Witch Hunt: Story of Stars

Azgrul

Name: Azgrul

Race: Orc

Gender: Male

Age: 36

Appearance: Standing at a height of 6'6 and combined with his muscular body, Azgrul exudes an intimidating presence. Despite this, he often has a smile on his face and generally has a relaxed posture to show that he is no threat to the common people. He has medium length brown hair whose excess he ties into a ponytail. He has many scars that liter his body from his many adventures though, most noticeably, is the one running down his upper right face which he had gotten from a bandit attack when he was younger.

Personality: Despite what one would expect from a warrior such as Azgrul, he is generally mild-mannered and polite, a testament to how he was raised by his adoptive parents. In social circumstances, he makes a concentrated effort to seem friendly despite his otherwise intimidating frame and, for the most part, it has worked. He's loyal to his cause and enjoys his line of work, finding it both exhilarating and oftentimes noble. Azgrul isn't so easily swayed by money, often weighing his own morality to decide whether or not he should take a certain job. Thankfully, with the Slayers, it is oftentimes hunting for monsters anyway.

He tackles each mission with vigor and a drive to see it through the end. Because of his gung-ho attitude when it comes to fighting, he oftentimes finds himself in the frontlines - sometimes acting as bait or as a distraction. He is very adventurous and never likes to stay in one place for an elongated amount of time. Azgrul has never been the religious type, never one to know which forgotten deity rules over what. He's always been curious about the witches but never would have thought such things would happen.

Element: Earth

Equipment:
- A warhammer with a pointed end on the other side for piercing damage
- Padded leather armor
- Hand Crossbow and bolts
- Knapsack with waterskin and rations

Skills:
- Navigation and Cartography From reading stars to reading maps, Azgrul isn't one to easily get lost. He's knowledgeable in the stars and constellation behavior which allows him to better navigate during the night. When he's in unchartered territory, he draws down the area.
- Tracking: A skill that he picked up from the Slayers, he can easily track down an animal and even other humanoids based on the tracks that they leave.

Abilities:
- Rock Armor: Azgrul covers hismself with the magic of his element that increases his constitution to superhuman levels, allowing him to tank hits without getting hurt. While rocks don't literally form around him, he is covered in a dark brown aura while this spell is active.

- Restrain: Several rocks portrude from the ground under the target. These rocks aim to prevent the target from moving while keeping them vulnerable to attacks. This, however, can be broken apart if strong enough or a mage can break Azgrul's concentration on the spell by making him take damage.

- Enhanecd Stregth: He is stronger than a regular orc, allowing him to strike with higher power as well as carry more objects for the party.

History: Born and raised in the outer towns of Mynol, Azgrul had been picked up by a human and elf couple when he was just a baby. They told him that his tribe likely died from an attack and he had been hidden well enough that he was safe from it. Azgrul was thankful to his adoptive parents for taking care of him and aided with all the work he could. Once he was old enough, he left home to join a mercenary band and hopefully be able to provide for his parents who had gone on to have four more children. Despite Azgrul's orc nature, his parents weren't very pleased with this decision but, nevertheless, let him go but made him promise to drop by and visit occasionally.

Azgrul learned how to harness his magic in more effective ways from the mercenary band as well as fighting efficiently. He had always been reckless during battle due to his better constitution which was only boosted by his usage of Earth magic. He had created many bonds with this group and it was then leader of the rebellion Ludrix Nacht who hired them for the rebellion. Seeing opportunity to perhaps gain favor from the man should he win, the group immediately joined up and fought battle after battle - slowly dwindling in numbers as the rebellion went on but they carried on. They all saw the contract to the end - whether it was the end of their life or the end of the mission.

The rebellion was sucessful and Nacht was proclaimed king. The company was rewarded for their efforts but their numbers have been cut so considerably that most went into early retirement. Azgrul and four others went on to join the Slayers so they can still generate income and still get a taste of the adventure they once had. Azgrul then on spent the rest of the decade hunting monsters, taking mercenary jobs and visiting his family. He doesn't spend too much time in Levia and is blind to the backstabbing the happens within the capital city of his home kingdom.

Azgrul had escorted a merchant to Saint Reginald when the attack transpired. He took arms with the Knights and took the merchant out of the city safely with his wares before helping other citizens as well. It had ravaged the entire city and soon town after town began to fall. Azgrul stuck with the merchant the entire time in the shelter and hoped that his family was alright. When the King had called for adventurers to stop the corrupted witches who had sent these monstrosities - as was claimed by the Order of the Five Spears - Azgrul did not hesitate to step up.

Witch Hunt: Story of Stars

A person can have proficiencies in more than one element yes?

Witch Hunt: Story of Stars

Quick question: How would self-buffing work in this kind of setting with the elements? I imagine it would fall into the element of Wind as support magic?

