RP Hooks

  • Vindicators: If you're a draenei vindicator, you may know her.
  • Draenei: If you're among the draenei on Azeroth, you could know her.
  • Paladins in Northrend: If you're a paladin in Northrend, you can join one of the paladin support group get-togethers to meet her!

Appearance

Strong and solid with clear skin of pale blue-grey and an intense gaze. She typically wears her sleek, black hair in pigtails that mimic her arching horns. She sees her own body as a well-conditioned tool and work of personal art, and she cares for it accordingly.

Personality

Faithful - Demonstrative - Playful - Assertive

On the surface, Erixa is an outgoing and opinionated, but cheerful and affectionate, person. She tends to try to lighten or defuse tense situations with humor. She is fond of being around other people, and by default will assume a new acquaintance is a worthy friend unless there's good reason to believe otherwise (like, you know, they're an orc). She is deeply loyal to Prophet Velen and (most of) the Naaru, though she will insist she does not follow blindly - she follows them because they are right.

She has typically met people on Azeroth through participating in missions together, which ties in with her general tendency to seek out physical activities for vocation and hobbies - fighting, dancing, acrobatics. Her identity as a vindicator and her connection to the Light is central part of her self-concept, and she also values the strength that comes with righteous anger.

This character can be romanced.

History

At a little over a thousand years old, Erixa is considered relatively young by her people. She never knew Argus, and lived all her early life on the Genedar, fleeing from planet to planet. She believed Draenor would be their final refuge, until the conflict with the orcs. Those years of violence scarred her deeply. As much as she is unable to forgive the orcish people for the atrocities they committed, she is also unable to forgive herself for actions she had to take in desperate situations.

Early in the conflict came the betrayal and destruction of Telmor, where her brother and many people she knew were slain by orcs. The draenei retreated to Karabor and Shattrath under the onslaught. Erixa fought a losing battle at Karabor, where the orcs used the power of a darkened Naaru against them. Draenor was shattered into Outland by the orcs. Erixa retreated from Karabor with the surviving draenei to Shattrath, and then was ordered to abandon Shattrath to the orcs' slaughter. Hiding in the Zangarmarsh with the survivors of this latest tragedy, she was tasked with enforcing the exile of the Broken.

After approximately seventeen years in the Zangarmarsh, the Tempest Keep arrived, and Erixa followed Velen and others to take up residence in the dimensional fortress with the Naaru. This lasted for approximately another decade, until blood elves from Azeroth invaded the Tempest Keep and Erixa and others fled Draenor to crash on Azeroth in the Exodar.

These days, Erixa has been maintaining a cheerful and optimistic exterior by living in the present, trying not to think too deeply about the past or the future. Slowly, with friends and the support of Azerothian paladins, she is beginning to try to acknowledge some of the darkness she carries with her from the past. The future, she still largely entrusts to Prophet Velen and the Naaru, though she has just recently been encouraged by a friend to try to look beyond her probable heroic death in battle.
