Character Name: Sven Egilson
Character & Descripion:
Sven is a burly half-orc with a strange combination of bright eyes and yellow hair not common in the race, taking after his mother. His face takes more after humans than orcs and his quick wit, easy smile and lively songs he makes even those normally distrustful of half-orcs friendly. He dresses as a traveler from colder climates as he knows he can always take clothes off but sometimes you don't have enough during a cold night when a prejudiced inkeeper turns you away. His smile sometimes leaves as quickly as it comes. He can be quick to anger and impulsive, a trait picked up from his childhood, where he learned sometimes it is better to throw the first punch than to be taken unaware. With his longaxe (bardiche), heavy shield and armor he may make a fearsome sight on the road but his friends count him among the most reliable in a fight that they've known (although not as reliable outside of them).
Background Information:
Sven's sorceress mother Tanya was part of a merchant band traveling between the free cities. One night the caravan was attacked by an Orc raiding party. The caravan was destroyed by the larger orc force but before they were laid to waste Tanya managed to successfully cast a charm spell. The Orc she charmed successfully protected her from the rest of the raiding party... but claimed her as his own, taking her back to the tribe. Sven lived his formative years fighting and growing up in brutal company, but also was toughened by it. Having to compete with other stronger full-Orc children made him strive even harder to be their better. His mother still lived in thralldom there, and taught him what magic he could learn, but also told him tales of all the places she had been with the caravan. He loved the though of going out into the world, to learn about new things. Seeing the culture and legends of his tribe, along with other legends his mother taught him made him want to go out into the world and see for himself. At the age of 15 (being an adventurous soul) at with the blessing of his mother (she wanted him to escape this place) he went out into the world, to see what he could see. He first found work for a merchant caravan not unlike the one his mother worked for years ago, acting as muscle when needed and translator to bribe orcs tribes demanding tribute. That was 8 years ago and he has learned much. This morning, his caravan has arrived in Rook... What will he see today?
I'm looking forward to this
