Name: Rogar Derrigan
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Hundi
Rank: 5 of swords
Appearance: A large man covered in muscle and checkered with scars, which serve as proof of his many battles. His ears take the form of the wolf's, battered and torn from countless fights. His hair is matted and wild, as is the fur on his tail. Rogar's head is sqaure and his features give him the air of a battle scarred warrior, but his eyes are keen and honest.
Personality: Rogar is an honest and straightforward person. He takes things as they come and acts according to what he believes is best. He lives life to the fullest and leaves the thinking to those better at it than him. He gives absolute loyalty to those that earn his respect and will fight till death for them, if need be. He's loyal, courageous and always on the positive side. He dislikes conflict between his friends and strives to keep the balance, and while he's not generally a smart man he's quite good at divining people's feelings.
Brief Backstory: As a child Rogar's life was defined by his curiosity. He wanted to know anything and everything about his surroundings, though in the end he had never stuck with anything for long. He and his parents lived with their siblings in a small town in Ithillin. He and his siblings were trained in the art of battle, as was common in Hundi families, but Rogar showed less motivation for it than his siblings. This worried his parents, but the simple truth of it was that he had nothing to aim for. Had he stayed the way he was it was likely he would've become a rather mediocre warrior, settling down early and whiling his years away looking after his children. This changed one day, when he caught a glimpse of the wider world.
It was a fateful encounter. A wandering bard had stopped at the village to replenish their supplies before heading on their way. Curious as he was Rogar decided to follow them outside of the village. Not long aftewards, however, the traveler was beset by monsters. Rogar could do nothing but watch, but as it turned out that was all he needed to do. The stranger drew their sword and cut them down with incredible skill. Amazed, Rogar watched on. Soon after the battle was over, and the stranger discovered Rogar. Rogar made to run away but the stranger beckoned him closer. What followed was an evening of stories and music, as the enamored Rogar was told tales of strong warriors, wise magicians and courageous adventurers. The stranger told Rogar that they were also an adventurer. Time passed and the next morning Rogar returned to the village, burning with passion.
When Rogar was 16 he and his siblings left their home and went their separate ways. They went to test their skills, of course, but Rogar wished to find that stranger once more. He didn't know their name but he believed that he would find it eventually if he too became an adventurer. And so he went to the largest adventurer's guild, in the land of Estival, and quickly distinguished himself as a stalwart warrior. First one into the fight and the last one out, and he never surrendered. Even so he had never once seen the stranger again, though he hasn't given up on it yet.
Equipment: - Horn of the vanguard - A magical artifact he found in a dungeon during his adventuring career. Blowing it increases the strength and stamina of allies, and it also increases the enmity of nearby enemies towards the user.
- Common steel sword - Heavily due to use over a long period but maintained well.
- Steel kite shield - A large shield capable of covering most of the body if the user crouches behind it. Battered but strong.
- Light metal armour - Armour made of steel and leather, made to provide a reasonable amount of protection while maintaining mobility. Covers important areas but areas around the joints aren't protected as well.
- Steel helmet - A steel helmet with an open face. Rogar dislikes helmets as they restrict his vision and hearing. However, since it could be the difference between life and death, he reluctantly had a helmet made that fit on his head and that didn't restrict his vision too much.
Skills:Sword and shieldRogar's preferred method of fighting involves close ranged combat with blade and shield. Blocking, parrying, bashing and throwing are part of his repertoire. He focuses on versatility and can do many things well. He makes an effective front-liner for a party and is able to get by without a party, if need be.
GatheringRogar's parents gave he and his siblings a crash course in survival as they recognised the children would one day spend significant periods of time travelling. Rogar was especially good at it compared to his siblings and can forage the wild for some edible and medicinal plants. He has little formal knowledge, however, and doesn't know much that an experienced adventurer would not find out over the years.
CookingRogar was gifted with a keen sense of smell, a gift his mother recognised to be useful for cooking. She taught him several family recipes, most of which used small game that could be gotten from hunting. Rogar doesn't cook often as the special condiments needed for it are considered luxuries for adventurers. Even so he always carries some basic spices in case he needs them.
