[My Creature Character] Bhöürx The Pigman

[CommunistSpartan 6]

~*<>*~ Bhhöürx ~*<>*~

Bhhöürx is quite a strange being, it is not known to the public how he came into

existance. He is a pigman, obviously. He is dressed in a raggedy pair of shorts, seemingly made by himself. It is not known if he had any family, or if he is a descendant of anyone. Noone really knows where he came from, or who he is. He cannot speak any language, he uses squeals and body language to express himself. He does not understand any language. The ugly truth behind how he came to be is through magical coincidence involvling lightning and magic of purity. It is unknown who is responsible for the magic, however.

 

~*<>*~ History ~*<>*~

Bhhöürx is obviously not a fully natural occurence, but it is widely known that

there is existance of a creature known as the Zombie Pigman. There is rumor that he has a connection to this creature, but it is not FULLY known yet, as he cannot speak any language, nor understand it. He actually DID start out as a Zombie Pigman, a simple wild pig struck by lightning due to sheer serendipity. A wandering sorcerer came across this powerful being, which was too dumb to understand that it was made for evil. The sorcerer took advantage of this short amount of time before lust of flesh, using polynomancy to transform it into a Pigman with no rotten flesh and restored its pure vegetarian diet. Thanks to this non-selfish sorcerer, Bhhöürx ended up being a confused Pigman of young age. In fact, Bhhöürx was only a PIGLET when he was struck by the magickal lightning. After reaching age 10, he realized that he must cover himself to protect his skin. He gathered leather which he had found at a campsite and tied it together to make some shorts. He occasionally would wash the simple clothing, and over time it grew raggedy. He still wears the same shorts to this day. Of course, the clothing information was irrelevant. Bhhöürx is not skilled in anything useful other than farming. He can catch a fish, but he doesn't eat them, he wishes to keep them as a pet, showing a sign of the sorcerer's spell of purity paying off. He roams the land, occasionally getting a strange look by the inhabitants that have never even thought of a creature such as him. He has no special advantages, only disadvantages. He can be mistaken for a pig, unless he is standing up as usual. He pretty much looks like a pig wearing a loincloth, with the features of the nonrotten half of a Zombie Pigman. He never wields weapons, and the only time he will ever harm anything/anyone is when he is forced to by natural instinct of self defense. Even when doing so, he feels bad and tries to make it up to the person who was harmed. He does not understand the idea of evil, and only thinks that being attacked is an instinct of who-knows-what. When attacked, he will squeal in distress, and feel worried. He cannot perform any magic himself, and when he sees magic, he is amazed. Bhöürx doesn't understand how life works, nor death. He doesn't suspect that death will affect him truly, only that it will end him. When he feels pain, he truly enters a state of pure terror. While in the state of fight-or-flight, he usally leans torwards flight. He'll hop onto all fours, which he isn't used to, and flee. Bhhöürx recently has turned 14, and is just now integrating with society, not needing a home at all. He typically wanders around anywhere with a tree, especially orcish areas due to a happy experience with two orcs earlier in his life.

 

~*<>*~ Allignment ~*<>*~

Bhöürx is a Neutral-Good type allignment, not really minding what's going on,

while not doing bad. Bhhöürx typically will mind his own business, unless someone is in danger caused by nature. Example: A man floating down a stream unable to catch a branch. Bhöürx would step in and help the man out of the stream, even if that man was chasing him only seconds ago, trying to eat him. Bhhöürx is always going to be the nice guy- err... pigguy... Whatever.

 

~*<>*~ Instinct ~*<>*~

Bhhöürx has carried over instinct from when he was a simple pig. The main

instinct is that weapons mean danger. If he sees a weapon, he will fill cornered and in danger. His main instinct in cases like this is to run away.

 

~*<>*~ Genetic Makeup ~*<>*~

One can assume that Bhhöürx would have fingers, which is true. His fingers are

almost useless, however. This is due to the fact that his fingernails are hooflike and thick, and cannot be trimmed as simply as a humans'. Similar to a Kha', he carries traits from his ancestors. Don't misunderstand that, he is not his own race, but a creature. He has a snout, piglike ears, and a short tail. He also has simplistic, derpy eyes almost identical to your average pig's eyes.

 

~*<>*~ Psychological Makeup ~*<>*~

Yes, he realizes he is different from a pig. But he does not realize he is similar

to any other humanoid race. In fact, he doesn't relate himself to them at all, other than his shape. He does have feelings and slight intelligence, but not much. He feels things such as sorrow, happiness, fright, sadness, and even anger. However, feelings such as anger and sorrow are not common in him. The only times he feels them is when: A) The trigger for these emotions normally in the common races is applied multiple times in a short period of time. Or B) An extreme exaggeration of the trigger of these emotions normally in the common races is applied all at once. Bhhöürx often feels only two emotions: Extreme happiness, or extreme sadness. On occasion, he feels extreme fright.

