About Marius du'CaatDescription:
Clad in the armor and insignia of his order, Godclaw, Marius du'Caat strikes an imposing, near terrifying figure. His black enameled armor, seems to drink light creating a sense of despair for those who are about to receive his judgement. In battle, his surprising agility and speed, harken back to legends of ancient juggernauts who ruled the battlefield.
Once the armor is removed, the titan of a man who wears it remains an intimidating figure. His thick blond-brown hair is trimmed perfectly to avoid falling over his eyes and ears, while not being so short as to eliminate the need for him to groom it each morning. His great, square jaw is framed in a well-groomed blond-brown beard that hangs just a few inches below his chin. This perfectly shaped beard, has but one flaw, a knife edge thin line just to the right of his mouth, that starts at his jawline and rises up to his now, patched right eye. His left eye is stormy, green and sad, as if mourning for it's long lost mate. His nose is flat and wide from years of melee, though not grotesquely so. The rest of him, is as you would expect of a giant clad in massive armor. Corded with muscle, thickened by years of training and conditioning. His shoulders broad enough to fill the door frames he walks through and his hands large enough to securely grip a half-orc's throat. Personality:
Marius is a man obsessed with duty. Personal honor and ambition comes second to the fulfillment of his responsibilities as a Hellknight of the Godclaw (enforcing righteous laws) and as a worshipper of Abadar, cultivating civilization.
He does not consider the "wilds" or "chaotic" aspects of creation to be anathema to his goals, but rather sees them as the natural resources by which civilization builds itself and strengthens the bonds of community. He personally, has great respect for the God Erastil, and likely would have become a follower had he not be raised in the Urban areas of Brevoy. His Lawful Neutral alignment is misleading, as he truly believes that an orderly civilization is the greatest good one can work for, and would happily lay down his life to protect that ideal and the people who make up his community. And while that seems "good", he however, is willing to sacrifice others to ensure that civilization is protected as well. Outside of this, he is actually a lover of sports, participating in wrestling and feats of athletic prowess, enjoys a good bawdy bard's song and isn't afraid to crack wise among his comrades in arms. Back Story:
Julian du'Caat was lonely.
Here in Port Ice, young families passed by in the summer sun. Laughing, playing, loving one another. It reminded the old cleric of everything he'd sacrificed for the Protector of the First Vault. His youth. His right eye. But of all the things he'd given up, a chance at having a family stung the most. But it seemed Abadar was not without mercy. The boy was tall and broad, though thin from malnourishment. His Ulfen heritage clear in the bright blond hair that grew in thick, grease caked locks and the ferocity with which he was fighting the group of boys surrounding him and the beggar he was defending. Julian watched for a while before the numbers started to overwhelm the young man's ferocity. Then he stepped in, chasing away the miscreants, before tending to the young orphan's bruised. "What's your name boy?" He asked. "Marius." --------------------------------------- Marius was lonely. Julian had been his only friend — his only family — for nearly 10 years. And now the old Cleric had gone to be judged by Pharasma and claim his rightful place in the afterlife. And now he was alone again. In a strange, lawless land, far from the cool misty shores of Port Ice. This Greenbelt, was a place of bandits and wild creatures. Without order, without justice, without peace. But there was some beauty in this land. Illiana, fiery and enticing. But strong willed and fickle. Still Marius loved her. --------------------------------------- "How dare you!" Illiana screamed. "I dare because you are my mate!" Marius roared back. "And that makes you think you own me? That you have some measure of control over me!?" "I have rights as a husband! Expectations as to how my wife should act! That she would at least show me some loyalty! "I am not your wife you fool! I never have been. You were but a toy! A temporary amus---" She never finished her insult. The sharp snap of a palm across her cheek stopped it. A mortified look washed over the young man's face at what he had done. "Illiana, I'm…I'm so sorry…I…" Laughter came from the woman. Sinister laughter of hatred and rage. "Leave. Leave and never return to the Greenbelt. Or I will kill you and all who travel with you. I promise you this, you stupid little fool." [ooc]What Illiana is, for GM approval Illiana --------------------------------------- "Marius du'Caat, you have proven yourself a champion of order. A protector of justice and a follower of the Pentamic faiths. I am honored to elevate you to the rank of Hellknight and grant you full rights under the Order of the Godclaw." The Paralictor said as he placed a hand on the head of the Ulfen male. "I am also pleased at your ambition to bring the law to the lawless. I grant you permission to travel to Brevoy and join their expedition to establish order in the Stolen Lands." Marius rose and saluted the Paralictor. "The Stolen Lands, eh?" Hrraggar asked the newly ordained Hellknight. "Well I suppose they could use a good Forgemaster there. Probably good gold in it for me too." The Dwarf laughed and waddled over to his pony mounting it. "Yes Hrraggar, I'm sure there's plenty of gold to be made there. You greedy old rock head." "Har, greed is when you want Gold that isn't yours. I only ask a fair price for my work. I can't help it that my work is the best all of Avistan."
