Personality

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Viridiel is quite the character. Like most Sin'dorei he is -very- full of himself, he loves himself over anyone and everyone, seeing himself as a god in some ways. He can be annoying if you get on his wrong side as he will continually take the mick out of you. But if you are on his good side, he is quite the opposite. He sees himself as a joker, always mucking around and not being very serious. He is very flirtatious as he loves the attention of being noticed by the ladies, but it can sometimes be a flaw for him. He is very rich and he loves to show it, always getting new clothes and spending much more on things than need be, just for the fact he can. Some people see him as a jerk, but others think he has an odd charm about how forward and loving of himself he is.

History

In his starter years Viridiel hardly saw anything of his parents, his father and mother both being rangers. Instead his auntie would always take care of him and as a result, as he grew older he saw his auntie as more of a parent figure. His parents, although they did not see much of him. Were very well off and as a result Viridiel was still rather spoilt as a child and more so throughout most of his life, some say this is a reason for Viridiel's very “full of himself” personality.

In his teens Viridiel's auntie had started to try and teach him the basics of being a ranger, making him a wooden bow and wooden arrows she would set out little targets for him to shoot at, she also tried to teach him the morals of being a ranger but in a much more simplistic manner so Viridiel would understand and not grow bored of it.

As Viridiel grew older, he began to train as a ranger, like his mother and father, thanks to his auntie's easy learning and training Viridiel passed the training with flying colours, finishing his training in four years. To celebrate Viridiel and a bunch of friends he had made had decided to go on a night out in celebration, on that night he met his first true love "Lia" they hit it off quickly, she was beautiful, witty and new exactly how to keep Viridiel in line. The only problem was that Viridiel was quite younger than Lia. But neither seemed to mind. After the meeting that night, they actually decided to get married, for the reason they got on so well, but also because Lia was with child from that night. Sometime later, Lia bore their child, a boy who they named Corinthian. Viridiel made sure that he and Lia were there for their son all of the time, so Corinthian would not get the treatment Viridiel had had when he was a child. Although at this point small raiding parties of scourge had begun to spread through the lands. Burning as they went. As a result Viridiel and Lia left Corinthian in the hands of Lia's mother and went to fight for their lands.

Two months after fighting on and off, Viridiel and Lia had just finished ambushing a scouting party of scourge with some of their friends, but all of them had lost their lives in the conflict. After burying them Viridiel and Lia had begun to head back to their home, but upon closer inspection the house was ablaze. Viridiel had made Lia climb up a tree as he ran towards the house, as he got closer he could figures of the scourge which had raided his house, in desperation and anger he slew the scourge as quickly as he could, however he was almost killed if it was not for Lia disobeying him and killing the two scourge which were about to end him. After the conflict Viridiel had run into the house, not caring about the flames he had screamed his sons name, trying his best to resist the fire as his skin began to blister and bubble at the heat, he finally managed to reach Corinthians room, but upon entering he saw his son's body there, lifeless in the hands of Lia's mother who had died defending her grandson.

Viridiel immediately picked them up and headed back outside. But as he had done so he caught his own mate being cut down by a skeleton warlord. Viridiel had set Lia's mother and his son down and in pure rage he ripped the warlord apart bit by bit, screaming in its face as tears erupted in his eyes. After he had killed the warlord, he carried his family away from the chaos of the burning building, he walked and walked carrying them with him until he reached his own parents villa. Once there, his parents took them in, helping Viridiel bury the family. This was the first time they actually seemed to care for him and although he had a deep wound from the loss of his mate and son, he was happy that his parents were showing signs of care, which he had never seen from them.

Within the week the Scourge had launched a full assault on the elves. Slaughtering them en mass, Viridiel and his parents had tried to hold out in their house, but began to fail as the Scourge just kept coming, Viridiel's parents had dragged Viridiel down to the basement, they opened a secret door which led to a tunnel then forced him to go also quickly throwing their inheritance down there. They also threw a crystal on a piece of leather string saying it would be useful. Ignoring his cries of resistance to help them. They shut the door and bolted up and together they died defending their house, their possessions and most importantly their son. Viridiel spent alot of time in the tunnels, reflecting on everything that had happened in such short space, all of his family had died. He began to blame himself, hating himself and he started to neglect himself, effectively starting to torture his own body at the loss, however once he ventured out of the tunnels, carrying all of his families possessions with him. He saw the slaughter of his entire race. Upon witnessing this, he vowed to himself to bring his vengeance upon the Scourge.

