History:
- Kelmith was born a bastard to a human landlord named Harris Nichols and his high-elven servant somewhere in Quel'Thalas. He was named Kevin by his father, and Trisdan by his mother. Two years later, a girl was born also, who was named Gracia and I'solde. When the landlord sold the estate in Quel'thalas, he took the children for himself without giving a thought to their mother. Harris returned to Andorhal, where he had spent his childhood. He married an awfully strict woman called Beatrice, whom he shared the children with, deciding that nothing was told to them of their halfbreed heritage. Their slower aging was soon assumed to be caused by a disease by the people in Andorhal. While Kevin managed to just about do everything like his parents wanted, Gracia had a habit of failing at chores and being clumsy. Also, befriending with poor townsfolk was soon discovered by Harris and Beatrice, who as proud nobles couldn't accept that. Kevin always cared for his sister though, and secretly hated his parents.
Kevin was an obsessed admirer of priests and paladins, and worshipped the light deeply. The time came, when he was 10 years old (still looking younger to human eyes), that he departed to Stratholme to study priesthood. He felt sad and afraid to leave Gracia behind, but he was eager to become a priest in Stratholme. Kevin found a lot of new friends in Stratholme, and wasn't bound to his parent's restrictions in about anything. So his new friends consisted of poor and rich teens alike. Still, people were confused of his slow aging, but they got used to it soon. Kevin was mainly trained by a kind priest called Stanley Jademoore, who's hyperactive daughter, Sarina was constantly picking on Kevin, although without a single ill purpose. Kevin thought of living in celibacy until marriage, but one of his friends, called Elisa Watson invited him to their house. Elisa was a self-confident and strong-willed, but a very rebellious girl at the age of 15. When at Elisa's place, Kevin was seduced by her. Kevin was utterly ashamed at first, but later realized that he had fallen in love with Elisa. He took the risk of getting caught and continued their relationship in secret.
At the age of 20 (looking 14-15 years old to humans), came the dreaded day when Mal'Ganis's and Arthas's forces stormed Stratholme. Mal'Ganis found Kevin first and made him a slave of the scourge. After some time, he was one of the fortunate ones who became forsaken. The shock of finding out what he had become, and anger towards the light that "didn't protect after all" made him many things he once wasn't. From kind to rude. From clean-mouthed to foul-mouthed. From a peaceful butterfly to a murdering monster. His remarkable knowledge of darkness was quickly harnessed to power. He also learned demonology and swordsmanship. He also renamed himself with an eredun word: "Kele'mithe". Which means "Dark Angel". With a certain dialect, it was pronounced "Kelmith".
Kelmith participated one of the greatest battles that ever raged within Ashenvale forest. Being heartless, he slaughtered everyone he saw, if they weren't friendlies or ORDERED to be spared. That included all civilians and children alike. He earned the reputation of a fiend and was feared by many. One time, a night elf prisoner at a warsong camp shouted something at him with his native tongue. A blood elf nearby translated it to "Crimson Raven". The new nickname was used by both sides, and Kelmith took great pride in it.
A few years later, Kelmith found a new chance to fight along with his queen, suring the battle of Undercity. Despite the hatred he had gained on Putress and the rebels, he was eager to join the "new" Apothecarium later on, and he eventually managed to get himself to the three department chiefs. Unlike many, Kelmith had been in ALL the departments, due to connections and ability to lead.
Why does your character want to join the guild?
- He's frustrated, and wants to properly serve the Dark Lady once again.
What skill set could your character bring to the guild?
- Kelmith has moderate skills in surgery and alchemy, but mainly his skills is within battle and military leadership.
How does your character respond to authority?
- When Kelmith has an opinion, he lets most people know it. He will obey orders to some end. But he questions them often before doing so.
i) The Forsaken are evil. There are no good Forsaken.
I disagree. A free mind is not bound to have certain kinds of feelings or personalities. The traumas caused by death ARE likely to make many forsaken twisted, cruel, mad or evil in some form. If the leaders of the horde saw nothing else but villanous deeds and cruelty in the forsaken, they wouldn't propably trust them even the little bit they do now. All orcs aren't evil, all trolls aren't evil, all tauren aren't evil, so I'm hoping that people would see the end of the "ugly things are always evil" cliche. I don't see a reason why a forsaken couldn't be good... but I do like to remind people, that a kind goody-two-shoes forsaken character is a rare case, although it's not my business to judge how people can roleplay and how they cannot, when it doesn't go to godmoding or completely ignoring lore. But that goes same for other people. Those who say a forsaken can't have good emotions because MOST don't. It's not within the life where the goodness is, but within the mind. Besides, never have I seen an official statement by the creators of the lore that said. "All undead are full badguys because they are zombies, live with it. Not that it would make sense anyway. I approach this matter as I do in real world. When I criticize immigrants, I say "the immigrants who think they're above the law and can't behave", because I judge individuals instead of groups. Since I know that nice immigrants do exist. With that logic I think that random cases of "good" forsaken exist within Warcraft.
