appearance

There he is, standing 8ft tall*, bigger than any orc you've ever seen. A man, long black hair loose in the wind, a couple of thick dreadlocks held by silvery wires. He scratcthes his dark beard lazily, and yawns, spreading a not-so-refreshing reek of booze. Must have been a long night. A black, leathery hide armor, long to the knee and stripped away by a fearsome Astral Stalker, ripped on the chest and the arms, reveals big, hard muscles, and they look like they could lift hills. Battered iron armbands and half-gloves with sturdy metal knuckles cover his arms, a heavy torque of lead at the neck.
He's spinning and rolling on his arms, hands and shoulders a big, jagged axe giving off a menacing sparkle, like a juggler would play with a light rod. He moves slowly, like a bear that just got out of its long sleep.
A split second later, you see a blur, hear a roar that shakes your skull, and then no more. The Storm has come, and went right through you.

background

Anostor Duran was born in a far away world, in a big, strange place called the Imperium, from Kratos Duran, a soldier, a renowned commander of the empire, and, most of all, a strict father.
Too many rules didn't do much good, though, because even though Anostor displayed great strenght and endurance since a very young age, when he entered the first military academies, he also showed to have absolutely no love for discipline and military life. When in his Teens he was unished for the hundredth time, and kicked most of an instructor's teeth out of his mouth, his old man first beat him senseless, and then brought him on a warcamp in a frontier land where he had been assigned.
Figuring out that defying his father would be way tougher than ditching lessons at the academy, Anostor waited for a moonless night, and fled.
There started the first adventures of a man that would later become a living legend. He started out gaining experience in mercenary war bands, on ships of varying moral nature, occasionally as a bandit, though of mild character. In those early years, he started to develop his neverending love for booze and women.
Half of Bacarte was stunned by surprise when he seemed to settle, at age 18, with a fine, fair girl, and a son was born soon. Alexander, he named, wishing him future glory, and glory the child would eventually grasp, but that is another story.
Three short years later, Anostor was tired of the small brawls at the Drowned Man, and set off on a ship heading to some newly-rediscovered, ancient continent, and was never to be seen again by his family.
He traveled, sailed, fought and generally trashed ethics, and when the world itself had started to seem too small for him, he started roaming in other worlds.
His life of excesses and his incredible prowess in battle earned him a score of bardic songs and nicknames.
The Raging Storm, he was called by those that had witnessed the blinding speed of his axe. The Wyrm-Grappler, after he strangled to death a Red Dragon, after betting on it drunk. Or Roaring Duran, because of the noise he produced when he battered his foes against walls, or on the ground.
And then, perhaps less honorably, the Great Harasser, and even the Orc-lover, because of his hardly ethical behavior in regards to women; aside from the small army of half-elves, half-shifters, half-tieflings and what not, spread through at least five different planes of existance, and tales of a night in company of, some say four, some say more, succubi, perhaps the most renowned story tells of a time he got drunk with improbable quantities of a certain popular drink from his world of birth mixed with Black Dragon's acid and then got laid by the female shaman of an orc tribe. They say a young half-orc** is looking for him through the Near Isles...
And in fact, Duran the Fearless, after participating to a siege at the City of Brass (still got a tan after two years!), making clothes out of Abominations, and eating Slaad eggs for breakfast, is still scared of two things: his old man, and orc women.
