Background
Spoiler:
Orik Rostov
1) Orik is from Tamrivena, in the southern part of the hold of Ustalav. His father, Piotr Rostov is an Ustalavian varisian human bard of the Pathfinder Society that was traveling through the town on a caravan and mother, Katrica was a half-orc ranger inhabitant of Trunau that originally moved to the town to escape from her tribe, the Haskodar. Piotr and Kat adventured together for years until their retirement to Piotr’s home in Tamrivena. They've raised three children at their inn a few miles outside of town, catering to well-behaved Orc traders, lastwall crusaders, other adventurers. Kat is renowned within the county for the size and deliciousness of the squash she grows, possibly as a result of her faith in Erastil.
2) Orik is a small half-orc with raven black hair that has been tied back into a short ponytail, and a full black beard around a prominent toothy maw. His skin is olive-grey and eyes are like pits of coal. He is friendly and generous but is usually quiet, and tends to speak plainly and truthfully. He is comfortable in smaller towns and villages, and in the the boundary areas on the outskirts of civilized lands. He tends to speak in aphorisms that can sometimes unsettle people that aren't used to their unusual nature.
3) Orik learned rangerly things from his mother (he doesn't take much after his father) and learned how to hunt well. Understanding the prejudice that half-orcs frequently receive, Kat trained Orik to fight humans more effectively. She also gave him secret training that was past to her from her grandfather, an orcish shaman. He's competent at wrangling beasts though he sometimes lets them get the better of him inadvertently, as he's not as competent as other rangers due to a different training. He learned some of the tales of wandering pilgrims from his father, and internalized the tales as part of his devotion to Erastil
4) He was a nominal follower of Erastil until he came across some Usalav city slickers that had come south for a beast hunt from Lozeri. They began hunting the game to extinction in the area around the inn, and despoiling the land. Orik got into a fight with one of the youths, and badly maimed the young man. He left Ustalav when the youth's family threatened to ruin his parents financially and has been wandering northern astavan ever since.
5) While ranging through Varisia, Orik met Solvan, another wanderer and a cleric of Erastil. Solvan taught Orik more about Erastil and how to use some of the gifts in a more practical way to help the holdfasts that he encounters. Solvan and Orik travelled together for some time, until Orik heard rumors of dangerous spirits eminating from Irrisen. He managed to sneak across the border and made his way to Winterhome. While few people within the city appreciated an Erastilian, he was popular with the inhabitants of the villages (like Waldsby) and towns in the nearby environs, where he has been travelling. He has an ornery musk ox named Sasha that he bought in Whitehome and managed to train for simple tasks. He rides Sasha and uses her as his pack animal, and thankfully has not gotten into many fights with the loyal beast at his side. While travelling between towns (healing what frostbite and other injuries he could) he came across the fabled Black Rider, escaping from unknown foes. Orik healed the Black Rider's fatigue and as a gift, the Rider gave him a blessing (and curse) to meet up with some adventurers at the Pale Tower near Waldsby. He went there and was captured after managing to evade detection for a few weeks. He has been imprisoned, as even in Irrisen it's seen as bad luck to kill a cleric of Erastil, until the Baroness of the area can figure out what to do with him.
Step 2: Goals
1) Orik would like to help the people of Irrisen, as he sees they are under constant threat of pain and death due to the oppressive winter.
2) Orik would like to advance into the hinterlander prestige class and learn to be an excellent archer.
Step 3: Secrets!
1) Orik does not tell many people about his familial relationship with the tribes of Belkzen, even when it would be advantageous.
2) Orik is the great grandson of an ancient and powerful shaman of the Haskodar tribe. The shaman has been watching Orik from afar and is secretly proud of his child and grandchildren for abandoning the savage ways of the Haskodar.
Step 4: Relationships
1) Solvan is a friend of Orik's, and a fellow cleric of Erastil. Solvan remains in northern Varisia.
2) Darya is Orik's sister, and is a physician and alchemist. Orik and Darya were very close as children, but grew apart somewhat when Darya left to attend Lepidstadt University. Darya's competence and intelligence managed to earn her enough money to keep the Rostov family afloat against the machinations of Vladmir.
3) Vladmir Sevastyanova is a minor noble that hates Orik for maiming him, and is waiting for his return to Ustalav to exact his revenge.
Step 5: Memories, quirks, and mannerisms!
1) Orik tends to couches his advice in odd aphorims such as "Like grandma Throateater says, a warbeast in the stable is worth two crushing your skull."
2) Orik compulsively tries to help small communities because he's uncomfortable in cities. He is a wanderer and his refusal to set down roots has caused problems for him. He will get increasingly anxious the longer he stays in very populous areas.