After walking and venturing for days, a group of survivors found him and took him in, by now Viridiel looked a mess, but they fed him and kept him clean. The group of twelve had been hiding out together for a long time before they had heard that Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider had returned and was rallying the people. Viridiel buried his parent's possessions, and set out with the group to help Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider. It was here that Viridiel had been taught about alternate mana withdrawals and also shown that the crystal he was given could store fel energy and be used to siphon it to him so therefore he began using the fel energy. It did not seem to have much of an effect on him, although it first he found it rather painful to siphon this new more raw energy, but his body became used to it over time. His eyes becoming the fel green which was becoming a trait of their need of alternate magical sources.

Although when Kael'thas headed to make an offer an alliance with the Alliance, Viridiel stayed in his homelands.

Once Silvermoon was rebuilt he headed over there. He had signed himself up for the newly formed “Blood Knights.” Which promised much new hope and glory for their members. Viridiel although enjoying the life as a ranger, was more suited for the knight style. He was taller and much more of a stocky athletic build than other Sin'dorei, making him lack lightly in the stealth area due to his size. A knight however was something he saw much more fitting. So after years of hard training and routines, he became one of the Blood Knights, sworn to protect his race. Viridiel was posted to help fight against the scourge The Dead Scar, it was here that Viridiel begun to make a name for himself, after the loss of his family he had no fear of death, so in consequence he would charge in, others seeing valour in his actions would join in with his charges, exacting the revenge they wanted against the Scourge. Viridiel had made a close friend who he saw as a brother in the fights. Altinor was his name. Together they would fight in the scar. After they would head into the bars to celebrate their success it was here where Viridiel had begun to change. Whether it was grief of loss of his family, or just temptation. He began to bow into the flirting of the Sin'dorei women who would enter the bars to "congratulate" the men and women fighting in the Scar.

Viridiel had become a changed man; he pushed all thoughts of his family to the back of his mind. Trying not to dwell on the thoughts. He began to bulk himself up again, tending for his skin and hair more, not wanting to go back to he had looked when he let himself go. He trained, fought, drunk and then celebrated afterwards, all with Altinor. Although as time went the friendship seemed to strain upon the two. Altinor had begun to despise Viridiel's forwardness and his ease with the Sin'dorei women. But he did not show it.

At one point Viridiel suffered an injury in the scar. A skeleton with a half broken spear stabbed into the top of his leg. Luckily Altinor saved him, dragging him out of the battlefield to keep him safe. Viridiel said that he was forever in his brother's debt for saving him. Altinor had just nodded and made sure he was taken back to Silvermoon to rest. Weeks after the injury Altinor came to visit Viridiel, asking Viridiel to come and harass a few small groups of Scourge scouting around, Viridiel being so pompous pulled his armour on; barely able to walk he headed out with Altinor, however en route. Altinor halted, Viridiel questioned him for the reason of why the halted. Altinor had embraced with Viridiel, then apologizing he rammed a shiv into Viridiel's kidney. Shock came over Viridiel more than anything. He did not know how someone as close to his brother could do such a thing to him, he had fallen to floor, passing out in pain as his "Brother" left him to die.

Luckily a group of Blood Knight's were heading over to the scar and discovered Viridiel on the way; they did their best to patch him as quickly as possible. A couple of them had been in training when Viridiel had and so made sure they did as much as possible. When they had completed it they carried Viridiel to the scar, placing him in the encampment there to rest.

Once Viridiel had recovered fully. He resigned temporarily from the Blood Knights and forced himself out the encampment and he just vanished. Leaving the area immediately, some say he deserted others to get revenge. But in truth Viridiel just wanted to get away from all the pain and suffering which had happened in his past so he travelled as far away as he could. Although before he did, he dug up his inheritance, taking what he could with him, he buried the rest again then headed out. He is still keeping to his oath and is hoping to gather wondering Sin'dorei to come back and assault the Scourge, until then he is just wandering aimlessly.