 

~*<!>*~ OOC Information ~*<!>*~

I made this post as a request for your opinion, I really would appreciate if you

gave me feedback on it. I also made this as a suggestion to have my dream character approved. I have always wanted to play a pigman, and I saw someone named Porkour play one. I understand that there are no ways of communicating through spoken or written language, and that there will never really be. I also want you to know that there is no benefit to this creature character, and only a disadvantage or two.

Advantages:

• None for me, interesting roleplay for others.

Disadvantages:

• May be mistaken for a simple pig.
• Subject to be entered into slavery.
• Not handsome.
• Not often getting his side taken in an argument over if he should be eaten/taken into slavery, in fact, ignored in most cases when being kidnapped.
• Cannot write or talk. The only thing he says is "Bhöürx," which he says rarely. The only time he'll say it is when someone has taken him and doesn't know anything about him. He'll point to himself and say: "Bhöürx..."
• Can be mistaken for a monster.

The only real advantage for me is a fun roleplay experience, which I share with other

players. I'll make sure not to break the mechanical standard by going on an elf-eating rampage(whatever that means, someone mentioned it to me earlier...), or performing magic. I also accept any forced changes made by a LM, and also accept if it is disapproved. However, if it is disapproved, I will be persistant and try to alter it much more to be accepted. I don't plan on giving up, but if I am forced to give up, I will cri evry tiem. Thanks for reading, I appreciate it. I leave you with this image:

I thought pigmen were already implemented as playable creatures lore wise, given that I heard it from someone and I actually saw a couple pigmen in the past, on in the Fringe the other in Athera, anyways I might be wrong, it's best to just ask an LM (Loremaster).

[Tom_Whiteman 949]

Porkour played a pigman!!!!

[CommunistSpartan 6]

I was informed by a staff member that an LM must approve that I am roleplaying a Pigman. Also, a GM can change my race to Pigman, but they refused to until an LM told them they could. Also, anyone else notice that more than half the map was replaced with purple stained glass, including the air? It was like, from bedrock to aether. No joke. Anyways, thanks for the feedback, guys! I appreciate it! I also looked down and saw that "The Wamping Wizard" was viewing the topic <3

[Avacyn 1706]

Nobody but Porkour is approved to play a pigman. If anybody else who is playing a pigman sees this post, please cease playing one. Thank you.

[Overland 339]

I don't see why not, I haven't seen Porkour in months personally. My only concern is I'd rather it wasn't more of a novelty character, though if you can play it as your main for the next long while, go ahead if you get permission. 

[CommunistSpartan 6]

I honestly don't see an issue with roleplaying as a pigman, as it is already backed up by Zombie Pigman lore. If there is an undead creature, there simply must be a non-undead version of it, right? There were several recorded cases of a pig being struck by lightning and unleashing the inner beast that is the Zombie Pigman in roleplay. Also, there has been an approved character that is a pigman, therefore there shouldn't be a huge issue about strict approval from "the high and mighty" lore-masters. I simply think it's somewhat unnecessary, but I do respect the rules. I just... I just can't fathom the fact that Jistuma is denying that it will happen before a long amount of time. Jistuma, just... Blegh, I got all worked up over it, but whatever. I see that an issue arrises here. One character that is a pigman roams about freely. Why must it be restricted for there to be more of them? I realise that many believe it would spread out RP, but it really wouldn't. They would most likely roam around the preexisting areas in boredom. And there isn't a problem about them having all-mighty powers, they can't even understand, write, or read any languages at all naturally. Either way, they wouldn't be another race, anyways. They would be a creature type. And you see Dread Knights, Ghosts, Spectres, Wraiths, and other creatures roaming about freely. I realise that I am ranting at this point, but my god, what is the damn issue with roleplaying a pigman? I just simply do not understand it at all, no, I don't understand it one bit. In fact, I can't accept it wholy in my mind. I just can't. Either way, I am saddened by Jistuma's statements about it being a long time before I'll ever be able to roleplay a creature character that is a pigman. Oh well, I'll have to get over it and wait that long time. But seriously guys, thanks for the feedback on the subject. I want constructive criticism. And I want replies from Lore-Masters / LMs. I guess I'll rant some more later. Until then, I'll be bored waiting for my tempban to wear off. I think it has 4 more hours. Blegh, shame. It'll be 8:15PM by then where I am. :sadface: (I know that isn't an emote) See your manboobs you guys soon! Maybe...

[CommunistSpartan 6]

Sorry for the rant, it was... unproffessional...

[CommunistSpartan 6]

Oh, and I'm working on something else that's a secret, I'll link it later ;)

[Mankaar 166]

I've seen some of his rp it's good, maybe you should work to get it completely approved by staff however.

[Jistuma 1995]

long time is 2 to 3 weeks btw.

[Porkour. 235]

Long time is 2-3 years....

[Porkour. 235]

I would submit my lore, but its over four pages in 8 font...and I just don't feel that LotC deserves to have another race.
