User:Morec/Neutral Roleplaying Characters

A list of the self-aligned characters or those who are affiliated with a faction that is not playable in-game (i.e. the Burning Legion, the Old Gods) that I use for Roleplaying. Enjoy, and be sure to look at my Horde and Alliance characters as well.

= Curho Demoneye =


 * "Chaos, it is the only absolute in this world and all others. The Legion recognizes this, and attempts to teach the mortal races that lesson. Those that listen are rewarded with great power, those that do not are slaughtered without mercy - both you will soon see."
 * — Curho

Curho is a warlock of the Shadow Council with strong ties to the Burning Blade, and a servant of the Burning Legion. Long ago, when he was first attempting to worm his way into the service of the Legion, he traded his eye to a demon know as Ambassador Hellmaw for the devil's luck. Even if the fiend's promise was a hollow one, Curho has felt more powerful ever since that day.

Biography
Curho had been small for an orc child, and being raised in the Lordaeron internment camps wasn't a plus either. Every day of his life the guards and larger children would push him around for reason he couldn't understand. When Thrall can to rescue the orcs from the camp, his mother, as well as several others, were killed in an attempt to stop the orcs from escaping. He promised her he'd do whatever he could to serve the Horde that had come so close to freeing them both.

Curho attempted to join the ranks of the grunts, but was quickly turned away from them because of his lack of strength. He also showed no ability to serve as a shaman, and was too clumsy to be a scout. This left him with only a peon as a option to serve. He tried hard, and was able to assist the Horde in several of its battles, but the constant beatings and dehumanizing comments from his overseers began to have a slow toll on his sanity.

After some time, he finally snapped. He killed the Overseer and fled deep into the Barrens, eventually meeting up with a caravan of warlocks. They attempted to kill him, but Curho, in a blind fury, murdered many of them. Those left standing decided that they might be able to use an orc with his apparent disdain for life, and so welcomed him to join them. With no other place to go, he went.



He was taught how to use the powers of the Burning Legion, how to summon demons, and the warlocks took the hate within him and twisted it to be pointed at their enemies. Unfortunately they went too far in one training exercise, pushing him and ordering him around too much, and he murdered them all. He spent the next few days mulling over their tomes and what to do with himself. After some time he successfully communed with a demon named Hellmaw, and gave the fiend an eye in return for even greater power.

After that, Curho proceeded north to Felwood, where he joined the rest of the Burning Blade clan and other servants of the Burning Legion. He trained and eventually found his way into a position of power within the Fifth Circle of the Shadow Council. Now at his full power and in the prime of his life, he seeks to throw the world into the fiery, demonic chaos that he believes only the Legion can bring, even if that means serving the Horde once again to bring his enemy down from the inside out.

After the Legion's defeat at the Sunwell, however, Curho vanished, his disappearance lasting throghout the entire campaign against the Scourge.

Post-Cataclysm
With the sundering of the world brought by Deathwing, however, Curho has returned to the world, far more powerful than before. In his absence from Felwood, he had traveled to Outland in an attempt to find and retrieve artifacts and other support that may be used to further the power of the Legion. He stumbled upon the powerful Apexis Crystals and, after much trial-and-error research, managed to learn how to corrupt them with fel energy, turning their focus away from enhancing the mind to enhancing demonic magic.

Curho now wears one of these corrupted crystals around his neck, drawing power from it whenever he needs to do so. The orcish warlock also works tirelessly to bring more of the crystals to Azeroth for use by the Shadow Council, believing them to be the savior of the Burning Legion's holdings in Azeroth.

Curho also forsake the Burning Blade Clan - the repeated failures of the clan proving to him that it was too weak to be worth his while. With him he took the most powerful members of the Burning Blade, and even some from other clans, and with them forged a new clan under his rule; the Demon's Eye Clan.

