Kradic

His mother a tavern wench, Kradric made his mark upon the world upon his birth. Born into the world as a nameless Orphan, he was taken in by the local militia armour smith, who's wife had been unable to conceive a child herself. He grew up south of Leoden within the Savage Lands in Marauder's Crossings, a small outpost named appropriately for the weekly raids by nearby knolls and troggs. It was a small trading outpost that had existed for the past century. Unknown was the miracle that this outpost lived but it did not last forever.

Kradic had taken over his adoptive father's forge at the age of thirty, and before joined the Militia as a foot-soldier around the age of eighteen. He became well experienced in the art of fighting. The outpost was weekly fighting off the tribes, from this he accumulated multiple battle-scars over his body and an equal number of stories to tell. The town held strong for its small numbers and ill-trained men. It was only composed of militia as they would not be able to provide for themselves if they had devoted even a small amount of men and women to the sword. Kradic was a man well respected throughout the community for his strength and strong spirit, eventually he was even elevated to the position of Captain.



Although, his position did not last long. The knoll's upstream had begun to poison the streams, causing a epidemic within the outpost. The dwarves were able to struggle through, but the humans were not so lucky. Two thirds of the town's population fell ill and it was not long until the next raid by the tribes. It was here where the outpost had finally fallen. Those who had not fallen ill rose to arms and defended the outpost with their life. After a costly battle the tribes were defeated, but the battle had left the outpost shattered and crippled. The healers were slain during the raid and did most of the remaining folk. Within the next few days, only Kradic and a handful of others remained.

The outpost was no longer able to provide for itself and so the handful had parted ways. Kradic made his way to Estavyr, using the coin from the outpost to start anew. He re-began his forge, purchasing a reasonable house within the market. Although no longer a part of the militia, he is not one to give up his past. On the side he would train in his basement, practicing his shield and ax work, never a man to let his skills become dull.

Inventory:

A picture of his Equipment:

A set of Iron Armour he had crafted for himself after leaving the Crossing. It is well fitted and can protects his entire upper body, and below his knee's. He wears a chainmail skirt to protect his mid-lower section.

Spoiler:

This ax was presented to him during his time at the Crossings, he has held onto this axe for quite some time, using his skills to keep it in shape.

Spoiler:

Kradic carries a heavy shield. Using wood as the backing, it is plated with a quarter-inch thick coating of Iron. It is very large and when placed on the ground, it reaches halfway up his chest. The shape of it is slightly unique. Tapered at the front such that arrows and most blows that hit the sides are deflected, but yet any hits that strike the core of the shield are absorbed. With his long years of service and use of this shield, he has become well accustomed to its weight.

Something shitty I made up:

I quite like this guy. I know Atlas to be of a good knowledge on weapons and armor too, so I can see the depth of his choices.

Looking good. I'd give a +1, especially since we could use a guy who cooks well around. He'll be makin' all dat money.

If it were up to me, I'd remove the shitty peer review system and go with the far superior 'Admins get to pick out the people they like because politics' system that works so well for D&D. Really, let's try that one.

It is an admin approval system, but that's not to to say we don't value the words of our members. Those opinions are appreciated a lot, too. :3

This is a lovely page though, truly. Good backstory, detail and format - I'd be more than happy to toss it my approvals and move it on.

And on that, getting second opinions helps us gauge characters a lot better. They help us see things we might've missed, problems we might not have thought of at the time, and let us see first hand what kind of characters the community is ready for. I like seeing what members like and don't like because at the end of the day everyone has to play with them, so everyone should have a word.

On that, I don't see a problem here and I quite like the character.

I hate to make an innane post on a character page, but I have to ask now.

Do I get Bonus Cookie Points if I make a Mythweavers page for my character?

I mean, if you want, but once we're on-server we won't be forcing people to roll or anything of the like. Might come in handy if anyone wants to do a D&D campaign or the like.

Who knows, one might sprout up when everything else is all said and done.

Minor update to the inventory, added visual representations of his gear.
