Erudish

Half-Orc Male, Subrace Black Orc

Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Evil --> it varies on the situation

Diety: Da'Nogra...will touch on this later...he is not a shaman though

Appearance: Erudish is a massive half-orc, standing at about 6"4 and 250 lbs of pure muscle but don't let that fool you, he has excellent quickness for his size (so DEX: 13-15, in that range). His skin has a greenish tint, but his facial features take after his human side more (has a snout-like nose, has a smoother face than a regular orc). His hair is greyish-black, long, and flowing, unlike a normal orc.He cannot speak Orcish, but can speak fluent Common. He has a very guttural and angry voice.

Personality: Erudish is an extremely tormented individual as past experiences have shaped the way he feels about the world. As a subject of extreme racism, he has grown to hate all those who would persecute orcs and generally, he seeks to destroy those that do. His mother is a touchy topic; despite her being human, he loved her with all his heart and when she was murdered, the human side of him went into hiding. Anyone who's ever insulted her has usually been killed in a brutal fashion.

At times though, his human instincts surface and come close to influencing his decisions, but he's managed to override them time and time again. He does appreciate the greater understanding of military tactics that his ancestry provides him; however, he accepts Orc culture as his own, not 'civilization'. One facet of the culture he has never taken in is rape, because it is the thing that resulted in his mother's death. Erudish feels that he is simply enacting righteous vengeance and most of the time he appears as an angry half-orc, focussed on bringing the civilized world to the brink of destruction. Whether this is who he really is remains to be seen though.

Background: He's from the Athkatla Slums. Most of his travels have been in Amn, especially in the 'orc-heavy' areas. Other then that, he's not exceptionally well-travelled. Not that he cares. As long as there are humans to kill, he's 'happy'. Well, happy as much as an evil, cruel, warboss can be.

Combat: He revels in it. Even when outside of combat, he is usually found doing something violent to another creature, or thinking of ways to hurt and maim foes. He primarily uses melee weapons of any type and occasionally will pick up a shield if necessary. While proficient in melee combat, generally it's either a torture method or a last resort if he's using his fists. Again, while he can somewhat use ranged weapons, he's nowhere near as effective with them as he is with a sword or axe.

Equipment of Note: Armor with the strange engravings on it (he doesn't know what they are). A rune-encrusted two-handed great axe that he shares a telepathic link with.

Weaknesses: Does not know much of the world outside of violence and war, which is what his life has become and revolves around. At times, when his human side comes to the surface, he tries to quell it on the inside, which leaves him vulnerable. He's definitely not fun to talk to unless you're an orc or you have orcish blood. He's not exactly the best looking character either.

Amelie

Half-Elf Female

True Neutral--->Probably will change later

Appearance: Amelie is a slender and delicate child with flowing black hair and amber eyes that are hard to miss. She's about a dwarven male's height (but she weighs less of course). She's about ten years old, although she doesn't act like one that young.

Personality: On the outside she tries to appear carefree but in truth she is very hard on herself, blaming herself when people around her get hurt (partially because the druids criticized her quite a bit). She can grow quite attached to certain people (Erudish) and despite her age, is fairly clever, intelligent, and powerful. Her spellsongs have yet to be honed and this distresses her somewhat. She tries to be as helpful as she can.

Background: Born and raised in the Druid's Grove, but has (for a child) quite a bit of knowledge with magic.

Combat: She doesn't like combat, but will use her spellsongs to defend her friends if absolutely necessary.

Equipment of Note: None

Weaknesses: Physically is weak (she's a child). Can be irrational like most pre-teens. Her emotions can sometimes push her to bad decisions. Has a soft spot for Erudish.
