Karg

Beastheart. Thief. Animal Lover.
Pale-green skinned male Half-Orc. Messy dark-brown hair roughly tied up in a ponytail yet clean shaven. Clothes are often ragged and either self-repaired or patched together. Karg tries to live by society's rules, but his Beastheart connection to Zippy makes it difficult. His criminal history, feral outlook and random bursts of energy combine to make it hard to play by the rules.

Born in 12303, Karg was conceived in the Sera Sand-Sea. His father is Gunzar the Sand-Smasher, an Orc Chieftain that lead a large bandit tribe, and his mother was Elsma, a human kidnapped by the bandit group.

Karg spent the first few years of his life in the tribe but was looked down upon due to his mother being an outsider of the tribe and he was forced to live and work with the other slaves.
By giving birth to the Chieftain's child, Elsma was offered the chance to join the tribe along with Karg, albeit as low ranking members of the group, but because of her pride, Elsma refused. In response, Gunzar ordered both Karg and Elsma to be killed. Upon hearing this, Elsma came up with a plan to use Karg as a distraction in order to escape herself. She told him that she would make a distraction and that they would meet again away from the camp, but the plan backfired and she was caught while Karg managed to escape.
Due to his young age and lack of survival experience, Karg didn't make it far before passing out due to exhaustion and a lack of food. As he slept, he was saved by a stranger who took him in and helped him grow alongside the wildlife. It was during this time he met Zippy and formed their bond with each other.
Over the next several years Karg was trained to become stronger and faster, recognising the value in strength and being able to work in a group. This however, came at the cost of his ability to live civilised as he only interacted with animals and the stranger, who only taught him the basics of the world and Common. Once Karg was 10 years old, the stranger sent him out into the world to follow his own path.
As his hatred towards Gunzar grew over the years, Karg decided to form his own tribe in order to hunt down the bandits and wipe them out. Due to his upbringing, Karg found it difficult to form bonds with civilised people and he ultimately decided to hire others instead. Once again, his lack of social grace lead to him not being able to find a decent paying job and with Zippy's help, began stealing to make up the money. Despite his skills, outside factor like bad luck and unfortunate timing resulted in several attempts going poorly and leading to frequent run-ins with the law and Karg developing a poor reputation. This poor reputation made it difficult to find allies and reliable jobs, forcing Karg to constantly use what little money he was able to steal.
Karg would eventually hear of a unconventional opportunity with Burldries, one that he would have normally avoided if he hadn't suffered a larger-than-normal run of bad luck, and has decided to risk it and try and get ahead.

Motivations:

• Gain enough money to build an army and attack his father
• Acquire better equipment, preferably gear for dealing with magic or improving defenses.
