About Trico

Trico is a Half Orc Urban Barbarian. Standing at 6'2" and 246lbs he is an imposing presence wherever he goes, and his size also helps to cover up the fact that he is still young at 16 years old. His long, shaggy brown hair helps to conceal his pointed ears but its hard to keep his half orc pointed teeth hidden.

Trico's father was a half orc as well but more modest in size and without the brutally obvious orc features. This allowed his father to move within society and he was able to become a successful businessman in the city of Absalom. However his orc traits frequently came out at home in the form of a fast temper and vicious beatings. The harsh treatment was far from an ideal childhood, but looking back Trico can't help but feel some gratitude for the fortitude and strength he earned from his upbringing. With his appearance he rarely receives fair or kind treatment from others, and unfortunate or not his father had prepared him well for the cruel world. Trico has never known his mother and can only assume she left or died some time shortly after his birth. Nothing was a more sure-fire way to get his father reaching for his belt than to ask questions about his mother.

A year ago his father died. The circumstances were undoubtedly suspicious and the fact that debt collectors came closing on their house and possessions added to Trico's certainty that his father's business and success was built on a shaky and shady foundation. Trico also couldn't help but chuckle to himself at his lot. Sure he was free from his father's torment but even in death he had found a way to cause more problems for Trico. The past year hadn't been too trying, though. There are always people in a city like Absalom who can use the services of someone with talents like Trico. Most of his employers think he really is a dumb brute because Trico never has much to say. But he doesn't care what anyone thinks and is fine mostly keeping to himself.
