From Egs Mayhem

by nokvok

Name: Davarioc
Race: Black Orc
Age: 15 (Black Orcs mature a little earlier)
Major: Tactics and Warfare
Minor/Concentration: Babaric Sage / Think Tank
Grade: FirstYear
Means Of Acceptance: Destiny. Murak Inhaz, the Blood Caster, Head shaman of all Black Orcs asked for Davarioc's education based on some visions and oracles.

World of Origin: Numba Haloc Black Orcs are about a head smaller than humans, but broad and strong as dwarfs, with the sense of smell of blood hounds and the dark vision of elves. And the intellect of a moldy bread. They are a veritable threat on the worlds they inhabit, especially due to a mix of extraordinary vitality and fertility. They do not have a single home world... or maybe the had, just forgot which it was... their Shamans and Priests know the magic to open portals into new worlds, and thus many worlds are plagued by their aggressions.
When asked where they come from, the Black Orcs tell of 'Numba Haloc' which is a term to describe the emotional and cultural bounds which connect all Black Orcs in spite of tribalism and distance. Actually Black Orcs are very chummy among their own kind, but there is a sort of chauvinism at work there which roots in the need for land this fertile, ever expanding species has. Everything that isn't Numba Haloc is either food/resource 'Toola' or just in the way 'Ak Ha Nim'. Their Cultural traits are numerous and strange, it would go too far to list them. Most Ak Ha Nim consider Black Orcs to be savages anyways.

Appearance: Davarioc is covered in thick black fur, aside that a skillfully stitched loincloth is his only piece of clothing, he doesn't even need shoes.
Strange shaped, black eyes; thick, pointy finger nails (not quite claws); tusks; the fur on the head is a bit longer, but it would be too much to speak of 'hair'. The fur on Davarioc's shoulders are died red, on his knees blue and on the forehead a three forked white line begins which gets lost further up in the head-fur.

History: There is not much history.
The Shamans wander through the tribes to seek talented apprentices. Not long ago, Davarioc got noticed by one of them, despite having not a spark of talent for Shamanism and no divine guidance to seek out Priesthood. He was extraordinarily intelligent, an outright genius. That was enough to bring him before the Head Shaman of all Numba Haloc: Murak Inhaz the Blood Caster. Divinations, Oracles and Prophecies where consulted, and indeed it boiled down to a simple truth... Davarioc is a nexus of the fate of the Numba Haloc. There will come a time when Davarioc will decide upon the destiny of all Black Orcs, one way or another.
After long debates and argues about what should happen with the young Orc, the Blood Caster decided to support Davarioc's Smartness by sending him somewhere where he could learn as much as possible.

Personality: Proud, Chummy, Patient with a hint of Berserk. Despite his Intelligence (A Genius for the Black Orcs is actually merely slightly over the Average for most others) he is not overly Curious... or more... he appears sort of unfazable by strange or new things.

Notes: Davaroic brought two axes made from bone, a Composite bow made from bone and a few furs, gold nuggets, knifes and jewelry the elders told him he would need for 'trading'. He arrived through a whirling red portal that spew lightings and blew strong winds... He got a flat, red stone that, cast into fire, will allow him to speak to the Head Shaman.
