Character

Character Name: Guthrie
Spawn Location (Khulu Desert, Orraku Fields, Icenfjord, Aridian Jungle): Khulu Desert
Gender: Male


General Background Information:
Guthrie was an elf born into an unnamed village which he had never left. It was about 3 acres long, and completely surrounded by water. The citizens grew medicine, fished for food, and drank the water surrounding them.
The town had stood for generations, never touched by outsiders. Nobody bothered to cause any harm to them, for they showed no threat to anyone. This left the town completely unprepared for what was to happen on the night of the 50th full moon...
[More background: A colony of orcs had existed in a cave directly underneath Guthrie’s town, yet the two civilizations had never known of each other's existence. One night, despite the thousand year tradition, an orc had strayed from the pack’s cave. He encountered Guthrie, who was fishing much too close to the orc cave.]
Guthrie had never spoken about his encounter with the orc with anyone, yet the thought still lingered on in his mind for multiple fortnights. Being cautious/paranoid, he had forged himself the only halberd the village had ever had. It turns out that he needed it after all, for on the night of the 50th full moon, the orcs organized a raid and blitzkrieg on Guthrie’s island.
The entire town was burnt down leaving only Guthrie and his brother Samuel alive. The two brothers left by wooden raft after Guthrie barely stopped an orc from beheading Samuel. They stayed on the raft for days, looking for a glimpse of land opposite their burnt home island. 5 days passed, and Samuel had lost it. After passing into a saltwater ocean, Samuel had begun to ignorantly drink the salty ocean water. Samuel went mad with dehydration, and threw himself into the ocean by effect of a hallucination.
Just later that evening, Guthrie landed at a beach. He raced as fast as he could throught the forest behind it, till he found himself at a spring. He drank from the spring for a half hour, then looked up to see an enormous Inn, with a sign which spoke, “kiwike.”


Physical Condition/Description (what do they look like, what do they wear, all physical elements of a character):
Guthrie stands an exact 6 feet tall, standing tall above most elves. He has pale skin, except for his back which was burnt red during the blitzkrieg of his home island. He has shaggy brown hair and dark blue eyes.


What is your character's main objective? What do they wish to gain out of this experience of living?:
After the blitzkrieg incident, Guthrie soon became obsessed with the science of fire. He became not crazy, but dedicated... Dedicated to finding the boiling point of every substance.

a sea elf yay!

[Sebiale]

Oh look another elf.

Why did the orcs attack?

[guthriearmstrong]

elves are pretty ideal creatures for RP.

Well, they're orcs. Orcs are dicks.

[Crashlander04]

orcs aren't dicks. they're just misunderstood

Guthrie kind of has you trumped--Tolkien basically invented Orcs as we know them, though he had his own influences of course.

I'm not sure about that. i can agree on the fact Tolkien has re-invented orcs. or at least gave them some sort of standardization but that doesn't mean any of all orcs have to be like that. The most general conception of orcs are green or brown beings. While dem in lotr are black and even wear armor. But normally they live in tribes under harsh conditions with a rural monarchic system and leather cloth at most. This makes them by nature strong and fight willing but does not mean they are always aggressive. the leader of orcs is the most strong one but the adviser is most commonly known as a shaman who looks into the spirits of the past and future combined with some nature magic to give advice to the chief orc and he also advice's on peace.

What they do have is a strong sense of revenge,tradition, and clan. And seeing the biographic of elves the shaman might have thought they were ruining their burying ground or that raiding you're village could wield them something the shaman needed despertly, medicine for some disease for example?