Appearance
Curho's skin is a dark shade of green and his remaining eye, although not the same shade of red as many other orcs infused with demonic might, glows red with hatred for all who do not serve the Legion. His robes are blood red and black, helping to identify him as a warlock, and he carries a sword that's fel-infused blade matches the color almost perfectly, and the black eye patch he wears does the same. The tome he carries at his side contains a number of demonic incantations - most of which he's already memorized - for summoning demons, casting destructive spells, and enhancing his own power. He stands at six feet one inch and weighs three-hundred-twenty-five pounds.

In his demon form, Curho has a pair of black, bat-like wings sprouting from his back (although these do not allow him to fly), and his feet and hands changing into giant talons and claws. His face transforms from orcish features into something that resembles a pit lord, his tusks growing larger and sharper, and a tail that also resembles the annihilan sprouts from his back. His size also increasing, reaching a point where one could never have imagined he was anything smaller than the monster he becomes in demon form - standing at fifteen feet tall and weighing some one-thousand-nine-hundred pounds.

Ziljub
Ziljub's left ear, left eye, and two fingers from both his left hand and his right have been removed. His body is also bruised from Curho kicking him around - literally - as the warlock sees fit, and his horns have been forcibly sawed down to nothing more than a pair of nubs. Other than that, his appearance is the same as most other imps, black flesh and glowing yellow eyes. His hands burn with fel-fire even when he is not preparing or casting a spell. As this causes him great pain it is likely the work of Curho's magic, and the agony has caused him to develop a slight twitch.

Zangthak
Zangthak's appearance has been altered by Curho in less drastic ways then his other, more physical, demon minions. The voidwalker's body is still a deep blue color, but runes inscribed on the bracers that bind him to this plane of existence cause a storm of demonic lightning to rage inside of him. Zangthek is unable to use this lightning in any form of offensive or defensive spell or ability, and the only purpose it serves is to torture the poor demonic being for his master's amusement.

Bronaith
Bronaith's skin tone has a few shades of red, and she wears the same armor as any other succubus in the thrall of a warlock. Unfortunately, she does not share much of their alluring appearence, thanks to Curho's work. Her skin has been scarred all over, making the once silky-smooth flesh of this demon coarse and rough. Her right horn has also been removed, and her leathery wings have been torn to shreds. Curho knows that an attractive succubus is a more useful than an ugly one, and so painfully carved a set of runes into her back that she can use to make herself appear beautiful once again, however, she is only able to do this when Curho allows her too - the warlock being able to activate and deactivate the runes at will.

Luukun
The tendrils on Luukun's back have been heavily scarred and some have even been removed by Curho. These scars still cause the felhunter great pain, and the beasts red flesh has been torn open in some places and then fused back together with demonic flames. Runes painfully inscribed all over the body of this creature make him eternally hungry, always craving more magic. This hunger makes him especially helpful against magic users and even those who don't use magic, because Luukun will often attempt to feed the hunger for magic with blood. However he does not attempt to drain Curho's magic, knowing very well what would happen to him if he tried.

Bleekgozin
Bleekgozin is the most defient of Curho's demon minions, as such the warlock has had to go to great lengths to break him. The left half of the felguard's pale-white skin is charred black because of demonic fire that Curho has burned him constantly over the course of several days. Even with that, the muscular demon is still very willing to talk back at any orders given, although he will follow the orders given immediately. His armor is yellow-green, and he weilds two weapons: a massive fel-iron axe in his left hand and an equally massive fel-iron claymore in his right.

Tainthoof
Tainthoof is the only one of Curho's demons that seems to have avoided the grotesque disfigurement the others were put through. This may be due to that fact that, if harmed too much, the demonic steed may not be as strong as is needed to carry his master the great distances he sometimes travels. Tainthooof's demonic armor is inscribed with runes, but it is unknown what effect - beneficial or harmful - these demonic symbols have on the beast.

