Character NAME: Kirian Dawningsun
Character PULL-POINT: Before the purge of Dalaran, after the defeat of Deathwing
Character AGE: Roughly equivalent to a human in the late thirties, early fourties.
Character ABILITIES: Kirian is a mage! He specializes in arcane and fire magic (the latter very reluctantly).
However, his powers are less geared toward offensive attacks and more toward defensive magic. Due to his past as a Spellbreaker, Kirian is best at creating shields around himself or others, dispelling magic or stealing a helpful spell from an enemy, or nullifying the effects of a spell. He can take control of an enemy spellcaster, though he would be reluctant to do so, and I would play it only as manipulating their magic and not like mind control. He can also interrupt spellcasts. These are where his strengths lie, for certain.
However, he can use magic to harm, as well. He can create arcane explosions around an enemy, or form bolts of arcane energy to harm someone. He can also control fire magic to throw fireballs at people and cause them to burn, but he rarely sets things on fire unless he's very, very upset. He can control existing fire, and shape it to his needs.
Kirian can also pull at the energy of a magic user, draining their power and using it to bolster his own. He can also release his own magic, if need be, to keep it from building up too much.
He can also create visually identical, but fragile, copies of himself to cast spells...though he generally uses them to complete mundane tasks for him. Kirian can conjure food and drink- nothing very filling, just simple cakes and drinks like tea and such. He is able to polymorph humans and animals into black cats, too. He is skilled with time manipulation, though I understand these abilities will not work in Exsilium. He is able to create portals for others to use to teleport over vast distances, and can teleport himself, as well.
Kirian, though not an adevnturer, I regard as a max-level mage, as far as abilities are concerned. Instead of questing and adventuring into dungeons, Kirian has earned his levels through careful study and practice of the arcane.
Character WORLD: Kirian is from Azeroth, from the Warcraft universe. His world is divided into four continents- Kalimdor to the west, the Eastern Kingdoms to the east, Northrend to the north, and Pandaria to the south. On the southern part of the Eastern Kingdoms in a portal that connects the fragments of the world Draenor to Azeroth.
Specifically, Kirian is from the elven kingdom of Quel'thalas. Most notable to his history are the forests of his homeland, the human kingdom of Lordaeron to the south, and the city of Dalaran in Northrend. However, he does make it out to the other Horde cities, though he doesn't much care to.
Character HISTORY: Kirian was born in Quel'thalas, to a small and relatively lower-class family (his father was named Dellan and was a tailor by trade, his mother, Allide, was a mage). As a child, his closest friend was a girl named Veilyaa Flameheart- it was assumed by their parents, but never formally agreed on, that they would eventually marry. Kirian lived in the forests for many years, and dreamed of being a city guard.
Kirian became a Spellbreaker (Spellbreakers being an elite half-mage half-warrior class) sometime before the Second War. When the Horde attacked their human allies, the High Elves hesitated but finally lended their strength to the Alliance after the Horde invaded their lands. During the war, Kirian served as a messenger. He spent a short time among the humans, and befriended some of them. Namely, the woman Nel Harrington became a close friend, and Kirian enjoyed her company (she had a black cat named Soot. Though this cat is long dead, Kirian has named his current cat after hers). The other human Kirian was relatively close to was Simon Hargraves, an Alliance footsoldier. Kirian was quite in love with him, though he never acted on these feelings and it was entirely one-sided.
With a heavy heart, Kirian returned to Quel'thalas following the war and began to push his friends away- especially Veilyaa, who he was now no longer content to marry. He was still mostly kind, if not a bit distant, but that would soon change. Kirian was guarding Silvermoon City when Arthas and the Death Knights attacked.
Kirian fought valiantly to defend his homeland, but was attacked by a ghoul and his right leg was seriously wounded. Unfortunately, as there was severe muscle damage and infection set in, the healers were unable to save it. Kirian lost his leg, and though he was able to have a prosthesis crafted, he was left with a rather pronounced limp.
Knowing he would never be able to wear heavy armor or the massive shield he wielded as a Spellbreaker, Kirian turned to studying the arcane arts and found he had a knack for it. It was something to do, something to study, and Kirian spent the next years slowly amassing more knowledge and practicing his magic. Kirian grew quite bitter about life and those close to him, having lost both his parents and the dream he had worked so hard for.
During this time, Prince Kael'thas' advisor, Grand Magister Rommath, returned to share with the elves the techniques of draining magic from demons to sate their addiction to magic. Though many disagreed with these methods (Kirian's cousin Ryel included), Kirian saw them as a means to an end.
Reformed as a Blood Elf, Kirian trusted Prince Kael'thas almost blindly. It was Kael'thas' fall that pushed Kirian to leave Quel'thalas and settle in the floating city of Dalaran. He made a living here renting a very small home (like an effiency apartment) and running a tailoring business out of it. Kirian worked with the Kirin Tor and Sunreavers (though more closely with the Sunreavers) as a researcher, developing new magic techniques.
During his stay in Dalaran, he started a friendship with a Blood Knight, Raziel Sunsworn. Raziel proved to be very good for Kirian- he was a friend who demanded little of him and was very rarely upset by Kirian's overall crankiness. Kirian occasionally returned to Silvermoon City to do small odd jobs for the Magisters there- as he was not officially a Magister, but in their pocket, he was often sent to complete tasks they could not, officially.
