So, I'm on an RP server (Argent Dawn). And even though I don't get to RP very much, my characters still have backgrounds to them. That and their OOC backgrounds. I figured I may as well introduce each of my main characters.
This is the first.
Name: Alyviel Leafstalker
Age: She stopped counting a long time ago. In her thousands.
Background:
Alyviel is the daughter of a druid and a priestess. She was originally trained in the traditional way, and served for many years as a Priestess of the Moon, and eventually as a Sentinel.
She eventually fell in love with a young druid named Daedd. Suffering the years apart when he was slumbering in the Emerald Dream, their relationship ended in tragedy when he was killed in a terrible accident. Aly's faith was shattered and she turned her back on Elune and her culture, travelling to the Eastern Kingdoms on her own. There she wandered for many years, keeping no company but her own and eventually that of a lion who she rescued as a cub from predators and befriended.
Alyviel and Mauja eventually discovered the gnome city of Gnomeregan. Fascinated by their technology, something that she had never seen on Kalimdor, Aly spent years studying the diminutive race and their ways. Eventually she became frustrated with their lack of caution, however, and once again struck out on her own.
When the Scourge came, Aly threw herself into the fighting. With her lion by her side, the former Sentinel was a formidable force and she aided many small villages in fleeing from the undead. During the Third War, it was inevitable that she come into contact with her own people again. At first reluctant, she was eventually persuaded to travel home and be reuinited with her family. In her absence, her parents had produced a daughter, Eledith, who was training to be a druid. Against her parent's wishes, Eledith travelled to the Eastern Kingdoms to fight against the Burning Legion, and Aly followed to keep an eye on her.
Personality:
Used to solitude, Aly can come across as distant and aloof. The only being she really trusts is her lion, Mauja, and she has no great love for anybody else. Uncomfortable in cities, she spends most of her time roaming the wilds. Recently she has spend a lot of time in the Outland, battling against the Burning Legion with a fierce passion.
The lighter side of her personality only tends to come out around gnomes and as part of her engineering background, leading to some mishaps with the gadgets she tinkers with.

OOC Background:
Aly isn't my first character, but she is the first I got to 60 and then to 70. I liked the idea of a hunter, running around with a pet. In SWG I had played a creature handler, and this sounded somewhat like that. I also used to solo a lot and she was a perfect fit for that.
Nowadays Aly tends to be my farming character, although I do take her along raiding sometimes. I still enjoy her playstyle very much but there are a whole lot of hunters out there. I still maintain that the class is easy to learn, very difficult to master.