Personality
Curho hates anything that isn't sided with the Legion in some form or another; however he is smart enough to realize that killing them isn't always the answer. He is capable of entering Horde society when he has need to, but prefers to spend his time in the company of other warlocks directly aligned with the Burning Legion and its many servants. He treats his demon minions with even less respect and more hatred then he does the enemies of the Legion on a daily basis, torturing and disfiguring them as he sees fit. Because of this, his demons fear him, and do what he wishes without question - which very well may have been the results Curho was looking for while he was inflicting the pain and disfigurement onto them.

Despite this, he carries the - as many other warlocks would see it - weakness of still holding onto a code of honor - twisted though it may be.

Abilities
Curho is a powerful warlock with particular skill in the mastery of demons - his powers in that field of demonic so advanced that he can keep two of his summoned minions out to battle from him at once. Whenever he fights, he enters combat with one goal in mind: cause as much destruction as is physically possible. Of course, he realizes that a blood-thirsty rampage isn't always the answer, and so does his best to stay out of battle when it doesn't suit his intentions. No matter which demon he sends in to the battle to attack his foes, he expects the same result; the death of his enemies, and he can empower his minions to the point where he thinks they can achieve that goal. He also has a decent amount of knowledge in regards to demonic runes, and uses what he knows to benefit himself, the Burning Blade, and the Legion.

Ziljub
Ziljub's skills include defensive and offensive magics, and, in the interest of avoiding more suffering, he balances these out to best aid his master. Hurling firebolts and creating shields of demonic flames, as well as the occasional phasing in and out of reality and an insignificant blood pact, are the only abilities that the tiny demon possesses, but he uses them with surprising efficiency. So long as his usefulness in combat doesn’t end, Curho refrains from taking out his frustration on the imp any more then he already does.

Zangthak
Zangthak's stamina is great, and his strength matches it. Curho uses him the same way any warlock uses such a creature; as a meat shield and occasional means of attack. The natural ability of voidwalkers to drink in the shadows around them to regenerate their strength is enhanced by Curho's mastery of demons, and, even though the orcish warlock will occasionally torture Zangthak by forcing him to fight with little life left in him, the demon uses his "blessing," of sorts, of serve his master - if only to avoid whatever more suffering Curho would inflict upon him.

Bronaith
Bronaith's true appearance leaves much to be desired, but when he uses the runes carved into her back she becomes a distraction to all men and even some women. All of her other traits are the same as the other succubi; low stamina, skilled with a whip, and a limited affinity for magic. Curho has some use of her in combat, but most other times uses her as a stewardess and entertainment for the powerful members of the Burning Blade and Legion that visit him.

Luukun
Because of Curho's magic, Luukun is eternally hungry, and satisfies this hunger by draining magic from otheres - be it beneficial spells from enemies, or harmful spells off of his master. This felhunter is also an excellent tracker, and Curho uses him to hunt down any that escape imprisonment by the Shadow Council or the Burning Blade. Luukun's stamina is not great, but his ferocity and cunning makes him an invaluable asset to Curho's work.

Bleekgozin
Bleekgozin is the most physically imposing of Curho's minions, and is more then capable of taking down something as strong as a large abomination single-handedly. He weilds his two weapons with not only a great ammount of brute force but also great skill, and this finess can be surprising comeing from something that should only be able to display feats of barbarian-like strength. Curho is able to further his demon's strength by sending Bleekgozin into a blind battle rage through the infusion of demonic magic.

Tainthoof
Tainthoof's speed and stamina is unrivaled by all but the other steeds used by the Legion. Because of these characteristics, Curho uses the mount to distract his enemies when subtlety is needed, or for offensive purposes if his situation is that dire. Still, the beast has only one true use: carrying the orcish warlock to any destination of his choice.

 * "Come Tainthoof! Your master has need of your service." (Summoning his demonic mount, Tainthoof)

Trivia
In one RP, Curho was transformed into a fel orc after a extended period of direct exposure to the energies of the Twisting Nether.

