History Characters / WildStarTheExiles

* GutturalGrowler: He speaks with a very gruff, grainy voice, a consequence of losing most of his original vocal chords, and having to put in a second-rate voice modulator in place.

* BlackSheep: Of the Exiles. They're generally regarded as creepy by their allies. Averted with the Aurin, whom are some of the top scientists of XAS along side them and are commonly seen making interspecies friendships with.

* {{Foil}}: To Mecharis. They have similar body types, are both the more intellectual race, closely associated with their respective intelligence services and both have "inhumane" parts, with Mordesh being both rotten and having cybernetic implants while Mecharis are more or less robots. They differ in that the Mecharis are a crucial part of the Dominion while the Mordesh are more aloof [[BlackSheep]]s amongst the Exiles

* OverprotectiveDad: Implied by other characters.
-->'''Alchemist Assistant''': Attend to this advice - do not look overlong upon Lazarin's daughter.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Durek wouldn't allow her to join his Destroyers-- until she single-handedly [[http://wildstar.gamepedia.com/Tales_from_Beyond_the_Fringe:_Kara_Takes_Command! masterminded his rescue]] during a mission that went wrong. She went from just Kara to Sergeant Kara in one day.

* AmazonianBeauty: Female Granok. While they're a lot less bulky than the males, they are still solidly muscled.

* HotScientist: Ridiculously so. Tight shirt, short shorts, luxurious blonde hair, and a fantastic, fit figure maintained by constant activity in the field.

* HotScientist: Wears an incredibly impractical outfit consisting of a tight corset, long jacket and high heels.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: When you do a lot of running in a variety of environments, mobility is more key than coverage.

* BadassBeard: Good lord. There is ''very'' good reason that the most common epithet is "Brightland's Beard!"

* NotSoDifferent: to the ICI, their rival espionage organization in the Dominion.

But Durek was summoned before the Elders of Gnox, where it was determined he had violated the creed set down by the Way. Him and all his followers were [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished banished from Gnox,]] without reconsideration, and Durek was branded the Stonebreaker from then on. Him and his followers made some left-behind Dominion ships spaceworthy and took to the stars as mercenaries for hire, eventually siding with the Exile Humans some time later. They work now as a paid army for the Exiles as a whole, though some fringe groups prefer not to associate with the majority.

* PlanetOfHats: Most, if not every Granok, is a beer-swilling bombastic bodacious boulder-cracker. Back home, most if not every Granok is a beer-swilling bombastic bodacious boulder-cracker-- who also follows the Way of Stone. [[MulticulturalAlienPlanet Also subverted,]] but [[WordOfGod not in the game itself:]] the Granok did at one point have a variety of religions not unlike Earth, but the Way is what's emerged as dominant within the last 10,000 years.

* SiliconBasedLife: Granok are 'primal-earth' based organisms, what us humans would call silicone-based- though they have squishy organs on the inside.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: The Granok on Nexus were banished from their homeworld by their elders. When the younger Granok raided Dominion bases for weapons and tech to fight off the invaders, the elders (who were ready to [[FaceDeathWithDignity accept defeat and death]]) believed them to have betrayed their race's tradition (The Way of Stone), and cast them out.

As some of the galaxy's most skilled alchemists, the Mordesh were renowned for their beauty, culture, and ability to bend the very laws of nature with their concoctions. It all came to a head when Victor Lazarin, arguably the most brilliant of the bunch, created the Everlife Elixir, a potion that granted instant rejuvenation and immortality (in an effort to [[spoiler:ressurrect his dead wife.]])

The Granok lived a simple life on Gnox, butting heads, getting drunk, and hooking up, in no particular order. They followed a rigid system of belief known as the Way of Stone, which dictated that they ought to be as unyielding as the stone they were made out of. Despite- or maybe because of this- the Granok were excellent military tacticians and fierce warriors. Hoping to harness this power for the Dominion, a team of Mechari envoys were sent to Gnox to negotiate their assimilation into the Dominion. The Granok responded to their offer by smashing the envoys into scrap.

