Personality

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Gruff, straight to the point. He does not like to dance around the subject, but wishes to get straight to the point and over with. His entire life has revolved around fighting, battling, and warfare against what he calls "The Great Enemy," and in his mind The Burning Legion should be considered as such, and wonders why no one else thinks this.

While he has a distrust for warlocks, thinking that they have an indirect connection to the Burning Legion, he will never turn them down to help fight against The Great Enemy, as his thought process is "Use the weapons of your enemy against them."

He has almost been listed insane, having been known to accuse almost everyone he has met as being an agent of the Burning Legion. He has even gone so far as to try to find ways to wipe his memory prior to when he joined The Alliance. So far, he is up to "I don't know," when asked about what he did before he joined The Alliance army. He refuses to acknowledge any part of his life prior to joining The Alliance army. He refuses to admit even being on The Exodar.

He has a one track mind, seeming to only focus on his big picture: Fighting The Burning Legion. Everything else seems trivial: Social gatherings, reading for pleasure, art, poetry, music… He doesn’t understand them nor does he wish to understand them. He is more for fixing his weapons, making new weapons, researching how best to defeat his foe, training, becoming stronger, becoming a better Paladin and warrior of The Light. He is no longer able to understand normal behavior, such things like feeling grief, being reserved, shyness, the concept of falling in love, nervousness, anxiety; all things that normal people express. Hypax has either dulled himself to such emotions, “brainwashed” himself, or refuses to acknowledge that he shares these emotions as well… his peers believe it is most likely the latter.

History

Prior to being brought to Azeroth on The Exodar, he was quite the normal Draenei. A family man with a nice homestead on Draenor, outgoing, and living a pleasant life. After the Burning Legion had found them, he was one of many who went into hiding and was vocal of disposing the Burning Legion, who he proclaimed was the greatest threat in the universe ("The Great Enemy.")

He joined the resistance force to fight against the invasion of the Blood Elves, and wound up on the part of the Tempest Keep which held The Exodar. When it crash landed, the Draenei medics believe that the crash and the loss of his family have caused an extreme emotional trauma, which caused him to have such a dramatic shift in personality. Later, The Alliance army medics believed this is why he wished to forget his past life due to the fact he had been cut off forever from his family.

He has fought many battles and campaigns with The Alliance army. His superiors have found that his loyalty is unlike any recruit they have ever seen, but are worried with how far he has taken his loyalty, seemingly to the point of worship. They have noted several strange phrases he has uttered, such as "The Order," in reference to The Alliance Army, "His Holy Light," in reference to his paladin powers, and other strange acts of worship toward secular parts of The Alliance. This had been investigated and was proven to be harmless.

One of the more notable of his battles was when he faced a powerful Burning Legion lieutenant, a Doomguard. The mission was a battle to push further into the Hellfire Penninsula territory, but there was a snag in the plan: they were met by a full company of Burning Legion forces, accompanied by a handful of Infernals and a lone Doomguard. He, along with many of his fellow battle brothers: paladins, warriors, mages, archers, and the like, fought their way through this force, but they were stopped by the Doomguard. As strong as Hypax was, he could not hope to stand a chance against the blade-wielding Doomguard, who carved his way through his men.

His superiors, however, had finally reached the great beast and were dispatching him with the skill that had put them into their position in the first place. This inspired the then rookie Hypax, making him fight harder, and worked his way to the great beast. They had felled his superiors, but the demon was weakened enough to where he could fight it and perhaps aid in the retreat of his allies. A Doomguard, weakened or not, was still a formidable foe, but Hypax was not alone. There was fire, arrows, and other swords by his side, but the Doomguard would not go down. The beast swung his sword here and there, but Hypax rolled or stepped the blade.

He eventually found a point where the beast got its sword stuck in the rock, and Hypax swung as hard as he could to try and break the beast's flaming blade. He focused all of his holy magic into that one swing, bringing it down like someone would hit a rail spike into a piece of wood, and broke the beast's blade. Unarmed, but not powerless, the beast charged at Hypax with his claws, and Hypax swung again at its face, still charged by the power of The Light. In its weakened state, the blow was devastating to the beast, and buried it into the rock. The loss of their most powerful demon sent the rest of the Burning Legion minions running.

This was a good victory, but at a high cost: their leading superior was defeated. Hypax had high hopes that he might fill his shoes, but they told him he was not yet ready. But his victory would not go unrewarded: he was given much stronger armor,and the armor was etched with what he was informed would be power enhancing glyphs etched in his native language, also assisting him in slaying Burning Legion minions. He was permanently posted in Hellfire. They did the same with his hammer, as he was insistent on keeping it. While not the most impressive weapon, it was still a treasure to Hypax.
