Name
Druuk
Race
Half Orc
Gender
Male
Age
30
Appearance
Druuk has green skin, green hair, and red eyes, making his orcish heritage very obvious. Not that he would ever try to hide it, at this point it's a mark of pride for him. He keeps his hair cut short and naturally doesn't grow much facial hair.
He stands tall at 6'5, his heavy set build weighing 255 pounds is offset both by his height and also the fact a lot of his weight is muscle.
He wears relatively light hide armour, his skin is thicker than a normal humans which offers some protection, also his fighting style lends itself more to armour that affords mobility over something heavier like chain or plate.
He is covered in many scars. Some from battle, some from beatings at the hand of his former master. He wears them with honour, he survived many hardships before, he will survive more in the future.
Personality
Druuk is a bit of a crass individual. He doesn't particularly enjoy the company of other people. He tolerates them because he understands the concept of power in numbers. When in a group Druuk will sit back and obverse the dynamics of the others, trying to get a feel for where he will fit in.
Background
Mother captured by orcs, she was rescued but not before bad stuff happened
Brought to the nearest city, but with no way to survive on her own she was sold into slavery
Druuk is born, she barely survives but keeps him and works hard so her master would let her keep him.
Orc children grow up fast, half Orc children are the same. By age 2 Druuk was able to help with tasks so his mother wasn't working alone.
At age 5 his mother died. She had been unwell his entire life, and she just couldn't fight anymore. Druuk was left alone with a cruel master
At age 10 Druuk was offered a deal, he could fight in the arenas, and as long as he won he wouldn't have to work. He took the deal, and he was good at it.
He started fighting captured monsters, then moved on to other people. He wouldn't kill them though unless they were a criminal or they asked for death. Druuk prayed to the god of battle that those he killed as a mercy would be allowed in his halls since they died as warriors.
After 15 long years Druuk bought his freedom. But he was a former slave who could barely read, he knew his career prospects weren't great. So he did what he knew, he fought. He travelled the land to other arenas. He became a bit of a legend, a true Gladiator.
He would sometimes take students, those who wished to know how to fight like him. He would help how he could, but the only way to fight like Druuk was to do it to stay alive for your whole life.
Eventually Druuk grew tired of the life he was living. He heard rumours of a strange land, and he grew intrigued. Perhaps there he could find a real challenge.
Talents
Druuk has fought all kinds of opponents for most of his life. He has a very mobile fighting style and can use almost any weapon effectively. He's also quite adept at making due with whatever he has on hand and using that as a weapon. And if all else fails, he can always count on his own two hands.
His orcish heritage gives him minor resistance to slashing and piercing damage to his person, as well as some minor heat and cold resistance. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
He also has a pretty mean glare and can make nearly anyone think twice before messing with him.
Flaws
While he doesn't view it as a flaw, his obvious orcish features often put him at a large disadvantage in social situations. And in general Druuk is not good at handling social situations with grace.
While Druuk may put on the lone wolf act he is in fact quite afraid of being alone in his life. This will lead to him going to absurd lengths to help those he is with so that he doesn't lose them.
Equipment
Druuk doesn't have many possessions, and almost all of them are practical. While his preferred weapon is a flail he also carries a longsword and several javelins, along with a shield.
He also always wears a necklace that is a simple chain with a small ring on it. The ring belonged to his mother before she died.
