Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Grakks descends from the orc shaman blood line. At an age of 32 he stands at just over 8 feet tall and has very masculine features as far as muscles and facial features go. He has 3 blood red tattoos on his head, 2 are symmetrical to each other and the third runs over his head down to the back of his neck. He has rough green skin and two yellowing teeth that come out of his lower jaw.

Grakks does not speak much but he still likes to explore the world and learn about its history. He does not kill just to kill although he still hungers for battle because of the curse that was bestowed upon his people just before Iblees had been banished from the land. His only fears are that of spiders and failing his comrades and kin.

Grakks was born in the desserts where he was trained from the age of 2 how to fight. His combat skills increased and he showed particular interest in the axe, the same weapon that his grandfather had used to fight. However Grakks was unable to wield a bow and arrow because of his lack of dexterity, He was unable to hit the broadside of a hut with a bow let alone fire an arrow towards it. Aside from the fighting Grakks showed talent in music as he would play on the drum that his family owned almost every day. He also was very interested in the war between Iblees and his ancestors as many of them fought against Iblees.

When Grakks had turned 15 his grandfather had given him a wooden axe to train with although many years later the axe had worn and broken. The older Grakks got the more protecting his tribe and clan became important to him as his understanding of orcish morals and values increased (the older you are the wiser you get).

Today Grakks still plays the drums and trains with an axe striving to improve his technique. He helps other orcs in need and on the occasion will help someone of another race.

Your characters ambitions:

Grakks wants to learn more about his ancestors as well as gain more knowledge in the art of wielding an axe and he desires to join the ranks of the warriors.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do?

As Grakks approaches a cottage in the wilds he hears cries from a helpless souls. He grabs his axe of courage, and follows his way towards the sounds of distress. Suddenly as he approaches an outcrop of trees he see a band of bandits brutally mutilating an elf. He knows he must help out the elf and so he charges towards the bandits. He swings his axe and kills one of the bandit. Suddenly the other bandit rushes away in a quick movement. He moves the injured elf into his cottage. After about an hour of the elf being unconscious Grakks asks what happened to the elf....

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? Grakks walked into a blacksmiths shop. Whilst looking around the shop the blacksmith approached and asked,

"What kin' I do fer yeh"

As Grakks quickly looked left to right to find the blacksmith.

" I am looking for a new axe, mine has become old and worn and cant cut butter let alone a pig for food." he replied.

"Well I have a few axes that might suffice." replied the blacksmith.

As he went into the back of the shop to grab a few things Grakks continued to look around.

"Well here we are, This axe isnt much of a war axe but it can take the mightiest redwood down to a pulp."

" I'm not much for cutting wood, do you have something that can slice through enemies with ease."

" I think I have just that" as the blacksmith goes upstairs, he comes down shortly after with an axe wrapped in a burlap cloth.

" With this axe nothing can stop you, you will be able to take down foes with the greatest of ease."

" That sounds fine, how much is it?"

"250 gold coins"

"Hmm, the price seems good, I'll take it."

"Very well, Wear this axe with pride for it is a good weapon."

"I will"

Grakks leaves the shop with his new axe strapped to him...
