User:Arithorn24/Arithorn Evershadow: Ravenholdt Realm

Arithorn was born in the small town of Southshore. His parents, Faremir and Sara Evershadow were a fairly wealthy merchant family. they were both also defenders of the light and keepers of the peace, fighting evils for the benefit of Lordaeron. His father was a Paladin and his mother a Mage. He was the only child. His father trained him in hunting and sword fighting and other useful survival skills as a boy. They often went fishing together in local rivers. His mother taught him to cook and first aid. They lived in great happiness for a number of years. At the age of 10 his life came shattering down around him. Arthas Menethil, the prince of Lordaeron lead the scourge ripping through the nation, tearing a part all that was in there path. Both his parents went to the northern part of the kingdom to fight. They left Arithorn with a small family in the town. All that they did against the scourge was in vain and both were killed in an epic battle fighting for the argent dawn. Arithorn was broken, he cried every night for years after that for the loss of his mother and father. This started an immense hatred for the undead and what they did to him and his country. The small family's house soon filled up with refuges from the north and he was pushed aside and forgotten. He was left all alone with a small amount of money and no one to care for him except his old frail grandmother living in Stormwind. At this point he began his long and treacherous journey south, away from the bitter plague that engulfed his nation. He took trading ships south to Menethil Harbor and from their he went with traders caravans up the mountains to Ironforge. From Ironforge he took the Deeprun Tram the rest of the way. Once making it to Stormwind he found that his grandmother had died soon after hearing about the loss of her son Faremir and his wife. Arithorn was left without a family and all alone in the big city. Not knowing what to do he started stealing food and supplies from traders just to stay alive at his young age of 11-12. He became extremely quick at stealing things unseen, until he was finally caught by a one of the renound merchants Relon Shanorson. After the merchant heard his story and consulted with his wife Melony and the family friend Mathias Shaw, Relon decided to adopt him into his family and take care of him. Arithorn kept the name Evershadow though, knowing he was the last known living member of his family. Unfortunately the two sons of Relon did not accept him very well into their family. He was often alone at his school and had very few friends because he was so quiet. Bully's would attempt to beat him up, but most the time the bully would end up being the one with injury's. Master Mathias Shaw saw the potential in him as a talented fighter and soon started helping train him to become an expert in stealth and combat in the forests of Elwynn. Eventually his story made its way to the king. He went and had an audience with Varian and became more so "friends" with him. Varian helped him gain access to the royal library. Here he spent hours reading the history of Azeroth. He also studied military tactics, hoping to one day become an Alliance commander. With all this knowledge he gained he became more wise, seeing the things that lead to the downfalls of civilizations and rises of empires. From ages 12-18 he lived with the kind merchant and his family and trained and studied in combat and military strategies. At around 17 he began talking more and more to people. His quiet small appearance was leaving him and being replace with a strong bold leader. He had been reading books and found that most all great leaders in military and politics were socially strong, this was what sparked his new interest in being more social. At the age of 18 he set off on his own into the world to make a name for himself and become a hero of the alliance... Arithorn is a very self-sufficient adventurer, and can take care of himself very well (his parents taught him well). He battles all evil that threatens him, his allies, or the grand Alliance. He believes in the light and does not kill for fun. He is not a hired assassin or a thief. He is a high class, mostly solo, alliance heroic defender. His kills are made out of necessity for justice to prevail. He is a defender of good and will stop at nothing to bring down the evil that engulfs azeroth. He is training and studying in strategies and tactics to become a military commander of the Alliance. He does not delight in killing, but when he is called upon he will cut down his enemies with immense power and the cruel silent style of a rogue... He is often seen as a quiet self-centered person, but is good natured, talkative, and humble once you become friends with him. He is prone to small outbursts of anger when he is annoyed. He hates both the scourge and the Horde greatly (the Horde for accepting the undead into their ranks and because they fight the Alliance), but this does not compare to his hate for the burning legion and the dark titan Sargeras (whom he read about). These are the main ones he blames for the undead scourge and all the evil in the world. He will kill on sight mercilessly when encountering demons, undead, and Horde members. Overall, Arithorn is fighting for the good in the world and is trying to do his best to see that it prevails.
