Character Self view and view of others

[Rhonya]

Totally not an idea stolen from the Defias forum. (Original thread: http://www.defiasrp.com/t8323-characters-self-view-and-the-view-of-other-2014-15) Though I figured not everyone reads those, I found it worth a try to also post this topic here and see if we can get some more orcs to write up some things!

Basically it's an ooc thing, where you tell about your character and their view on others in the tribe, or maybe even some outside of it that are close to them anyway. A fun insight for others to read!
I'll start off with my own two characters to give an example! And everyone who posted one on defias RP forum already, feel free to copy paste it to here of course!

Rhonya Steelheart

Rhonya has gotten more confident in the years she's been with the tribe, after they accepted her with all her faults and problems, ever needing protection against her past following her. However, even though she knows most in the tribe like her and respect her, there is still this nagging feeling that one day they might just betray her, though she tries to tell herself such thoughts are nonsense. She trusts easily, is very glad to have found a true family in the tribe, but worries a lot about them all as well. Sometimes so much that she shoves her own problems aside for them and forgets about herself completely, which has gotten her in trouble a few times already.
Her powers she views as a blessing, able to mend the orcs and help them, even though recently she's gotten more strict on who she helps with spirits aid or not, depending on how bad the wounds are and if it was the orcs own stupidity getting them. Rhonya is of opinion sometimes they learn more from just seeing how it hurts and how long it takes for things to recover if she doesn't mend them.
Her insecurity is her biggest failure in her own eyes, she feels she needs to stand strong as Thur'ruk and example figure for the others, but she's having some great difficulty with this at times.


How she views some others:

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Recently things have clashed between Rhonya and Therak. Her mate before, but now she's set him aside. A small argument lead to a huge fight, and Rhonya noticed she'd been walking around with some problems for a long time already, coming to the surface now. Not being able to handle these fights and problems well, she chose to turn away from Therak instead. It hurt her greatly, and she knows she hurt him extremely badly as well, but she actually hopes that he'll move on from her so that she can't hurt him anymore. She's of opinion she's done that too often the past few years, and doesn't wish that on him. Somewhere deep inside she hopes he'll still be there for her as a friend, if nothing more, but it's a small hope due to the way he's responding to her these days.

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

Her newest bloodbrother. Rhonya has always respected this orc, but she could never truly get any understanding of him with him being so distant and on his own. Recently however, he's opened up a lot more to her, and now he's on Chieftain position again she actually finds it easier to talk to him, to find him and help him with his issues or questions, no matter how odd they sometimes are. She's amused by how shy he sometimes actually is, something he doesn't show at all in public, and she has grown very fond of him. Though she's still afraid to dissapoint him by things she does. With Rhonya's recent breakup with Therak, Kozgugore has been a great support for her, and a pillar to lean on and ask for advise.

Spoiler: "Rargnasha Bloodmark" • show

Rhonya used to be very intimidated by this strong figurehead of an orc, even afraid of him at times. But during the years she got to know him better, that view changed. Her bloodbrother now and someone she deeply cares for and respects. The line between brother and Chieftain though is very thin in her eyes, still something she has to keep in mind so to not make him angry. Rargnasha might make some mistakes sometimes, and he might get angry at her at times, she would still give her life for this orc who always offered her so much love and protection. Lately she's been worrying about him, with his dissapearance, and no word how things are going or where he's been. But she trusts the spirits to lead him on a good path, eventually...

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

Fellow Thur'ruk and someone to look up to, Rhonya views Sadok as an example in rituals, spirits ways even though he is not a shaman, and an orc to turn to with questions or if she needs help. Her old tutor on the path she walks now, and bloodbrother too. She sees him as a troubled orc at times, hiding under his mask of ever jokes and sometimes just impossible to normally talk to, but she's learned to poke through that thin veil of deception and see the orc underneith, an orc she learned to love and care for as a brother. Even though he still irritates her greatly at times. Not to mention that he always gets hurt. Now they even share a deeper bond, something she doesn't regret doing. Now some time has passed, Rhonya and Sadok only grew closer and closer and as he split ways with Kyrazha and told Rhonya of his feelings for her, she started to respond to those feelings in kind. Recently they've done their mating hunt, and while Sadok remains a troubled spirit, Rhonya feels she owes it to him to try everything she can to help him and keep him happy.

Spoiler: "Magrahra Emberheart" • show

A distant orc at first, Rhonya took this female into the tribe. She's a fiesty one, quick to anger, but it's not a wrong kind of anger. To Rhonya this female looks like she knows what she's doing, and has the right attitude to make orcs listen, though also to make some angry if she treats them all like they're toddlers. She can see this she-orc carries a lot of burdens of her past with her, but she won't push her to talk about it.

Spoiler: "Srelok Grimtide" • show

Rhonya's cousin, and someone she was very uncertain about for a long while. He arrived at the tribe without her knowing who he was, but he remembered her. He tried to keep it secret for her, but she found out not too long. He's got a habit of dissapearing at times though, something that annoyed Rhonya and made her a bit hesitant of putting any trust in him, especially due to the past they shared with Sreloks father. Lately she's warmed up to him a little now he's shown his own personality and care for the tribe, and not only the fear for his past. Rhonya is still a little uncomfortable around him though, cause he does remind her of his father, the one who raised her.

