Biography:
Borgak was born into the Rabid Wolf Clan from a orc male and a human female who was a prisoner of the tribe. When Borgak was born, and came out half human, his father was angered and decided to kill the prisoner woman. Learning of this later in his lfe, Borgak developed a hatred toward even his own father. His father also had another son by the name of Bordak, which would be Borgak's half brother, from an orc woman in the tribe.Borgak was treated as an outcast, because of his mixed race. The orcs of the tribe used to tease him about being weak, because he wasn't full orc. His brother was the only one that stood up for him.Being treated so poorly he began to develop hatred for even his own kind. Borgak's brother always told him to ignore the other orcs, because they were just big dummies and new nothing of strength. Borgak's brother took Borgak on hunts to get him away from the harrassment of the tribe.

Borgak thought of leaving the tribe many times, but he decided he would use the other orcs for protection, and for practice fighting, until he was old enough and strong enough to get out on his own. He often liked to set traps and trick them to pass the time, and because really he was too weak to fight without a little aid from another source. He figured if he could tangle them up or blind them somehow he could rough them up easier.

Meanwhile, his brother Bordak was busy trying to make everyone worship the great ancestor Grand instead of the totems.Because the tribe couldn't have Bordak corrupting the tribe they thought it was best to banish him. With no one to stick up for him now that his brother was gone, Borgak was an even easier target for abuse. Shortly after Borgak's brother was exhiled, Borgak decided to go on a journey to find him. The only thing he took with him was a longsword and some heavy armor.

He came to many towns during his travels. The inns and taverns would not allow him to enter. They called him a freak and threw him into the streets. The only way he could survive was to break into people's stables and eat their cows. If he was caught in the act he would beat the people up real good, but couldn't bring himself to kill them since they didn't really do anything to harm him. Before fleeing he would of course take the money and valuables that they had.

On his journey to find his brother, Borgak found the temple of Shadon. He was surprised at the unorganization that they had. They all seemed all happy and free so he decided to investigate the church further. He got in on a few trips that apparently had no planning whatsoever. They started out on an adventure and ended up at the tavern having a drinking contest. During their drinking party someone had the neat idea to thrash the place. When the town guards showed up a lot of the others just disappeared into thin air and left him to take the blame for the damage. He decided it was Shadon that gave them the power to do that and asked the church to teach him. They decided they'd teach him, because it gave them an excuse to maybe beat him up a little and play tricks on him. He found that Shadon could grant him powers to make it easier for him to play tricks on the orcs so he asked Shadon to help him out a bit. He also liked the flashy clothes they were wearing and thought he might look nice wearing something fancy.

1- i have read and understand the dogma and expectations of Shadon and intend to follow them.
2- Borgak believes that the teachings of Shadon say to eat drink and be merry and live life to the fullest even if it means doing something wrong once in awhile.
3-Though the clergy favored daggers, Borgak prefered the longsword, because he thought he would end up dropping the dagger because his hands were too big. Furthermore he has been using a longsword since he left the orc tribe.

Hey there. This is a pretty good biography, but before I approve it I would like to see a little bit more expansion on how he became part of the church of Shadon. It seems to have been tacked on at the end to justify the class.

[bpejsa]

I have expanded it. Take a looksee and tell me what you think. Thanks

Since you are applying to have a character that is a relative of an existing character, I would like to ask that Bordak's player (pejsaboy) please post in this thread to affirm that is acceptable.

Other than that, it looks fine to me.

[bpejsa]

Alrighty then, thanks. I'll talk to him later and have him post.

[pejsaboy]

I wasn't able to post in the actual submission, said something about not having the right permissions or whatnot. Anyhow, just chiming in to say that it is ok for Borgak to be submitted as Bordak's brother. The two characters were planned out that way from the beginning. Thanks

[Faldred]

Approved.
