Tusk


  • Narfell name- Hellsgentlemen
    GSID- TheNewBlack
    Character Name- Tusk

    Tusk is a hulking moron who is peered by none in that respect. He stands about 6"10 with a 400 lb frame to compliment his height. Also very noticable is one of his jutting tusks is broken and crafted into a necklace is the piece that broke off.

    Adorning his belt is several small goblin (?) skulls and a small keg with several crudely drawn X's on it. Tusk also likes hats…but his idea of hats is usually a dead animal of some form...usually a badger or a large rat.

    Now Tusk has never had it easy...even among orc children he was considered slow on the draw and never caught on quite as quickly. Albeit he proved a brute on the battlefield which none of his peers could overtake in their many sparring sessions. Somebody would strike him square in the face with a staff, and Tusk would just laugh and lay him out with a headbutt or a backhand across their face.

    Keep in mind...most orcs will pick up at least a smattering of English, at least enough to get their point across to dense travelers who were about to have their coinpurses ransacked. Tusk not only does not speak English, but never really picked up much in the way of Orcish...what he does speak is a crude mix of the two often undecipherable by others. It is known though that he refers to himself as Utsk and often communicates with poorly thought out hand gestures.

    Tusk made an amazing discovery though one night hanging out with some fellow warriors from his tribe. They thought it'd be funny to get him drunk and just sit back and let Tusk embarrass himself. After a couple giant swigs of Rat Drop Cider (which is a dead rat left to ferment with a mix of ale and swamp water) Tusk found himself able to express himself with little difficulty and able to speak perfect English and Orcish. Once made fun of for his excess stupidity, now the others made fun of him for his temporary intelligence.

    The last straw happened when his tribe was raiding a docked cargo ship when Tusk carrying an ax in one hand and a torch in another went to hack down a cargo hold door but dropped his torch on the deck to weild his ax with both hands. The Torch set fire to the alcohol soaked decks once used by the sailors..

    Accidentally setting fire to what was to be the biggest cash in for his tribe in some time, Tusk was sent off....declared more of a liability than an asset. Tusk spent most of his time away from his tribe living in the forests of Narfell. Watching adventurers make their way through the forests while he hid among the trees...

    Tusk after some time finally decided that he was ready to try and reconnect with society. Making some friends so far in his journey, he seems to be doing ok despite his lack of communication skills. Often wowing people with his well spoken elegant mannerisms upon his embibing alcohol of some form..he's so far become almost an attraction to passerbys..