Spoiler: "Grogona Wolfheart" • show

Her first sister and one that took trust in Rhonya, even after learning of her inner struggles and problems. She sees Grogona as a very strong orc, body and mind, and very strong willed though sometimes also blinded by this. Recently things have been a bit quiet between them, Rhonya actually worries a bit about her sister that she seems so distant at times. Her sister is now missing, kidnapped, and it broke Rhonya's heart she had to leave her behind and go through the portal without her, and without even knowing if she's still alive.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

Rhonya does not understand this orc, mostly. Always so focused on his purpose, so serious, hardly smiling, hardly joking or even just not seeming to enjoy small things life gives at times. She's seen him go up and down the ranks, up and down again, several times. She respects his determination, though sometimes thinks he's a bit too straightfoward and at times even just blandly thinking very high and mighty of himself. Her respect for him has grown though after his death, and she actually misses her 'stalker' and his sometimes harsh but true words.

Spoiler: "Gashuk Soulfury" • show

The one who went into the dark path, but managed to climb out again. Rhonya has deep respect for this Orc, someone who helped her on occasion even though the spirits would not listen to him. A strong mind, strong will and source of information for her. Recently she's grown very proud of his ways of forsaking the Fel and turning back to the spirits, something she sees her old self in reflected. Her heart tells her to truly help this orc on his way, but her head warns her to let him try for himself, for it is -he- who has to find his own redemption. Having returned to the tribe recently, Rhonya was very happy to see him well, and he really helped her with supporting her again without questions, just being a listening ear and offering a shoulder to cry on.

Spoiler: "Mozrogg Doomhowl" • show

Rhonya's and Mozroggs friendship started a few years ago, though she could never really see eye to eye first with this male. He was too hot headed and rushed into everything without thinking. She liked him, until he suddenly got all demon infected and they had to leave him behind in Nagrand, not able to help him much and his daughter only worked against Rhonya trying to aid him. She didn't see him often when he was a part of the Blood wolves, but since he's returned Rhonya has noticed he has changed, somewhat. No longer so angry, no longer so reckless, he actually makes for a good conversationalist these days. She hopes that in time perhaps they might grow closer to one another. At least he doesn't seem to hold a grudge anymore for past events, so she decided to 'forget' about it as well, for now.

Spoiler: "Groshnok Gorewrath" • show

A strong but troubled Orc, Rhonya doesn't really get him. A history with drinking, something he's improved greatly on, but she still ocassionaly sees him slipping back. She actually thinks Rashka is a bad influence on him, a bad example for him to follow, a mate who only drags him further into his old ways and bad experiences.

Spoiler: "Gridish Rimeweaver" • show

After Gridish returned to the tribe recently, Rhonya has learned to respect him more again. He's actually changed a lot, more like his usual self when he joined the tribe. Serious when needed, but an orc to have fun with as well in more lighthearted situations. He picked up his role as Rrosh-tul again too, something which Rhonya is thankful for. She won't trust him just yet with some of her secrets, but he's a nice enough orc to hang out with.

Spoiler: "Kogra Windwatcher" • show

Rhonya feels a certain degree of fondness for this young female. She sees a lot of herself reflected in her, the insecureness and the want to learn, but not sure where to begin. Rhonya has a certain want to protect this female, turn her in the right direction and help here where she can.

Spoiler: "Caruk Blackblade" • show

The orc Rhonya has known the longest of all the orcs in the tribe, from before they both joined the tribe even. As a deathknight, she first found him incredibly uncomfortable to be around, but over the years that changed. He's always protected her, stood by her shoulder as a silent shadow. Even though she learned that had a different reason before, she's learned to trust him with her life. Many dislike him due to him being undead and always so silent, but Rhonya is very thankful for his presence in the tribe, even though he reminds her of the bad days they had together as well. An orc at least she can rely on, in her eyes.

Spoiler: "Sinami" • show

Rhonya views this female as an orc with a very kind heart. Stubborn, not letting anyone mess with her, even though she's blind. Sinami is another orc she just feels caring about, wanting to help her with her sight and perhaps help her with feeling a bit less awkward around so many others. Rhonya is very happy to see that Sinami is actually involving herself a lot more with others, and that they accept her as well as one of their own without any question. Rhonya still feels somewhat guilty for the hurt she caused Sinami, but she promised the female she wouldn't, so she just keeps it hidden from sight instead.  

Spoiler: "Makaroth" • show

A warlock that actually earned Rhonya's trust very quickly, back when he just got with the tribe in Booty Bay. He approached her often, spoke to her, listened to her, and soon she felt herself warming up to him, even though he had this constant air of Fel around him. Or perhaps that was slightly part of the reason she sometimes wanted to be close... Now that Makaroth has given up on his fel, he's earned a deep respect from Rhonya for his tenacity and stubborness, not giving up on wanting to better himself. Though she is still slightly uncomfortable with the words they shared in Tanaan, where he confessed his love for her, a love she can't return.

Outside of the tribe:

Spoiler: "Sedah Grimshade" • show

One of the few Forsaken Rhonya actually somewhat trusts. She can talk normally with him to a certain degree even though she still has this general dislike of Forsaken all in all. Sedah has shown many times he's able of good thinking and right actions for the tribe, helping them. She's cautious around him, but trusts him as well.

