Biography:  

Spoiler

This story starts with a woman Uruk, a strong and resilient one named Shug (sh-oog). Standing 7'7 in height she was considered massive and strong by many. She was however, a target for belittlement. See, Shug was born with a birth defect that has been carried through her ancestral tree for generations. This birth defect causes the colouration in a Orc to be blank; like an empty canvas. A pure white. Not white like some gross Human skin, think white like the snow. Or the kind of white you can only find when looking at a star. This birth defect also causes the eyes to go a pure red, which is usually a rare blessing upon certain Orcs but Shug did not view it as a blessing, more-so a curse. She viewed it as a curse as that is how it is viewed by other Orcs at times. Not all of them mind you, but a decent enough amount too deter her from wanting a Kub. This of course, did not matter though. In Orcish society while they are an extremely spiritual culture they also still value honour, and strength, and that is what Shug had. Any time someone would doubt her prowess in battle or say she was a curse and blight upon Orcish society, she would stand up to them in a klomp. Sometimes she lost, sometimes she won; but what matters is the fact she didn't accept defeat and stood up to those who aimed to disparage her name. Eventually the Orcs around her began to realize she was not a weakling and her odd colour didn't detract from her strength. After all, all the other Orcs aren't exactly the prettiest too look at covered in scars and the like. When they realized this, she was able to find a mate. A strong red-skin Orc, tested by time and a great warrior, though smaller than she. 
 
After the successful mate and her learning of her blessing of a Kub, she visited a wise farseer shaman as they are often sought after in times of tribulation. The shaman she went too see could not do much, but he visited the planes and asked the spirits for which spirits to look too for guidance in this mothers case. After the shaman returned to his body and had given a list to the mother she prayed and prayed to many spirits and offered many tributes to the spirits that could help her. She offered many tributes of a plethora of healthy creatures and prayed to Akezo, spirit of health, vitality, and healing. She prayed to Ublulhar, the spirit of hope and new beginnings. Unable to think of something that would appease this spirit she simply did not offer anything at all. She offered a tribute of a warm fire every night, like a beating heart and prayed to Isuz, spirit of love, caring, and tranquility. She stopped drinking and smoking cactus green to appease Scorthuz, spirit of cleansing, purity and purging. She had thought to had gone mad by some Orcs, others thought of her as valiant; attempting to appease all these spirits. Now you're probably wondering, what was she praying for? She wasn't just praying for the healthiness of her Kub, but she was also praying for her Kub to come out a normal colour and put an end to her centuries long ancestral "curse". Months later, the spirits had decided today was the day Shug was going to birth the Kub. 
 
Born in 1560 to the Warchief clan Zahn, Umrah was born. His skin was a nice shade of red, as if he had been tested in the harsh desert sands. Though, not completely... He had retained some of his mothers genes/curse, but not all. This resulted in him having the signature red eyes and small white spots going all along his back. He also had a medium sized blotch of white on his abdomen, and left pectoral area. His mother saw this and still breathed a sigh of relief, this was good enough for her. All the madness and constant offerings and praying over the months had paid off. He was going to be normal. Or, mostly. Fast forward a couple of years, Umrah started seeing a shining golden cat in his dreams. It was shining in the way that it seemed as if the sun was always shining upon it. He always asked the creature its name and what it wants but it always leaves, as if scared off. The way this golden cat moved was strange, leaving specters of it's previous movements behind it; producing an effect that made it look like it moved slowly but in reality it was still moving at a fast pace. On a cool night during The Amber Cold, Umrah had fallen asleep. Having a dream of the same golden cat however, this time when he asked it it's name it responded. "I am a spirit. My name is Ibixys and I represent all that you mortals would consider luck, and fortune. I am the very reason for many existences. This is the last time you will see of me. Be well, mortal." then, it vanished and Umrah had woken up. The following day was that fateful day on 1571, where everyone fled to Axios through the portal. 
 
The Orcs from the clan Zahn decided to remain living in Vailor with the taint as they saw it as Krugs blessing (perhaps they had simply just gone mad), and an insult to him as well as weakness to abandon their home. However, Shug did not want this life for her Kub (eleven years of age when these events happened), and snuck him into the portal with all the other Orcs when they decided to flee the destroyed lands they once called home. Arriving on the Island of Krug in the cloud temple Umrah was feeling devastated and betrayed his mother would throw him away like meaningless trash as she did. For this reason he never felt the need to trust another clan or family in his lifetime; because of this he then grew up in the wilderness of Axios alone, hunting and struggling to survive basic day to day life without a clan to guide and help him. He wasn't really an Orc at all. He was really only able to survive alone at such a young age because of how fast Orcs mature and how they are taught the ways of fighting and killing at a young age. His ability to survive and his strength however did not stop him from the normal mental feelings sentient beings are known to posses. Perhaps a normal resilient and strong Orc wouldn't have been as depressed as Umrah got for his mother abandoning him, but he had a special attachment and bond to his mother; a momma's boy, if you will. Ironically this attachment stemmed from the fact him and his mother partly shared the same "curse". 
 
That takes us to where we are now. After years of traveling in Axios and struggling to survive, Umrah has decided he wants to put his day-to-day traveling on the backburner and settle in with a new clan, now that he has a direction to go in for his life maybe it will help him mentally, and psychically.

Writing Notes/Extras:

Spoiler

I apologize for my bad writing, it's been years so I've had the chance to indulge myself in this hobby. I wanted to work the Ilzpaak into this somehow but had already written everything; this is why Umrah's birth month and date was not mentioned. I want to touch up more on the clan Zahn, their followings and practices, and location. Elaborate more on why Zahn decided to stay; were they broken enough by Orgon that even though he had betrayed Orcs they still chose to worship him? I want to axe the Ibixys part from this story altogether eventually, it's pretty cliche seeing a spirit in the dreams (there's already a spirit of fortune anyways).

 

Personality Traits: Is afraid of water. Can swim, but cannot float. Hates undead, like every other Orc. Traveling is something he has grown to love. Is interested in the literature of other races, and the stories told by them; however is also equally interested in battle. Has mommy issues. 
Ambitions: Umrah does not know, he does not dwell on the future too much. For now, he just wants to travel and eventually find a clan where he can truly feel welcomed. 
Strengths/Talents: Upon being raised, his mother placed an importance on intelligence and bettering ones mind (while she was around). These few years of intense mind training has left him with a better understanding of language(s), culture, and proper story-telling (Think smarter than an average Uruk in those fields, but not as intensely smart as a Goblin). 
Weaknesses/Inabilities: He is deathly afraid of water. It's scary, who knows what the hell lurks beneath. Since he has been conditioned to "go it alone" most of his childhood life he is not as about family and clans as an Orc should be, which is extremely unhealthy and bad. He is working on changing this however, and really wants to find a clan willing to take him in as one of their own. 
Appearance: Umrah is 7'5, red skin with white spots running all along his back, a few medium sized blotches of white skin on his abdomen and left pec area, bald and well built. 
Skin: I want to wait for this too be accepted before going through the trouble of finding a skin. Basically I don't have one.
