Favourite sayings:

'Drink is the evil that makes deamons of ordinary men'
'I'll look after you now, mother'
'How about you and me put down this steel and meet flesh to flesh outside'

His father had settled after a Kellid raid to retrieve resources from the peaceful lands around the northern River Kingdoms. He found a local woman, with whom he fell in love and gave up his Kellid ways. The man and woman married and he tried his hand at mining, where his great strength would be used to his advantage. Unfortunately, life in the mines and the loss of his Northlands, meant he drank more and more.
Gorax's father became an alcoholic and a drunkard and abusing his mother. Gorax killed his father after his father came home drunk one day and started up again on his mother. The abuse meant he rarely did much at school, but was renowned for his strength. He doesn't like taverns or people that drink, especially to excess. He is of course tea total. He only goes in Taverns if he really needs to, preferring to stay outside, or even stay in the stable rather than take a room at the Inn. He has grown to understand that people go to meet in taverns for business, so knows he must enter sometimes.

The huge brute of a boy, has always been good with his fists, since he needed to use them to keep his father from hitting him as well. His siblings a younger brother and 2 sisters grew to rely on Gorax for protection.

At school, several boys/girls befriended Gorax, as he would provide protection. For despite his strength and size Gorax was not a bully, and always seemed to want to protect the weaker folks.

He has found it difficult to keep a job with his views on alcohol. At the beginning, several tavern owners thought he would make a good bouncer, because he could be trusted not to drink. But more than one reveller has been severely injured after drinking too much and suffered at Gorax's hands. Drinkers started to stay away from Taverns where he was stationed.

He tried his hand at the city militia/guard, but even they thought his attitude too much to handle, so he was asked to leave. They did however managed to teach him the the way of the sword and shield. He is now proud of his skills handling weapons, but you can't beat a good punch-up.

He as had a go at prize fighting, where he started to do well, but he didn't loose when he was told to. Which meant several important men lost a lot of money in gambling on his fights.

Now all that seems left is to go off so seek work or adventure anywhere that can offer rewards he could share with his family. Gorax has heard that a team of explorers into the 'Stolen Lands' is in need of some muscle. With a warrant from the lords of Brevoy, he sees an opportunity to provide a new and stable home for his family, where he can be in a privileged position as a founder of a new kingdom.

Young, but large and brutish with a nose at an angle, typical of a boxer. He has large cauliflower ears, his black hair dirty and ragged is tied in a ponytail down to his shoulders. Under black bushy eyebrows, gray eyes peer out surrounded by scarred tissue. His hands in huge tarnished gauntlets look large and powerful. He wears a brown dirty, torn shirt over his chainmail. A longsword is hung by his side, it looks only slightly cleaner than the rest of him. On his back rests a shabby, but very study backpack. His head down, he lumbers across the courtyard, but at second glance, he seems much lighter on his feet than you would imagine.

Choose from traits:

Combat
* Courageous: Your childhood was brutal, yet you persevered primarily through force of will and the hope that no matter how hard things might get, as long as you kept a level head you’d make it through. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against fear effects.
* Deft Dodger: Growing up in a rough neighborhood or a dangerous environment has honed your senses. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Reflex saves.
* Reactionary: You were bullied often as a child, but never quite developed an offensive response. Instead, you became adept at anticipating sudden attacks and reacting to danger quickly. You gain a +2 trait bonus to Initiative checks.

Faith
Indomitable Faith: You were born in a region where your faith was not popular, yet you never abandoned it. Your constant struggle to maintain your own faith has bolstered your drive; you gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saves as a result.

Social
* Poverty-Stricken: Your childhood was tough, and your parents had to make every copper piece count. Hunger was your constant companion, and you often had to live off the land or sleep in the wild. You gain a +1 bonus to Survival checks, and Survival is always a class skill for you.

Kingmaker
* Brigand: You hail from the River Kingdoms or the more lawless reaches of Brevoy. Life has been hard for you. Perhaps your parents and siblings were crooks and con artists, or maybe your rough, lonely life lead you to fall in with thieves and worse. You know how to ambush travelers, bully traders, avoid the law, and camp where no one might find you. Recently, you’ve run into some trouble, either with the law or with other bandits, and you’re looking to get away to somewhere no one would ever think to look for you. An expedition into the rugged
wilderness seems like a perfect way to lie low until the trouble blows over. You begin the campaign with an extra 100 gp in ill-gotten gains. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks when dealing with brigands, thieves, bandits, and their ilk.
* Issian: You were raised northern Brevoy, a land of misty shores and harsh hill lands, of snowy vistas and violet-hued mountains. You are descended from an able and intelligent people, and you have grand ambitions, a mind alert for opportunity, and the tenacity to fight for
your goals no matter the challenge. You care for little more than achieving your aspirations and opportunities to win wealthy and grandeur, for which few costs prove too great. You see yourself as a citizen of Brevoy through and through. The call for champions willing
to help take back your country’s rightful holdings in the Stolen Lands has inflamed your dreams of profit and possibilities, so you have joined an expedition to quest south. Your agile mind grants you a +1 trait bonus on all Will saves made to resist mind-affecting effects.
* Rostlander: You were raised in the south of Brevoy, a land of dense forests and rolling plains, of crystalline rivers and endless sapphire skies. You come from hearty stock and were raised with simple sensibilities of hard work winning well-deserved gains, the importance
of charity and compassion, and the value of personal and familial honor. Yours is the country of the Aldori swordlords and the heroes who refused to bend before the armies of a violent conqueror. You care little for matters of politics and nobles or of deception and schemes. As you are thoroughly Brevic, the call for champions willing to expand your land’s influence into the Stolen Lands has inflamed your sense of patriotism and honor, and so you have joined an expedition to quest southward. Your hardy nature grants you a +1 trait bonus on all Fortitude saves.
* Sword Scion: You have lived all your life in and around the city of Restov, growing up on tales of Baron Sirian Aldori and the exploits of your home city’s heroic and legendary swordlords. Perhaps one of your family members was an Aldori swordlord, you have a contact among their
members, or you have dreamed since childhood of joining. Regardless, you idolize the heroes, styles, and philosophies of the Aldori and have sought to mimic their vaunted art. Before you can petition to join their ranks, however, you feel that you must test your mettle. Joining an expedition into the Stolen Lands seems like a perfect way to improve your skills and begin a legend comparable to that of Baron Aldori. You begin play with a longsword or Aldori dueling sword and gain a +1 trait bonus on all attacks and combat maneuvers made with such weapons.