Spoiler: "Jarilo Stronghoof" • show

A very likeable Tauren in Rhonya's eyes. He helped her and the tribe in several occasions and is always nice to talk to about things. Someone she doesn't mind having around at all, especially because of his bond with Rargnasha, making the Chieftain a more happy orc as well, something she's glad to see. Only too bad Jarilo isn't an Orc, Rhonya would think him a great addition to the tribe if such was the case.

[Rhonya]

Kyrazha Throatrender

Kyrazha has always been an orc on her own, raised by a Troll in the jungles of Stranglethorn and used to be more Troll than orc, in her ways and personality. She sought out the tribe at the start of the rebellion to learn more of her own kind, and because she wanted a place to belong.
Kyra has changed a lot over the years, she found a purpose for herself she can be happy with, climbing the ranks as Gul'thauk, doing her part for the tribe she learned to love. Even she sometimes still clashes with orc ways and things she's used to do. Especially spirit-wise, she doesn't understand them and doesn't have much interest in them either. She's got trust issues as well, many orcs she won't trust, even though she can play nice and pretend to be on their side, usually that is just to keep herself from getting hurt or rejected in the end. She acts simple, because orcs tend to tell her things easier then. Her view on things are quite simplistic as well, but that's just how she is, not really one to think things over too much.

Her view on some others:

Spoiler: "Mozrogg Doomhowl" • show

Mozrogg managed to squirm his way into Kyrazha's life since he returned to the tribe. It started as teasings and jokes and jabs and just making fun, but after her break up with Sadok, Kyrazha felt herself more and more gravitating towards this orc. He showed her affection and made her laugh even though she was full of anger and sadness before. Even promised her to be there for her, no matter the fact she's carrying another males pup. This somewhat scared her at first, that honesty, but she's seen he means it and really just wishes to be with her. Kyrazha has started to return the feelings to this male, to the point of where she's started to trust him a lot and just wishes to get to know him better and spend more time with him.

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

Kyrazha's former mate. Kyrazha never imagined ending up together with Sadok, they actually started out in a very bad way, fighting and yelling at one another. Kyrazha saw Sadok as a rather useless orc, not able to stand up for himself and see his true potential, hiding behind a personality that was not his own. Kyrazha got very annoyed with him, but eventually that somehow led to her realising how much she cared for him. Now she would do everything for him. She doesn't care what other orcs think about them being together, she doesn't care about him being scrawny and not as muscled as most other orcs. She doesn't care either that he's smaller than her, and less strong. This only makes her feel more inclined to protect him. He's strong in mind, and that's what she loves him for. After her break up with him, Kyrazha has grown a little harsher. She knows why he left her, but she can't help still blaming him, even though she also agrees that not everything between them was all well. However, she understands him as well. Doesn't mean she's not sad about it, though...

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Kyra's tutor in many ways. In her opinion a calm orc, one who thinks things through before acting. Even though the training he put her through was harsh, she's actually thankful for him not treating her like some delicate female, which she's not. He made her work for her rank, and that's exactly the way she preffered it. Even though he made her keep her training secret from her own mate for many months. She trusts this male and will go to him whenever she suspects something weird is going on in the tribe, knowing he'll act on it.

Spoiler: "Trakmar Beastbane" • show

Her former mate. She loved him dearly, once. But the love dissapeared over time, when he tried to get her out of camp more and more and only seemed to care about her getting pregnant. She tried for him, but somehow that instead ended up with her falling for Sadok instead, the complete opposite of Trakmar. She still regrets the mess that came after that, the wounds that were made, the hurt she caused and that Trakmar got himself exiled due to it in the end when she miscarried. She hates him deeply now, for hurting Sadok. It's a hate that might never dissapear, especially because he never truly seemed to care for her anymore in her eyes. Kyra tolerates him around, but that's about it. She won't hesitate to attack him, should he make a wrong move towards Sadok or someone she loves.

Spoiler: "Srelok Grimtide" • show

A male she doesn't really understand. He saved her life a few times, which she's grateful for. But she never shared much with him, and still he calls her a dear friend. Speaking that openly actually only pushed her away from him, seeing she doesn't want to hurt him or have herself hurt again by trusting him. She's starting to warm up to this orc now he's helped her in several situations, and found she can actually talk properly to him. Something she didn't even manage with Sadok, at times.

Spoiler: "Magrahra Emberheart" • show

One scary She-orc. Kyrazha put some trust in her, but now she's seen how angry this female can become in certain situations, she's a little more careful around her, especially now she learned Mag is quite capable of working with fire. She knows Mag doesn't want to harm her, but she's still careful, taking a bit of distance from the female.

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

An orc Kyrazha doesn't really know, though somehow with his ways he manages to calm her with his words whenever she's angry, preventing her from doing any more stupid stuff. She respects him, but she's also got a certain fear for him, knowing there is a lot more going on behind that calm behaviour he has. Especially because he ordered her certain things that led to her doing something she feared, even though it ended well and was for her own good, she'll remember it. Though she finds it hard to ignore his orders. These days she's found out a more playful side of Kozgugore, one she happily clings on to and tries to bring out, probably to his own annoyance. Not that she cares.

