Submission, Tankor White

[schluraff]

Name: Tankor White
Age:35
Class(es):Cleric
Race:HalfOrc
Subrace:HalfGiant
Alignment:NG
Deity:Grannoch, Lady of Lightning
Domains (if cleric):Protection, Air
Short Bio/Description:Tankor's mother, a powerfull sorceress, died in
childburth without explaining her relationship with Tankor's father. Albet
a constant reminder of thier daughter's seceritive past, Tankor was raised
in a loving family by his Grandparents. Taught to honor his heratige Tankor
investigated the ways of Grannoch and went to seek his father on his age of
majority.
Although unsuccessfull and battered, Tankor did manage to glean some information from a tribe of Storm Giants. A brief stay with the Daughter of Air in a remote mountain top changed Tankor forever. Near dead from exposure, the Daughter of Air grudgingly nursed Tankor to health. From pitty or curiosity she listened to Tankor's story. She devined with Grannoch, and found Tankor worthy of her efforts. Further reflection made clear that Tankor's way was to learn more of Grannoch and then travel into the world. The time brought him even closer to Grannoch's ways and set him out to find his father in ernest.
In order to protect his family and home he first must learn what he is, a half breed with no home. And only time and pain would bring Tankor ballance said the Daughter.
Tankor is smart, but not overly so to human standards. But he has a certain way that brings him respect from his small village. Not popular, but fiercely loyal, his friends are few and lifelong. Most notibly Tankor is strong. He is very strong. He thinks that perhaps humans are intimidated by his stature, and trys harder to be modest because of it. Tankor seeks the ballance of the elements for a life out of ballance. He seeks a home to fight for and the understanding of family. He seeks to help humans understand giant ways, and thereby understand giant ways himself.
But he has little idea how to accomplish his goals or indeed fully what they are. So for now he is content to explore and experience the dangers of the world. He prays to the Lady of Lightning for the strength to understand and impose her will. He enjoys drink and meditation. He enjoys helping others and bettering himself. And, yes... he enjoys swinging his hammer. Not quite the maul he should use... but close enough he thinks. They look sort of simmilar.... and what they do, well, Tankor enjoys that too.

thanks for reading.. hope it'll work schluraff

Hi there
Firstly you will have to read this thread hereand update your bio accordingly.
I would also suggest you read the deity writeupfound here.
Your alignment chosen is NG, which is not one of the typical alignments of a cleric of Grannoch, so please change or explain in detail.
Also I would need to geta better understanding why Tankor chose to become a cleric. His grandparents would not have taught him about Grannoch at all.
I alsoneed to know who this"Daughter of Air" is and why would she care if you died in the mountains of exposure.
Thanks

First and foremost, I would like to thank you both for replying to my submission.
Regnus and Araqwen, A) clerics of Grannoch are permited to be "lawful good", and "true neutal"... i presume that neutral good is permited. B)"2)Not all those of faith must have had a formalized training"

Araqwen,
Tankor's Grandparents had open minds for someone in a small village (farmers). They knew Tankor was different. But they also knew they loved Tankor (big forehead and all). Tankor grew up knowing he was different and wanted to know why. Clearly from his appearance, he was of Storm Giant stock. He learned what he could and set out to the mountains where his kin were rumored to live. There he ran out of supplies, fell down a ravine and nearly died from exposure and starvation. Only by chance was he found by a Storm Giant. Storm Giant communities have, generally, two clerics. They are the Son and Dauter of "Air". Tankor was taken to the Daughter of "Air".

It is my understanding that Storm Giants are not generally evil, but I could be mistaken. I have no idea why the local cleric should want to save anyone, aside that she may be nice.

I have intentionally made this character's bio flexable. I don't know all that much about the world of Layonara. So, I'd prefer to learn as I go.

Thank you for your consideration. Schluraff
