Purpose for the character/NPC: To create events and RP in the more troubled areas of Northern Kalimdor, particularly Hyjal. Borlum will serve as a beacon for nature-friendly characters to help heal the world as well as a foe to more nefarious characters and NPCs.

Player: Zhaei
Character Full Name: Borlum
Character In-Game Name: Borlum
Associations: The Forces of Nature are his only true affiliations, but he is a friend to the Night Elves, the Cenarion Circle and the Guardians of Hyjal.
Race: Mountain Giant
Class: Warrior
Age: 78,453 years old, though he spent the majority of it slumbering.
Sex: Male
Hair: Growths of moss and vines hold together his great stone body.
Eyes: Nothing visible – just shadowy recesses in his head.
Weight: 12,114 lbs.
Height: 20'4''
Appearance: A lumbering colossus, Borlum is a huge churning mass of stone and moss. He has a vaguely humanoid shape, but if he sits still and closes his limbs to his body it would be easy to mistake him for a large boulder. Over the years, Borlum has shaped himself to the form that he likes the most. He has, if subconsciously, taken influence from those around him: his face loosely resembles that of an elf or man, and he has made himself fingers, thumbs and toes.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Personality: A slow, achingly patient individual whose wisdom befits his years, Borlum's personality is truly a projection of the stone from which he is made. His massively slowed down existence influences him strongly: he might spend a decade or two mulling over a riddle, or a few months deciding the most prudent route to take across the forest. Similarly, he is incredibly stubborn and dedicated – though not out of spite or rudeness, when he has decided the correct way of doing something, it will be done in that way or not at all.
Borlum is extrospective and curious – the world changes so much each time he wakes up that there is so much more to experience each time. Similarly, he is more friendly with the sentient races than most of his fellow giants, seeing them as opportunities to learn about the world. He has made a handful of friends amongst the night elves and Dream creatures over his time.
The mountain giants are a dying breed. Borlum is one of a rare species that has a unique wisdom and viewpoint – his counsel is valued greatly amongst the elves and Circle, and his presence in battle even more so. Similarly, Borlum often serves as a herald of the forest, bestowing tasks upon its potential servants and rewarding its successful ones. He takes this role very seriously, and keeps to his responsibilities above all else.
History: No one save their creators truly know how mountain giants are born, and Borlum is no different. Some say they wake from stone that truly wants to change, others that the Dream wills them alive when they are needed. When all life was young and the mountains flat, the mountain giants first rose from the unshaped stone. When not even the elves had been born, not even the Dragonflights had been charged, not even the Well had been dug, Borlum first rose from the unshaped stone. The infant colossus and his brethren began to rise the peaks, build the hills, and shape the valleys. Over the years they tirelessly moulded the world into its proper form, lovingly crafting homes for all life on this fledgeling world.
For aeons at a time, Borlum would slumber in the depths of a deep cavern, at the foot of a great tree, or at the bottom of a tranquil lake. The giants were as much protectors of the world as they were builders and architects of it; Borlum would be awoken to defend the sanctity of the land, rising from the ground to repel those who would threaten it. The land changed each time he was summoned, great alterations in the very essence of the ways of the world that intrigued him and worried him both.
Eventually, Borlum was no longer needed to create. The world was built, and it was his role to protect his creation: from epic battles for the world against the Burning Legion to repulsion of sinister groups from ancient relics and places of power, the giants fought those who would threaten the sanctity of the land. Now, once again, Borlum has awoken. Once considerin the Black Dragonflight kin, he now feels great sadness but greater necessity in the fight to destroy them.
Skills and Abilities: It is true indeed that the mountain giants are great warriors, and Borlum is no different. However, today's war is much different to what he is used to. Siege engines, eldritch magic, dark creations of his own size, all of these new things are difficult for Borlum to deal with and severely handicap his relevance in the battle; no longer does he wade into swathes of tiny, lesser foes.
As a mountain giant, Borlum also possesses the rather unique ability to actively shape stone. Be it a great hill over many years or a small boulder in the space of a few seconds, Borlum can shape the rock – including his own body – as he wishes. He also has the rare ability to speak Titan alongside Darnassian and Common. Unfortunately, the language is an archaic one and he rarely gets to speak it.