Spoiler: "Sinami" • show

Someone Kyra learned to like, over time. Easy to talk with and easy to spend time with, an orc she may trust in time and learn to like more. She's open with this female, feels somewhat sorry for her being blind, but also respects her and knows she's able to take care of herself even with her sight gone. She likes to tease the female a little, bring her into uncomfortable situations as such sometimes. Over time she's found out that she's liking this female more and more, perhaps because even though they differ a lot, they also have a lot in common.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

Kyrazha doesn't like this male. She asked him in good faith to help her once and he turned it against her, even suspecting other orcs to be working as 'spies' for her, while it was her intention to only help Trakmar complete a task. She knows he lied to the Chieftain even, and talked behind her back about other things he suspected about her which she never did. She won't trust him with such things again easily now, and mainly avoids getting into discussions with him, because he'll turn everything she says against her anyway, in her opinion. And now he's dead. She wasn't there when it happened, but she personally doesn't miss him much.

Spoiler: "Vraxxar" • show

One of Kyrazha's more recent contacts, she doesn't know much of this male yet. But, he seems to her an honorable orc, fun to talk with and hang out with, who also puts up with her sillyness and weird ways without questioning things too much. Kyrazha blames him a bit for dissapearing and leaving Vanara all alone in her depressed state, even though she knows Vraxxar might've not even been able to help it much.

Spoiler: "Vanara" • show

A fun female, in Kyrazha's eyes. They work together well, it doesn't always go smoothly, but at least they're having a lot of fun while screwing things up together. Vanara is a fun friend for Kyrazha, able to laugh and while in her eyes still somewhat simple and even a little cruel to poor Makaroth, Kyrazha hopes they'll be happy together.

Spoiler: "Redskull" • show

A female Kyrazha can relate to, have fun with, stand next to in fights and feel secure and safe. Another Laughing Skull, but one she likes so far and talks easily to, which is for Kyrazha still an insecure thing with a lot of other orcs, even though she doesn't show it often. She respects this female, especially after the things she learned about her and the fact Redskull helps her here and there. 

Outside of the tribe:

Spoiler: "Zhakiri" • show

One of the few Trolls that have been around recently that she does like, Zhakiri actually took an interest in her past and her ways. He facinates her with his wild side, even though she's only seen him around the campfire a few times. She'd wish to learn more from him, maybe ask him to go hunting once with her, just to get back into her past ways again a little and have a buddy to properly hunt and talk with as she was used to. A thing she found she actually missed more than she thought she would. Sadly he doesn't show his face that often anymore!

[Kozgugore]

Kozgugore Feraleye

Self view:
Kozgugore is, for a lack of better words, melancholic in his reflective view. He looks back on his long past with mixed feelings: Wanting to put himself responsible for all the tragedy and horror that he has both witnessed and committed in the past, but at the same time, longing to be free of the shackles of time.

One thing he does know for certain: For whatever reason, the spirits have seen fit to keep him alive for far too long. He couldn't even begin to think to what end, because he personally doesn't consider himself worthy of it, compared to all the far superior warriors he used to work with in the long, distant past. Heroes each one of them, but he himself, far from it.

And yet others seem to look to him for guidance, and for a leading example. Better yet, he has been elevated to the position of Chieftain, where he previously would have consider himself far and well below worthy of such an honour. He has always been a follower: Someone who takes orders, and knows obedience and loyalty to the very letter. Even more so, he has always been a bit of an outcast since his youth, preferring the wilderness and the beasts over society and clan. This is why it has taken a great deal of time and effort for him to accommodate to his current position. At the same time however, that is also why he places great value in oaths. His own oaths, as well as others' oaths. And that is why he chooses to accept the position he's been given, because he has made an oath not only to a certain Matriarch, but to an entire tribe as well. As such, he aims to ensure he does exactly that which was asked of him: To guide and lead his pack. Being a traditionalist at heart and placing great value in the tenets of honour and loyalty, he would go beyond lengths to protect both pack and kin and to see them guided to a prosperous future where they and his race might one day know a world of true peace and welfare. Even if in spite of all those feelings of loyalty, he has been found having trouble developing more permanent, closely-knit bonds; afraid to lose yet more blood-brothers or -sisters or even a mate after having lost so many of them already. It's a defense mechanism that has left him appearing cold and distant towards others, yet deep down, there's still that on-going urge to protect any that hold a remote sense of value to him. Let alone what few that did manage to break through that mental wall.

Until that time however, he will fight fiercely for any bound to him by oath. Some perhaps more than others, but like the loyal dog he was always moulded and educated to be, he will continue to do exactly that: Protecting and serving those close to him. No matter the motives for the spirits to keep him alive for this long, that alone is reason enough for him to keep going, unhindered by any painful memories of old.


Character opinions (in alphabetical order):

Spoiler: "Gridish Rimeweaver" • show

Kozgugore feels like he can safely trust the Rrosh-tul mage just as much as the next elder. Despite that however, he doesn't feel like he truly knows the orc, deep down. A timid curiosity makes him feel inclined to try and find out more about the orc: What drives him, how he feels about the tribe, and what he thinks of his place within it. But something holds him back - likely his own reservedness - and he can't help but continue to feel that there's a void between the two, despite them both being elders. Perhaps it's for the better this way, to keep things strictly on a business-level, because if they were any closer than this, Koz might very well say what he -truly- thinks of that talking book of his.

Spoiler: "Grim Stonepaw" • show

There hasn't been all that many interactions between the two, but that's something Koz can wholeheartedly live with. He has been at odds with this orc since the first day he can remember encountering him, though has otherwise cared rather little for the whispers others have shared that contained this orc's name. He was a far-away story, and only more recently has he become more of a reality to deal with, rather than just idle gossip. He can't see himself working together on a daily basis with the orc, but he can see why Grim's people choose to follow him, despite whatever habits Koz might not see eye to eye with. He's not the kind of orc he himself would follow, but he -is- the kind of orc he would tolerate allying himself with, so long as their interests align. And perhaps, deep down, there might just be a common understanding when it comes to their principles after all.

