I’m assuming the Anon is referring to the “Character Development Questions: Hard Mode” ask meme here!______________________________________________________________10.) Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?Whilst no stranger to loose shirts and sleeveless clothes, Kaladay has a flair of modesty in his preferences. Turtlenecks, scarves and high collars are a part of his usual outfit, perhaps to hide the grisly scar that still laces his throat.14.) Does your character remember names or faces easier?Kaladay remembers faces easier than names. Not that he’s forgetful, but he prefers to refer to his comrades by title and status anyway.35.) How does your character behave around people they like?Definitely more willing to engage in conversation and show emotions. Kaladay’s statue-esque demeanour thaws, even if only slightly, and he may laugh or crack jokes more often. On the flip side, his protectiveness may only grow stronger. He’d linger closer, perhaps even in touching distance. 

Honour. Kaladay’s overprotectiveness often leads to him being seen as cold or distant. But so long as his charges remain safe, he doesn’t care how he is seen by them.

On a more social level, Kaladay finds people who do not care for others repulsive. Not acknowledging something you’ve done and not owning your mistakes is wrong, in Kaladay’s eyes.

Kaladay is initially quite awkward when interacting with children. His attempts to give them advice or help them out usually come across as preachy or strict. If Kaladay spends enough time with a child, however, he can grow extremely fond of them.

Kaladay has become effective at using the Light to Cleanse and mend wounds. His affinity for curing the sick contrasts his martial skills, but it’s a duality that has served him well. Kaladay’s borderline obsessive devotion to those he protects also manifests itself into Blessings of Sacrifice. His need to guard those he cares about outweighs any risk to himself. Kaladay is always ready for a Divine Intervention should a final, selfless act be necessary to keep his charges safe.On the other hand, Kaladay has struggled to ever manifest the Light into an actual offensive force. Creating pure bolts of Light energy like Judgement or Holy Shock is a skill he lacks. Ah, well. He prefers his hammer anyway.

Kaladay spent most of his teenage years learning the way of combat under Sir Raiment. Bar one brief period of pacifism, Kaladay has never retired from actively protecting or fighing. Therefore, Kaladay’s martial prowess is quite considerable. Because his paladin training came later in life, Kaladay does not consider himself as efficient with the Holy Light as he is with a shield in hand. However, he discovered that he had a knack for healing and cleansing wounds. With the constant threat of plague and disease in Lordaeron, Kaladay’s healing skills had to be learned, and quickly.

85) Did they lose anyone close to them in the ensuing destruction ((Of the Shattering))?Kaladay was lucky. The Plaguelands were mostly unaffected by the shattering. However, he had rediscovered his family in Theramore by this point. He was relieved to hear Theramore did not suffer either… to say the least.99.) What were their first impressions of the native orcs and/or draenei of alternative Draenor? The Arakkoa?Kaladay has never gone to alternate Draenor. He almost did, as he served with the Alliance military during the events of Landfall in Pandaria, but he dropped out of military service mere months before the Draenor expedition set out. He remained in the Plaguelands for most of the duration of Warlords of Draenor. As for his actual opinion, Kaladay still struggles to comprehend that a whole other reality exists in time. He’d rather leave such mind-boggling realisations to those who need to.

Kaladay was originally trained in the art of combat by Sir Raiment, a wealthy retired knight who had settled in Hillsbrad. The knight’s son was sickly, and needed a protector. Kaladay was chosen to be this bodyguard.Later in life, after Kaladay found himself amongst the Argent Dawn, the same person who had recruited him into it began to train him as a paladin. She was Anelia, a High Elf.
