[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 2422163, member: 6115"] Me too... Err... interested that is. Character Concept: History is always clouded for the god-touched, yet Savas was a child born into a common farmers household with no foretelling of the rage within him. For some reason his growth was stilted, and he remained small and could do little to help his father with the work in the fields, while his mother and older sister wove simple garments to sell at market. Their small farm being on the edge of the town, was vulnerable and unprotected and it was a small raid of orcs which fell upon them, stealing their livestock. They hid under the tables, the doors shook upon their hinges as they pounded upon for entrance, as the boards creaked and strained, his sister forced him into the small dark cellar. Shutting the trapdoor, the door burst apart and the orcs stormed in. From beneath the floorboards, Savas watched in horror as they caved in his fathers skull with a mace, his body falling limp upon the floor. The real horror then began, his mother and sister raped and tortured directly above him. The blood of his kin ran down onto him. He began to shake and the floors trembled in response, his rage poured out and the world shook in fear. The orcs, interrupted in their business could hear the growl of what must have been an animal beneath them. An axe split the floor and they tore up the trapdoor to reveal Savas covered in the blood of his kin, eyes an empty white shaking in rage. Savas remembers nothing after the floorboards began to tremble as his sobs became growls, but the entire farmhouse was razed that night and no orcs were found. When Savas emerged from the embers, covered in the blood of his family, tears streaking his sooty-cheeks, he stood nearly a foot taller, bulging with a strength that no other youth could match. --- OOC Info: Human Barbarian/Fighter Deific Connection: Spirit of Rage Divine Aspect: When angry & raging, objects tremble or shake around him Plot Hooks: 1) Why was his birth not surrounded by the mystery of other god-touched, or was it? 2) The spirit-talkers are frightened that he is touched by the spirit of rage and that he is not fully in control 3) The spirit of rage speaks to him, attempts to whip him into a frenzy whenever it can. 4) His slaughtered families blood soaked into his skin empowering him, and is a voice which can retrieve him from the all-consuming rage and balance against the voice of rage.