= Lak'tuk Demoneye =


 * "My name means 'suffering,' but I have no intention of letting you live long enough to even speculate as to why."
 * —Lak'tuk Demoney

Lak'tuk Demoneye's true name has been lost to history, as those who knew it at the time of Curho's claiming of her were all killed and she has matured beyond recognition for any others. She is a powerful Shadowmage and fully loyal to the cause that her father serves.

Biography


Lak'tuk was only a small child when the caravan that she, her parents, and several other Horde members were traveling through Ashenvale with was ambushed by assailents of the Burning Blade led by the warlock Curho Demoneye - who was then merely an innitiate of the Shadow Council. They slaughtered each and everyone of the caravan members except for Lak'tuk, who managed to hold back many of the clan's warriors with very basic magic powers despite her young age. Curho was impressed by her innate feel for battle, and so brought her with him back to Jaedenar. There he began to teach her in the ways of the warlock and Legion, and she quickly caught on.

In time she forgot about the fact that Curho had slaughtered her real parents, and came to call the warlock of the Shadow Council father and forgetting about any other members of her family. Although she never fully mastered the ways of the warlock propper, she did find her niche in the powers of archaic mage magic. She stood by her father's side throughout all of his work before and for a short while after the Dark Portal was opened, assisting him and his allies in all of his projects and becoming ever-more adept and zealous at using her power to further the cause of the Legion.

While Curho was absent, Lak'tuk assumed his duties in Felwood. She was one of the few that belived her father still was alive.

Post-Cataclysm
When Curho returned he gifted Lak'tuk with one of the corrupted Apexis Crystals he had created. She then assisted him in forming the Demon's Eye Clan and, being the daughter of the clan's chieftain, became second in command of it. She was then sent by her father to the Eastern Kingdoms to attempt and secure a hold for their clan and the Shadow Council.

Appearence
Lak'tuk's skin is a light green and her eyes are a light violet color unlike her father's red eyes - much to her dismay. Her dark brown hair has been shaved off, save for a single, dark brown braid that runs down her back. She stands at nine feet tall and weighs five-hundred-eighty pounds. She wears plain green robes and carries a sword for protection incase her magics ever faulter, just like Curho. After Demoneye's return from Outland and gifting his daughter with a corrupt Apexis Crystal necklace Lak'tuk began wearing more elaborate and colorful clothing that she felt fit her newly increased power.

Personality
Lak'tuk is fully loyal to her father and his vision of the Legion's return and destruction of Azeroth, and thus does not doubt Curho's actions or power. She has less faith in her own abilities, however, as she has failed time and time again to fully grasp the power of the Legion. When facing others she starts out extremely confident in her ability to win, but if the battle drags on for too long she is likely to start becoming unnerved and may retreat. Even though she may not remember or care about her real parents being slaughtered by her adoptive father.

Abilities
Lak'tuk has learned to compensate her lack of demonic power with arcane might; relying heavily on portals and teleportation and deffensive spells to protect herself from harm. Her limited affintity for the power of the Legion taints all of her spells with a noticable essence of fel, however, giving her some hope in her ability to one day master the demonic powers of the Legion. She prefers fire to use fire spells, but most often uses typical arcane ones. She can speak Orcish and is studying Eredun.

Quotes
"All will perish before the Legion!" (said in orcish)

Trivia
In one RP, Lak'tuk began to impersonate the dreaded warlock Dag'rema after the later was slain by heroes seeking to stop her evil goals.

= Marisa "Talah" Blackswallow =


 * "Pay me, give me a target, or get out."
 * — Marisa, said to many who seek her valuable services.

When you care enough to send the best, call for Marisa Blackswallow - or "Talah" as she is known to most others. Marisa studied under some of the greatest rogues of Ravenholdt but, with nothing more to learn from them, she no longer associates herself with them. If one seeks to find her, almost all rogues in the Horde cities and a few that reside within the capitals of the Alliance can direct anyone that has need of her abilities to her "vacation home" in Silverpine Forest.

