#varad

No specific characters, so let's run the gamut!

Allerion: No. His soul belongs to the Light and only the Light is fit to keep it. He's so fucking obnoxious.

Cyri: Falls in (and out of) love with every third person she meets... Maybe every other. So soulmates? Hah.

Kelanthael: Without a doubt. He'd spent thousands upon thousands of years with his husband and when he died, the rest of Kel's life was spend anticipating seeing him again.

Khali: Yes, but actually no, but a little yes. She's in an open relationship with her goblin gal, but she's so head over heels for that gob and that gob alone that there may as well not be other people on Azeroth the moment she spots her. So, kinda sorta has her soulmate, but is willing to share?

Lliane: She'd never considered having one and doesn't really get it. But if you explain it to her, she'd say "Oh, so Teeree?" and that'd be that.

Varad: No. Next question.

Verac: No, but fate seems certain on reuniting him with a specific person.

(Thanks for the ask, Philly bb @glitchphil )

“Feh! They are looking for real show. Not paper and trick.” The Arakkoa had a way of making himself known suddenly, a better one at stealing the show. He would pour out of his wagon, a cacophony of noise the moment the door opened and the impossibly sized figure for its space shared its visage with the world. 

The bird and the gunslinger often butted heads. They seemed like two… opposites, and Gregory always advised Rem to be wary of Varad. Nevertheless, she always did like to be on everyone’s good side–or try to be, at least. It was the best way to foster trust.

Her spurs clinked as she strode up to Varad’s wagon, shoebox clutched against her side with a neat bow.

‘VARAD,

EVEN IF WE’RE OFTEN AT ODDS, I STILL VALUE YOU AS PART OF MY CARAVAN. HERE’S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT LIKE.

-REMY’

She smacked her knuckles against the weathered door and left the box at its base. And should one open it they’d find…

A pair of tiny socks seemingly intended for Little Varad.

Power -

Kelanthael’s never been offered any position of power, largely because he’s refused any offer before it can be given to him.

Cyri, never.

Khali desires a position of some power. She wants to prove her worth as a servant of Gonk and, in turn, be recognized as an authority on raptor care-taking and rearing. It’s been her dream since she was very young and it’s what drives her to continue honing her craft even after having to leave her home.

Allerion (my death knight) took his place as a Field Commander of the knights stationed at Acherus with a sense of entitlement. Widely hated by many of his peers, his service record is outstanding and he is practically in a class of his own amongst many of his fellows. The position was granted to him following the collapse of his regiment, in which the leader and several of her officers abandoned the Ebon Blade. He, being the only loyalist officer, reacted to this chance for power by betraying every deserter and beginning a campaign to hunt down each one of them and those involved with damaging the Ebon Blade’s structure. There’s a reason literally no one likes him.

Varad had a chance at power amongst the outcasts before he, for reasons unanswered, abandoned his people. It’s very likely the reason he left has something to do with what he might have used that brief chance of power to gain.

Verac’thar was a loyalist to Kael’thas until the very end and for the briefest of moments had a level of power during the Illidan/Kael’thas led Northrend campaign before things, as they so often do, fell apart. He was proud to serve while he did and would gladly have followed his prince until the very end if he could.

Holidays -

Kelanthael loves to flex his legendary tolerance during Brewfest

Cyri only ever really celebrated the Harvest Festival, but if she got to attend the lunar festival she’d probably fall in love with it

Khali’s been to one Darkmoon Faire, but completely believes that it is 1. A holiday outside of Zandalar and 2. The greatest thing ever

Allerion doesn’t celebrate hoildays

Varad mocks people that celebrate holidays (but pretends to be in an Arakkoa costume for candy during Hallow’s End)

Verac’thar’s favourite isn’t the Day of the Dead, but it’s the only one he places reverence and importance into. Saying it’s his favourite would send the wrong kind of message after all

ON THE MOVE: LOCH MODAN - PART I

Vol. 1 beginnings

Allerion: He did not want to serve the light as a Paladin. He didn't want to serve the light at all. He wanted to work in the family butchery and one day take over with whomever he would start a family with. But he was the second oldest son and after opportunity presented itself he was sent to serve the Silver Hand through a connection his father had with one of its members. Given Allerion's ultimate fate, he became a butcher. First at Stratholme, then again in death among the Ebon Blade. So, sometimes dreams do come true.

Cyri: Her first dream was to marry her twin Cyril cause she loved him more than anyone else in the whole wide world. Cyril told her she was an idiot. By the time she was six she realised that's not how marriage works, but the idea was there. She wanted to find love and, since her town had a whopping sub-hundred population, the fire was lit for her to travel. Eventually that dream evolved to wanting to see the world and get as far away from the farm as possible. Now after a third of a century later, she just wants to come home and see it like it was when she was young.

Kelanthael: When they were young, Azeroth was a much simpler place. They wanted to soar the skies, to pierce the veil of the dream, to see Azeroth in all her glory both waking and asleep. They wanted to grow old and spread the wisdom of their lives to younger and younger generations. Now, in his old age, he's done so much more than his younger self could have ever dreamed and with all of his youtful ambitions filled... well, now he's just waiting to see what his last days entail.

Khali: When she was young, she was terrified of raptors. Her dream was to never see another one again. No Gonk, no scales, no claws. She didn't even like Gonk! Khali knew what she wanted and that was to run away. Go where no one would find her. The dunes of Vol'dun or maybe even one of the other continents. No one, and she meant no one, would ever ever get her to like raptors. And then she got an egg on her eight birthday. Twenty years later, her pack's over two dozen strong and that egg hatched into Kerhana, her riding raptor and her pack's matriarch (behind herself, of course).

Varad: Varad was born with his future decided for him. Varad would worship Rukhmar and serve as a priest for Varad's people. Varad was filled with contempt for everything his people cherished and wanted nothing more than to see it burn. After being thrown from the spires, that dream was emboldened and thrived. Imagine Varad's joy when that dream came to fruition and Varad learned there were infinitely other universes where history would repeat itself.

Verac'thar: A child of noble origin, to a line of prominent members of the magisters, they dreamed of nothing more than to serve the light. Being the youngest of seven, there weren't many expectations of tradition resting on their shoulders. They were enchanted by the tradition and history and had their heart stolen by more than a few members. They loved to serve and threw themselves into it fully and it was their life for nearly two hundred years.
