traejan lightrend | world of warcraft (oc)

CHARACTER NAME: Traejan Lightrend
AGE: 177
HEIGHT: 6'7" / 200 cm
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: LMAO HERE WE GO.
  • TALL. Also: the skeleton he hangs out with is about a foot taller than he is.
  • This big ass scar he has that starts under his right ear and goes all the way to his left hip. Can't always see all of it, of course, but there's not much he can wear (armour included) that doesn't at least show the part of it that's on his neck. Plus the weird cable-like material it's stitched up with is sort of hard to miss. That image is also a crop from an old ryslig reference pic he's not that bony lmaooo.
  • His entire left arm is mechanical! He also has runes carved into the metal... more on that below~
  • So about those runes, he has them all over! They run in vertical lines down his spine and down both arms and legs. They glow with the same blue glow as his eyes, but given how magic is in Avalon it's purely aesthetic at this point but they used to have a purpose. If his skeleton "pet" is around, it's pretty easy to notice that the exact same runes are carved into the skeleton's bones in all the same places.
  • His hair really is ridiculously long. And also blue.
  • Being an elf, he has pretty long ears and he has quite a lot of piercings so there are all sorts of metal and bars and chains connecting this and that. They're also super mobile! Some very good elven headcanon suggests that even if a non-elf learns Thalassian (the native tongue of the Quel'dorei/Sin'dorei) they can never achieve the same level of nuance and expression as an elven speaker given how much non-verbal communication is done with the ears. I have compared his ear expressions in the past to horse ears, for some context.
  • He's actually kind of laughably thin under his armour especially with how tall he is.
GENERAL STYLE: and more bullets weep
  • He's very comfortable in his armour, so he tends to wear it a lot. Yes, it is aesthetically enchanted so that unholy licky tongues (YEAH IT'S THE TECHNICAL TERM) come out of his pauldrons every few seconds, so enjoy that.
  • His armour also has way more decorative gold inlay than the in-game models have and in addition to the usual spiky death motifs he prominently displays a gold horse/unicorn crest something like this. He also has a matching signet ring. Horses are important actually hhhh.
  • He'd wear more gold on his armour if it didn't get damaged so easily, so instead he prefers to wear gold accessories when he's dressed any other way, likely to the point of gaudiness. He's going to have to earn a lot more money to satisfy his gold obsession in Avalon though haha.
  • He has expensive tastes when it comes to anything else but it doesn't always have to look obviously expensive, which is to say he's the sort of person to drop way too much money on a designer t-shirt if it's made out of a more expensive material but doesn't look much different than any other black t-shirt.
  • There isn't actually much he won't wear, assuming it fits into his personal aesthetic in some way because he has no hang-ups whatsoever about what might be masculine or feminine (since despite using masculine pronouns at this point his experience with gender is no gender).
OTHER FUN DETAILS: sure why not this is me condensing like 12 years of crap into a meme lmao
  • Typically has a very relaxed way about him. Talks a lot with his hands and big gestures because he's an elf and therefore dramatic as fuck. He's usually so lively and animated that the times when he goes absolutely too still it tends to have a jarring uncanny valley effect because oh yeah, he is a corpse.
  • Totally manspreads. He sits properly never (with examples!)
  • Smelling good is important to him because "smelly undead" jokes are really low hanging fruit for people who are not funny so he gets that a lot. He makes his own perfume oil which is described as "an earthen scent containing pine, juniper, and musk" (there's an actual BPAL scent for this lmao).
  • His handwriting is absurd.
  • Sometimes when he's focused thinking he'll crunch something like he's eating a hard candy. everyone remembers that one scene in the mummy and it is absolutely what's happening.
  • I use a variety of different animus for icon pbs at this point but i use a lot of edits of a hypmic but i'm 1000% canonblind so maybe that's funny for some people lol.
IMAGES: Old naruto-style references from 2010 are ancient but still useful brb going in my shame cave, as are edits lmao.
