Personality
Karuk is driven to make a name for himself and prove that he is worthy of the heritage of his orcish heritage. As a result, he is often at the forefront of combat, with songs of his tribe bellowed out in the middle of bloodshed. When not in combat, he prepares himself for the next battle. A trained warrior, he has little time for introspection or religious considerations.
Traits: Aggressive, Brave, Proud, Ruthless, Tough, Dreamer (Karuk, when alone, dreams of a time when orcs live free of persecution)
Drawbacks: Karuk is so focused on perfection with battle, that he finds himself uneasy and confused in more diplomatic situations. He will often speak without thinking. He doesn't value those who don't show their worth in physical combat.
Current Activity
Karuk spends his free time sweating his way through weapon practice. He will often seek out other fighters to spar with to hone his skills. When not fighting, he can also be found in the local tavern sharing strong drink with those he has sparred with.
Background
Karuk was born and raised in a Thesk orc settlement near the Golden Way. He drove himself hard to compete with the often stronger full orc children of the settlement and won their grudging admiration for his fierce tenacity. Soon, he joined other clan mates, becoming a mercenary warrior for hire.
He and his sister, Shazuna, explored the Citadel of Flame with Lori and Kami.