Spoiler: "Groshnok Gorewrath" • show

Groshnok can be a fool and a drunk at certain times. That much is clear. But on what few times that he -can- be found in a sober state, Kozgugore can't help but wonder what true, untapped potential lies deep within this orc. He doesn't know what may have caused the orc so much reason to turn to drinking, but were fate any different, he's quite certain that this orc may just as well have been a Rrosh-tul. Perhaps it's just a strange fantasy Koz might be entertaining - a faint notion that every orc has a source of untapped potential - but he likes to think that even an orc like Groshnok is not beyond a second chance. And that's what he'll be given, if the spirits allow it... as well as Groshnok's own general demeanour.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

An orc Kozgugore finds himself having very mixed feelings about. There are times that Kozgugore deeply respects Krogon, and even finds a bit of common ground with the elder orc as they are both among the more elder and experienced orcs in the tribe, both having seen more than their share of bloodshed and dramatics than they wish or care for. And still, he looks down upon the orc. For his failings, for his disobedience, for his temper... and for disappointing him personally. If only he had remained true to the oaths he had made in the past, the orc would have made the perfect Varog'Gor. He would have made the ideal person for Koz to place his trust in, and to set an example with to all others. But even the greatest heroes have their faults, as Koz knows all too well from the Chieftain he himself once had in his time as a Warsong. And so too does that sentiment count for Krogon Devilstep: One of the finest warriors the Horde has to offer, and yet the burdens of time and even his own flawed personality makes him imperfect - and mortal, like any other orc. The responsibility of being one of the best comes at a price, and this is Krogon's. Kozgugore can recognize that much, and will treat Krogon with the respect he deserves, though there will always be that leash. A really short leash.

Spoiler: "Kyrazha Throatrender" • show

Kyrazha is a bit of a strange orc. And she takes after trollish ways, which is definitely not something Kozgugore would normally be very enthused of. But she has shown herself to be a very capable and fine orc, despite such prejudices he might previously have had, and Kozgugore has begun to have a strange degree of respect for this she-orc who he believes is the primary foundation to Sadok Sharptongue's sanity - something he would all too gladly see remaining in one piece. Despite what she might let on to others, he also believes she can be a very intelligent orc. In fact, she might sometimes make more sense than other orcs would, even those that would generally be seen as rather sage. Koz believes this because a certain simplicity in itself, at times, can make all the positive difference. Civilization can be a constricting factor, on both lifestyle and thought, and it doesn't seem to have gripped Kyrazha yet either, being a creature of the Wilds. This might very well be one of the reasons why he can easily tolerate Kyrazha's presence, even, when compared to others.

Spoiler: "Lo'Gush Goreseeker" • show

Logush can be compared to Groshnok, in the sense that they are both orc warriors of the tribe, can be depended upon in the right situation, have a very promising future ahead of them if they would set their minds towards it, but hamper their very own movements and attempts with their habit of messing up. Lo'Gush perhaps to a lesser degree than Groshnok, but it's there. In fact, Kozgugore might just have a little more faith in Lo'Gush in comparison, because he has actually shown and proven that he's not beyond redemption and capable of pushing himself further. In fact, there's the faint hope that Lo'Gush might one day manifest himself into a Rrosh-tul, or who knows even a Varog'Gor, as he does seem to have what it takes to serve as a fine example to all others. For the time being, those hopes will be far removed from any reality however, as Kozgugore knows all too well that there's a long path to be walked still.

Spoiler: "Magrahra Emberheart" • show

Kozgugore once had strong feelings for this gifted shaman. But their paths have left them in different places entirely. He admires her and holds a great amount of respect for her, but something in him tells him that since their last collision, it will take more than just time and patience for whatever's left of any bond to be mended. He worries about her, and where she may have gone and done since, and hopes that one day they can at least return to friendly terms again, as he still believes the orc's presence can be one to treasure indeed.

Spoiler: "Rargnasha Bloodmark" • show

Rargnasha has been a head-case for Kozgugore for many times. Both in more recent times, as well as far, far back into the past. When he was a Rrosh-tul of the tribe, he often found himself at odds with the orc, sometimes even locking horns with him over even the smaller kind of details. It's for that reason that he felt hesitant to elevate the orc to the position of High Blade over a long period of time, and felt even more conflicted when he was chosen to be Chieftain. While feeling a certain respect for the orc and his martial achievements, Kozgugore himself never truly felt militaristic at heart. As such, it was not only that he left the tribe upon that fateful night to go searching for his lost mate alone, but just as much so because he couldn't bear to follow orders of an orc he had so often found himself in disagreement with. When he finally came to terms with his fate and returned himself to the tribe, he still had trouble settling into his new role as High Blade and advisor. In the end however, he couldn't help but at least have a degree of respect for Rargnasha, realizing all too well that he too must have come to realize the burdens and responsibilities of being a Chieftain. Even if there were many decisions that Koz still didn't manage to see eye to eye with.