Hailing from Arboria, a lush, verdant planet in the midst of the desolation and seediness of The Fringe, the Aurin are a peaceful race of hunter-gatherers, safeguarding the ecological balance of their planet, with the help of an empathic link to plant life they call 'the Weave'. The Exiles accidentally stumbled upon the planet during a search for resources, and the two quickly became friends.

A rag-tag alliance outcasts and rebels, the Exiles are the Dominion's main political rival in the ongoing effort to colonize and reclaim the Eldan planet of Nexus. Founded three hundred years ago by the disgruntled remnants of primarily Lowborn Cassian rebels in the Cassian Civil War, the Exiles have seen grown to include the Granok, the Mordesh, and the Aurin. Their primary fleet remains in orbit around Nexus, from where they coordinate their attempts to settle the planets and hit back at their bitter enemies. United by a common hatred against the Dominion and a desire to be free of their imperialistic goals, the Exiles are fierce, scrappy, and eager to hit out against the empire that ran them off.

[[folder:Humans]]

300 years ago, Admiral Serrick Brightland, tired of the Dominion's ever-worsening oppression of its own people, staged a rebellion. With numerous allies and the strength of the common people, they managed to break away from the Dominion, seeking refuge in the unknown spaces of the galaxy's Fringe, as wanted criminals and exiles.

The Exile humans are the descendants of those rebels, trying to make a living and get the Dominion off their backs. They are stubborn, hard-working, and generally portrayed as being more practical than their Cassian counterparts.

Exile Humans prefer solving their own problems, and judge a person's worth based on how much weight they can carry on their back. Spending three hundred years isolated on a crumbling fleet with four other races has slowly bled out any and all Cassian sophistication and mannerisms, letting their British accents fade into American and Southerner accents in the process.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Well, so far they've managed to start a (planetary) war with Falkrin, [[spoiler: started a squirg apocalypse in Whitevale]], and many times they accidentally reactivated Eldan sites with [[UnwillingRoboticization Augmentators]] and numerous weapons. In general, the Exiles tend to leave a lot of collateral damage in their wake.

* DeepSouth: For whatever reason, the British and Cockney accents from Cassus eventually evolved into American and Southerner accents. A little like in real life actually.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Their origin story.

* PartsUnknown: In the Shades Eve event, there is a lore book called, "Jack Shades on His Way" in the house at the end of the forest. It mentions that a long time ago humans arrived on the planet later called Cassus. A new home after spending so many centuries in deep space which they were space traveling from an unknown planet. Which and where the planet is/was remains a mystery.

* {{Outlaw}}: OrThey're pretty much considered this by the Dominion.

->''"Y'all know about the Dominion, right? Well, them bastards like to cause trouble; they ain't starting a war on your planet, then they're probably blockading it with their starships, or ravaging it with their frikkin' machines! Anyway, since a bunch of us got run off our homeworlds, we figured it would be a good idea to join forces and that's how the Exiles came to be! The end!"''

* {{Determinator}}: They've survived three hundred years aboard a crumbling, battered fleet.
* FightingForAHomeland: They intend to make Nexus their new home, and they're willing to fight for it.
* {{Foil}}: To the Dominion.

* OrderVersusChaos: Exiles' Chaos to Dominion Order.
* {{Outlaw}}: They're pretty much considered this by the Dominion.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Well, so far they've managed to start a (planetary) war with Falkrin, [[spoiler: started a squirg apocalypse in Whitevale]], and many times they accidentally reactivated Eldan sites with [[UnwillingRoboticization Augmentators]] and numerous weapons.

The man who doomed his entire race eventually saved it--at least temporarily--with Vitalus serum, a compound that delayed the Contagion's effects. Immortal, and with only their supplies of the precious serum their limit, the Mordesh seek a cure for their curse.
