I rolled fairly average. But this is what I made of it:Name: EricRace: Half-Orc Class: Monk (will be Way of the Open Hand)Background: AcolyteLevel: 110 STR (+0)16 DEX (+3)12 CON (+1)10 INT (+0)14 WIS (+2)10 CHA (+0)(Stats rolled 4d6 drop lowest: 8,10,10,11,14,16)HP: 9AC: 15Quarterstaff +5, d8+3 / d10+3Unarmed Attack +5, d4+3Skills: Intimidation +2, Religion +4, Insight +4, Acrobatics +5, Stealth +5Languages: Common, Orcish, Elvish, temple sign languageReviled by his Orc clan, the Many Arrows, for not only being half-orc, but for being built skinny, wiry, and to them, weak, he was mocked from birth and named “elf orc”, or “erc”. Cast out into the winter snows at a young age, he was found by a Elven monk of the monastery of Ilmater, who took the infant Erc in and gave him a new home, training him in the religious rites of his new deity and the physical rites that these monks adhered to.The monastery/temple was a place for silent contemplation, and so the monks were not permitted to speak when inside the walls, instead communicating in a complex and balletic form of sign language.Erc was renamed Eric, and proved a capable student, learning the rites of Ilmater and the twin languages of Elven from his deliverer and sign as used only at the temple; though his half-orc nature caused him mental turmoil as the mark of Gruumsh was upon him. This struggle was clear to his brothers and to his finder, now a senior brother and priest of the temple. Eric was summoned and challenged with showing the dedication needed to become one of the priesthood, but failed the tests of faith, the divine magic not coming to him.The tests are an annual occurrence, and for three long years Eric trained and prayed and every year, the magic failed to imbue him.The senior brother took him aside and charged him with going into the world and finding some peace, taking his faith and his physical skills and testing them against what they saw as his unfinished business with his erstwhile clan. He was tasked with returning each year and each year to bring with him proof of his good deeds. And thus was born Eric, wearing the red wrist cords of his deity, on a quest to find his meaning in the world, and one day to find his tribe and come to peace or come to war with them; Ilmater would reveal the path he must take.(Future plans: at level 4 take Magic Initiate feat, go Cleric and learn Light and Mending as cantrips, and Inflict Wounds as his spell. It will be a sign that the healing power of Ilmater, when channelled through Eric and the mark of Gruumsh, can heal objects but when used on living creatures can only inflict pain, not heal it; but the fact that the divine magic has shown itself to him reveals that Ilmater has plans for Eric yet, and he must endure...)</blockquote>
