the man -- 

Though this man is tall, with broad shoulders and a strong, agile build, he looks just slightly underweight -- but whether that's a recent development or not, he never says.

His skin, once rather fair, has since become a dusky sort of tan -- weathered, and in some places, even freckled from far too much exposure to the sun. He has sharp features: intense green eyes (often set in a subtle glare), thin lips (but a wide smile when he -does- use it), a long, straight nose, and a strong jawline. Though handsome, the imposing way he carries himself likely offsets most of his appeal. Recently, his dark brown hair has become somewhat shaggy and unkept the longer it grows out from it's once very neat (and styled) state. He looks like he's gone a few days without shaving, too.
 
While he does clean up well, his casual attire usually consists of sturdy and very worn clothing. His work boots are caked with old mud, his fitted leather pants discolored at the knees, and his shirt, vest, and military style jacket tends to be a bit thread bare. However, the thick leather belt that hangs crookedly off of his narrow hips is in pristine condition, and carries a few weapons and the occasional tinkering tool. 
 
A box of cigarettes is never far from his person.

the history --
 
Alurien Black was born in the heart of the Northgate Woods to a poor couple living in a shabby cottage. Being the eldest of the five children (a total of four boys and one younger sister), he was ready to go into the workforce to help support his family, but those plans never came to pass when work on the Greymane Wall started. Idle talk of dissent turned into full blown calls for revolution, and Alurien found himself leaving his entire family behind to answer the call to arms. It was with the Northgate Rebels that he received his first formal education and very rigorous training with emphasis on guerrilla warfare. 
 
Unfortunately, the rebellion fell apart and Alurien was one of many who found himself locked up for several years. He was only freed when the feral worgen attacked the city, and the men and women defending it found themselves in need of all the prisoners' help. Like most that stayed behind, he was attacked by one of the creatures and succumbed to the curse.
 
Since then, he's dedicated most of his time to fighting the Forsaken as a marksman and soldier in the Gilneas Liberation Front. A few behavioral problems have kept him from climbing the ranks of the militia, though -- and recently he's found himself on "leave" in Stormwind City. Trying to make the best out of it, Alurien's continued his education in hopes that he'll be able to do something with it -- but for now, he merely wishes to get back to Gilneas and back to the war. And though he's always been careful with how he spends his money, not having a steady income from the Liberation Front has left him making several sacrifices and taking a few temporary, albeit odd, jobs.