Spoiler: "Rashka Facebreaker" • show

Rashka can be a bit of a sulk and a loudmouth, if caught at the wrong moments. Although he wasn't present for them himself, he's all too willing to believe that the orc has committed some wrongs in the past. None of them are the kind that he would consider an intense wrong however, and he believes they are only minor stains in what is the picture of a very skilled warrior. One of the best in his tribe, in fact. In his ever-lasting, idealistic quest to find and retrieve the best out of every single orc, he's willing to believe the she-orc is capable of a great many admirable acts to come still, and hopes that with a little bit of faith placed in her will see her motivated enough to at least try and reach for it.

Spoiler: "Rhonya Steelheart" • show

Rhonya is a sister, bound in blood. That alone is a feat worthy of recognition in Koz's eyes, as he's all too hesitant to let anyone grow remotely close to him, let alone end up making it a blood-sister and having him worry personally about the orc's health and safety. He's lost too much family already, and bonding himself to anyone in such a way is certain to have him be willing to go through extreme lengths to ensure not another name is added to that long list of lost loved ones.

In practice, his relation to Rhonya can be a strange one, however. Sometimes, it's him gifting her with words of wisdom or trying to console and advise her in times of need. At others, it's her who takes exactly that role upon her as one of Koz's only trusted orcs. He feels welcome in her presence, as well as respected. But above that, he feels accepted. For both his strong points, as well as his flaws. For she knows quite a few of both.

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

Kozgugore's relation to Sadok has always been rather hit and miss. Sometimes he wants to knock the orc unconscious. Sometimes he wants to give him a good, firm pat on the back. Sometimes he wants to just really strangle him. Thankfully enough, the latter sentiment has gotten far less over the past few months. Better yet, there's a certain concern that Sadok's responsibilities may eventually change him in time, and when Koz finds himself realizing that, he can't help but realize that he does care about the orc. They have been kindred spirits in the way that fate has treated them over the course of time, and though they never truly found any common ground due to the stark contrast in their personalities, he knows that deep down, he respects Sadok in equal measure as to how he like to think that Sadok respects him in return. Even if the latter might be called into question at times, depending on the orc's choice of words towards Koz. He can still be very much inclined to give the babbling orc the evil eye when he's in one of his "moods", but at the end of the day, he will never truly bring himself to knock him unconscious, let alone strangle him. Perhaps just a very, very light slap on the back of his head.

Spoiler: "Sinami Swifthowl" • show

Kozgugore's relation to Sinami is an interesting one, considering they completely avoided one another throughout the first few months that the she-orc traveled with the tribe. What's more, in their first noteworthy encounter, they locked horns in an argument neither of them would have quite possibly even cared about afterwards. Then they avoided one another again, until they happened upon one another on a hill in Nagrand. And then, out of nowhere, he uncovered what lies hidden underneath this orc's outer shell. Amazed, intrigued and bewondered, he couldn't help but be completely caught unaware when he found himself developing strong feelings for this orc.

He's still not quite recovered from that surprise, nor really knows -how- it exactly came to be, but what he does know is that she awakened a very big flame inside of him. He also knows that he wants to continue on chipping away at her, finding out every little piece of her that she has been hiding from plain view, as to instead accept it as a part of something beautiful and respectful. What he knows above all else however, is that he's begun caring about her. A great deal, in fact. And even though he doesn't know where both their paths might lead, something in him does hope those paths will eventually converge, and will continue to do so for a long time to follow.

Spoiler: "Srelok Grimtide" • show

Kozgugore can't help but be a little bit wary of Grimtide. He respects the orc for his services to the tribe well enough, but every time he treads near, Kozgugore's mind simply wants to shut down, trying to ensure nothing from his mind might seep through into Srelok's. He knows the orc doesn't truly intend to read his mind every single time they meet, but there's always that ever-present risk. And exactly that is the problem at hand: Kozgugore definitely doesn't want anyone intruding on his mind or his feelings without invitation. And so his mind goes just a little more blank every time this orc comes near, in an attempt to suppress every emotion and unique thought.

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Koz and Therak's history has been an interesting one. His very first memory of the orc is finding him in the Drag as a member of the Sixty Thieves. Whereas that already meant that he regarded the orc with a certain, prejudiced suspicion, that suspicion grew even worse when he found Therak threatening and fighting Morgeth, who both orcs once had feelings for. Details aside, the most important thing Koz remembers is that there was a particular death threat involved at the end of it all.

Five years later, and there he is, standing by Kozgugore's side in any of the important tribal gatherings or meetings, serving as his trusted bodyguard as well as his informant. How it came to be like this is still not entirely clear to Koz. He just remembers accepting the orc for who he is: An honest, somewhat unconventional yet trustworthy orc, who somehow made it to the rank of Varog'Gor through his sheer determination. And now, having seen this orc's true nature through his initiation ritual, he can't help but respect him all the more. Something in him tells him that perhaps, should they choose to one day properly sit down and have a proper and casual enough talk, they might even have what it takes to become brothers in a sense. Or perhaps their natures will prevent it from truly being so in the end. But regardless of what their relation to one another is, he knows he respects this once-thief, and considers him as one of the finest orcs his tribe has to offer. Even if he wears a ridiculous hat that doesn't befit a Varog'Gor a lot of the time.

