To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

@Feisty-Pants Just a heads-up, benevolent dragons are merely uncommon rather than exceedingly rare.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

@Feisty-Pants
Artwork is indeed acceptable, though most critters take the form of a specific humanoid race.

@Feisty-Pants Now I want my thief-to-be to know your dragon... I like dragons...

Just wait to see her CS. He might not like her. XD

@Feisty-Pants

In all fairness, knowing someone and liking someone are not always the same. I look forward to both your character sheets.

Okay, so about teens to 20something in human years. Sorry for asking so many questions, just fleshing things out. ^^

@Feisty-Pants

Early twenties at most and no worries, questions are a good thing.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

<Snipped quote by Mardox>

How young is young? I'm only asking since lore-wise, people generally have a wide range of ages.

And will she have a humanoid form? ^^

@Feisty-Pants

Barely an adult and yes, if she knows a spell to transform.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

This is interesting and I'm looking to get back I to writing for RPs with a bang after a long hiatus

Are PCs allowed to be dragons?

@Feisty-Pants

Young dragons, yes.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

@Mardox

Oh right, sorry, I forgot I wrote his size in two areas, it's fixed now!

@Claw2k11

There we go, feel free to place him in the Characters tab.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

All changes were made accordingly, you may re-inspect the sheet.

@Claw2k11

Backstory's fixed but you still haven't altered his size.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

Will fix the mistakes now, as for the questions

1. Well, he is something of a very rare special orc(genetic-wise), like one in a million sort of thing, though it can be changed that he is only a head bigger than other orcs.
2. Yes, he was wounded, though nothing life-threatening, it has left quite a few scars on hin
3. Well, when there are rumors of huge riches, it's enough to unify a large group of raiders in hopes that there actually a lot of riches in the place that has rumored riches.
4. Erjak is not sure himself what they are, he just knows that they are very dangerous.

@Claw2k11

Sounds good, I would appreciate it if you altered it to only a head bigger.

To Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

Is this good? Also, I'll get the half dragon out tomorrow.

Erjak the Savage

Name: Erjak the Savage

Sex: Male

Race: Plains Orc

Age: 31

Religion: He and his clan follow no true deity, instead they have a set of beliefs that they follow that specify that one must keep the world at balance... or peace, else evils beyond this world might be attracted by the chaos of the world, causing it to be consumed in a endless abyss, however, not even he knows how these beasts exist, he is not sure even if these beings exist, however he is sure that something will arrive and then, not even the dragon Htraknu will be able to resist.

Backstory:

Since he was a little orc, Erjak has always been a bit different than most orcs. First of all, he was nearly twice the size of his fellow orcs, making him quite a sigh to behold. His mind however was another piece of work, he was very inquisitive and he trained both his mind and his already quite large body.

Erjak had the fortune of being born as the son of the one of the clans that formed the Karanos Tribal Confederation and though orcs do not necessarily follow the son of their leader as he has to prove his strength, he has had no trouble doing that, being born both with a great mind and a great physique, he earned the respect of both his clansmen and the leaders and clansmen of the other tribes that formed the tribal confederation of orcs.

Most of his life has been a normal one in terms of an orc, he had no real conflicts that he could speak of and no tragedies that affected his family or his clan and other than a few raids coming from orcs that did not follow the confederations mantra there were no large battles in the tribe... though these raids have allowed him to get one some hands-on experience in terms of combat.

Until the age of 24, nothing serious had come in Erjak's way, however, only a day later a massive raid was launched by a force of unified orcs with only rape, slavery and plunder in mind. Erjak had never seen raids in which there more than 100-200 orcs present, however, this raiding force had more than a thousand orcs, all with the purpose in mind to plunder the riches of this confederation. And though the raid was pushed back(barely), thanks to Erjak's savagery inspiring his fellow orcs, there were great losses in his own clan, including nearly all of his siblings(5 brothers died and 2 of his sisters were kidnapped) save for one brother and one sister.

Needless to say, the Karanos Confederation was not pleased and as such, they decided to amass a force of orcs to chase these raiders back to wherever they were going since they were moving woefully slow due to their plunder. At first, his father was chosen to lead this army, however, due to having sustained a wound, Erjak was placed as leader of the army.

Erjak allowed his rage to take over him and instead of using any actual strategy, he simply charged at the force and started butchering any hostile orc that entered his sight and though the allied orcs fought with less rage than he did, they too hewed their way through the raiders. Erjak's merciless nature and savagery during the battle gave him the nickname that he would try to remove his life... Erjak the Savage.

After killing the raider force nearly to a orc(with a few of them escaping), he returned back to his clan, bringing back what the raiders stole and much more, enriching the Karanos Tribal Confederation all the more.

As the years passed yet again, Erjak started hearing rumors about a being, a being called Htraknu, a dragon rumored to search for ways to take over the world and tear down the gods from their pedestals and as it stood, such a being was too dangerous towards the balance, as such, the High Chief and Chief Council decided unanimously that he had to be stopped at all costs.

And when they heard that the other races were trying to stop them, then all the better. Considering that they all needed to face a common foe, they sent their strongest warrior to serve as the Confederations representative towards the other kingdoms and if they needed him any further, then all the better.

Motivation: As his beliefs specify, beings that seek to threaten the balance of the universe must be swiftly dealt with and Erjak truly believes that only by keeping the world state of peace and balance that it can truly prosper and Htraknu and his minions very much threaten this balance.

Magic: No magic here!

Skills/Strengths:

Erjak is big, nearly twice as big as other orcs and twice the strength of most other orcs, which means, he is very powerful. He is also, much more intelligent and much more knowledgeable than his kin, having read many books by foreign scholars on many different topics. Again, defying the standards of his own race, Erjak despite his intimidating size, is quite charismatic.

Weaknesses:

Erjak probably has one of the shortest tempers you might see, even for a orc. A few misplaced insults, or even a few friendly jabs might make him snap, no matter of they are friend or foe. Not even he knows why he loses his temper so quickly and while he has tried to work on it, he hasn't made much progress in this point.

Gear:

A Full set of chainmail and plate armor.
His Zweihander
A few leather-bound books about various topics.
A warbow
Two Short-swords
2 Orcish Bloodkin(basically his personal guards)

@Claw2k11

Big problem with the backstory. Nobody actually knows Htraknu is plotting to take over the world and kill the gods yet. Furthermore, I want to be sure you've factored in the fact that Htraknu only woke up twenty years ago. I also have a few questions. 1. Why is Erjak so big? 2. Given that anger grants determination rather than skill, did Erjak receive any wounds in that battle where he went berserk? 3. Why did the raiders unify? Surely there must have been easier targets. 4. These evils beyond the world, you've called them both beast and being, which are they?

Once we work out all the issues, you'll be good to go.