I'm planning to make a generally tanky type of frontline character

Mentions: @Ambra @Lucky @PrankFox @Jumbus
Location: Guild Lobby

Zaru hurried around Cloudsgate to finish his last minute deliveries for his mother's business. He got a few extra tips from the usual customers and he mentioned that he likely wouldn't be doing deliveries after this day. After all, he would be part of the guild and he would probably have a lot of better things to do! Zaru felt a little bad since his mother would actually have to hire a delivery Pokemon once he joined, but she did reassure him that she would be perfectly fine. It wasn't like their particular family to ever stay still anyway. They were proud that Zaru was doing something more with his life instead of letting the Shade dictate the rest of his days.

With the last parcel delivered, he scurried back to his mother's little shop that she had managed to establish after a few months. Zaru burst through the door and placed the pouch of Pokecoins onto the counter. The Infernape grinned at her son and patted his head. "You leaving for the guild orientation now?" She questioned as she collected the pouch and deposited it into a safer area.

"Yep. Just gonna grab a few things." Zaru responded as he vaulted over the counter and into the inner room. He collected his small pouch of berries and tied it around his waist. He grabbed an apple from the storage room and headed back out. "Alright ma, gotta jet!" He tightened the knot around his scarf and headed off - hearing the farewell of his mother as he began to run towards the guild. He was a bit late - the information irking him a bit - but he could still make it within an acceptable window.

Despite having called Cloudsgate his home for a year, it never settled well for any of the three to stay within these walls. The houses and buildings were monotonous - the same thing everyday. He headed towards the cliff where the base was situated in. He's practically memorized the layout of the city over the past months that he's been on delivery duty. He passed by one of his regulars and gave them a cheerful wave before continuing his dash.

He stopped to momentarily marvel at the architecture of the building. It was far more ornate than practically any other infrastructure in the city. He wondered who the Pokemon inside were, about the other recruits - and there was only one way to find out. Not one to dwell on his own thoughts for too long, Zaru quickly made his way inside. He stopped at the entrance of the lobby, scanning the inhabitants and concluding that it hadn't started yet. "G'day y'all!" He greeted everyone with enthusiasm. Spotting the basket of sweetbread from the Buneary, Zaru grinned and approached her. "Don't mind if I do then! Much appreciated ma'am." He cheerily said as he grabbed a sweetbread and began munching on it. His eyes sparkled as he quickly gulped down the bread. "This is really good." He complimented before growing silent as he focused on consuming the pastry.

Zaru the Chimchar

Name: Zaru

Age: Young [teenage years]

Gender: Male

Species: Chimchar

Ability: Blaze

Appearance: Appears like a typical Chimchar, however, he is smaller than the average of his kind. He has a couple of scars on his back from previous experiences but nothing to worry about. He has a distinctive green scarf tied around his neck that was given to him by his parents. Emblazoned on this green scar is a three circle formation that overlaps at the center surrounded by a fire symbol.

Personality: Adventurous and fun-loving, Zaru has never been the type to sit idly by. He tackles problems with a bright attitude and his full energy. He never leaves anything half-done as he feels like he should always finish what he started. One could even say that Zaru seems to have boundless energy, bouncing from place to place and helping wherever he can to earn some Pokedollars or two for his everyday lifestyle. With him, everything seems to speed up. He makes friends quickly, conversations go by quickly and he never stops and it makes one wonder why he feels the need to rush things.

He's grown accustomed to life in Cloudgate though resents the restrictiveness of his new life due to the Shade's influence. His parents always called him a free spirit like the rest of his family and ancestors, and it would only be a matter of time before he finds a way to be able to travel again.

Short Biography: Zaru's family never really called any place home. Travelers by nature, they hopped from village to village, sometimes staying days to months on end depending on the family's decision. They sold different kinds of wares that they had picked up or created during their travels and this had kept them afloat for many seasons. Zaru had enjoyed this kind of lifestyle, content with never staying put in one area for too long. Though this also contributed to him having little to no friends, faces always changing. This attributed greatly to his nonstop nature, making the best of every second that he has to cherish.

When the Shade had rolled in, traveling became difficult and soon impossible. It had only been a good thing that their family had reached Cloudgate before they were locked out. They had to settle into the big city and the family felt out of place first. They've never really thought about normal jobs. Thankfully, they were nothing if not adaptable. His parents soon found work that seemed appealing to them. Zaru spent most of his days in and out of places, doing odd jobs here and there for some extra pocket money and his parents didn't really mind. As long as he was enjoying what he was doing, then he was free to do whatever he had wanted.

Almost a year after that, during one of his errands, he had come across the flyer for Scorch's Guild. An exploration guild. That meant he could actually get out of Cloudgate - or at least, there was a possibility of it! Zaru didn't even need time to think about it. He wanted to enter almost immediately and he happily went on with his day. His parents had approved of the decision and just urged him to be careful.

Move Set:

• Ember
• Fury Swipes
• Flame Wheel
• Taunt

Equipment:

• Bag of berries for emergencies
• Flute

Other: Seems to be rather sensitive when talking about his scars. Knows how to play the flute well, which calms him when he finds that he isn't doing anything. He prefers agility over pure strength, greatly attributed by the fact that he is smaller than average.
