Full Name: Graarg Wymond Wintersmith

Current Age: 22

 

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): 

The Kru Clan was not really a clan. It was just a small tribe of orcs who had grouped together in order to survive the perils of the desert. They roamed the desert, setting up camp at small oases. 

They claimed tobe of direct descendants of Krug, but this was never proven. But their

existence came and went like the wind; one day they disappeared into the
desert. Nobody heard of them again.

There were rumors that in a southern human village near the border of the Orcish
nation there was an affair. An orc had supposedly been with a young woman. But
when investigators reached the house, there was nothing left inside the house
but sand quietly swirling about the floor.

Months later, with all memory of this incident gone, an old farmer and wife despaired.
They were much past the age of pregnancy, and they did not have a heir. 
But one night, there was a knock on the door. And there was soft wailing at the
door.

They named him Wymond, a human name which meant "battle protector". It
signified his sturdiness and strength, which he displayed at a young age.

When he was a toddler, he got into a fight with a human toddler over a toy. He
punched the other boy so hard he flew away into a haystack. After that incident
all the human children avoided him.

He sought refuge with the pigs, the only ones who would not run away from him. He
played in the mud with them all the time, and had to be frequently dragged out
for a bath in the nearby river.

When a pig was ran over by a traveling merchant elf's cart from Leumalin, the elf
refused to apologize and sneered at the old farmer. Wymond flew into a rage and
flung himself at the elf, but was batted away easily, for the elf was a full
grown man and he was merely a child.

Fifteen years later, the old couple died peacefully, and left the entire farm under his
ownership. But when the contractor found  that the farm was now run by a
half-orc, he immediately terminated the contract. And so this way Wymond set
out into Anthos to find a job and a goal in life. Adopting the name
"Graarg" for use in speaking to orcs, he hopes to find others like
him or a culture that will accept him.

 

Ambitions for the Future: To find a society that accepts him, as well as find out
who his real parents were.

 

Personality: Graarg holds a very wary perspective of all those around
him, as he knows how half-orcs are hated in all the nations. However, if he
finds someone trustworthy, he does not hesitate to open up to them. Because of
this, he may be considered naïve in some aspects, as staying on the farm for
most of his life did not let him experience much of the world. Because of the
run-in with the elf, he believes all elves are like the one he met and holds
them in disdain. Although he tries to keep his temper in check, he can be
provoked into a fit of fury, losing his ability to logically think temporarily.

 

Skills: Because of working in his foster-father's farm, he knows
basic sowing, tilling and harvesting. He also knows how to manage livestock,
mainly taking care of the pigs at home. In addition, he also enjoys reading,
even if only signposts are available nearby. He had gone to see a mentor who
has been teaching him how to write. He has also been taught to wield a weapon
to defend himself and the farm, but aside from basic training he is not an
expert swordsman. Although he does not want to fight anyone, when a fight does
commence, he sincerely enjoys it.

 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your
skin): Graarg is very pale skinned for a green orc, with a slightly blue-greenish shade. His tusks are much less protruding and smaller than the average orc, which makes him able to pronounce
common much easier than common orcs, but still with a noticeable accent. His
height is also much closer to a human than an orc, and he is less muscular than
what you might find in a regular orc soldier. Being adopted by farmers he does
not have much money, and his clothes reflect this.

Open-Response-Questions

 

Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of
one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.

____

 

1. You are roaming the mighty capital of the War Nation Of Uruks, as you near the Arena you spot an Orc, wearing what seems to be human garbs as he looks at you he smiles and say out loud in common not in blah “Come friend let me teach you of civilization and break your
mind from this orcish savagery!”, how do you react?

 

Answer: Graarg turns his head, uninterested and growls in a low
voice: "Go away." The orc, astounded by his good pronunciation
compared to his own and the intimidating dismissal, turns around and flees.
Graarg watches him run down a small alley, and notices the light catch on a
small knife hidden on his back. It turns out he was in fact a con-man trying to
get victims into the secluded alley. Graarg shakes his head and walks away,
continuing his journey through San'Orka. Unbeknownst to him, the orc is later
found stealing from a man and is banished from the nation.

 

2. As you are watching an Arena fight between
two Orcs, the Goj of Krug walks towards the Arena, and shouts “Mi brudderz
da Feztivel ob Krug iz coummeh! We needz zacrifizez tu zummun da Zpirit ob Krug un diz uzg, go gadder
da Warbandz nd raid da landz nd bring mi buck zacrifizez, twiggy nd pinky
dat we kan zlauhater upun da alter ob Krug nuw go mi Brudderz!” How do you react
to this?

 

Answer: Seeing the Goj walk into the Arena shouting an
announcement in blah, Graarg pulls his cloak closer around him and sneaks away,
in fear of his pale skin being noticed and thereafter captured for being
whitewash. Slinking away in an alley while the soldiers bustle through the main
street, he accidentally bumps into a hooded stranger, with his face obscured
from the light. Heart pounding, he hastily apologizes and backs away. The
figure then falls over revealing two young goblins messing around. Graarg wipes
the sweat off of his forehead and helps the goblins get back up. They giggle
and run away.

 

3. As you are travelling in the barren Orcish deserts you
come across a quiet oasis. Beside it sits a small tent where a young
orc is preparing a meal of roasted halfling. He calls you over, offering you to join in with his meal. What does your character do?

 

Answer: "Ug, bruddah. Lat wantz zome of this snaak?" Feeling
extremely hungry after a long trek in the desert, Graarg cautiously approaches,
using a blah accent to avoid detection as a half-orc. "Yub, rulg lat"
He sits down next to the youth and eyes him warily, but still accepts the meal
graciously. After a while of silence, they have a hearty conversation
concerning the extremities of the desert. Fortunately, the youth does not seem
to realize Graarg is a half-orc. "Where lat be going next? Blarg?"
the youth asks him. "Mi nub haz blarg" Graarg says in a low voice.
Concluding the warm meal, he bids the orc farewell, finally feeling full after
a couple of days in the barren wasteland.
