Aeluan Starblade

While many see the blood elves as the inheritors of the title 'Children of the Sun,' this high elf seems to have missed that memo. Bronzed from the sun's kiss and blessed with rich brown hair to the middle of his back, this elf throws the thin, pretty, silver stereotype of quel'dorei out the window. Broad shoulders are quick to shake when he laughs, and a brown-scruffed jaw frames a warm and ready smile.

If a golden labrador were given an elven form, it might be a lot like this guy. He's big, friendly, and might just bowl you over if he hugs you.

At a Glance:
Smells like... An odd but not unpleasant scent of sea salt, lemon candy, and sun-warmed driftwood.
Dark-skinned elf. Contrary to available skin-tone choices in the game, this character has tawny brown skin.
Not welcome here! Yup! He's a quel'dorei. Blue-eyed elf. Alliance-siding traitor. Silver Covenant filth. By all rights, I should've rolled him on the Alliance - but have you SEEN human males? Eugh! Besides, all my friends are red.

Born to a small household of absolutely no note, those elves with ties to Sunsail Anchorage might recognize him as the eldest boy of Brightsong Orphanage - and the only blood child of the matron. Parted from the rest of his people after the Second War, he cleaved to the teachings of the Light and left Quel'Thalas behind.

Those with any connection to the Argent Dawn or Argent Crusade may recognize him as a friendly paladin with a reputation for being very good with the kids rescued from war zones. He's not bad with a sword and board either.

Regulars of the best known surfing spots of Azeroth have probably seen him at least twice. He's known for being friendly - and not drinking. What a stick-in-the-mud.
