Sunsinger!

[Sunsinger]

Well, at the behest of a few of you I'm hoping to make Sunsinger officially an ally/advisor of NBR. XD That's right, the kooky fire mage is at your service! Below is a physical description of her for you and a personality summary (as well as a few topics to wisely avoid with her). Enjoy, and I hope y'all like her as a teammate!

Sunsinger
Age: Undisclosed
Height: 5'9
Weight: 165 lbs
Build: Athlethic
Eye color: Right eye is typical sin'dorei green; left is akin to a human's clear, blue-green color without the elven fel fire.
Hair color: Dirty gold
Class: 70 mage
Rank: None officially; views herself as aid/advisor to the whole of NBR.

Sunsinger came to Silvermoon an enigma and she's working hard to keep that image. Fierce, fair, and empathetic, she listens intently yet reveals very little about herself that would allow one to put together a clear image of her past. A highly skilled arcanist, she is a loud voice in defense of the people at large and the betterment of the sin'dorei race as a whole. Her raw skill and research talent has earned her a place of high regard with Silvermoon's magisters, much to the dismay of the Blood Knights. Unlike most magisters, she is not afraid to get physical with an opponent but won't pick a fight she know she can't win. Cunning and sheer force of personality are traits she values and employs to their fullest. Those that cross her rarely get a second opportunity to do so, after learning the sting of fire or the humiliation of a wide variety of polymorph spells.

Others outside of her immediate family - her husband Jaeger, her research colleague Ashlorn, her uncle-in-law Enders and her best friend Lucienus - people tend to get one of two pre-set 'faces': A) the bumbling, bouncy, cheerful individual that works to bring smiles to other people's faces, or B) an intent, care-giving problem solver. There's very little she cannot bring her mind to wrap around, and it's that mental alacrity that she intends to put to use for the Netherbright. Despite her temper she is remarkably rational when the need arises. While she prefers not to lead, she will step up and take charge if the need arises. At heart though, she isn't a battlefield commander nor does she have any real desire to become one. Her ultimate desire is to restore the sin'dorei to the healthy, happy, competent people she once knew without the twisted spirit brought about by their addiction.

[Sunsinger]

Where there's light, there's shadow, and where Sun is, her colleague Ashlorn usually follows at a distance. Especially with "The Lab" thread up, many of you are going to see this guy so I figured you might as well know a little bit about him!

Ashlorn Endwright
Age: Undisclosed
Height: 6'0 (even with his hunchback)
Weight: 155 lbs
Build: Emaciated and bony
Eye color: Glowing gold
Hair color: Bleached, bone-white.
Class: Warlock
Rank: None officially; helps Sunsinger in her endeavors.

Even at first glance Ashlorn isn't a figure that many would consider messing with. Despite his doubled-over stance as a result of the blow to his back that ended his life, he still towers six feet tall over most Forsaken and even several elves. His movement speak of control and precision, an ease that comes with the understanding of things not yet touched upon. Despite his warlock status, he is never seen clad in anything other than shades of evergreen, piercing gold eyes gazing out over the lip of a facial mask.

Ashlorn, when asked, would describe himself as 'a scholar of shadows'. His journey to and in undeath is what gave rise to such a self-appointed title. Shortly after the War of the Spider, the Lich King, in an attempt to test the strength of his mental bonds over his undead minions, sent an expeditionary force to a small village nestled on the border of Lordaeron and Quel'thalas. The attack was so successful that only one survivor made it out.

Ashlorn was not that survivor.

For twenty-some-odd years the former human ranger was a mindless minion of the Scourge. When Sylvanas broke free, he was one of the first to be 'rescued' as a Forsaken. But what Ashlorn quickly realized was that he was very different from his fellow undead. Powerful shadow magics suffused his emaciated form, but they did not touch his soul; did not tempt him with thoughts of untold power.

Why?

The method of his death explained it all. During the attack on his home, Ashlorn fought for one purpose only - to give his wife and two children, a girl of five and a boy of two, time to escape. That act of sacrifice marked his immortal soul forever.

Thus the 'warlock' buried himself into research; how to control his new powers, to plumb the depths of the shadow and uncover its true nature, but first and foremost - to find his family. Driven by a desire to know, once and for all, if his wife and children escaped the devastation, and the unique ability of the Forsaken to need as little sleep as one night a week, Ashlorn was able to write volumes of treatises on the nature of shadow magic and the truth of demons while using those powers in his search.

Five years of fruitless searching, and he discovered his daughter.

Now Ashlorn resides in Eversong with Sunsinger, both as a research colleague and forming a bizzare family unit the likes of which neither of them have ever truly had. He's taken on her husband Jaeger as an apprentice and manages all demon-and-shadow related quandaries Sun or her compatriots might find themselves in. His own demons show remarkable personalities of their own and even the shadows of a room seem to bend at his beck and call. No one truly knows the extent of his power, but for all intents and purposes he seems more than content to be a 'father' to the magus and her husband.
