@nano627's character : Parod Bog


He stood 6 feet proud, a pillar of clay that was beaten and scarred as badly as the Tower of Babel in its final moments. His history, one of oppression and rebellion, is written all over his naked scalp and shattered tusk. Here, a scar showed the crude shaving of his hair from his head. There, the remnants of his left canine hang by a cord just below his collarbone. Down his shoulder, a lion's head snarled at his head in protest of the orc's freedom. Indeed, Parod Bog was not as bulky as his free brothers were, but with his suffering came wisdom of the natural law - wisdom that urged a mountain of corpses to be paid as retribution for the transgressions made against his kin and himself. He had enough strength to exact that knowledge; he just had to take care of where to apply it.


Name: Mud

Aliases: Parod Bog

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Orc

Physical Appearance:
Mud is 6ft tall with clay coloured skin that is riddled with various scars and bite marks. His face is rather stern; it is emphasized by his black onyx eyes and bald head. He takes great pride in his full dark beard, which contrasts the resentment he feels for the lion head slave mark that covers his upper back. His lower tusks stick out of his mouth; unfortunately, his left tusk is mostly chipped away and now hanging around his neck as a makeshift necklace. He has an average muscle tone for a man of his breed, which really means "he's quite muscular", typical of the brawny Orcs.

Wealth Class: Slum-Dweller

Weaknesses, Drawbacks and Limitations:

  • Illiterate - A's and triangles are exactly the same thing in his eyes.
  • Cynophobic (Fear of dogs)


Skills and Talents:

  • Cooking
  • Shortswords
  • Bucklers


Psychological Profile:
Despite being a hard-ass in almost all other occasions, Mud has had a history of problems concerning his earlier years in life. Without a way to cope with the trauma from the dogs, he had developed cynophobia very early on. It's possible he may have PTSD, as he suffers night terrors well into his adulthood.

Personality.
Mud was born into slavery and, as such, has had a rather primitive way of viewing his peers : they stand only above, equal, or below. He doesn't believe in any kind of relationships, aside from business and more recently conquest, but he isn't one to off a person, so long as they have any value to him. While Mud is strictly loyal to whichever side caters best to his goals, he isn't so refined as to think of not challenging his superiors for promotions, as most Orcs do. He hates humans with a passion; they were his masters for the majority of his time in slavery. Similarly, he hates magic because it was by the extensive usage of magic that kept him inside slavery with little hope of escape. Mud wishes to use the Legion as a stepping stone to gain money and renown in hopes of making his own mercenary company, and strike back at his former masters.

History/Bio:
Mud was born into slavery. He never met his parents, as he was sold at birth. Mud was put to work in the kitchens from the age 4 and, by the time he turned 13, was a decent cook. However, like most adolescent orcs, Mud suffered from a relentless hunger that led to him being caught stealing food from the kitchens. As punishment, he was tossed into a pen with hunting dogs. He killed them with his bare hands, though not before many chunks of his flesh were down in their gullets. His masters, finding a monetary use for him that was beyond just cooking, decided to shove him into the arena. Mud survived the arena for 5 years before finally managing to escape to the Havish Empire. Mud found his way into the slums and got involved in the gangs that roamed there. He decided to change his name to Parod Bog to sound more serious for buisness related deals, although Mud remained a nickname with his more powerful associates. However, after only a few months, Mud's expectations of ruthless banditry were failed as little to no violence was apparent. So, Mud decided to join the Legion in hopes of gaining money and fame to form a mercenary band. If possible, he'd get as many orcs as he could to establish a tribe of his own, just as his forefathers had done before their enslavement.

Relationships: N/A

Other: Mud enjoys culinary arts and music.
