I heard “one for each”, and I will oblige!

Argonas never trusted Orcs. Not even at the beginning. He only speaks orcish for this reason - he’s a paranoid individual! He started studying it on Draenor, fearful that the Orcs would turn on his people during swap meets and such he’d attend. He though he’d never EVER admit it aloud, he secretly feels somewhat... vindicated... that he was right all along!

Avehi can sleep, but since she doesn’t need to, she chooses not to. Not only is she plagued with nightmares if she tries, but she’s so used to not knowing - or caring - what time of day it is thanks to her spending most of her life on Draenor in Shadowmoon Valley. She loves the night sky anyway, so not needing to sleep is an absolute win for her!

Bey’ron does have a soft side, contrary to popular belief! But it’s really hard to prove it! Case in point, he anonymously sponsors both a homeless shelter and an orphanage in Eversong. Both were set up separately following the destruction of the Sunwell, and provide food, beds, and safety for anyone who needs it. No tangible connection exists between him and these two establishments, of course. But he feels it’s imperative for elves in need to have some manner of jumping-off-point to get back up when life knocks them down.

Brent window-shops for blades very often. He loves examining unique and artistic bladecraft, and can sometimes - rarely - be seen at bazaars or swap meets examining various knives and swords. That being said, he’s never bought one. Where he got the blades he uses now is a mystery for another prompt... :P

Dahlyah was eaten by a dragon once! Well, not really, but she likes to tell people that! The truth is she was on a hunt once for black drakes back during the Blackrock conflict, and one swooped down and chomped down on her! Her dark iron chainmail kept the dragon’s razor-sharp teeth from cutting through all the way, but she still has the bite marks on her abdomen and torso from the incident! She managed to fire off a few shrapnel rounds down its neck to shred its innards and escape certain death. And the ensemble she wears now is made with scales from that very drake!

Gattius is a sucker for Eversong Scout cookies! He can’t pass up an opportunity to buy a box or two every time they’re out selling them! He has such a hard time saying no to those sweet, smiling faces! It’s only gotten worse since becoming a father, too! Right now, he has one entire supply closet in his office full of unopened boxes of cookies he’s bought over the past few months! It’s labeled “Needles and Syringes” to keep Syrielle from looking inside and finding them! Don’t tell her!

Grakkar pees sitting/squatting down. Don’t judge.

Tyrellius found the hardest thing about becoming a Demon Hunter to be the horns! He’s adapted well enough to “seeing” differently. And he’s even comfortable with his body changing and shifting during various metamorphoses. But those pesky horns... he’ll forget he has them more often than not when reaching up to scratch his head or adjust his mask. They seem to surprise him every time he brushes a hand against them... or brushes THEM against something else! Still, he can’t bring himself to file them down or try and reshape them. When he remembers they’re there, he definitely likes them!

VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗 "Tayoh? He’s a cute little vulpera, I suppose. A nice coat of fur, a friendly, if not a little timid, demeanor. I think he looks nice.”

FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗 "Well, we’ve only met once, but he was kind enough to share some stew with me. We exchanged some stories, and I got to know him and his plight a little. Brave little guy, venturing out into the world.”

SEXUAL DESIRE: 💔 "--Oh, uh... no thanks.”

💯 What is my muse’s ideal date?

Tyrellius’ ideal date is something very low key. A nice quiet and secluded dinner where he and his date can talk and get to know one another. After that, a nice walk through the city, or out in the woods. Wandering through a festival or faire works well too, to keep it light and friendly. After that, dessert somewhere! And if the date went well enough, staying over at one or the others’ residence. Her’s not one for big, fancy, expensive dates.

Tyrellius learned a long time ago that when it comes to stew, there are no rules! Back in his caravan days, he’d cook up all kinds of different combinations. He struck gold once with the “best stew ever” back during a trip back home from Lordaeron, but hasn’t been able to recreate it since! This resourcefulness paid off well when he became an Illidari! Demon meat’s gross by itself, but on some planets it’s the only thing to eat! He’s managed to whip up some passable gruel for himself and fellow Demon Hunters to sustain themselves when rations got low!

Wanna know some useless facts about my characters?  Too bad, you’re getting it anyways.

So back when Tyrellius was little more than a “Dead is Dead” character, I tried thinking of a reason as to why he was a barbaric-looking mage for reasons other than “Hedge Mage.”

Then I took note that his fighting style relies of brute force--whether it’s smashing things with his fists, blowing them up with fire or suffocating them in poisonous gas.  Fire tends to be dangerous.

So then I thought, what if he runs around half naked but completely shaven because it’s much safer that way?  It sorta makes sense, given how trigger-happy he is with his spells.

When he was still little more than a firestarter in Cyrodiil, he wore long flowing robes and had a messy head of hair and beard...up until the accident.

As an alchemist he tried finding ways around this.  The hair would have to go, but he was able to infuse fabric with a Fire Resistant concoction.  Unfortunately that came with its own problems.  Firstly, it was hella expensive and time-consuming to make.  Secondly, it actually hindered his spellcasting more than flammable robes because of the fire-resisting infusion.  Also, it smelled like cheese.

In the end he just turned the cloth into a nice hood and wore as little as possible so that he could burn things unhindered.  Also, how else was he going to show off his badass tattoos?  The ones on his face let him see in the dark!

That aside, I kinda fudged them.  I need to go over the design of them and his Nibenean robes (he looks more like a shepherd or something than a mage up close, don’t he?).  Also, the full body drawings were going to take forever given my fussiness combined with my messy art style (bad, bad combination).

Ugh.

At this point I’m just rushing everything that isn’t the face.
