Personality

Alignment:Neutral


Andan is very asocial, he doesn't speak unless spoken to, or to protect someone if they are in danger. He prefers to keep his feelings in his journals. Usually, he doesn't move when he is in his journal and hates being interrupted by drunkards or something. He usually just travels bar to bars, inns to inns and other areas of history to write down what he has been doing or to see what people are doing.

He loves to observe other peoples actions, and write down their amount of stupidity, and what he would've did if he was them. He sometimes likes to describe people he thinks are attractive, or odd-looking. The millenias of writing in his journals have amounted to an increased amount of intellect for him. But he will never doubt anyones knowledge.


History

Born a year after the War of the Ancients, his family was nomadic and trying to find a place to live after their home had been destroyed. Andan was hardly fed due to the low food supply but his brother was fed more because he was the hunter of the family. The father was just a simpleton warrior who knew how to defend the family.

Andan grew up to be quiet about how he felt and never liked to talk. He would do as he was told but didn't like it because there was little reward. He would go into the woods and describe his day in a journal he made himself out of thin cuts of wood, some black ink and a small sapling branch as a pen.

He left his family not soon after, he would teach himself to hunt and cook later on. He usually went to catch bears and feast on their flanks. Also he made several journals, each one 700 pages. After a millenia of exploring and teaching himself how to hunt he decided to climb Hyjal, the steep mountain. He reached the top and witnessed the planting of Nordrassil from a distance. He wrote down several pages in his journal of the sighting, which was a big achievement in his life.

After another period of his life, he decided to go to Azshara. After he climbed down Hyjal, he witnessed the exile of the Highborne and their ships leaving the shores. He wrote it down once more, describing the beautiful lands of Azshara. He loved the color red and loved Azshara. Later on in life, he visited Durotar for abit, which was inhospitable for any Night Elf. So he crossed the 'Big River' as he described, or Southfury into the Barrens. That is where he would spend years of his life hunting Plainstriders and Hyenas. After many more years, he decided to move more south where he witnessed the War of Shifting Sands, a skrimish between Night Elves and the Slithid. He wrote it down in a rush. Though he got to re-write it with more details later.

Another historical achievement of Andan's life is when he decided to travel more of Azeroth. He ended up in Feralas, then Tanaris. He also visited Un'goro Crater where he was chased down by a Devilsaur, he survived after he shot the Devilsaur in the knee with his bow. Later on in his life, he travelled north once more, to the Barrens, where again he would write everyday and hunt. He also visited the new city of Ratchet, where he would try alcohol. It never tasted good to him, but he wrote down the taste of it. He would check in at Ratchet and sit on the highest peak that overlooked Ratchet, and write.

After a bit, he built a boat and went to Durotar. Where he would witness the Orcs and Trolls landing on Kalimdor. He decided not to greet the Orcs, because the looked like trouble. Instead, Andan padled away as fast as he can on his canoe. He landed back in Ratchet and sprinted to his spot and wrote down their features and how horrid the trolls looked. He then sprinted to Ashenvale, going to warn the others of the new comers, but he didn't want to talk to anybody. He climbed Hyjal after several booms and pows were heard, there he witnessed the fall of the Giant, Archimonde. Which he wrote down, all the wisps that attacked the blue beast.

It was magnificent, he wrote in his book, but he then decided to leave the Night Elven area for a while in order to rest and write in Ratchet, and that he did. He now sits in libraries wherever he can go, educating himself quickly about what happened in those events, and is very interested in other races too. He just sits and reads and writes, waiting for another event to happen for his 700 plus paged journals that he hoards in his backpack.
