Kherim, the Paladin of Dlul

This comic character profile introduces Kherim Dawnblood, a chronically sleepy blood elf paladin devoted to Dlul, Lord of Sleep and Boredom. His self-warming ‘gambijama,’ questionable training, and quest for a mystical pillow define an adventurer built around naps rather than heroics.

((Since I'm waaaay too lazy to create a second account for my pally... all the odd information one might need and -particularly do without- is here. Naturally, this is not a particularly serious character, and the point is to be ridiculous))

Full Name: Kherim Dawnblood

Physical Description:
Kherim is a fairly tall elf, with pale skin and crisom hair, as well as a dagger-shaped goatee. One particular feature is that he constantly has bags under his eyes, whic is somewhat unusual since he spends most of his time yawning, sleeping or in between naps.

His armor is underlaid with a "gambijama" of his own creation. The gambijama (contraction of "gambison" and "pyjama" ) is a cloth one-piece gambison, with long sleeves and integrated pants, which serves as a blanket inside the armor itself, thanks to a special enchanted self-heating thread. As such, in the absence of a mattress, the paladin can have a good sleep wherever he may be.

Background:
Kherim, the youngest son of a Silvermoon clerk, wanted to carry on the family profession, but his parents had decided otherwise. They preferred to allow his brother, an elf of a far less honest disposition, succeed them, and instead offered to fund Kherim in sending him off "on an adventure".

Following the advice of a friend who said: "To get ahead in life, you can do anything as long as you're the warrior type," Kherim set himself to become a paladin, after careful consulting of a brochure lying around his his father's waiting room. He found his calling on the page (opposite the mithril bikini-clad priestesses of the Church of Holy Light) that presented the ideals of Dlul, Lord of Sleep and Boredom.

After six years of study at the Cathedral of Light with the Silver Hand (most of which was spent snoozing in front of the long-legged priestess that was instructing him) he went on a quest to find the Mystical Pillow of Zuggira, after been kindly asked by a young novice with very lovely eyes.

Ever since finding the relic on sale at a shop in Undercity a good three years ago, he has been traveling Azeroth to amass the necessary sums for purchase. He has since fallen in love -in chronological order- with a naga (who shunned him because he didn't know how to swim) Dindomiel (a Night Elf, who he ran from when he learned she was over 1500 years old, even if well-preserved) as well as several charming peasant girls.
