Ickariss

Ickariss is a Deathguard, but performs Quartermaster duties for the Undercity Nexus.

Appearance
Well-suited for the nickname "Bones", Ickariss is a rot-free skeleton. Every bone is well-cared for, polished and whitened- and any cracks received have been filled and equally tended to. Other than a rusted iron jaw replacing an actual manible, and a wire hinge to what may be a cranium capable of opening, his skeleton is fully intact. Unless, of course, you count one missing tooth from his upper jaw- on his left side.

Ickariss even has two eyes- just ghostlights at this point. Upon closer inspection, Ickariss' right eye is actually a very convincing fake- it doesn't glow, but instead reflects light through a soft yellow glass. The falsity is easily detectable in dim to dark lighting, at which point it'd be able to reflect less and less light.

Icky has been seen in three sets of armor, each greatly differing from the last. His Deathguard attire is the commonplace blue-gray-mauve of the standard Forsaken unit, and he wears with it an Undercity tabard. He bears a ceremonial set of armor which emulates a Dreadguard's attire, and is a bloody red in color. Lastly, he, at times, wears what he calls a trophy raiment- grays and yellows compose this set, and while it seems makeshift, it certainly was put together to inspire intimidation from the Alliance.. or at least, Gilnean adversaries, considering there are two large Worgen skulls that sit as pauldrons.

Ickariss, being skilled in shooting people, has skills with ranged weapons. He owns a long rifle, crossbow, and also a bow- but only ever uses the gun or crossbow for battle.

His crossbow is old, but well-cared for- it's really nothing special, and might have been obtained while looting corpses during some mercenary mission or whatnot. It's his rifle that seems to carry more importance to Ickariss- it's polished, well-kept, and has a name- BETSY- etched into the barrel.

Personality
Like most Forsaken, Ickariss has obtained an apathetic nature and has fallen into a solemn depression- but that's not him in his entirety, despite it being a default. He's much more manic than most, and sometimes varies wildly between negative emotions or chaotic tendancies, sometimes at a moment's notice- depending on the situation, that is. He has a tendancy to over-react, sometimes to either hilarious or pathetic points.

He's known for his apparent cowardice and high-pitched girlish scream, but don't be fooled. The man is far from a true craven, as no matter what he seems to be spooked by, he acts out against his fears rather than run from them. That is, of course, given that retreating wouldn't be tactical preference- at which point he'd damn well do it.

Another thing to look out for is his attitude and sass- the guy can be a downright ass if he feels like it. He gives friend and foe alike ridiculous and often-insulting nicknames, such as 'brittlebones' and 'maggotface'. This meanness can often be triggered by going against his beliefs- such as insulting a companion, or badmouthing his loyalties.

History
Icarus Drostone lived an incredibly normal life, for the most part. He was a troubled child from Stratholme that ended up being sent to train as a soldier, and lived his life as a guard in Andorhal. He got married, had a little girl, and all things seemed fine. One day, however, he seemed to snap- he killed his wife and best friend, and consequently was executed, hanged for his atrocities.

Later, he was risen by a necromancer of the Cult of the Damned from the Andorhal graveyard, and until the Lich King was slain in Icecrown, was in service to the Scourge. In the early years of his servitude he was naught but a laboring slave, but in the later years of this time, he acted as a spy within Forsaken territory.

After Arthas' fall, however, Ickariss drew away, and became little more than a hermit. He fished for coin, and sometimes shot people for gold. He didn't make any commitments to any factions and swore to no cause.

This changed when he met a Deathstalker by chance, who spoke to him of a community within the Forsaken, an organization of those wishing to protect Lordaeron. And though he hesitated in joining, to this day he has served them without further pause- and has since taken the responsibility of being their Quartermaster.

Ickariss is loyal only to the Forsaken, and is deeply devoted to the Undercity Nexus.
