Backstory
Lym, born to a merchant and abandoned to a Nexian orphanage, is but one of many Half-Orcs born due to raids out of Belkzen. She is certainly not that unique in that she was raised by humans. What does set her apart, perhaps, is her desire for knowledge: Lym firmly believes that if she can add to the preservation of ancient knowledge and the discovery of new knowledge, she will lend worth to her existence. She has wandered around the land, even venturing as far as Chilaxia for a time before returning to the hills of home. Always has she sought knowledge; it is not only her goal, it is her sword, her shield, her power. As a person, Lym is introverted but compassionate, cautious but willing to do good. She may appear standoffish at first and does her best to hide her dual heritage, but she will not hide from what she perceives to be her duty.

Physical description
Lym is tall and broadl in the shoulders for a human woman. She is not overly muscular, but possesses a powerful frame which she hides behind loose robes of black cloth. She hides her green skin tone, red eyes and rather 'robust' features behind a black veil, which easily hides her short-cut, coarse, pale hair. Gloves of black leather round out the ensemble.