Spoiler: "Trakmar Beastbane" • show

Trakmar is old, at times grumpy and just perhaps a bit of a lost soul in an inhospitable world. The description almost fits Kozgugore himself to the letter, and he can't help but feel a faint degree of sympathy for the Mag'har. And yet he can't suppress the feeling of a certain distrust every now and then - an after-effect of his acts committed in the past - and wonder what it would take to have the orc snap once again, who knows to what effect that time around. He will consider the Mag'har just as much of a child of the pack as any other, and will treat him with the degree of faith he's earned back thus far. But there will always be that one, watchful eye, looking on in doubt.

[Kozgugore]

Bonus (inactive/non-player characters):

Spoiler: "Akesha Redblade" • show

Kozgugore once considered himself a lost soul - a lone wolf - in a dangerous, inhospitable world that offered no solace to the kind of orc who had lost everything and everyone. But then there was Akesha. And Akesha will, for better or worse, always be Koz's Matriarch. She is the one who brought him back to the Red Blades and, in his eyes, back to the true ways of his people. She handed him leadership of the tribe when she saw herself forced to part ways with the tribe, and to this day, he considers it a personal oath to Akesha to ensure her legacy lives on. Should she ever choose to return, were she still alive, and would request leadership of the tribe once more, she would be the only orc he would feel inclined to willingly hand over the reins to, knowing she would always be the tribe's true leader.

Spoiler: "Greggar Ironfoot" • show

Kozgugore misses Greggar a great deal. He never thought he would have lived to admit it, but he misses the days that he could spend time to talk about simple nonsense with this kind-hearted and perhaps just a little naive orc. Granted, he was just a little too kind-hearted for his own good, but he was still an honourable and loyal orc to the bone. One of the most loyal and honourable he has ever met, in fact, and despite having refused to take on any blood siblings since having lost all of those made in childhood, Greggar was the first that did manage to make Kozgugore's stubborn mind shaky in its convictions to remain cold and distant to everyone around him. And perhaps, just perhaps, his road to opening up to orcs in more recent times, however sporadic it might be, all started with this gentle and sometimes a little bit of a strange orc.

Spoiler: "Karak Stormsong" • show

Although Kozgugore has no idea where this incessantly annoying orc has gone off to, he can't help but think back in a rather positive light when he thinks of Karak. That would likely change as soon as he would show up again, and would remind Kozgugore just how annoying and infuriating he could be with his presence alone. Still, when he thinks back, all he can think of is how level-headed the orc actually was, compared to all others around him. In the end, he was in fact a very dependable and intelligent orc. Unconventional and entirely un-orcish, true. But sometimes, being not a traditionalist like Koz himself is something of a positive addition in itself. Even he realizes this, and Karak is a prime example of it. And that is why even up to this very day, he does not regret once having made Karak Rrosh-tul, and might just do so again, were it ever an option once more.

Spoiler: "Morgeth Feralheart" • show

Morgeth was once the love of Kozgugore's life. She had a fierce will of her own and arguably a foul attitude for one who was meant to serve as an example to the entire rest of a tribe, but nonetheless he respected her and held her dear. She gifted him with three children, all of which he still deeply cares for, even if he's forced to be apart from them by a great distance, and in each of them he can still find and recognize a part of her own being and personality. She herself however, has been ripped far away from his own mind and touch. For years, he has searched for her and hoped to find signs of her, but after her unannounced departure, there's simply no place for Kozgugore to even know where to begin searching. She is well and truly gone in his eyes, either dead or taken by the demons that pulled at her for so long, and he hates her for it. All that love he has felt for her has turned into sheer, naive hatred, for leaving him like that and leaving not a single track for him to follow. Every time he thinks back of her, he tries to recall all the good and precious times. But every single good thought is eventually doomed to branch off, leading him to the dark and forlorn conclusion that she has abandoned him for good. Once, it was a thought that nipped at his thoughts, breeding despair within him. But in more recent times, he has begun to try and accept to live with the ghosts of his past. And perhaps, just perhaps, there's the chance he could at least crack a small smile at a long forgotten memory of hers, in between all that bitterness. And if not that, there are still his children, should he ever see them again, that would at least remind him of good times long gone, and giving him a renewed purpose to keep on fighting, no matter how alone he himself might ever end up becoming.

Spoiler: "Shrewd" • show

Ever since the two have rescued one another in the Outlands, Koz and Shrewd have become inseparable. It might prove difficult indeed to ever catch the two separated from one another, and for good reason. There's a bond between the two that seems have far surpassed the usual connection between orc and animal. It's almost as if in a heartbeat, they would be one another, and know one another more perfectly than two separate beings ever -should-. Kozgugore trusts the dire wolf with his life, and may have done so one more than just one occasion to boot, and that is all that truly needs to be said of their bond. Because that is all that matters.

[Sadok]

Copypasta circa September 2014!

Sadok Sharptongue

Sadok considers his own position within his tribe shaky and untenable, more a relic of Kozgugore’s tribe than the kind of orc who would become an Elder under Rargnasha’s more militant leadership style.

He has found himself occupying a strange Devil’s Advocate role — as an orcish arcanist, he typifies the progressive archetype of orcs adapting and evolving upon Azeroth, yet as Thur’ruk, he must defend his people’s traditions and cultures against erosion from the largely apathetic, ignorant younger generation of orcs. He fears losing his position as Thur’ruk the moment it becomes politically convenient, and believes himself under-appreciated and mistrusted by many of the tribe’s other Elders.