Biography
Marisa Blackswallow was a young girl when the orcs attacked Silvermoon. Her mother, a ranger of Quel'thalas, was killed the trolls who had allied themselves with the Horde. From that day, Marisa never able to think straight again, and her father's telling her to "forget about mommy" didn't help her clear psychological problem either. She fled from her family at the first opportunity that presented itself and spent the rest of her life as a street urchin in the less then magnificent parts of Silvermoon.



She taught herself how to avoid the guards and steal from the various shops that filled Silvermoon's steets. Her father offered many rewards for anyone that could bring Marisa back to him, unfortunately she managed to elude every attempt made to - as she began to see it - capture her. She barely managed to escape the undead Scourge when they came to Silvermoon, but not before seeing her father and grandmother ripped to bloody shreds by them. Although she didn't care for him anymore, the horrific sight still had as much of an effect on her brain as the death of her mother had.

She traveled around the Northern Eastern Kingdom's for some time after that, avoiding the Scourge at all costs, but also seeking to find a new home for herself. She was eventually found and taken in by Myrokos Silentform of the Ravenholdt Guild, who trained her as best they could to become a talented rogue. Over many years of training her skills, abilities, and knowledge of poisons and underhanded tactics steadily improved, but so did her ambition and love for wealth. One day she attacked and severely injured Myrokos as well as several other rogues before fleeing Ravenholdt Manor for good.

A few weeks later, she came across and claimed an old farmhouse for herself in Silverpine as her own. From there she welcomed anyone that came to her with a job. She spends her time alone and rarely leaves her home, but if one asks around enough, they can gather the information they need to find her - although she is known only as "Talah" to all others.

A few years later she was hired by Argent Crusade to assist them with their war against the Scourge. All went well until she reached Icecrown and was assigned to assassinate the cultist Alumeth. This went horribly wrong when she discovered that Alumeth had transcended into undeath, and she was captured. Instead of killing her, however, the Scourge experimented on her, combining her blood with various poisons and venoms, keeping her alive through dark magic.

When finally they did decide to kill and resurrect her, they were shocked to discover that her hatred of them had grown so strong that it was actually able to overpower the might of the Lich King's domination. She slew them all, some with weapons others with the poison that now filled her veins. As she was fleeing, though, they made another attempt to stop her and almost succeeded. Had it not been for a quick intervention by Forsaken hunter and marksman Vrem Dartskul, Talah would, very likely, have not escaped the Scourge.

Post-Cataclysm
After the Cataclysm brought the worgen-Forsaken conflict into the forest, the now-undead Talah was forced to move in the interest of personal safety. She took up residence in Quel'thalas, in a small but elaborately furnished home - including a large fel crystal. Despite the move, she remains aloof from the rest of her kind.

Appearance


Marisa is a shapely elf for one of her age, and the visual appeal has helped her many times over with reaching and dealing with her targets. She wears black leather armor most of the time, although she also has more comfortable and far more expensive clothes in her possession. Her fel-green eyes clearly show that she is a blood elf, but the deep blue contacts she has managed to get her hands on allow her to mask this when she is dealing with races who would be less then hospitable towards her presence. When more than a simple pair of contacts is needed to hide her true identity, though, she lets her hair down from the pony-tail she usually keeps it in and puts on a brown linen robe. This allows her to assume the appearance and false identity of a high elf mage, although she has no ability to cast any sort of spell whatsoever.

Even after death she retained much of her physical attractiveness, the poison in her body doubling as a preservative. The only noticeable difference about her - besides paler skin, much colder flesh, and a slightly thinner physique - is that now, although one eye still glows green with fel magic, her other eye now glows yellow like many Forsaken.

