Character Race: Keeper of the Grove (Night Elf Male OOC)

Character Name: Keeper Buhayos

Character Class: Druid

Display ID: 7618 (Keeper Taldros)

Duration: Persistent

Purpose: His primary purpose is to be a questgiver/ IC DM of sorts for The Call to Hyjal and related storylines. He was always focused on healing the land and life that dwells upon Kalimdor in the shadows of the woods, but it was not until the Shattering that he decided to become more proactive in mending the "broken world". Thus, he has decided to become more forward in involving himself directly with the people of Azeroth as they prepare themselves to face Neltharion--"Deathwing". In combat settings, he will be a healer and support and only that. In social and casual settings, RP will focus on him learning about other people as they are affected by the Cataclysm.

Location: Predominantly Kalimdor, especially Mount Hyjal. Other continents as well whenever possible, though Moonglade would officially be his home.

Scale: 1.1

Level: 85

==Appearance==

Buhayos looks like most other Keepers of the Grove in that he has the upper torso of a kaldorei and the lower of a stag. However, he has a generally softer, almost androgynous appearance. He is also longer than he is wide, with his sambar-like antlers possessing only a few branches. Leaves grow all over his fetlocks as well as his back.

'''Other:''' His name is pronounced "boo-HYE-os".

==Personality==

Buhayos is a contemplative and cautious individual, often slow in his decision making as he tends to overthink his options. This is due to his role as a protector of nature: he is fully aware of the consequences his actions may have on life around him. He considers himself a friend and ally to all living beings, his heart filled with kindness and altruism to the helpless and hurting. While he possesses little to no tolerance for those who wantonly destroy life, he is avoidant of resorting to violence except when absolutely necessary--and even then he tends not to enact such violence directly, usually resorting to having others (such as dryads and treants) do the fighting for him. Buhayos has, otherwise, never personally spilt any blood.

Buhayos also holds himself to an extremely high standard, though not (necessarily) due to vanity and pride; as a Son of Cenarius, he places himself as an example for mortal beings to follow, especially towards those who pursue the balance of nature. Unfortunately, Buhayos is as flawed an individual as any other--he has a tendency to oversee immediate needs in order to focus on the big picture, and at times his single-mindedness to that big picture would result in him being rather ironically imprudent and shortsighted. Due to this, he has a tendency to be a selective perfectionist--he ''has'' to be perfect, or at least strive to be, in order to be an efficient Keeper fo the Grove. For this reason, he often comes across as repressed, restrained, and overly serious.

When Deathwing returned to scorch Azeroth in flame, Buhayos decided to take a bigger initiatve in healing the seared land than just staying in the woods. As such, Buhayos is now directly involving himself with the affairs of the people of Azeroth (and beyond) as he attempts to break his past habits by taking more risks in order to reach his goals.


==History==

Buhayos was barely a buck when the War of the Ancients took place; at the time, he was still learning his place among other Sons of Cenarius. However, the call to battle was made as the Burning Legion arrived; with little choice, Buhayos joined his brothers and sisters to aid the Night Elves in defending Azeroth. However, the defenses against the Legion were dwindling, and as Buhayos struggled to defend the forests while the armies pushed forward, he would witness the betrayal of the Earth Warder and survived his rage by the skin of his teeth. Gravely wounded, Buhayos withdrew from the battles at the War raged on. The Keeper had hardly recovered when he felt the earth shake beneath his hooves--the land had split, and the world was broken by the collapse of the Well of Eternity.

By the time the world shattered, Buhayos kept a low profile and remained among his siblings while the dragons and night elves attempted to fix what they could. Fear overcame his soul as the years would pass, though the responsibility in tending to nature prevented him from becoming completely shut in. Buhayos then either meditated and walked within the Emerald Dream or travelled within the shadows of the waking woods, tending to any sort of minor imbalance of life he may come across; should danger come his way, especially regarding wars that continued to rage on, he would rush immediately to dryads and other Keepers rather than fight to save his own hide. Buhayos never made any real efforts in learning how to defend himself beyond calling upon the aid of dryads and treants to take down his pursuers.

Buhayos remained mostly out of sight from other beings besides his own folk until the Third War, when the Legion returned once more to destroy Azeroth. As the night elves defended Ashenvale, Buhayos once again remained in the sidelines to heal what segments of the forest was razed. By the time the forces of nature was summoned to defeat Archimonde, Buhayos was recovering from exhaustion in Moonglade as the World Tree fell.

By this point, the Keeper's spirit has been drained from the war. Buhayos settled in Moonglade for a time, primarily to guide young druids as well as to discuss matters with his fellow folk. Not long after the fall of the Lich King, however, Buhayos would find himself trapped in his own nightmares: the returning fires of Neltharion's rage and the Legion's malice scarred his soul and locked him into a slumber he could not escape. By the time the War against the Nightmare ended, Buhayos realized that he had let himself succumb to a very personal failure: a Son of Cenarius, locked in his own fears when he should have the spiritual strength to fight it off. After much contemplation spent in isolation far from all civilization, Buhayos came to a realization that he was letting his own personal weaknesses dictate his every move despite his many years and experiences. Even with the millennia passed, he still had the mindset of the young buck who cried in terror when the earth split beneath his hooves. He decided, right then and there, that if he was to be an efficient protector of nature and healer of the broken world, then he would have to mend his own broken spirit.

Buhayos couldn't put his goal into action yet--Neltharion, known as Deathwing to most of Azeroth--has returned. Fires scorched the planet once more, and the skies turned red with his rage. Buhayos was in Moonglade at the time when news arrived of the Black Dragon's return. Instead of running and hiding like he did before, the Keeper's first move was to rush over to Darkshore to examine the damage; his heart sank further and further as he would travel along the coast and see the world shattered once again. There was only so much healing only one Keeper of the Grove could do... or an army of them. Deciding that simply hiding and healing will not get much of any job done, Buhayos vowed to assist the survivors of Azeroth in healing the world while facing the one responsible for the cataclysm once and for all.

Perhaps, then, Buhayos would find the spiritual strength and enlightenment needed for him to fully realize his role in healing and protecting this broken world.


==Skills and Abilities==

Despite his large size, Buhayos is a frail being--a few strikes can debilitate him fairly easily. Most of Buhayos' skills lie in healing; for this reason, combat is never really an option for him. At the first sight of danger, he will, instead, grow entangling roots that can entrap his pursuers while he flees. If violence is inescapable, he will transform nearby trees to become treants who will fight for his behalf.

As mentioned previously, Buhayos' skills lie in healing. The potency of his magic is highly effecient, as he is capable of healing many people, plants, and animals all at once quickly and within a certain radius.
