Appearance

Standing in at five feet, and nine inches, Goras looks and acts as most would expect from a battle hardened warrior. He wears thick, steel plated armor upon his body that comes in at roughly seventy pounds worth in armor, possibly more. His face is usually twisted with rage, anger, torment, and a small hint of depression. His hair is long. While not tied up in pig tails over his shoulders or pauldrons, if wearing any which he most likely is, his hair would hand almost ten inches past his shoulders in locks of long wavy dark purple hair. Upon his back, a heavy axe could be seen. Just a single edged weapon made for hacking, and slashing at an enemy. A simple, yet extremely brutal weapon none the less…

Personality

Not much is able to be told about Goras. He seems to have a few different personalities. In battle, he's fearsome and brutal. He shows enemies no remorse and unleashes a wild assault of random hacks slashes and rips in every which way at an enemy. He is known for his raw brutality and ‘Take everything and give nothing!' attitude. But whenever he isn't in the fierce clash of battle, he is usually fairly calm.

History

Not too much is known about Goras when he lived besides the fact he ‘was' a Lorderon Soldier, and died from the Plague. But let's go back a bit farther….

Goras was the son of Varius Van Ravencroft, a Paladin that was in service of Lorderon for all Goras's childhood. While Goras himself had no talent for ‘the light' or any such things, he did however have a talent for heavy weaponry. His father trained Goras for his whole life up until the age of nine-teeth on how to fight. Although, Varius feared Goras would become a monster do to how fierce he was within battle. He did not wish for his son to become a Blood Thirsty maniac and hunger for the rush of battle. But it was his worry that came to late in the end.

Not much longer, after Goras became a Lorderon soldier for a while. But no sooner than he had, a few years later the plague hit! No matter what the people of Lorderon tried, they couldn't seem to escape this horror or death. The plague took him and his father. Darkness took over Goras, the chill of deaths cold embrace was all he could remember when he… woke? Yes, woke! Goras was raised from his grave, but for what? He might have thought! But the answer was standing right in front of him, staring from right in those golden hues of his. It was the Lich King who had brought back Goras along with many hundreds and thousands of the dead souls of the tormented and damned.

For goodness knows how long, Goras faithfully served the Lich King with no questions asked. Did what a good puppy dog would do and obeyed his master. But one day, something happened! Seems the puppy dog finally got his treat! Goras hadn't known what happened exactly, but the Lich Kings power waned for some reason. Weather it is what had happened at the Frozen Throne or what… but this wane in power caused the high ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner and many other Undead to break free from his grasp!

Their new leader, the Banshee Queen led the many Undead to their old home, Lorderon. Under Lorderon, in the crypts of Lorderon the Undead made their new home, now known as the Undercity. These days Goras could be seen within the old ruins of Lorderon, within the Undercity itself, or somewhere in Tirisfal working or speaking with a young Sin'dorei woman who also go's through ‘life' as a Mercenary.
