About Sulan KatorQuick Background:
* Sulan is from the Burning Sun orc tribe, which worships Azathoth as their patron. They believe that one day the sun will scorch the earth and desert sands will cover all the land; only those who have learned to live in the desert will survive as "Azathoth's Chosen." Azathoth's rituals commonly include bonfires, hallucinogens, self-flagellation, and sacrifice.
* The tribe favors powerful mounts, such as megafauna, though such animals are hard to come by in the desert. * This tribe lives in the Northern Windswept Wastes, a desert region south of Iobaria and southeast of Restov. It is north of the Pit of Gormuz and the Empire of Kelesh. * Sulan was a young and aspiring warrior who desired to be such a beast rider. So he set out to steal himself a mount. * He managed to unhitch a riding beast, but not knowing how to ride, he soon fell off the beast as he tried to gallop away into the night. He was caught by the tribe. * Zukath, the High Shaman of the tribe indicated that Sulan must be punished. Sulan was sentenced to the "Scourge of Flint." * During the Scourge of Flint, the prisoner must navigate a labyrinth of natural stone gullies, while under the effect of a powerful hallucinogen, occasionally struck with whips by orcs standing on top of the chasm walls, and dodging flaming oil cast into the chasm by the same orcs. All while going barefoot on a landscape of sharp flint stones. * The Scourge is intended as an entertainment for the rest of the tribe, and few survive. But Sulan staggered out of the labyrinth, battered and scarred, but alive. Those that do are celebrated among the tribe as a kind of "sports hero," and Sulan found himself the center of admiration for the tribe. He was given the Great Spiral Sun tattoo as a reward. * This brought Sulan to the attention of Gothak, one of the tribe's druids. He came to Sulan and told him that if he wanted a mighty mount, he should instead learn to call such a mount to him. Sulan then became Gothak's apprentice. * Zukath was still angry with Sulan for surviving his punishment, which Zukath saw as a kind of defiance to his will. * Zukath arranged for Sulan and some other "undesirables" to be sent on a "trading mission" to Restov. On their way they were ambushed by a much larger group of orcs sent by Zukath, led by Morok, the orc who owned the mount Sulan tried to steal. * Only Sulan was able to escape, using his druid magic to do so. * Sulan has now made his way to Desertsands, not because he still thinks he has a mission, but simply because he is afraid to return home. He has heard that the people of Desertsands hire half-orcs as guards, and is in town looking for work. Appearance:
Sulan is a Sandkin (desert) half-orc, and his skin is a sandy dark tan color. His eyes are gold, and he stands 6'3"; he is powerfully built. He has prominent tusks and numerous scars, including some that look like burn scars, which most people find off-putting. His clothing is that of a desert nomad, and he wears strange armor that seems to be made from interlocking stone plates sewn to a leather backing. It has many nicks and scrapes and looks like it has gotten plenty of use and has been patched and repaired many times. He carries a large axe with an obsidian head over his shoulder, and looks like he knows how to use it. Personality:
Sulan is a risk-taker. Knowing that all things die but also believing in his own destiny, Sulan grabs life by the reins and pulls, accepting whatever consequences that may come. Knowing that both good and bad things are given by life, he doesn't waste time worrying or crying over losses and has an easy-going nature. This means he has a hard time holding grudges, and though he fights ferociously once a fight is over he is happy to be his opponent's friend again. He has a quick and rough sense of humor.
