Jünk

Jünk is a half-orccan fighter, who is fond of alliterations and spreading good times. Unlike other half-orccans, Jünk does the best he can to suppress his orccan nature and truly believes he is good and pure at heart.

HISTORY
Jünk grew up in the human village of Fernweh in the great north. His mother was the only pure Orccan in the village. She was once the slave of a terrible Orccan tyrant but was granted freedom when a mysterious hero killed the tyrant and gifted her his families forge in Fernweh, where she would seek refuge and a new life among humans she eventually grew to love. She would become a skilled blacksmith and valued member of the village. Eventually she would have a brief "fling" with a human man and give birth to Jünk, keeping her history as a slave a secret from him.

As the only half-orccan child in his village, Jünk would face a lot of prejudice from the other children. Jünk would however befriend a small blonde human girl named Sophia. Sophia was one of the kindest people Jünk had ever met and his best friend. After a small schoolyard scuffle in which Sophia was pushed by another young boy, Jünk would come to her defense, but much bigger and stronger than the other boy he severely injured the child. After the incident Sophia's parents forbid her from spending any more time or seeing the young half-orccan. As he continued to grow his size and quickly developing lower jaw tusks made him something to fear and he became something of a hermit, working solely with his mother in the blacksmith (though his clumsy nature often ended with him getting burned).

One summer evening when the village was collectively settling down for supper, a terrible tragedy would occur. A small tribe of Orccan's would raid and destroy Fernweh. Jünk's mother would be killed in the raid, as well as Sophia. When he saw the evil that the orccans were capable of, knowing a bit of thier blood runs through his body, he ventured off vowing to never let his orccan side control him but instead, become a hero.

After a brief time aiding the Desert Folk in the great war, he was displeased by the way in which they handled their efforts and decided there was no purity on either side of that conflict. And so he fled south to the region of Rymoor in hopes of something new.
