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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ??? 🐦

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.... ---
