#orliando

Outgoing, charming, funny people are the ones that Alastren is more immediately drawn to and that he tends to enjoy being around most. However, he’s also fond of a quieter confidence, one that’s less posturing and more of a solid self-assuredness. The sense of security that comes from being around people who are very capable and know it (regardless of whether or not they decide to advertise it) is something he very much enjoys in both friends and partners. He loves a combination of fun, spontaneity, and dependability. 

ABCs of Behail - Accepting @orliando

U: Underdog

1. have they been bullied?

Yes. In his youth Behail’s Family was extremely protective and closed off from the others around their stead, and Behail himself was a frail, sickly child, thus it only lead him to be kept under watchful eye near 24/7. At the rare times he would manage to leave home and wander, many of the local youths did as children and teens did, and would knock him down a few pegs because he was easy prey, and his family was seen as odd outliers to the community. Being elves between mostly Human, they weren’t welcomed with the warmest of hearts. It was often Behail would wander home bruised and bloodied, and gain a harsh scolding to his want to sneak out. 

2. have they bullied anyone?

No; Behail is far too reserved and conscious of actions to ever dish out what he was once served. There have been times where he has gotten bitter, but he hasn’t gone as far to claim injury or spit insults at any for no reason. 

3. have they been physically attacked by a bully?

More than once; even now, as an adult, he’s had others attempt to strike him for being that of an Illidari, and given his less than natural look, he gains the sights of less than pleasant people. 

4. have they ever been doubted?

Oh yes. Even his fellow Illidari voice their doubts, given Behail is–…well, Behail, a nervous wreck with little socializing skills. He’s heard more than one speak their doubts of his survival to the binding, wondering how the Hell he’d managed to last this long. 

5. have they surprised people with being good at something?

Likely, yes. His ability to sing and play the harp was one surprise–something from his past that he enjoyed, but became too withdrawn to express until meeting Perch and experiencing his confidence. Fighting, even–he is rather slim and lithe compared to most other Illidari, but it aids in his quick hand on the fields and his ability to slice through demons in a blink of an eye. Not that he has to utilize it much now, though.
