Nako

Description

Blood and Shadows.

Reaching 6'9" in height when standing this young woman tends to loom except when in the presence of Giantborn. Even amongst her own kind her height gives her an appearance of lean grace over bulky mass even with her powerful physique. What was once a wild mane of hair has been tamed and woven into a multitude of dark crimson braids that allows long pointed pitch black ears to poke through. The braids reach her waist and flow about her gracefully with every movement. High rounded cheekbones lend a broad quality to her face, a strong jaw narrowing to a thinly squared chin giving an almost delicate air. Blue eyes are angled up towards sharp eyebrows; separated by a broad septum that angles out in a proud nose that flattens down like an arrow pointing towards her mouth. Thick full lips are painted red to contrast her pitch black skin and two inch long thick white tusks that are her canines protrude at the corners of her mouth.

She wears no armor and much of her powerful musculature is on display by the white clothing she does wear. Silver rings wrap strong biceps, etched with the symbols marking her of the Blackblood clan, as if her pitch black skin didn't do that on it's own. A wide strip of white cloth has been fashioned into a halter top style shirt to contain her chest, wrapped tightly around her ribs several times before buckling into place around her neck and body. Her stomach is bare and on display allowing unrestricted movement. Her waist narrows before flaring outwards at her hips and another white belt is wrapped and buckled there supporting an ankle length skirt. Under the skirt are loose pantaloons of black linen that hide the shape of her long legs except in the vaguest of senses. On her feet are a pair of ankle high soft soled black leather boots.

About My Character

A proud follower of the Three F's of survival, Nako tempers her Oruch passions with discipline of devotion to the path of the Monk. She follows Kor and as such, is always willing to fight, spar, or otherwise revel in the glory of combat. That doesn't mean she is stupid though, believing in taking advantage of every tactical choice possible to guarantee victory. It's not just about the fight, it's /winning/ the fights to prove to Kor that she is strong enough for his Halls.

Roleplay Hooks

• Monk - A disciplined Oruch? Then again, she is a fervent follower of Kor.
• Explorer's League - She is an avid member of the Explorer's League willing to take any job offering that is willing to take on a monk of her caliber. Away from her Clan, she seeks to grow in strength until she can return and make changes. That means, adventure! It also pleases Kor.

Oruch PC Badge Clan: Blackblood Clan. Role: A voice of Discipline looking to move beyond primal barbarian rages. Faith: Kor Honor: Honor is everything. Honor is ensuring that you treat others, how you will be treated. It is about rising above our baser urges and not letting them control you. It is life.

Strength is meaningless without Discipline. A whirlwind destroys everything around it, not just what is under it. Strength without discipline reaps what it sows.
