| So, I was thinking about using a character who for once isn't connected to ANY of my other chars...
Brief overview: This is a half-orc character I came up with once. He WAS a blacksmith, but I'm not sure if I'd keep him as that or have him do something else with his brawn... and I wasn't intentionally trying to base him off of pre-existing half-orcs (such as the ones in D&D), since I know little about orcs in the first place.
Strengths: Natural- *Physically strong; able to do heavy-lifting, although it isn't herculean strength he's got *Great stamina *Intimidating; given his height and build and the fact that Nicolae looks kind o' mean anyway, he has the possibility to intimidate others *Tough-skinned; his skin is slightly tougher than that of an average human *Sharp teeth; especially the canines, which are not unusually long but are unusually sharp
Magical- N/A
Supernatural- *Animals; wild, tough animals seem to calm down around Nicolae unless/until he triggers a fight-or-flight reflex *Slightly increased hearing
Learned- *Blacksmithing and weapons knowledge; knows how to weild heavier weapons *Some improvization knowledge
Weaknesses: *Heavy; makes swimming and moving quickly an issue *Slower reflexes and agility (also not the sharpest tack in the box) *Suspcious of dwarves and elves as a whole and others who easily associate with them *Fits of rage/bezerking *Not 'zactly pretty looking; funny colored skin, generally mean looking, gruff speaker, and very hairy *Not magically inclined at all *Can't stand temperature extremes *Isn't a gentleman; he doesn't go out of his way to be a mean person, but his orcish blood can make him into a rude, boorish fellow on occasion *Lack of feeling; his tougher skin doesn't make for a good sense of touch, and there are times where he might not feel a hot pot on his skin or a cut somewhere on his person
... That's all I've got right now. XD I really haven't touched the fellow since I made him back in... 2007, I believe? I'd appreciate some input on him, even if I end up never using him in Skuldhellir.
On the other hand, COULD I make him a bit of a gentle giant? I think my original idea of him was that his human blood and possible upbringing might've toned down his orcish half, and being a blacksmith around humanoids had sort of taken some of the edge off of any savageness he could've had. I have no idea if it'd be an okay break away from orc-ish clichés... | |

| Derp. Moron who can't sleep ahoy. Since this isn't official and just the construction thing, I thought I'd waste your time!
Strengths *Strength(*flex*): 3 *Stamina:2 *Intimidating: 1(while I say this would generally hit home, the town is quite used to orc invasions, and being a rough town as it is, I assume it'd lower that down. Dwarves don't take your shit.) *Thick Skin: 2 *Sharp teeth: 1 *He could run a petting zoo: 1 *Good ears: 1 *Blacksmithing and weapon knowledge: 3-4 (could really be useful in Skuldhellir) *Might star on Whose Line is it anyway: 1
Weaknesses *Needs to lay off the twinkies: 2 *Not sharp. Bad reaction time: 2 *Suspicious of dwarves and elves: 2 *Anger management: 2 *Unnattractive: 1 *Not magically inclined(if he's not weak to it, is it really a weakness as a warrior?): 0 *Can't stand extreme temperatures: 1 *Lacks class: 1 *Lack of feeling: 2
Strengths total: 15-16 Weaknesses total: 13
Approved as much as a nobody can do. I like the idea. I'm not sure the citizens will like an orc (half or not), wandering the town though. Which should be very interesting. | |

| "*Might star on Whose Line is it anyway: 1" *dies and is DEAD* I love how you reword my stuff, Kinz. XD Thanks for puttin' in some input! I'm pleased to see that big hulk of half-orc seems to be able to be balanced out. x3 | |
