarlet priests only to have it resume.

He was a husk of a man by the time he escaped, given an opening by adventurers raiding the wing close to were he was held captive at. He has since had a borderline phobia developed for humans, despite working with them since on numerous times he seems to be overly weary of them. He's also had a few years of light and physical therapy following said events to gain his strength back, eventually joining service as a member of the Argent Crusade to serve in Icecrown for a while. But.. given he was still in recovery at that point, he was stationed at the tournament grounds.

13. What is something your OC does (to others) that they would not like if others did to them? Are they aware that they do this?

Being snarky and/or passive aggressive, oh my lord. If you manage to get Kel'lastor out of his shell and finds your vibes rancid, he will let you know about it somehow. But also he just, does this in regular conversation like it's the most casual thing to him? Case and point, talking to Wren and immediately getting huffy at the lightest bit of push-back 😭😭😭

He may be SOMEWHAT aware, but he is also just extremely emotionally and socially dense. He does only realize everything after the fact, prompting him to go sulk and agonize for days on end before awkwardly apologizing the next time they'll meet.

32. How does your OC handle rejection?

Menno kind of just.. bottles up whatever he feels after the fact, swallowing it down before springing head-first into work. He tends to work through the motions by tiring himself out until he can't move, he makes extra coin however - and he keeps himself out of trouble. It's only really bad if it happens time and time again, then he starts to engage in his actual Illidari work, seeking out pray to kill before unleashing it in an emotion-driven rampage.

44. Do others consider your OC to be scary or intimidating?

Oh my, they absolutely could depending on the person. I would imagine at the very least people try to not to get on Jaethrin's bad side. She has a scary temper (in Darnassian fashion, yknow?) and generally has little to no care at all in the eyes of combat. Also, she has scary plant tricks and generally looks unsettling upon first glance. BUT, I still think family regards them as just their sibling/child, they possibly know how to get on with Jaethrin enough that they actually see her pleasant side.

Jaethrin's just a wounded cat however, if you approach her with kindness she will generally be nice back. They're just wary, is all.

Thank you for the questions!! here is that side of fries you ordered 🍟

26 and 29... Lorrenar... pls...

giggles and twirls my hair. i love chewing on my senior citizen (thank you so much for the ask!!)

That is something he himself can't even answer, at least not for himself? For others it's simple, to be the best one can be and have something to wake up for gladly in the morning - in what form that may come. Lorrenar has spent a lot of his life drifting and switching back and forth between being a priest, member of the choir and martial occupations.

When Lorrenar became a blood knight, he was among the first to take the pledge - it horrifies him and he still very much regrets the actions he did then. Given how ruthless he was at the time, and how he now views his actions in bolstering himself in stolen radiance - his tether to the Light is fragile. Now he deems himself unworthy of the role of a priest, and he acts as though he believes deep down his true purpose is to repent for his tenure as one of the Sunfury.

His own actions, even if done under the influence of malignent outside influences. Allies have ended up hurt by what he has done, never on purpose but from his actions none the less. In recent RP developments he lost his abilities to call upon the Light temporarily at the later stages of my wonderful DM's campaign ( shoutout to @yffres-chosen, one of the coolest people i know! :] ) There was a moment before the finale where Lorrenar approached Itzamnaair, having an honest talk about self-forgiveness and still finding purpose in life in the absence of the divine. Things that weren't necessarily foreign concepts to Lorre, but still unthinkable enough that he doubted it. Not the Troll's words, but rather if that was something possible for him to follow through on. When they ended the conversation, it was enough for him to calm his mind, at least just a little bit. A tentative willingness to believe he is worthy still, despite his past actions and despite being 'abandoned'.

Which made it all the more soulcrushing for him when I rolled low and he ended up attacking one of his allies in a blind rage :) On top of seeing Itza being mangled and mortally wounded before his eyes! That was the final thread of his conviction snapping, and since then he's been in a religious crisis. But to let things end on a more positive note, he's been dabbling in music lately.... ---

AHH thank you sm for the ask once more, this was super fun to write and think on <3
