Ruffio

Once an Elf, this forsaken still has the long ears, the upright posture and down the nose look when it suits him. He was a Warlock in life as he is in death. His other main profession is being a doctor of sorts. He walks straight and tall like the rest of his once-race but there is an odd saunter in his steps.
He is a well mannered forsaken… most of the time if not a little cold in responses.
==Appearence==
===Face===
A pale grey in colour, Ruffiio's veins show up all over his face. His grey, lank hair hangs around his face in a tangled mess. He has no eyes, just two large gaping sockets, but does give the impression of emotion (like blinking in surprise). The skin around his jaw is paper thin, so you can see his nicely filed teeth beneath. His long ears stick out from his hair, also veiny.
===Body===
Ruffiio is tall and slender built, his veins again show up all over his body. He is a pale grey in colour. His shoulder blades stick out of the flesh on his back, they are sharp but more of a hindrance to Ruffio then a help. The flesh on his fingers has long rotted away leaving claws; they are white in appearance and are kept clean. The bones sticking out of his arms and legs still have flesh and sinew attached to them, probably what is keeping his joints together. If you ever seen the flesh of his leg, it is ripped, the rip travels down to his foot and stops just above his stomach. His lower abdomen is an unsightly rip. His lower organs have been removed. Ruffio does all he can to hide this mess especially.
===Clothing & Trinkets===
He'll wear anything cloth, but he prefers a robe and hood to a tunic and hat. Whatever head wear he is wearing will still have his ears poking out of the sides. His clothes are worn and generally been fixed poorly if at all. Although his clothes have suffered wear and tear they are always clean. Ruffiio wears a quiver on his back where he keeps his arrows. Along with his current melee weapon (prefers a staff to any other) he carries a crossbow.
===Mounts & Vanity Pets===
Ruffiio runs around on either;- A brain damaged Dreasteed called "Pristige"- A purple Hawkstrider called "Tamias"- A venomhide Raptor called "Celest"When he can fly on the other hand, he has a magic rug.
Ruffiio also has a variety of vanity pets that follow him.
===Crossbow===
Ruffiio is not like a typical Warlock as he uses a crossbow over a want. By focussing his energy into the arrow he can make it become a "void arrow" which typically does shadow damage. The crossbow is a blackened thing, with the wing bones of a bird for the croos piece and black, laquered wood for the stock. Ruffiio takes extreme care of this crossbow.
===Droolum===
Ruffiio's first demon that he summoned, the faithful felhound. Droolum is loyal to his master and comes to his aid without a moments hesitation. Ruffiio treats Droolum on a whole different level to how he treats others, and trusts the hound completely.
==Background==
===Siblings===
Ruffiio is the second eldest of the Crowley family, his siblings are(in age order); Dumah, Vandel, Mika, Tamias (yes he DID name his Hawkstrider after a brother) & Deneve.
===Childhood & Teenage years===
Ruffiio spent a good chunk of his childhood in search of knowledge, mainly about his people and their mana addiction. He grew up fast and was already reasoning like an adult by the age of twelve. Ruffiio's only other obsession was learning how to use a crossbow, which he practiced daily. His siblings grew up around him but they went on to be idealistic before settling into their chosen roles in life. This attitude infuriated Ruffiio so he stayed in his spell books. He soon became fluant in reading the many languages of Azeroth, and it was from one of these languages that he summoned his first demon, the felhound Droolum.
===Adulthood===
When he could, Ruffiio moved away from his fellow elves to carry on his research into demonology in private. He became known as "The Fel Elf" as his eyes had gone fel green (this was long before the Arthas attacked the Sunwell). He fed his addiction off of Droolum who let him. He learnt to summon other demons, including the Voidwalker Zhar'gorg, the the Succubus Bronanda, and the imp Azpit, but his main demon was still his faithful hound from fel.
===Becoming Scourge===
Ruffiio was killed off and became a scourge Warlock, in a very anticlimatic way too. His nephew Setta had found him and been hanging around his retreat and had managed to convince the warlock to go for a walk. Well he did and they got killed by scourge. This same insident is what gave Ruffiio the unique scar on his lower half and the odd sauntered walk. In the ranks of the scourge Ruffiio caused a lot of trouble for the living until Sylvanas broke away, taking some other forsaken with her. Ruffiio is greatful that she did that, although he does view her as rather incompetent.
===Aftermath===
Ruffiio went back to Silvermoon to find out that all the elves had started at some point used demons to quell their hunger, this filled Ruffiio with some form of glee as the once proud people that looked down on him have had to drop to his level to survive. He went on to travel after that.
===Outland===
Ruffiio is currently in Outland, "helping" the cause out there.

"Traitor aye? You sure he's not one of them Vampanze you were rabbling about?" ~While over hearing a conversation between elves being "vampires"
"I really hate cliche sayings... you could say I avoid them... heheh, I bet you thought I was going to say 'like the plague' right? Sore point there, it already got me, anyway I digress... if there's one cliche saying that I can't avoid it's 'if you want it done right, you do it yourself'..." ~Telling it like it is.
"I think it's okay, then again, how would I know? I have no taste buds and I have a stomach plated like a blood knight... oops... my bad, I don't have a stomach... anyway, if you die from eating that... all I can do is apologise when you join me this side of the living..." ~On a chocolate cake he made.

"Droolum... be nice..." ~At Droolum showing his contempt.
"Oh for..." He covers his face with his palm, "another Death Knight with a quest for vengence... you know... your kind amuse me greatly... do you ever think past 'killing the Lich King'?

Well, let me put it like this... when you are the only person left on this world... what will you do with yourself then?" ~ Death Knights and other forsaken amuse Ruffiio greatly.
"What will I do? Go back to my experiments... oh wait... am doing them already" ~An answer to a retort to the previous mocking question
==Trivia==
* I took the name "Ruffio" from the character from the game "Dark Chronicle" I keep getting asked whether it's from "Oblivion" or - more commonly - "Hook" but no, was inspired from the rabit creature in Dark Chronicle.
* Crowley was taken from Alliester Crowley.
* Ruffiio sort of "became" an undead elf rather then "was created to be" an undead elf due to most of his relatives being created as blood elves.
* One of Ruffiio's joke titles is "Boofeh the Darkfallen Slayer"
* Ruffiio never has had an interest in relationships or in procreating.
* Although not patient with students, Ruffiio is a good teacher.
* Ruffiio more then likely gets along with Droolum the most out of all his demons because they are both mana addicts.
* He doesn't give a flying monkey about Arthas or taking revenge... what's the point? What does one do once they've taken their revenge?
* Although he claims to work for the Dark Lady, anybody that knows him knows that's just a ruse.
* He hates Darkfallen. No-- he really hates them and mows down any that get in his way.
* He's probably on the ignore list of most the players in the "Vampire Lords" guild. No, I do not harass the guild, more sort of "invade" when they're having a guild meeting and remind them that they're NOT vampires but Darkfallen of which Ruffio decides he must kill - or kick out of Undercity/Silvermoon.
