Tangrim

Basic information
Full name: Tangrim Aharra Aroa

Clothes: Around the cathedral Tan will wear the same robe as the priests wear inside. About town he might feel like walking around like any other citizen, and he wears simply brown clothes.

Physical Traits
Tangrim is a young man who has suffered the bad luck of having his hair turn grey very early in his life. He has some small scars on his lower back, but he will always have his back covered up. His ears have small puncture marks left from when they were pierced when he was a small boy. When times call for it, he will put in the earrings he still has from when he left his house as a young man. His skin is fairly dark compared to the humans from Stormwind, due to his bloodline coming from the desert of Tanaris, which also reflected in his name.

Family History
Tangrim was born in a family with one younger brother.

Backround
He was born in a small village in Tanaris, that lived off the trading of goods with goblins, pirates and many a traveller passing through the area. As his family's tradition required, his ears were pierced at age 6, at around which time he began to help his father with the trade business. His parents mainly took care of the horses and other animals left in their care while their owners went into nearby town to eat, drink, fight or just spend the night. It was here that he was taught early on the ways of taking care of animals, and tending to small wounds.

When he was around 17 he met a young priest from Stormwind, who took great interest in the young man and his skilled hands in treating wounds and illnesses. His parents did not agree with his wish to learn the magic ways of the Light and wield them to his advantage, believing magic to be something one shouldn't meddle with. Despite his parents disagreeing, he took the chance and left for Stormwind to study the ways of the Light. He hasnt seen or heard from his parents ever since, but after the last talk he had with them, or rather, big fight, he expects them to have disowned him and rejected as a son. His younger brother was too young at the time to actually remember him, so for his interest he has made no contact himself.

Following the priest and learning from his teachings, from scrubbing the Cathedral floor to intricate enchanting spells, he would devote his life to giving life and preventing death, protecting his friends and loved ones with all his might.

The priest, who would be his master for several years, left one day for a destiny unknown and Tangrim has been waiting at the cathedral whenever he can for his master to return to him, even though a few years have passed. Tangrim has attempted to train himself further in the ways of the Light, but he firmly believes that there are still many secrets to learn that nobody can teach him but his master.

Family Background
The Aroa family is a well respected humble family living roughly to the northeast in Tanaris. They come from a long line of caretakers, but originally came from pirates who travelled from Westfall to Booty Bay, finally settling in Tanaris because of the nice climate and interesting people. After a few generations the pale Westfall skin color was replaced by a darker variety, though the light colored eyes and hair still remain present. Tangrim's brother, as well as his parents, have either blonde or grey hair as they grow older. They live off fees paid by their customers from taking care of their animals, or from the vegetables and herbs they grow or gather from the land around them. Tangrim is first in a long line of young men to return to where his family originally came from.

The name Aroa originated from his great-great-great-grandfather, who started a new life in Tanaris and adopted a more Tanarian sounding name. Tangrims original name is simply Aharra Aroa, but once he arrived in Stormwind people frowned upon his desert-like name, so he quickly converted his nickname, Tan (after the color of his skin) into the more Westfall and dwarfish sounding name of Tangrim. His friends will still call him just Tan. Since his arrival into Stormwind, he has not told anybody his normal full name, but just Tangrim Aroa.

Current Status
Tangrim lives where-ever he is at that moment, or in the Stormwind Cathedral. When not helping his motley band of friends, he can be found walking around Stormwind with his friend Thepol, aiding the ones who have lost the Light in their lives. If he's not about town doing that he can be mostly found in or around the Cathedral, praying for the save return of his master and his friends out in battle, or on the steps looking out over the square for any signs. He can also be found asking people for any sign of his master while carrying a glowing book he found in Outland, but is too afraid to open himself or lose sight of.

His best friend is a mage, who was always by his side in battle untill he left for a short break from all the magic. Tangrim visits him once in a while, playing simple games.

Personality
Tangrim is a very cheerful, happy and outgoing personality. He is willing to talk to anyone and everyone and is hardly in a bad mood. He likes to laugh and enjoy life as it is and does a great deal of philosphy in his free time. He respects life as it is in all its varieties, as he does people and their personalities. He will hardly refuse anyone and gets most of his joy from helping people, cheering them up and making them laugh. He's been brought up with the belief that there is good in everyone and he follows that without a doubt. Because of this, people will regard him as a man with a rather naive and childish personality, but as much as he respects everyone's opinion, he also respects his own way of living and won't change because of that.

He is however, also slightly arrogant and very stubborn. He will follow what he thinks his right and nobody can stand in his way. He is extremely loyal to his friends and as such can be used if played right. He places himself behind everybody else. Though he is a person who is not easily angered, he will become furious when he, his beliefs or his friends are hurt or offended in any way. He considers his purpose in life as most important and is very serious about matters concerning this. Being very passionate about life itself, it is easy for him to lose himself in someone else, no matter what gender they are.

His darker side hardly shows, but is most definately present. He secretly enjoys people depending on him, and he has a thirst for knowledge that can turn dangerous if he becomes too passionate about something. He is also very good in hiding his own emotions or feelings on something because he consideres them unimportant compared to someone elses. It is hard to know what he is thinking, and he likes to play tricks with the minds of people. He never does it with malice in mind.

He is one of those people that turn up in your life, and then vanishes as if he never existed. He is well aware of this, often leading to mild depressions (also because beside his master, he's lived his life alone and for purposes that went beyond himself) though he will not show it to anyone.
