My Oc Vaela

some quick swtor ocs i’ve been poking at levelling

Her name is Vaela Moonbreeze, my night elf demon hunter OC I created not long after Legion started. Initially she was a restoration druid trainee, but she was blinded during the Third War by a ghoul when she didn’t let one of her comdrades, who slipped and fell, to be killed, but it cost her the use of her eyes. The scars you see are the ones left by that ghoul before it was destroyed. She had a really hard time becoming a demon hunter since she was already blind. Her training was overseen and coordinated by an illidari shivarra named Asok’yina, who was also deemed disabled among het bethren. The reason for that was is Asok’yina didn’t become an illidari willingly, she chose to submit rather than die, but before that she fought fiercely. She lost one of her arms completely, and the illidari sigil was branded across her left eye, blinding that side permanently. It was because of Vaela’s disability that the shivarra eventually grew closer to her and even became fond of her, devoiting herself completely to Vaela’s training and vowing she’ll do everything so Vaela can reach her goal. When the day of the final ritual came, Vaela was anxious initially, but the moment she stepped into the bound circle, she calmed down and assumed a combat-ready stance, using two shivarra-swords as her preferred weapons, awaiting her opponent to strike. (Part of my headcanon is the applicants face the type of demon they either hate the most, fear the most or respect the most. That, and the actual level of readiness the candidate showed in the last few days prior the ritual, so that for instance a weaker one will only face a felhunter while another a felguard.) Vaela initially was fearful of the shivarra, but by now she came to respect them, and with her fighting against one since she started her training, she subconsciously hoped that her final opponent would be one as well. Bullseye, her opponent was a shivarra indeed. The combat was relentless, with Vaela bleeding from multiple wounds, but with a swift parry and counter she severed one of its arms and impaled it through the middle of her chest. “Well done, Vaela...” To the demon hunter’s shock, her opponent was actually Asok’yina. Later other fresh demon hunters thought that was foul play and that the shivarra went easy on her, but in truth that was the first time Asok’yina’s every attack was aimed to be a killing blow, and the seasoned veterans saw it clearly, Vaela won fair and square despite her blindness. Vaela was actually crying, for she considered the shivarra as a friend, but sicne she way dying anyway, the demon hunter ate her heart in the end, completing the ritual and was welcomed as an official illidari demon hunter. After she recovered from the aftereffects of the deed, Vaela finally gained a lesser, weak version of spectral sight, but at least she wasn’t truly blind anymore, but she didn’t trust this new sense yet. In metamorphosis, Vaela grows bigger and gains a pair of extra arms, a glowing illidari mark appears over her closed left eye and she actually has a working right eye, basically resembling her inner demon Asok’yina, who only had four arms when she died.
