{ PERSONALITY }

A king is only as noble as the cause that he serves

Anduin Wrynn was a priest before he was a king, and those values still hold strong.

He forgives easily, feels pain deeply, and strives always to help those around him. He strives, particularly, for peace.

Yet in a world constantly ravaged by war, these ideals are not always easy to uphold. Anduin carries burdens heavy for someone as young as he is. He feels the weight of pressure on his every decision, and those who are meant to support him are often not always brilliant at their job. Anduin is privileged, stubborn, but emotionally fragile.

Even when he's falling apart, Anduin Wrynn holds on aggressively to hope.

At his best, Anduin is a force for good who can lift others up and build bridges between people. At his worst, Anduin is stubborn enough to continue down the wrong path and let himself crumble under the weight of everything he believes he must do himself.

The Light is with me, even here.

HEALING AND SHIELDING SPELLS:

Anduin has a variety of active healing spells -- fast ones like Flash Heal that are weaker, slower regular healing spells, and high cost spells that can be used less often, gradual heals and ranged multi-target healing spells with different styles and strengths.

All priests can also put a short shield spell on a target that absorbs a set amount of damage. Anduin can, additionally, use a special ability called Greater Holy Word: Sanctuary. It reduces damage taken for everyone by a huge 75% for a very short time, and allows everyone inside the shield to heal slowly until it fades.

DAMAGE SPELLS/CONTROL:

Priests have a few control spells -- a Psychic Scream that causes nearby enemies to flee and be disoriented, the ability to Mind Control a single around their power level or lower (so long as they aren't demonic, undead or mechanical, and I have out of character permission!), and the ability to Shackle an undead enemy. They can also use Holy Word: Chastise to deal a moderate amount of damage to a target and incapacitate them briefly. Equally, they can 'Mind Soothe' a target to reduce the range they're noticed at -- good for sneaking past things. If they're in danger, priests can also 'fade out', removing attention from themselves and again reducing the range enemies notice them at.

As a priest he can also use 'Penance' -- a multi-use spell that either heals or does damage, depending on your mood (and type of penance you are doing I guess...??)

In terms of pure damage they can inflict Holy Fire on a target to burn them over time, or 'smite' them with a spell. We know Anduin is capable of using shadow magic, but in general he avoids it and the one time he nearly calls it it's treated as surprising. Shadow spells tend to be damage dealing too just with spooky flavour. Anduin using it would indicate bad-end mode is coming (never say never I guess!).

OTHER:

Priests can buff friendly targets to have increased stamina for an hour. They can temporarily levitate themselves so they can fall more slowly or cross water, quickly pull a target to their side if they're in danger or out of range, see through a friendly target's eyes for a minute (when within range) and briefly infuse a friend with haste on occasion.

Specific to Anduin Only: as a young teen he had an object called the Divine Bell dropped on him. It nearly killed him, and ever since he has a peculiar sort of spidey-sense effect from the left-over chronic pain. We're not sure if it's directly something from the bell, or from the amount of divine healing it took to repair him, but Anduin suffers a jolt of pain when there is 'danger' nearby, or he is making a poor decision.

{ HISTORY }

It's not too late to end this war.

Anduin Llane Wrynn is a Priest of the Holy Light, King of Stormwind and High King of the Alliance. He's been pulled from the pre-expansion novel 'Shadows Rising'.

Raised a Prince in Stormwind city, Anduin's childhood was ruled by endless war and turmoil. His first brush with ruling was at ten years old, when his father went missing.

Unlike his father, Anduin felt a calling toward healing and peace rather than fighting. Yet when Varian Wrynn dies, Anduin inherits the crown and all its troubles. Peace is an uphill struggle.

{ NOTES }

Sometimes we must fight for what we believe in.

Anduin is currently played ~~from the pre-Shadowlands book 'Shadows Rising'~~ from The War Within! I've played him from plenty of other canon points, however!

I'm open to PSLs and threads outside of this game!
