Oh where to begin with this one. You were harassed when you were younger, this is bad. However you in turn going out of your way to harass others does not make it a right. We here at CoAD have largely figured out the issue here with the cesspit. You were spooked when you were children, we sympathize with this but going on witch hunts against people who are not deliberately targeting young people does nothing to help your cause.

We speak out against harassment of players, where is that harassment coming from mostly? The group of players yours truly associates with. Please submit to us evidence of other peoples wrongdoing if you believe we are being “““hypocrites”““.

Dishonor to you also Telarion for attempting to doxx an upstanding member of the community, I know you are attempting to get into the graces of the inner circle but such a fall from grace is unbecoming of you.

Five facts about Telarion!

He has the Azerothian equivalent of a Persian cat named Sasha.

He is permanently burned from a rescue mission undertaken in the Barrens during the events of the Cataclysm, where he was because he was trying to do some training with the local orcs at the time.

He considers himself the responsible one in the family even though Traejan is the oldest one, mostly because his father was looking to groom him to be the heir and pass over his brother entirely. Unlike his father, however, he doesn’t actually look down on Traejan in seriousness.

He is kind of terrified of spiders.

His hair is more than long enough to sit on, he just always wears it in a high ponytail and it’s still very long. He’s quite proud of it.

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?

Telarion sees himself as fairly average, but looks have never really been a big thing for him in the first place. He doesn't feel like he has anything to flaunt, and if anyone finds him good-looking that's.. nice?

Telarion! 10, 7, 33, 46

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

Yes. Ooooh, yes. Telarion was raised just the same as his siblings but simply has a far more "delicate" personality that through time and duress has resulted in the development of several neurotic behaviours. To be faced with women, particularly those who are more forward than others, renders him almost completely speechless. This he definitely recognizes, as it sure does make it difficult to get a date! He does have other anxieties and concerns about things, fretting about something or other at any given time, but doesn't see any reason why those should be strange at all.

He also does not think it is neurotic to feel much more comfortable talking to his cat, Sasha, than anyone else. Sasha is a very good listener and she never judges.

7. Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time.

The idea of wasting time makes him uncomfortable. There's not enough hours in the day! How can you afford to be doing anything that isn't productive?! If it's not paperwork, it's physical training, and if it's not training he should be studying to keep his mind sharp for healing. And if it's none of those he should be working in the field somewhere. It is very, very difficult to pull him away from his work. He manages not to burn himself out by having it all down to an elaborate routine.

He is critical of those who are known to waste time. He has been on Tarin's back especially about it. This has made him a very annoying coworker to have, also.

33. Concept of home and family?

This is a sticky subject for him. He and his siblings get along well enough, but his family will never be the same no matter how much they try to catch up or attempt to bridge gaps over dinner. Home and family used to be two things he knew he could count on for trust and safety, but that all changed with the razing of the city. Tarin drifted away from him first, getting caught up with the Fel and eventually the warlocks. That was a path he could not chase her down, as he soon enlisted with the Blood Knights. That Traejan came back a Death Knight really sealed the deal for him and he's been leery ever since. How much had everything changed them? Can you trust a warlock? Beyond that, how can you possibly trust a Death Knight? What lines might they both be willing to cross now that they're into such dark things? If they ever became a threat, what would he do? These are the kinds of thoughts that plague him whenever he thinks about his family and though he is always willing to assist if they call on him he doesn't really reach out to them unless he absolutely has to. And that makes him feel guilty as well. It's quite a mess.

46. If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?

He doesn't particularly have a "type", at least in looks. He thinks plenty of women are attractive. He appreciates a strong person, but not in such a way that they take advantage of the fact that he has a tendency to bit withdrawn. In fact, if they seem to exude it but are willing to share a gentler side in private that would be particularly ideal; someone he could grow and bond with to replace the feelings of trust and security he sorely misses. He wouldn't admit it, but he needs someone rather unpredictable to shake up his routine and act as a wake up call to remind him that there is more to life than just work and training.

There is also the consideration that he may potentially have leanings toward more than just women. It is nothing he has ever explored, but when considering an ideal relationship he has never envisioned an ideal girl, but a ideal person. There's no telling in what form that person might appear.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

So last time I covered how Telarion had quite a significant burn scar that took up quite a large part of his body. That was a prominent physical feature because it is very noticeable, so this part of the meme was better suited to something else.

On the side of his neck that isn't burned he has a scar that is the remnants of where he was once grazed by a bullet. A hunter obviously came dangerously close to successfully killing him, or at least severely wounding him, and it's fair to say that at this point his neck is a bit of a mess. It is more neatly healed than the rest of his scars as he'd done it himself, but given the location and the urgency required at the time it's still not perfect.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

Once again this one is fun to do because it relates directly to RP presently and clears up some of those things you might not have realized either from how it was worded in their flag or simply because it's been awhile.

Height: Being a Lightrend, Telarion is quite tall as well. However, he is not as tall as Traejan, at only 6'4". He is also less muscular overall and tends to look a bit more scrawny without his armour.

Eyes: I'm sure this seems an odd thing to mention for a Sin'dorei, but as elven eye colour goes he just barely qualifies as green enough to not have his allegiance called into question. They are mostly blue, particularly if you were compare him to the average Blood Elf, but have just enough of a Fel presence to mark him safely as Sin'dorei. As such, people have a tendency to want to double check or really get a closer look.

Scar: Because he has more than one I decided to cover this one here and another one for the question directly related to the scar because this feature is actually very prominent. It's actually less of an individual scar than a disfigurement. The skin along the right side of his body was at some point badly burned and never quite healed right. Even when fully dressed it is visible along his neck and along the right side of his jaw and ear. It also continues down along his torso and pretty much the entirety of his right arm. If he is in a situation where his hands would ordinarily be showing he wears a leather glove to keep things fairly hidden.

Telarion: 30 Days of Character Development: 01

1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?

Telarion's relationship with Imrinde was not particularly noteworthy. It was not by any means bad, but he simply was not as close with his mother as Traejan was. Of course, he deeply cared for her and she for him but they lacked the same connection. They were not quite as similar, which made it difficult for him to relate with her on several things. Telarion was more withdrawn where his mother could be more bold and easily take the spotlight, though from her he did learn the valuable lesson of having no fear when it involved something you strongly believed in, and standing up for that belief.

He bonded much more closely with Eridanus, his father. He took far more interest in his work as a priest, studying alongside his father in everything one needed to know to be an effective healer. He learned all about Light and how to manipulate it, borrowing heavily from the human tradition. Still, they were Quel'dorei nonetheless, and he was reminded that as much belief as there was in its power, he ultimately controlled it because it was simply magic and decided when it would and would not appear; it was not something that could choose whom to serve. This idea would be especially important onward into the future. He received the favour that Traejan did not, as once Traejan had been effectively written off by Eridanus the high expectations he held had been placed firmly upon Telarion. This made him feel bad, as he could not understand the need for the animosity between his beloved father and brother, and knew that when the time came for things to pass on to the heir he would fight to see that things rightfully placed to his elder brother.

Of course, this time never came as the Scourge did instead. Where Traejan (and also Imrinde and Eridanus, though none of them had known at the time) had gone out to fight he was sent with Tarin with instructions to flee to the Isle despite his protests. This saved their lives, and fortunately the question of inheritance never came to be.
