RP Hooks

  • Kirin Tor: Kirin Tor folks would absolutely have heard of him. Mostly bets placed on how long before he is too hung over to function at meetings.
  • Silvermoon Parties: If you go to a lot of parties in Silvermoon, your encounters with Geth are probably the sort that will make it difficult to make eye contact with him when you run into him on the street in the light of day. If you even remember.

Appearance

A slim blood elf (you can tell by the eyes), obviously male to other elves, but humans might have to look twice. Ridiculously pretty, fabulous mane of chestnut hair. Never leaves the house without looking like the display in a tailor's shop window. In his off hours he dresses like an absolute tramp; during work hours he's a perfectly respectable (if especially well-tailored and slightly embellished) Kirin Tor mage type. He doesn't use reading glasses on occasion; that was your imagination. Don't speak of it to anyone. (But if he did, they'd be fabulous reading glasses.)

Personality

Vain • Competent • Hedonistic • Protective

"He's Kirin Tor. Really. Said he's only blood elf for the parties." - Jocoza Sparkwire

Geth is that party boy you've definitely seen if you've been to a lot of Silvermoon parties. He usually starts the night by introducing a bunch of people to each other, and by the end of the night those people are in a naked pile somewhere which he may or may not be peripherally involved in.

Somehow, though, he always manages to be sober and rested enough to show up to work on time though and do a respectable job. He takes his duties somewhat seriously, especially when they involve Averting Magical Disaster. He has a soft spot for victims and people with hidden fragility, as well as (don't you dare tell anyone) children. He likes animals only if they're fabulous and don't shed on his clothes.

This character really SEEMS romanceable. But isn't.

History

Geth's parents were both Kirin Tor, making him a sort of shoo-in, but his father was mostly known for his enchanted jewelry, until both parents accompanied the Sons of Lothar through the portal as part of the Kirin Tor contingent. Everyone was aware they'd likely never see each other again, and so they had a nice healthy farewell, and Geth carried on making them proud back on Azeroth (during the day at least).

In the wake of Silvermoon's collapse, Geth really let his hedonism loose and started living as though there was no tomorrow. His younger sister Amarind, normally the responsible one, started a small but harmless cult as a coping mechanism and ended up falling for a charming and disreputable rogue. They now have a son. Geth, on the other hand, shows no signs of interest in anything resembling marriage or commitment. His only commitment is to his work and squeezing the maximum enjoyment out of life.
