Thekk

The Cowfallow Bridge

Dark shadows whirled within the smoke across the bridge, coaxing out the screams of the lost. Soon the shades tangible forms could be seen emerging, sickly green, from the ashes of Cowfallow. His head pounding, his heart in his throat, Thekk stumbled backwards falling among a group of ale barrels. As he fell his eyes met those of one of the brutes, whose lips lit up in a sinister smile. The orc barreled towards him, axe raised, poised to end the struggle that was life.

Some raw instinctual force awoke within Thekk, driving him into action. With the monster within meters of him, Thekk forced a barrel towards the orc with a resounding kick. Though sturdy, the orc lacked in agility and fell face first with a resounding thud. Without thought, Thekk rose to his feet and ran towards his incapacitated foe. Grabbing his hammer from his toolbelt he raised it high above the orc’s massive head and sent it crashing down. He could feel the brute’s head cave with a loud crack but the orc still squirmed. Rhythmically Thekk bashed in the creature’s skull conducting an orchestra of cracks, squirts, and finally nothingness.

The hot gore of the orc spotted Thekk’s face and hands. Soon the blood mixed with tears as Thekk fell back among the barrels. Vomit rose in his throat and gushed out, rolling down his shirt and pants. Dazed and confused, Thekk resigned himself to fate and sat and watched his village burn.

Race: Human

Avatar: The life of a bastard is one of struggle. With the deck stacked against you from the start you have to learn to thrive in a hostile world. As something of an outcast, Thekk faces judgmental glances, low mutterings, and the futility in trying to change something he had no control over. Because of this, Thekk holds the Rat in high esteem, identifying with the futile struggle that is life.

Name: Thekk

Gender: male

Age: 19

Appearance: The best words to describe Thekk are remarkably average. Despite having somewhat of an angular face, with high cheekbones and a thin chin, most of Thekk's features don't provoke any sense of wonder or disgust. His most idiosyncratic feature would be his thick, curly black hair paired with vibrant green eyes.

Current Equipment: Harvesting sickle, Toolbelt with hammer, chisel, and a mostly blunted from use hatchet, thick working gloves

Handy Skills: Minor Wound Treatment - specialized in animals Forestry - identifying local herbs and plants Horseriding - from working in his father's stables

Personality at RP's Start: Thekk is something of a loner. He doesn't talk much because he is rarely talked to. He harbors bitter resentment for a life he had no choice in forming and aspires to be known for something beyond his means of conception.

Facts Likely Known To Others: Thekk is a bastard (hence the lack of surname). Not just any bastard, but one belonging to a rich landowner in the village. Though not accepted as a full member of his father's family, he has modest quarters among his father's homestead. He "earns" his stay by working his father's fields and stables. His illegitimacy caused something of a scandal among the village at the time of his birth, and he has been something of the town pariah ever since.
