Gender: Male
Hair: Brown, slightly discolored at the roots
Skin: None, except for his scalp, which is charred and blackened at the edges
Eyes: No eyes, but, from his empty eye sockets, two points of light, as if emitted from a fire, act in replacement
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 70 lbs, due to the lack of flesh.
Place of residence: None.
Place of Birth: Arathor
Known Relatives: Brother, Shavyn; Ex-wife, Visena; Brother-in-law, Tirdisar; Son, Diandroei; Mother, deceased
Religion/Philosophy: Fervent follower of the Bronze Dragonflight
Occupation: None
Group/Guild affiliation:
Guild Rank:
Enemies: No definite enemies
Likes: Playing the flute (a hidden talent of his), being in combat, learning the myths and legends of other cultures
Favorite Foods: He no longer eats, so none.
Favorite Drinks: Arathorian wine
Favorite Colors: Red
Weapons of Choice: Any at his disposal. He carries a sword, a spear, a dagger, a mace, and a crossbow with him at all times.
Dislikes: Liars, fanatics, cannibalization, being called a Forsaken.
Hobbies: Blacksmithing, playing the flute, riding his horse.
Physical Features: Fallacy has no flesh, except for at his scalp and his hair. His armor, however, prevents that from being noticeable. His eyes are also gone, and are replaced by a fiery light that emits from his eye sockets and his open mouth. His jaw does not move when he talks, but hangs open to exert a rasping, harsh, but calm voice.
Special Abilities: His right hand is encased in Elementium, which is capable of absorbing magical effects. Depending on the spell's strength, however, it exhausts him greatly. After a excursion into Zul'Gurub and defeating High Priest Thekal, his hand was blessed by Shirvallah, allowing him to sprout two blades from it. When they emerge, the area the blades come out of look as if it is liquid, but remains as solid as the rest. Recently, he has developed the ability so his whole hand can change shape. He also has great prowess with a weapon, no matter the type. A creature he has dubbed a rift dragon, named Danakh, accompanies him, although the reason why isn't quite certain, but he does enjoy eating the "treats" his master gives him.
Positive Personality Traits: Confident and empathetic.
Negative Personality Traits: Defensive and quick to anger.
Misc. Quirks: Even if he is losing a battle, he will often laugh right in the face of his enemy, not regretful of any outcome.
Played by What Famous Person: I'll update this, later.

History: Fallacy was born as Herenth Absalom, member of a family of farmers that lived in the Arathi Highlands. His father died during the Second War, and he and his brother were seperated from their mother in refuge from the wartorn Arathor. Shavyn, his brother, disappeared not long after they were rejoined, desperate to get away from the horrible situation his family had been placed in. To supplement their income, Herenth began working at the newly formed Menethil Harbor as a fisherman, while his mother worked as a maid for a local noble. Over time, he was able to establish himself as the captain of his own ship, working trade routes between Kul Tiras and Lordaeron.
It was on one of his voyages to Quel'Thelas that he met his wife-to-be, Visena Hawkbrand. After they were married, Visena moved to Menethil Harbor, while Herenth continued sailing. However, because of her fear of losing him, which was only reinforced by his constant time away from their home, she ended up murdering him, in some crazed attempt to hold to that point in the marriage for all eternity. She tossed his corpse into a dingy, and lit it on fire, and threw herself into the ocean.
Herenth, however, couldn't understand why she would do this to him. His confusion turned to anger, to rage. His spirit was restless, and, just as he was consumed by fire, he absorbed some of that elemental power, and came back to life. The dingy had somewhat survived, and the currents of the northern sea carried him to Northrend. He landed on a glacier, and wandered about as a crazed, burning power, until he was discovered by a Nerubian scouting party. They originally thought him to be one of the Scourge, but he did not hold any hostility towards them. So, they subdued him, and carried him to the depths of Azjol'Nerub. They found him calmed and receptive, so they began teaching him the Nerubian language (He did little more than spout incoherent words at this point), and guerilla warfar to aid them against the Scourge. He led a very secluded life, only thinking to help his newfound bretheren and fighting.
It wasn't long before he discovered, in the years since he had been in Northrend, the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron, and it flooded his mind with memories of what he had once been. He was set on returning to his homeland, to help liberate the area. He was met differently than he expected. He was hunted by his former fellow citizens, thought to be no more than a servant of the Forsaken or the Scourge. He found to dislike both sides of the conflict, thinking the Forsaken lost to the mindset of vengeance, and cast out by the humans for what he had become. He felt once again that anger that caused him to be reborn, and travelled around Azeroth, killing as he pleased.
His own actions bothered him, but he found no way to work around the hatred held between both factions. He did find himself some place among the Horde, seeing as they were much more accepting of his status, but he still felt out of place. It was then that he was contacted in his dreams by some unknown force, beckoning him to Tanaris. There, he found himself in the Caverns of Time, in the presence of the Aspect of the Bronze, Nozdormu. He discovered a peace he had never felt before, a confidence in the future of all races, and it was his destiny to work for it. Thus, he became a Watcher of the Bronze Dragonflight, and continues working in that position to this current day.
Recently, he has had encounters with his brother-in-law, Tirdisar, who seeks to kill him for the very event that led to his death. Through his searchings for the reasons behind the attacks, Fallacy has found that Visena survived, but suffers from sickness and amnesia, and has no recollection of him. He also discovered he has a son that was concieved before his death, but has only gotten a brief look at him.
After travelling through the Caverns, Fallacy came across a creature unknown to him in any time or place he knew. He thought it to be part of the Infinite Dragonflight at first, but it's simple demeanor and look showed it was a different species completely. He took it in as his own, naming it Danakh. The rift dragon, as he calls it, can change to various forms, from a small lizard, to a horse-sized wingless dragon, to a giant, winged form, and even a humanoid disguise.
