Salabadon Starfire

= Physical traits = Salabadon is a fairly tall night elf for their race. Talling at the height of 7'8" with his long white hair, he looks like a proud night elf. His body is very muscular and he is very agile even though he is rarely seen doing fancy moves and jumps. Covering his right arm is a big, blue and glowing scar which has origins from the day he was spilt away from his brothers and family. Despite his looks he has some flaws. Like his right eye, which is gone now, after he fought a rogue to defend his love. It is now covered with an eyepatch, which sometimes tends to attract females rather than to "scare" them away.

= Mental traits = Salabadon is a very proud elf, he has a deeply rooted pride of himself and that sometimes can prevent him from seeing the greater picture. Salabadon has a long temper he always tries to find the most peacefull solution to a problem, and if there is none only then he will resort to violence. To get a smile on Sal's face can be difficult.

= Background = BEFORE THE THIRD WAR

Salabadon was born 6000 years ago in the forests of Ashenvale along with his mother and father and two brothers. The first 100 years they lived in peace and harmony, but then after a hunting trip the family lost their mother. The loss of the mother almost killed the father, now he was alone. Their lives went on for about 50 years, then Sal's father decided to split the three brothers up. Salabadon were sent to the druids in Moonglade where he would learn the ways of nature. Lightray was delivered to a travelling hunter who would teach him the ways of the hunter. Aárkan, the youngest of the three brothers were stayed at their father. At the split all brothers were given three amulets by the Dryads of Ashenvale. Those amulets were magically enchanted, but their father requested that their magic would be sealed until they were ready to use it. After the young elves recieved the amulets they vetured out to find their new families, but Sal never made it. He came to the glade of Felwood where he was attacked by the wildlife, while gathering food for his trip. Sal fought for his life, but fell wounded. There he lay for a couple of days until a druid from Moonglade came and found him. The druid had ventured out to find Sal, because he had never showed up as promised. The druid took Sal to Moonglade where he recovered and began his training to become a druid. After several years of training as a druid, Sal decided that it was time to venture back to Ashenvale and see his old father and his younger brother. The druids advised against it, but Sal was determined to go. After a few days of preparing he ventured to Ashenvale. The sight that met him when he came to his old home gave him a grim face. The house was in ruins and his father's body hang from a nearby tree. After seeing this horrific sight he began to seach for Aárkan's body, but there was no luck. Aàrkan's body was gone, so all Sal could do was hope that he was with another familiy and that he lived well. Sal took his fathers corpse with him back to Moonglade where they buried him near Lake Elune'ara, which was where his father and mother swore their eternal love for 7000 years ago. After the ceremony Sal ventured back to the sight of the ruined home, but he again met more problems. In a regular bath in Felwood, Sal felt something beneath his feet, it dragged him beneath water where he remained until he lost consciusness, then the thing that held him threw him back up on the ground. There his body was for 20 years until a wandering ancient almost stepped on him. He had awakened just before the foot hit him. Sal stopped the ancient, because he had something to ask it. He had lost his memory. All he remembered was his name, what he were and where he was heading. The ancient said it couldn't help him, but if he found out something it would send word for him. After the talk to the ancient, Sal ventured to Ashenvale. When he arrived to the sight he began to remove the rubble and rebuild his home. For some reason he could still remember how his home was like. After the house was done he stayed in Ashenvale where he helped the people in the forest with various things, while he became a protector of Ashenvale forest.



THE THIRD WAR

One day when Sal was out to collect herbs he heard the mighty call of the demigod Cenarius. Without hesitation he hasted to aid the mighty demigod, but he was too late. Cenarius had fallen and around him there was bodies of fallen friends and sentinels. Sal began to tend the living back to strength and he helped the surviving sentinels to gather the corpses together so they could burn them and send their spirits to Elune. When the official group came to search for survivors, he met and made friends with General Zeesa Bloomseeker, whom he met again a few years later, and now meets with occasionally. After the horrific experience Sal decided to aid Tyrande in awaking Mal'furion and fight the newcomers and the Burning Legion. At the battle of Mt. Hyjal, Sal was assinged to aid the human stronghold led by Jaina Proudmoore. Sal fell wounded as Archimonde and his demons destroyed the human stronghold, but Jaina saved his life by teleporting him to Tyrande's stronghold at the summit. There a priestess of Elune tended him back to strength. He then watched the ancient spirits of Hyjal kill Archimonde and save Azeroth from destruction.

AFTER THE THIRD WAR

After the Third War Sal went back to Ashenvale to start his lifelong project. Preserve Ashenvale forest and restore the former glade to it ancient glory. But he realised that he needed help for that, so he recruited some followers that aided him with the restoration of Ashenvale forest. After a while Sal met a demon left behind by the forces of the Legion, but this demon wasn't anyone. It was his younger brother, Lightray. He had sworn alligiance to a Dread Lord named Demcarr. Sal was shocked to see his brother in this state and then they began a long fight to free Lightray from his chains. And eventually they succeded. Under the battle Sal met Halara, another demon that had joined him in his clan of people. They had grown close, but there was a problem. She was with Lightray, but Halara decided to be with Sal, so she left Lightray. After a while in peace Halara and Sal was in for a surprise. They were about to have a son. But Sal had grim news. He had to venture to the Emerald Dream under order from Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm. Halara gave birth to their son when he was in the Dream. When he returned from the dream he was introduced to his son, Salvano. Months passed and Salabadon decided to take a new way of life. He wanted to protect his lands now rather than to preserve them. He got permission from General Shandris Feathermoon to create a military to protect Ashenvale forest and the surrounding lands. Now he is looking for elves that are willing to help him in his new found cause.



= Fighting skill and style =

Sal is adept in the ways of druidism. He calls upon violent storms and uses the wind on wildlife around him to his advantage whenever the need rises. Rumours has it that he only shows a fraction of his magical knowledge. Why? No one knows, only himself.

When it comes to fighting, Sal only resides to use his magic when there is no other way. Otherwise he tries to use his diplomatic cunning and if that doesn't work it is hand to hand.. And finally, if all fails.. He resides to his magic.

= Quotes = "May Cenarius' watchful eye be upon you" - Said by Sal when giving his "blessing"

Nature's grace can be more vicious than you might think!" - Said by Sal before entering a fight

"Your son nearly got killed, I nearly got killed, YOU nearly got killed- and you let him go? I know he was pretending, but that's a little far-fetched!

General Zeesa Bloomseeker to Salabadon after a battle.
