(The following character hails from Tobey's fantasy roleplay at www.itheia.proboards106.com/index.cgi.)
Name: Orko Borgok (Oh my goodness! Last names in a fantasy roleplay? )
Age: 24 (approximately 20 in human years)
Species: Sakwa [www.itheia.proboards106.com/index.cgi?board=races&action=display&thread=1145655642]
Ethnicity: Sakwa-Sati/Sakwa-Dit
Gender: Male
Homeland: The Southeastern Marshlands (The Delta)
Appearance:
Height: 7’ 7’’
Weight: 210 lbs.
Orko’s basic proportions are that of an average male Sakwin. In contrast, his facial features are almost feminine; he has greenish-blue skin, a long face, and a thin nose. Strikingly bright blue, his eyes seem to penetrate everything they see with vaguely detached amusement. His ears are long and a bit pointed.
Orko’s clothing fits loosely around his lanky body. Over a light brown undershirt, he wears a burnt orange jacket with brownish-red cuffs. His trousers, which are also brownish-red, reach his lower thighs. His accessories include a long, brownish-scarf and a wide-brimmed, leather hat.
A flexible, seven-foot long, wooden staff serves as his primary weapon. When not using it, Orko ties the staff to his waist with his scarf.
Personality:
Orko has always lived in the periphery of Sakwin society. His mother is Sakwa-Sati, while his father (now deceased) was Sakwa-Dit. As a result, Orko and his younger sister never quite fit into their Sakwa-Sati wikra, though they were tolerated by most and befriended by a few during their childhood.
However, the attitudes of the other Sakwa changed when Orko, at the age of twenty, began to show romantic interest in Kala, a female of his own age. Their relationship was purely flirtatious, and yet her parents feared that the “Sakwi-Anu” would seduce and disgrace their innocent daughter. They spread rumors that Orko and Kala’s relationship was impure, and a few threatened to kill Orko for daring to spread his tainted blood. Orko ignored their intimidations and continued to court Kala, even daring to hold her hand in public. Finally, after waking in the middle of the night, he found his family’s home surrounded by Sakwi with spears. After a brief but nearly fatal struggle, he dove into the marshes and disappeared among the reeds. He lay on the banks of the river, bleeding from his side for several days. Once he recovered, he swam slowly upstream until he reached the point where the estuaries met the Great River. Having lost all hope that his race could accept him, Orko disappeared into the rain forest, never to enter a wikra again.
It is therefore not surprising that Orko looks at the world rather cynically and often distrusts the motivations of others. Strongly individualistic, he usually minds his own affairs; however, he won’t hesitate to fight on behalf of a victim of grave injustice. His cynicism is tempered by his dry humor and willingness to befriend those few who can penetrate his cool exterior and sympathize with him.
Orko is very intelligent and perceptive. However, having lived outside of the Southeastern Marshlands for only four years, he has yet to discover many other cultures and races. He has a fairly limited vernacular vocabulary, but he finds ways to express himself by combining words in unusual ways.
