RP Hooks

• Draenei: There aren't so many of us. Any draenei can probably know him!

• Shamans and the Earthen Ring: There are even less shamans than there are draenei, so yet another good excuse to know him!

• Argent Crusade: He is not part of the Argent Crusade, but has spent some time adjacent to it, as he has at least one close friend in the organization.

Appearance

Nesselos is a rather large, muscular draenei man with light blue skin and darker blue hair that he wears spiked up at the back. He is usually smiling (don't believe the character model), and other draenei would say that he looks very young.

Personality

Forgiving - Optimistic - Adventurous - Clumsy

Nesselos looks towards the future with hope and enthusiasm. He's not one to hold a grudge, and has sometimes been criticized for being too willing to forgive others. He's outgoing and likes making friends, but he is a bit awkward and often ends up saying the wrong things. As a counterpart to his size and strength, he lacks some fine muscle control, and is prone to breaking small things.

This character can be romanced.

+ Romancing Ness

Ness is primarily (but not exclusively) interested in other relatively young draenei, and is most frequently (but not exclusively) attracted to men. He can be romanced casually and seriously.

Casually, Ness is friendly and accommodating partner. He is unlikely to be the one to initiate, simply because he has learned that he sucks at reading a room. However, he loves physical affection. Unless there is some compelling reason not to, he would usually accept invitations.

As a serious partner, Ness would be attentive and supportive and would do his best to make his partner happy. He would not naturally go for monogamy, but he would be content if it makes his partner happy. He would be very loyal and a little protective of his partner.

Ness would be attracted romantically to people who are demonstrative, positive, and caring. He would be unlikely to be attracted to people who are pessimistic, stoic, possessive or volatile.

History

Nesselos is considered a very young draenei, and he was born on Draenor. He is the cousin of Erixa, and extended family-by-marriage to Gaakhed.

Ness grew up with his parents in a small town in Shadowmoon Valley, not too far from the Temple of Karabor. Unlike his cousin Erixa, his side of the family never showed a strong affinity for using the Light in combat. Instead, they were mostly hunters, fighting the beasts of Draenor to keep their people fed.

While out alone one day, Ness encountered a young orc shaman. Though initially wary of one another, the two become close friends over several years. This friendship abruptly ended when the orcs began their campaign of draenei extermination, abandoning the ways of the shaman for warlock magic. When the inevitable attack came, Ness and his parents escaped their village and survived, though many others did not.

Throughout Vanilla Classic, Ness was with the hiding draenei refugees in Draenor as it became Outland. He was ultimately with the group on the Exodar when they made their escape.

+ Burning Crusade

When they crash-landed on Azeroth with the Exodar, Ness heard the voices of the elemental spirits for the first time. In memory of his dear friend, who was horribly corrupted, Ness then pursued a path into the shaman arts. A number of his friends had already or soon did take up the same pursuits, and they formed a small draenei cohort.

Nesselos felt the most affinity to water and healing, and he was determined to use these skills to help people in their new world. His cousin Erixa insisted that he didn't have the necessary callousness to work on a battlefield, and advised him to stay on Azuremyst Isle. Instead, he started trying to build a reputation as a battle healer, and eventually successfully joined Cobalt, the same mercenary company as his cousin.

+ Wrath of the Lich King

Nesselos initially remained in the south during the beginning of the Northrend campaign, and he enlisted his friends' help in tracking down his old friend Kraz. They found out that he had married and had a son, attempting to turn away from the fel though the corruption remained. The team found his young adult son with treasure hunters outside Zul'Aman, and learned that Kraz and others had already left for Northrend.

Nesselos eventually followed his dear friend Therald north, and spent considerable time working on behalf of Cobalt Company alongside the Argent Crusade. He did, eventually, encounter his friend Kraz in the Grizzly Hills. Kraz was approaching elderly, though Nesselos was much the same as he was when they were friends in Northrend. Kraz spoke of his regrets from Draenor, and how he was trying to use the rest of his life to make amends. The two reconciled.

+ Cataclysm

During the Cataclysm, Nesselos has spent much of his time chasing down minor elemental disturbances on behalf of the Earthen Ring. Perhaps most notably, he and his friends Kaerix and Mansia worked in Westfall to remove salt from the farmlands and to calm the raging air elementals. They put a binding on the Raging Chasm to prevent it from growing into a full-blown tear between Skywall and the material plane.

He has now come to the Maelstrom, to lend his strength to the Earthen Ring in preventing Deepholm from crashing into Azeroth.