Personality
While it couldn't be said that she is evil, Marisa is a bitter character and most certainly doesn’t care much for anyone besides herself. She doesn’t care for the life of those she assigned to kill, or the life of anyone who gets her in way. Despite her seemingly and overly-homicidal view of those around her, Marisa isn't one to simply walk through the streets killing innocents - unless, of course, she is being paid by someone to do so. She doesn’t like to be touched by anyone, but when her sexuality it being used to lull her targets into sense of safety and distract them from the very thing from which she takes her nickname that is quickly coming for them she tolerates it enough to get the job done. Like many blood elves before the restoration of the Sunwell, she is addicted to fel energy and even prefers it over the magic of the now-holy fount of power. This may or may not have anything to do with why she refuses to fully rejoin blood elven society.

Since becoming undead Talah's usually bitterness has grown slightly, almost to the point of sheer hatred. She has also become a much crueler and colder person, caring almost nothing for anyone she meets. Even in death she is addicted to fel energy, and still enjoys draining large amounts of it into her blood stream.

Abilities
Quick thinking, murderous, and even more beautiful. There are few combinations that are as deadly as these, and Marisa uses them to her advantage. While she uses her... assets to distract her targets and general enemies, she slowly moves in for the kill. She is highly skilled at stealth, the use of smoke bombs, and other subtle and distracting methods as well, though, and whenever she cannot seduce her targets into coming to her, she makes the decision to go to them, dagger in each hand, and ready to kill. She also has the talents to pull off a clever, non-magical disguise that gives her the appearance of any normal high elf through the use of blue contact lenses.

With her undead body now filled with poison, Talah's very touch is toxic, able to poison someone instantly and kill within a few days. She has also developed a way to drain her own venomous blood to use as a poison to coat her daggers. She remains as subtle, clever, and deadly as ever, though, and still is hired by many people who seek other dead. Despite the changes that came to her in undeath she is still capable of disguising herself as a living, breathing high elf.

Quotes

 * "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If no poisons are available, however, a dagger planted firmly between the ribs should work just fine. If that doesn't work either... well, then I suggest ripping their head from their shoulders." (Marisa on the male species)


 * "Talah" (Marisa's calling card, said to anyone she kills as the life seeps from them)

Trivia
Due to the well-cultivated reputation Marisa has created, only those that were members of Ravenholdt during her time there know her true name. To the civilians of Azeroth's various factions and even newer Ravenholdt members - the older one's respecting her impressively infamous reputation - she is simply known as "Talah." As Death.

= Timothy Vrote =


 * ''"This world will return to the state that he Ancient Gods wish it! Surrender to the only true masters this world has ever known and be blessed as I have been!"
 * — Timothy, rallying the Twilight's Hammer Cult.

Timothy Vrote is a human member of the Twilight's Hammer clan. He has served the cult in their efforts to bring about the end of the world for some time, and for his zealous loyalty the Old Gods granted him their blessing. They disfigured his left hand, giving it the appearance of one of their faceless one minions and much greater strength.

Post-Cataclysm
Even after the Cataclysm, Timothy remained in Silithus, taking command of the Twilight's Hammer forces there. Within what remains of the fallen kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj he plots the Hammer's next move from this location. He also awaits orders from Cho'gall, beliving that the chieftan of the Twilight's Hammer is working on a very special plan for the Hammer in Silithus. He also began practicing elemental magic, becoming a fairly potent geomancer. He also continued his expiraments in communing with the Old Gods

Appearance
Timothy has blond hair that extends to the chops on his face. The robes he wears are the same as any memebr of the Twilight's Hammer; Violet, and both fufilling cerimonial and protective needs. His left has was mutated by the power of the Old Gods, and transformed into a disgusting mass of purple flesh, his fingers becoming little more then three tenticals that writhe around with a mind of their own when he does not put them to any type of work. His right hand has remained untouched, however, and he carries a tonfa-style blade in his hand, weilding it with amazing - deadly, even - skill.

Furthered expiramentation on his part after the Cataclysm also caused massive eyeballs to grow on his shoulders, a further sign of the Old God's influence and - in his eyes and the eyes of many of his associates - an further blessing from his masters.
