RP Hooks

  • Stormwind: He's spent most of his life in Stormwind, so other characters may have met him there. He's very outgoing, and did not spend a lot of time around the rich and noble.
  • Explorer's League: He regularly works for the Explorer's League, which he considers a source of amazing adventures.
  • 7th Legion: He was a temporary scout in the 7th Legion, in Captain Tyrrell's unit.

Appearance

Mid-20s, light brown hair, slight build, brown eyes, handsome in an affable sort of way.

Personality

Unselfconscious - Passionate - Generous - Reckless

Sil typically approaches life with enthusiasm and willingness, though his intent is sometimes stronger than his follow-through. Cobalt Company has been the first thing he's stuck with for a long period of time (3 years, at this point), and this unexpected dedication has started to shift his self-perception. He has always had the tendency to dive into things without worrying about success or failure, risk or benefits, but as the stakes of his decisions are getting higher, anxiety is starting to creep into his usual nonchalance.

In interpersonal situations, Sil likes to be able to make the people around him happy, and he does not like to see people being mistreated. Ideally, he likes to be a glue that holds groups together. However, in this era of high tensions and conflict, even his simple impulses towards generosity can backfire on him. Was this person supposed to be an enemy? Is it wrong to help that person? He usually just helps when help is needed, and lets the chips fall where they may.

While all of this together means that Sil is willing to go to war for the people he loves, war itself takes a heavy toll on him. More than even some of my 'softer' characters, Sil has strong stress responses to being in war situations. Even so, he will still spend that part of himself for others, for as long as it's needed.

This character can be romanced.

History

As the youngest son in a wealthy merchant family with aspirations of social climbing, he was raised with a kind of cruel carelessness. It was always clear that nothing was expected of him beyond falling in line and not embarrassing the family. He endured this atmosphere for as long as he could, and then he ran away to join the circus. Sil made his way through a series of short-lived professions, typically ending either because of some mistake on his part or due to his general restlessness.

Relationships

Aze

Aze
A sin'dorei woman I tried to help in Shattrath, when I met her in a bad state. I didn't realize how enduring a friendship I was building, or how very complicated her life was. She's a bit like a beloved stray cat that wanders in and out of my life unexpectedly.
Sir Atley
Good friend by now, though I used to worry about earning his regard. Lived at his place for a while after the Cataclysm, and he's been my team leader in Deepholm.

Ben

Ben
One of my first and best friends in Cobalt. Not enough room to mention all the time we spent together. Our paths diverged a little bit when he got married, turned into a noble, and started really excelling in war/battle situations, but I'll always think of him as a brother.
Cole
A close friend. Not as stoic as he seems, good sense of humor. Also done a number of missions together, and currently on the team together in Deepholm.
Cressidha
I've been on squad with her in Outland, and again on a team together in Deepholm. I've always admired her, and that deepened into a different sort of admiration recently. We're officially courting, so we'll see how that goes.
Lord Ference
Founded the company, super impressive veteran who fought in a bunch of wars. I admire the hell out of him. He does not like that I'm friendly with blood elves. We were on squad together in Outland, and he's Ben's adopted father.
Mizzy
She and Ben and I have been a bit of a friend trio, before and after she and Ben fell in love. She's got a heart of gold and a spine of steel, and she's so much more than her family ever thought she was.
Ivri
She's a real kidder and a flirt. Fun to be around. She does not think I ought to be in SI:7, for my own good. I spent a lot of time staying with her and Dane and Karson after the Cataclysm, starting to think of them as family.
Mordecai
A friend, really comforting guy. Married to Cole. Reliable healer.
Ben's Aunt Nir
Intimidating. Her eyebrows are scary. I know her through Ben, of course, and also because she was one of the original Cobalt lieutenants, before she and Sir Ference got married and had a kid. Great alchemist, too.
