Backstory
Childhood (1-45): If you had handed a baby an axe and told it to go out and kill thats what it was. Hunting anything my child self could throw my axe into. The tribe never had a rat problem. I was made fun of by the other orc children. My tusks did not grow as long as the other and I had to train harder to keep up with them. I was taken care of by my father who at the time was a expert tracks-man. He was able to hunt down animals by scent and taste alone. I would see him lick at the air which confused me but it would always lead us to a fresh kill. My mother on the other hand wasn't part of my life. My father would only tell me small snippets of information such as she was a younger delicate orc who was a beauty to behold. These stories only left me to fill a void that I have kept into my later years.
Middle Years (46-Present day): My training was one of my biggest concerns. Keeping up with the other orcs and making sure I was taking care of my fellow tribesman. I realized I was a bit faster then normal and I would use this to my advantage when anyone wished to fight me to settle a dispute. I began to have a reputation which led to less and less orcs fighting me and more and more orcs respecting me. With every human village we razed to the ground I realized this way of life isn't going to last long for us. Eventually we will run out of villages to burn and pillage. I began to request an audience with our village chieftain who had decided that my ideas of settling down were going to be the destruction of our way of life. He scoffed at the idea that we would run through our endless resources. He had criticized my age as I had known nothing yet in this life. The village needed change and I was going to be the one to enact it. In the next couple years I had begun to recruit people toward a more fearsome loyalty toward me.I had begun to plant a seed of doubt into our fellow orcs. Eventually around my 65th year. I had decided that our aging orc leader was not fit to lead. Villages had begun to be scarce and the animals we had hunted had become less and less. Our people hungry had begun to listen to what I had to say about settling and adopting some of the things the humans who we had slaughtered have been doing to survive. I had requested one more audience with the old chieftain and have requested a trial of combat for leadership of the village. The tribe had gathered around to witness this and the battle between me and him had ensued. My axe vs his spear eventually I had used my speed against him to make a slash at his spear handle cutting in 1/2 after that had happened. It was all downhill for him. With a few more slashes at his body and one heavy chop at his head. The chief was down and the tribe was mine to control. I now
resides as a chieftain of my village. I have decided to stop my tribes nomadic lifestyle for a more permanent style. I am constantly trying to make this transition easyier for my people however this is still a constant fight with some of his fellow orcs more nomadic instincts.
