[QUOTE="Dekana, post: 4991863, member: 57009"] Okay, here's take two at Kraken, this time as a Fighter. [B]1. Archetype:[/B] Warforged Servant [b]2. Backstory: [/b] For a being who was specifically created for bloodshed, Kraken, an earlier model warforged, has not seen very much combat. He was assigned to the front upon his creation, but he found himself most often tasked with menial labor - preparing earthworks and fortifications while the fleshy warriors would gain the glory for themselves. Kraken watched the battles from a distance until disaster finally struck and his batallion was destroyed on the open field. As he had been back at the fort at the time, Kraken survived. He was eventually reassigned back to the home front as a bodyguard. [B]3. Description: [/B] Kraken is bulky and very heavy, as typical for warforged. What most distinguishes him are his eyebrows which are solid, protruding masses from his face. His arms are also slightly too long for his body's proportions - these "tentacles" are what he derives his name from. Initially, he had a strong jealously, and even anger, at the human warriors who relegated him to a noncombat role. But after months of slow, menial work, he began to understand that many subtle actions lead to the success of an army. Kraken overthinks matters and is slow to decisions. He often sees personal relationships as a military hierarchy, not yet having fully adjusted to his new job. [b]4.
