[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 4979518, member: 59043"] [B]Ursug[/B] / Kildrak [sblock=Background]Destined to be sacrificed on his 21th birthday, he flew his underdark city. After some unsavory contacts with humans ("A monster! Kill it!") he searches for some companions that appreciate his special talents. Still wild and dangerous, he still values the friendship of the other characters and accepts the rules of the surface out of respect for them. Short-time before Ursug Steelbark's 21th birthday: To satisfy his own curiosity and to gain additional respect from the other young warriors, spied at the city rulers (using his swarm shape) another time. Listening carefully, he begins to understand the old priest's brittle words: "... and therefore we have to kill him before it is to late. My visions warn us of a great traitor to our race and gods. We cannot let him live any longer. Tomorrow, Ursug has to be sacrificed..." Scared and shocked, Ursug sneaked back to the underwild mushroom forest he calls home, gathering his few possessions: his staff, spare clothes, the hide (chitin) armor and his backpack. Feeling like coward for fleeing and abandoning his chosen task, he entered the old priest's privat estate later for a last time and killed him in his sleep, stinging and biting him death. Afterward, he carved his name on the dead man's forehead and on it's breast: "Ursug is dead. Now there is only the Swarm, scrooge to the ones who were willing to sacrifice one of their own!" Alignment: Unaligned (near to hard-hearted ignorance, but can improve during the adventure) Languages: Common, Dwarven, Deepspeech Diety: No longer follows the Duergar cults, but venerates the spirits.
