Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad_Jack" data-source="post: 6995161" data-attributes="member: 6750306">K'rik'ik't'kikK'rik'ik't'kik is a 3.5 E. kobold sorcerer/rogue who was passed over when the chance came to become the next apprentice to his tribe's sorcerer, for what passes as "political" reasons in a kobold tribe. He got no respect within his tribe at all, and was very angry about this. When the tribe was conscripted as cannon fodder by an evil wizard, K'rik was sort of adopted by the wizard as a pet/servant/assistant. The wizard found it amusing to dress K'rik as a human and watch him try to mimic the wizard's behavior. He even gave K'rik his own "spellbook", and managed to teach him a small handful of spells. In K'rik's mind, he was being trained to become a powerful wizard, and finally getting the respect he was due for his magical abilities. When the wizard's evil army was defeated by a party of adventurers and he was "freed" from his "servitude", K'rik'ik't'kik decided he'd earn even more respect and power as an adventurer. Although actually reasonably intelligent, K'rik'ik't'kik doesn't truly have more than a basic understanding of human behavior, culture, morals and ethics (and learned from an evil wizard, at that) - he mimics things that others do, but often has no understanding of why people do things, or don't do things. K'rik dresses as a typical adventurer and does his best to act in a way that he believes will get people to take him seriously. He's very eager to please people he holds in high regard and is constantly seeking validation and friendship from others. (Sort of like a psychotic version of Chester, the dog from the old Chester and Spike cartoons..."Wanna play fetch, Spike? Huh? Huh? You wanna play fetch?", but more like, "We kill 'em now, Boss? C'mon, I kill 'em for ya, Boss. I kill 'em good.")He often becomes frustrated when he doesn't succeed, though, and reverts back to his more kobold-like tendencies. He is essentially a functional sociopath who gets along well with others as long as he feels they respect him and his magical abilities. When he feels he's being disrespected, he tends to throw tantrums. And Fireballs. Unfortunately for K'rik'ik't'kik, while he insists that his name is a Draconic phrase (he doesn't actually speak Draconic) that translates into Common as "Heart of Dragons", as befits his sorcerous heritage... the literal translation of it is much closer to "Wyrmguts". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Lothenarion Lograrathion, 3.5 elf/orc hybrid"Lothar", as he prefers to be called, has an elvish father and an orcish mother. He's a fighter/rogue. Lothar has an 18 Strength, 17 Dexterity,  a 13 Intelligence... And a 16 Charisma. He's 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 250 lbs. of finely sculpted solid muscle - yet dresses as a fashionable fop (broad-brimmed hat with a plume and all) and carries a rapier and dagger. The combination of his elvish and orcish parentage has given him roughly handsome features, and with his high charisma Lothar is quite the ladykiller. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Which, of course, in no way detracts from his ability to kill other things... He once beheaded someone with his rapier.</blockquote>
