Mordred 183 Posted July 13, 2017 Origin: Kaldorei (Undead) Title(s): Lord, Executor Archetype: Lightslayer Affiliations: The Forsaken, Deathwatch House: Ravenfall Notable Allies: Mithaniel, Darkflame, Malik Reeves RPG-Styled Alignment: Chaotic Evil Height: 7’5” Wanted by the Alliance for acts of sabotage, murder and terrorism. There is currently a fifty-five gold reward for his head. Zanaris stands at the towering height of seven-foot-five, just above the seven-foot-two average of a Kaldorei. He has long, flowing black hair that drapes down just before his lower back, fixed neatly and still as full as it could have been in life. Dormant, glazed over eyes stare forth into a cold, ever-glaring gaze. Despite retaining features of Elven beauty past death - such as defined cheekbones and an impossibly sculpted jawline, Zanaris appears very much undead. His entire body, while displaying a moderately toned finish with armor on it, is unsettling at the least. What once was a tower of defined muscle and life is now a skeletal mass of leathery, sinewy flesh which has long since faded to a ghastly shade of a murky grey. Form-fitting armor is what he is commonly adorned in, making no effort to hide his morbid appearance. If a mask is not worn, one can easily see the thick scar across his throat - a possible identification of when he faced his mortality. Zanaris very clearly embraces the freedom that comes with undeath. Having faced death long ago, he no longer is bound by the fragility of life or the concept of morals. Such is evident with what he has become; cold, calculated, deceptive. Carried over from life, he still walks and performs each movement with elegance and perhaps an overbearing sense of pride. With his overzealous pride and ego, he has become even more judgmental than he were while breathing, seemingly holding this quality of himself in praise. Zanaris is often found ... almost everywhere, truth be told. He goes where the masses are, bringing his cult-like following - Deathwatch - along with him. He constantly awaits the opportunity to recruit or eliminate threats for the betterment of the Forsaken. Because of his attempt at omnipresence, both he and his guild have gained a reputation of infamy and terror, finding themselves all wanted dead by Alliance oriented bounty hunters and/or officials. Whether it is intentional ignorance or the lack of care, he still travels abroad, having made a few living allies - though neutrally aligned. Where the Alliance would prefer him erased and begrudgingly work with him against common threats, the Horde either hold him in skepticism or praise. Observant - Zanaris analyzes everything about his surroundings and the people he encounters. Cynical - Zanaris doesn't trust easily, ofttimes seeing or expecting the worst in others. Quick-minded - He is quick to think; lying or otherwise. Agile - Zanaris is quick on his feet, coupled with undying stamina, he can perform a myriad of actions quickly and efficiently. Strength - Like most undead, Zanaris bears a degree of necromantic strength, capable of surpassing a Human at peak condition, but nothing near a Tauren or more. Elusive - Dodging, parrying and evasion come naturally to him. Shadowstalker - Zanaris is capable of melding into the shadows as a means of stealth or transportation, such as shadowstepping. Light Resistance - Zanaris displays a surprising degree of resistance to Light-based attacks. Some even have no effect whatsoever. Vessel - Zanaris Ravenfall never truly existed before a certain point in time. He was merely part of a plot for a mighty Nathrezim, Xetherus. Legion Affiliated Ravenfall Ensemble - A remake of what Zanaris once wore in life, now re-purposed for his vile deeds in undeath. Where it was once a mild, yet proud display of Kaldorei colors, it is now a muted black and silver, Forsaken designs carefully etched into the material. It offers medium protection from attacks, and allows many a pouches and straps to be fastened to it. Shoulderguards and other small plate adornments have been attached to this armor, giving Zanaris a Knightly appearance with a roguish vibe. Blackened Facemask - A simple mask created from cloth. It is often seen around Zanaris' neck in the form of a loose scarf when not fastened properly. Gilnean Single-Action Pistol - What was once an impeccably crafted Gilnean sidearm is now a perverted mockery; the Gilneas insignia crudely scratched away and replaced by that of House Ravenfall after being looted at the Gilneas invasion. It holds eight rounds. "Irony" - Zanaris' blade - coined Irony - is a strikingly Knightly longsword with very few Kaldorei etchings into the blade It is imbued with wolfsbane. Dagger - Excellent Forsaken craftsmanship has yielded the perfect weapon for a rogue. https://curiouscat.me/mordred Ask me anything, server related or no.

ArvickCorpsebane 65 Posted July 14, 2017 So. As far as I'm concerned, I would say the character itself is decent. The writing is far beyond my own capabilities and very fluid. It really goes to show that writing about anything can really capture the minds of people who aren't all that interested in the subject when you use the proper wording for it. Personally, I never had a major encounter with Deathwatch or Zanaris, so I can't speak from experience... But from what I can see, it is a solid 8.5/10 character. I might look silly trying to offer actual constructive criticism in the sea of memes, but meh... Whatever. Personally, I find the only problem with this character to be the extensive use of archetypes that are often considered cliché while bringing very little new to the table. Hence the lower rating. Other than that, I'm looking forward to meeting you ICly and knowing you better OOCly. The past on RPH be damned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mordred 183 Posted October 22, 2017 Updated. After a duel with the half elven ranger Vaelren, Zanaris found himself confronted by Elandris. In an effort to ward the Demon Hunter off, Zanaris attempted a psychic assault, but this only caused Elandris to lash out in fury, revealing him as Xetherus, the Nathrezim. Not faring well to being revealed in the most uncanny of places - Xetherus battled the brave Demon Hunter, causing him to flee after he shattered his warglaives with a powerful cleave of his demonsteel greatsword. Xetherus then made his retreat, being scarred in the process by Fera’sar, a brave Elven mage who tried to stand steadfast against the might of a Dreadlord. Lord Ravenfall as we know it is considered dead, but Xetherus lurks onwards with an entire arsenal of vessels. https://curiouscat.me/mordred Ask me anything, server related or no.
