Kevas app 4/4 pimp_hat December 30 2010, 20:31:13 UTC
He calmly strode towards his blinded opponent. The muscles in his legs tightened as he swung his leg upwards, driving it into the tauren’s groin. A moan echoed throughout the bar as men looked on in horror. A quiet squeak escaped the tauren’s lips. He fell to his knees clutching his now shattered jewels. Spinning the sword in his hand, Kevas slammed its hilt down on the tauren’s head, knocking him out cold. He collapsed onto the floor, twitching slightly. Kevas placed his foot onto the defeated drunk’s back and roared triumphantly.

“You know you’re gonna pay for these damages,” the goblin innkeeper said, ruining Kevas’ moment of glory.

Kevas gazed around the bar. Chairs had been broken. Mugs had been shattered. There was a large hole in the floor where the tauren had slammed his hammer down on it.

“Um...well...uh...WHAT DA HELL IS DAT!?” Kevas’ face was suddenly filled with horror and pointed over the goblin’s head. The innkeeper spun around and saw...his confused bartender. When he turned back around he found that Kevas had vanished.

Kevas watched, while hidden behind several crates, the innkeeper charge out of the bar shouting things that would make a pirate’s mother cry. Bruisers rushed to calm the irate goblin down while others began searching for Kevas.

Looks like I won’t be commin’ back here fuh awhile, Kevas thought as he crept towards the exit.

First person sample: Mon, I tell joo, I had a hell of a week. It started at Ratchet. Da bartendah had dis new drink he wanted me ta try. Called it a ‘Mind Erasah’ I t'ink. Anyway, so I drink dis t'ing and it wasn’t dat bad actually. Den, all of da sudden everyt'ing goes black.

When I come to I don’t know where da hell I am! All I know is dat I be in dis bed wid dis smokin’ hot orc. Dough I ain’t complainin’ mon. Bettah den when I woke up wid dat gnome girl in my bed. So I’m layin’ dere, lookin’ dis girl up an’ down, when dis uddah orc busts in. He started screamin’ and hollahin’. Not sure what about cause I grabbed my stuff and got da hell outta dere mon. Jumped out da window. Dat’s when I black out again.

Da next time I come to, I hear all dis shoutin’ and chantin’ and stuff. Den I notice dat it’s coldah den Onyxia’s tit. I was in da middle of Wintahspring mon! Dere were all dese uddah guys dere too and across from us was dis big ass group of Alliance. Den someone shouts “Charge!” and we all start runnin’ at each uddah. Den it all goes black again.

I wake back up, and I’m back at Ratchet mon. I’m covered in cuts and bruises and I smell like I haven't showuh'd in weeks. Da bartendah is standin’ ovah me smilin’ and says “How joo like dat one?”

Mon, I look him straight in da eyes and say “Could be strongah.”

Kevas first met Lith, a troll shaman and his future wife, during one of his assassinations. They were both after the same target, a blood elf who knew too much for his own good. Lith was ordered to question. Kevas was ordered to silence him. Each of them fought their way through the elf's hired guards before they ran into each other. Kevas tried to bribe her but Lith was a fiercely loyal member of the Horde and refused. She instead offered that they would duel for the elf's fate. Eager to complete his mission and confident in his abilities Kevas accepted...and quickly found himself laying face first in the dirt afterwords. Lith had beat him, and quite easily too. It was then that the female troll sparked an interest in Kevas. After some brutal questioning Lith left the elf in the hands of Kevas, who quickly disposed of him. When he sent his report into Ravenholdt, Kevas found himself leaving out this new female troll.

For a time after that Kevas followed Lith from the shadows. He could not for the life him understand this sudden interest in her but he told himself it was only because she beat him so easily and that he just couldn't let that stand. After stalking Lith for almost a week, she finally called him out and offered him a spot in her camp. Kevas was stunned but accepted her offer. He asked how she knew he was there and all she told him was that the spirits told her. He couldn't tell if she was joking or not. Sitting by the fire next to her they began to talk. It was nothing more than chit-chat really but for the first time in years Kevas was having a conversation with someone without an ulterior motive...and he liked it. The more they talked the more Kevas wanted to keep talking. Underneath that brutal warrior he first met he found a true woman.

After that Kevas continued traveling with Lith and the closer they grew until finally a love blossomed between them. Whenever Ravenholdt gave him a mission to complete Kevas could always manage to coax her to head in the direction he needed to go. He would always tell her that he needed to deliver a package or find some rare herb or something of that like. Lying to her killed him, but it kept him close to her and that was what he wanted. Soon enough Kevas' reports to Ravenholdt would come later and later until finally Gunry had had enough. Late one night Gunry met with Kevas personally, telling him that Kevas was either with them or with Lith and to prove his loyalty he must kill the woman he loved.

The decision tore at him but eventually Kevas choose to prove his loyalty to his master. In the middle of the night, Kevas crept into their tent, drew his blade, and murdered his love. Unfortunately it was not a quick death for Lith. Kevas hands had been shaking and his just missed her heart. In her last moments Lith stared into Kevas' eyes in confusion and horror and shortly after that something broke within Kevas. He fled from Ravenholdt, his father, and his past wanting nothing do to with any of them any longer.

When Kevas met Monoxide he was no longer in his right mind. While he did not actively seek death, Kevas was far more careless than he normally was. Monoxide first found Kevas battling a large group of centaur. He was outnumbered and slowly being overwhelmed. When it looked like they were just about to kill him, Monoxide sprung in to help. He did little more than serve as a distraction but it was all Kevas needed to get the upper hand. When the battle was over Kevas tried to run Monoxide off but the younger troll refused to listen. Eventually Kevas collapsed from his wounds and was forced to accept Monoxide's help.

Little by little Monoxide managed to get Kevas to talk, and while they spoke little of their past, Kevas found that Monoxide knew next to nothing about how to survive in the wilds of Azeroth. In return for saving his life Kevas offered to teach Monoxide how to survive and Monoxide eagerly accepted. Kevas told the younger troll that once he was sure Monoxide could take care of himself he would leave. After four years Kevas still remained with Monoxide. Whether Monoxide was really just that inept or if he was just desperate for company Kevas wasn't sure, but in that time Monoxide managed to worm his way into Kevas' heart. They were like brothers and the more time Kevas spent with Monoxide, the happier he felt himself become.

And more personality: Kevas is generally a laid-back and easy going fellow. If someone spits in his face, Kevas will shrug it off. If someone insults him, Kevas will merely jab back playfully. If someone picks a fight with him, Kevas will try to worm out of it (unless of course Kevas wanted that person dead in the first place). However there are somethings that easily set him off. If someone wastes liquor, especially his liquor Kevas will go on the attack. If someone touches his hat without permission Kevas will break their hand. If someone attacks or hurts a woman Kevas will immediately jump to her aid (something that's gotten him into trouble multiple times). Lastly, if someone hurts his family or someone he loves, Kevas will go to extraordinary lengths to see that person suffer.

Despite living in a world inhabited by gods and spirits, Kevas is extremely secular. It's not that he doesn't believe in their existence, in fact he's met more than one, but he refuses to believe in them and actually out right despises them. It all comes back to Lith. While he knows she died because of him he blames them for not stepping in and doing anything. He's come to believe that spirits and gods do nothing but toy with the lives of mortals for their own fun and personal gain and thinks that everyone would be better off without them.