It was during one such task- a Magister named Norrin Lightflare had gone power hungry and rather mad- that Kirian encountered the Paladin, Alerion Lightward. and his wife, Radra. Radra pushed Kirian to discover what hold the Magister had over her husband, and when confronted, Magister Lightflare attempted to kill Kirian. Knowing he could not defeat him with magic, Kirian protected himself with defensive spells and fatally stabbed Lightflare with the spellblade he kept concealed in his cane. Unfortunately for Kirian, Alerion considered himself in Kirian's debt.
Kirian returned to Dalaran and to his work for the Sunreavers. He visited the Caverns of Time to obtain some sand for his work with Time Magic. Raziel purchased a new home, and Kirian begun to (VERY SLOWLY AND RELUCTANTLY) spend more time with him. I am pulling him from this time in his history, shortly after Raziel's return from fighting at Wyrmrest Temple to the south of Dalaran.
Character PERSONALITY: Kirian is a self-professed "boring man", but is definitely an example that still waters run deep. Outwardly he is calm, often polite, and generally cold in his dealings with other people. He has been described as "aloof" by other people, and that definitely suits him. He is certainly not one to hesitate in telling someone if he feels they are being foolish. Actually, the more he knows someone, the more blunt and brusque he generally is. Very few consider Kirian to be "friends", and to those he can be most hurtful of all.
Underneath the prickly exterior is a deep sadness and anger toward those who have wronged him (and the Sin'dorei, as a whole). However, Kirian does not dwell on, or even examine his emotions- he pushes them aside and attempts to deny them.
The truth of Kirian, and the reason his childhood friend and sister hold on and don't simply leave him be, is that he was much different, when he was younger. Kirian was naive until he left Quel'thalas for the first time, and was a generally hopeful and kind person. War changed him. Losing the life he knew changed him.
For many years, Kirian wished to stay beyond the Horde and Alliance conflict- the opinion he has that he will never voice is that he wishes to withdraw away from the Horde and Alliance and return to the time of the Sunstrider reigns when the elves were largely cut off from the outside world.
Regarding other elves, Kirian finds himself most at home among them compared to the other races. However, the reason he has lived in Dalaran for so long is that he detests the political environment of Silvermoon City, and the superficiality of life there. Also, the Magisters have been trying to bring him further into their ranks for several years now, and he wishes to avoid them. He sees the Magisters are largely conniving and knows that joining their ranks will tie him down further to Silvermoon City. In truth, he seems himself in them a bit too much. He can be as cold and calculating as any Magister.
Though he fought and nearly died for Quel'thalas, he doesn't spend as much time there as one might think. Kirian has lived away from his family's small home for years. Quel'thalas reminds him too much of the past, and the mistakes he's made and the fool he's been. Kirian was among the many who trusted Kael'thas almost blindly, and he can rarely visit the city without being reminded of that. He also wishes to have freedom, as much as he can, and the expectations of him when he's in Silvermoon- down to shedding his simple clothes for more ornate robes- feel suffocating to him.
Though his is physically disabled (he is unable to run and uses a cane to walk), Kirian does not feel any shame for being "broken" or anything like that. He was injured fighting to save his homeland- to him, there is no way to be injured that is more noble or worthwhile.
Kirian is, largely, a dour man whose first instinct is to frown at something until it goes away. He does have his moments of kindness, however. He has been known to drag people home from bars before and let them sleep it off safely in his bed and then kick them out the next morning. His off-putting personality is something he is completely aware of- he never wonders why people might wish to not be in his company. Quite the contrary, he is usually ill-tempered to push people away on purpose. Were he a controlling man, he would be more of an antagonist to people, but he generally does not care what other people do with their lives, so long as they leave him be. That doesn't stop him from telling them what he thinks, just to be contrary, or for poking fun at them for making a fool of themselves.
He enjoys his cat, Soot (named in Common), being alone, quiet people, tea, bloodthistle, fish, dragons, studying, working, good booze, afternoon naps, his sister and friends (try as he might to dislike them). He greatly dislikes children, cheerful people, people who expect personal things of him, politicians, Magisters, people getting touchy-feely with him (though he has no problem with physical contact- when it's meant to be emotional, he detests it), strong shows of emotion, and phoenixes.
» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Kirian will need to have a cane provided for him- he uses it to walk. Ideally, this would be a copy of his cane from home, complete with a short blade concealed in it. His preferred cane in Azeroth is a deep purple wood with a gold tip and handle.
The blade can be removed, and is enchanted to increase his magic abilities. Of course, it is sharp and can be used as a close-quarters weapon, and he has used it to kill before.
Development for his blade would possibly be moving towards allowing his spells to inflict extra arcane/fire damage and boosting his shield spells to include a larger area or more people. Nothing too major, it would just be nice for him to be able to safeguard a small party of folks on a mission.
Character INVENTORY: Cane, a case with bloodthistle cigarettes in it, a change of clothes (his fancy Silvermoon robes), thread and needles, HOPEFULLY HIS CAT? And of course his prosthetic leg (this is more like an arcane limb construct and allows him to walk. It is enchanted, and has an arcane core in it to help power it and make movement a bit easier on him).
