Personality

Ruegar is a very mellow, go with the flow Tauren. This is not out of a sense of laziness but instead, it is because Ruegar simply wishes to see things as they are. He is not one to try to argue about the course of things, believing that whatever happens happens, and that you cannot change it.

To his friends, Ruegar is a rather sweet fellow. He looks out for them. He tries to help them whenever they have a problem in some way. And he tries to pass on the knowledge he has learned in life to others. To his foes, he is rather playful with, giving little 'prods' here and there. Which is directly related to how he is in combat. His strategy revolves around hit and run tactics, before being able to go in for the kill.

History

One of the many sons and daughters of Iroka and Nathar of the Skyfury clan, Ruegar grew up alongside the rest of his family. He was taught how to hunt animals that would fel the unprepared. Live off lands that were supposed to be impossible to survive in. And appreciate nature for all of its gifts.

What constantly facinated Ruegar though were birds. They were always in sight, yet always out of reach. He one day went to his father to inquire about birds, and why they can fly and Tauren cannot. Seeing as his son was very young at the time, his Father laughed and said that Tauren cannot fly because they do not have wings, and it is not their place to be in the sky. The words stuck with Ruegar for the rest of his life. (Which he currently has a good chuckle over every time he remembers them)

Ruegar, unlike his siblings, gained an incredible attachment to nature as time went on. He worshipped the Earthmother, and was generally a rather pious Tauren. So it was only natural that one of the Druids in the tribe take him under his wing. Literally. Ruegar was trained by this Druid in the ways of the Talon. As time went on, Ruegar's mastery of druidism grew stronger and stronger.

And one day, Ruegar learned of how to fly amongst the birds. He learned of the form of flight.

Almost immediately after doing such, Ruegar went to his father who was in his venerable years. He reminded his father of the question he asked so long ago. And then he informed his father that he had learned how to fly. They both had a good laugh about it, with Nathar congradulating his son on his accomplishment. Only weeks after this event, Ruegar's father would pass away, a happy bull who was proud of the family he raised. His mother would pass on years later, also happy.

With both of his parents gone, Ruegar decided it was time for him to leave the Skyfury clan. To find his own way in the world. And as time went on, Ruegar watched and took part in many events. The founding of the 'New Horde'. The battle for Mount Hyjal. Time seemed to be passing by quicker and quicker for the druid as he grew older and older.

Ruegar now finds himself in his late nineties. He seeks to be able to die a happy bull like his parents did, and now travels the world to find this death. He does not rush to greet it with open arms. But he is content with the life he has lived, and seeks to use the rest of his life for something good.
