Here's Guntrik, half-orc fighter.[sblock=Guntrik]Abandoned at birth outside the Principality of Redhand in the Bandit Kingdoms, Guntrik was left to die and surely would have had he not looked so much like a pure bred orc. Believing he was of full orcish blood, Guntrik was taken in by a tribe of orcs from the nearby lands of Reyhu and raised as one of their own. Whatever weapon was placed in the growing half-orc's hands, he quickly mastered, though he came to favor the bastard sword and kite shield; or "sword and board" as he liked to call it. Even at a very young age, Guntrik was sent on raids with the rest of the tribe against the humans of Redhand.Guntrik always knew he was somewhat different than the rest of the orcs, and had his own suspicions about his half-human origins. Though he lusted for battle like the orcs, he saw no reason for their aimless raids lacking in any strategy other than loot and burn. He eventually left the tribe unnanounced and joined a party of bandits that made a living commandeering large shipments of goods or occasionally attacking a town if something of particular value was suspected to be there. This life suited him for some time, but the orcs were not content with his abandonment of the tribe. They found him eventually, beating him within an inch of his life and pressing a red hot blade against the right side of his face that has left a wicked scar marking him a traitor amongst the Reyhu orcs. He was too weak to go on with the bandits, and they too abandoned him.Miraculously, Guntrik recovered and left the Bandit Kingdoms forever. He knew it was no longer safe to stay there, nor was there anything there left for him even if it were safe to stay. He has since taken up the life of an adventurer, seeking wealth, fame, excitement, and companionship.[/sblock]Character sheet and what not soon to follow.</blockquote>
