#halayn

Giveaway piece by anaristhefox on Twitter of my warden Halayn. We decided to combine two tarot cards (Ten of Wands and The Chariot) as inspiration for the design.

Gender and Sexuality: Male / Bisexual

Pronouns: He / Him

Ethnicity/species: Sin’dorei

Face Claim: None

Birthdate: July 25

Guilty pleasures: Hal is not guilty about any pleasures, except maybe when he seduces straight older comrades. oops 

What they would be famous for: That hair. Have you seen it?

What they have/would get arrested for:  Hal has no record. I mean if your family was rich and your offenses minor you wouldn’t either. He is most likely to be arrested for holy shocking the shit out of someone being rude to nice people.

OC you ship them with:  Vaudious (@vaudious) among some others

OC most likely to murder them:  Eliehn Anor’rhyn at his brother Alderien’s (@anorrhyn) orders. It hasn’t happened yet, but that would be the scenario. 

Favorite book genre: Romance of course.

Least favorite book cliche: Dead parents. Too close.

Talents and/or powers: Healing, defensive combat, impeccable style, can actually be your knight in shining armor.

Why someone might love them: His loyalty, how easily he reciprocates love and affection, his unfaltering will to live and to live well, his desire to protect and to serve, and that the heart he wears on his sleeve is genuinely good.

Why someone might hate them: He’s selfish in many ways, he’s privileged, spoiled, he can be extremely lazy, he’s flippant, he’s irreverent, he’s hard to keep entertained, he’s easy to envy, he can have a short temper, he’s ten kinds of high maintenance, if he doesn’t like you he makes it very clear.

How they change: In times of peace and in safe places, Hal is the picture of a privileged lord, living like he doesn’t have a care in the world. In times of war and on the battlefield he’s focused, and every bit the weapon that a Blood Knight should be. Hal has the tact to know when and where to be serious, and he doesn’t play around with anybody’s life. 

Why you love them: He’s fun to play, he’s a good character, and he’s the kind of knight I’ve always wanted to read about in a story. 

Two head canons you have for your character that you’ve never told anyone: 

1. I once considered writing Hal more like Percival or Galahad, and to have him be celibate. If in an AU where King Anasterian and Prince Kael’thas lived, and if Hal became a royal guard like he always wanted, he would love only them and no one else.

2. Hal has a special attraction to pedagogues. It doesn’t matter what the subject or trade is, he’s happy to be their pupil.

Two things your character regrets: 1. Wasting away in Draenor only to sit back with the rest of the Vanguard and watch Grom walk free??? The fuck was that shit...

2. Not putting a sword through any of the Quel’dorei that turned on the Sin’dorei in the Purge of Dalaran. If he ever sees any of them, and knows they took part, he will kill them.

Two phobias/fears your character has: 1. Being unable to save those he loves. 2. Spiders, especially the big ones.

HABITS

Zeferon was sitting atop of a tree-branch overlooking the vast lands of the plaquelands, he finally had found some rest without people constandly bothering him

First it was why he had a metal arm, then it was how he ‘dared to show himself in silvermoon’ and he got sick of it! So he went back to the plaquelands

He leaned back and sighed, no intention of getting away from the tree any time soon he overlooked the entire land from atop the mountain

He saw someone running away, being chased by a pack of undead! At first he didn’t really give a fuck i mean why would he?! But after a while he dicided to help anyway

He jumped off of the tree and then off of the mountain with such a big leap it almost collapsed “Oops” he muttered before making impact atop of the scourge that were following the elfs
