Rona'zae, the Shadow Hunter

Unread post by Rona'zae »

Full Name: Rona'zae
Titles or Nicknames: Rona is what she most commonly goes by.
Age: She is always vague about this, though it can be safe to assume she is on the younger side for a Troll.
Race: Darkspear Troll
Gender: Female
Hair: Bright blue in a mohawk, with a few tied strands of hair that fall down the front of her shoulders.
Eyes: Blazing orange
Height: Average, for a troll.
Weight: Slightly heavy with muscle, but her exact weight is a mystery that she refuses to discuss.
Notable Physical Features: Aside from a few, somewhat unremarkable scars on her exposed skin, Rona'zae has no physical features that really stand out.

Place of residence: She has a home in Orgrimmar, but rarely visits it. She prefers to rough it in the wilds.
Place of Birth: Sen'jin Village
Known Relatives: None that she chooses to discuss.

Religion/Philosophy:
The Mandate, and a personal philosophy that, when out in the wild, one must do whatever is necessary to survive. This has made her into an incredibly savage and cold individual when she is alone and on a hunt.

Occupation: Shadow Hunter
Guild Rank: Supplicant
Known Associates:
Various members of The Grim, including Khorshah, who had assigned her various tasks as a Supplicant, and Qabian, who initially recruited her. She has also been seen associating with Caldwenst, Sunderpalm, and Laennyaduring guild gatherings. She also has been seen interacting with a few members outside of the organization on a regular basis.
Nevzit Sparkplug - a Goblin inventor and author, who often assists her with writing reports through various means. Nevzit was also the creator of some of her hunting gear, including her Wildfire Grenades and the "Drag-o-Matic 8000", which Rona'zae refuses to use as a name for her Harpoon Chain.
Rolgash Steelfang - a Mag'har Orc, one of the earliest travelers from the world of Draenor, who Rona'zae has been seen talking to and giving advice to in regards to knowledge of Azeroth.
Nisadrin Taliv - A Nightborne scholar, Mage, and researcher. Though Rona'zae has only been seen with her one or two times, she often provides information to the Shadow Hunter in regards to anything relating to the arcane or the Dragonflights, the focus of her studies.

Known Nemesis:
Rival hunters in the Alliance, primarily Night Elves. She often goes out of her way to hunt down the Kal'dorei, sometimes camping in the wilds for days at a time to get the drop on particular targets.

Special Skills:
Despite her use of the title of "Shadow Hunter", Rona'zae only uses this in the loosest of terms. She has no magical talent, and is purely a tracker and survivalist by trade. Her manner of hunting is more akin to that of a Rogue than anything, sticking close to the shadows and skulking about to get the drop on her prey. That being said, she is good at what she does, and is an exceptional tracker and stalker, and will often dedicate much of her time to hunting down particular targets in the most dangerous of areas, all the while remaining hidden.

Hunting Companions:
Kul, the Great Stag
Vetazek, the Magma Spider
Kalzek, the Direbat
Ssathzek, the Cloud Serpent
Reaver, the Wolfhawk

Positive Personality Traits: Witty, Clever, Dedicated, Unrelenting, Perceptive
Negative Personality Traits: Competitive, Boisterous, Joker, Paranoid, can sometimes be savage and cold when hunting.

History Before The Grim:
While Rona'zae does not like to discuss her past very much, she has shared a few key details of her life before she joined the organization. She started much of her adventuring life during the most recent war against The Burning Legion, and not by choice. With their rampant attacks against Azeroth, and her solitary life of hunting constantly being interrupted by noisy, rampaging demons, she began to change her targets of interest to high ranking members of the invading force. It was an invigorating change, and she dedicated the entirety of her skills to eliminating as many of the monstrosities as she could, more as a personal challenge to herself than anything. The thrill of the hunt overtook her completely, and she began perfecting her tracking, stalking, and combat techniques against a wide array of opponents, including those of the Alliance, whenever she had an opportunity to attack them.

After the Legion's fall, Rona'zae simply could not return to her old lifestyle of hunting mundane prey. She needed more dangerous targets, and with the supply of demons to slay now limited, she decided to refocus her efforts on hunting the most abundant prey she knew of; the Alliance. She dedicated her energy in perfecting her techniques against each race that made up the Alliance, and had begun calling herself the title of Shadow Hunter around this time, inspired by her preference to stick to the darkness and shadows to get the drop on her unsuspecting victims.

As time went on, though, the troll was beginning to feel the lull in challenge again. Yes, the Alliance were varied, and each individual was an entirely different hunt, but she wanted something more. And then, while stalking a group of Night Elves in the cursed forests of Drustvar, she was suddenly struck by inspiration. She knew what she was missing. She needed hunting companions.

Thus, she sought out a group that she had only heard rumors about in the taverns of Orgrimmar and Zuldazar. An organization who was completely dedicated to their task of hunting down and wiping out the Alliance. She became a Supplicant of The Grim.

History In The Grim:
It didn't take long for the troll to acclimate to the environment of The Grim. She appreciated having hunting companions with a wide array of skills, and learning from each of the members on their own preferences of combat had improved her own techniques, as well. She began to come out of her reclusive shell more, and was returning to being a sociable, if somewhat paranoid, person. The huntress accompanied The Grim on a variety of expeditions, from dungeon delving to raids on Alliance strongholds. But she did not expect the group to lead her to some of the most exciting hunts she had ever been a part of; the Titan research facility, known as Uldir.

Such a variety of wonderful prey there! And challenging, as well! Rona'zae relished in the delight of exploring the facility with the group, and through them, she felt that she was growing as a predator, as well. It was at this point that the Shadow Hunter had made her decision to completely accept the ways of The Grim, and began dedicating herself wholly and completely to The Mandate. Under the tutelage of the High Inquisitor Qabian, and The Cold Hand, Inquisitor Khorshah, Rona'zae completed the necessary trials that were asked of her to become a fully fledged Warbringer of The Grim. Now, with her final judgement on the horizon, the Shadow Hunter eagerly awaits to see where this new road will take her, and what new prey she will be able to hunt along it.