Sadok’s insecurity most obviously manifests itself in the detached, flippant persona he often displays before the tribe — he would rather erect a barrier of wordplay, exaggerated arrogance and  faux-bonhomie than speak frankly about his worries and often paranoid delusions. Though he was offered respite from undeath by the spirits, he is bound by a complex set of Oaths that will cause his worldly and eternal demise should they be broken — he finds it simpler to keep his head down and obey than cause too much of a fuss.

Sadok can hold grudges for a long time inwardly, but prefers not to make enemies overtly. His number one priority is the preservation and continued growth of the Red Blade tribe, and the personal feuds and pride between many of its orcs only make him weary.

Spoiler: "Rargnasha Bloodmark" • show

Professionally, Sadok appreciates that Rargnasha is tasked with a hard job as Chieftain, and respects his ability to inspire others upon the field of battle.

He nonetheless considers him prideful and prone to pursuing personal grudges to the detriment of his tribe; more concerned with his status in the Horde at large, and organising other forces than in managing the daily concerns of the orcs below him. His propensity to hide things from even his closest advisors concerns him — Sadok will be keen not to repeat another ‘dragonsblood incident’, but fears he won’t be able to prevent it ahead of time.

Personally, Sadok and Rargnasha have never been friends, and Sadok believes that the one time he placed trust in Bloodmark, he wriggled out of a blood-oath and betrayed him. He thus believes that while Rargnasha can be amiable in fair-weather, he will not hesitate to discard or sacrifice the orcs below him, treating them more as disposable infantry than individuals. He will never forgive him for taking his first mate Vashnarz from him, nor for killing her without second thought.

Spoiler: "Rhonya Steelheart" • show

Sadok views Rhonya as his closest confidant, and she has had to rein him in when he has taken his duty too seriously or brought himself close to burn-out. Once his pupil, he still views her as the junior Thur’ruk, but her more orthodox spiritualism and legitimate bond to the elements makes him feel inadequate by comparison.

He also resents that his concerns can often only be safely aired by using Rhonya to speak with Rargnasha, as her close relationship with the Chieftain means she can say things that would be ignored or result in harsh consequences if Sadok had said them.

Rhonya was responsible for leading the efforts to restore Sadok back to life. He will never forget this, and considers her indirectly responsible for any of the good things in his life — this is why he accepted her request to become blood-siblings.

Spoiler: "Kyrazha Throatrender" • show

Kyrazha is Sadok’s new mate — she helped him move on from the cesspool of self-loathing he found himself in for over a year after Vashnarz left him. She shares some qualities with his former mate, but he has come to value and love her as her own distinct person — her reliance on instinct, her warm and cheerful nature, and her simplistic view of life takes Sadok completely out of his typical comfort zone, and encourages him to be a better, stronger orc.

Nonetheless, some of Sadok’s insecurities take longer than others to die. Despite being in a stable, happy relationship with her, he cannot dismiss his fear of her being taken away from him by another orc — as such, he strains and works himself to exhaustion to try and please her and keep her satisfied. He knows that her heart is true, however, and will die without hesitation to protect her and their unborn cubs.

Spoiler: "Karak Stormsong" • show

Sadok and Karak were at loggerheads from his first day in the tribe. Despite their differences of opinion, they had more in common than either were prepared to admit, and from animosity soon moved to a mutual respect.

When the undead Sadok had been forsaken by the vast majority of the tribe and betrayed by those closest to him, Karak alone was willing to stand up for him, and largely sacrificed his own hard-earned position as Rrosh-tul in the process. Sadok respects Karak’s integrity, no matter his unorthodox views on war and the Light, and will always consider him a brother.

Spoiler: "Trakmar Bloodmaw" • show

Sadok always found the Mag’har amiable, and appreciated his lack of pretensions and respect for tradition. Their common bond to the fallen Keishara tied them together, and they were soon blood brothers at Trakmar’s behest. Sadok struggled with Trakmar’s pride however, and tried his best to shape him into an orc who could contribute to the tribe without sacrificing his principles, training him as Gosh’kar.

When a half-dazed Kyrazha forced her lips onto Sadok, he tried to break the kiss in deference to Trakmar — he did not wish to inflict the same betrayal onto Bloodmaw as Rargnasha once did to him. Sadok felt guilty for weighing Trakmar’s happiness against his own, and when Kyrazha chose Sadok over the Mag’har, he tried to assuage his blood-brother’s feelings.

Trakmar’s assault of an unarmed Sadok in Stranglethorn nearly cost him his life and left him permanently disfigured, however. Sadok would find it difficult to approach or speak to the Mag’har again, especially given his unrepentant attitude. Even now, Sadok is unsure if he can forgive Trakmar for severing their bond so violently.

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

Sadok deeply respects Kozgugore. Serving as Chieftain for the majority of his time with the Red Blades, he considers him to be grounded in tradition without letting it blind him, and a more balanced leader than Rargnasha’s war-centric ethos. He was honoured that Kozgugore saw him fit to become High Blade Thur’ruk, and continues to try and uphold his values within the tribe at large. He is, for lack of a better term, still the Chieftain of Sadok’s heart.

Since his fall from Chieftain, Sadok has increasingly considered Kozgugore a kindred spirit — both became estranged from their mates, both increasingly finding themselves unimportant and irrelevant in a fast-changing tribe. Unfortunately, Kozgugore’s own grouchiness and detachment doesn’t mesh well with Sadok’s flippant persona, so the two have rarely connected bar a handful of occasions.

Spoiler: "Grogona Marshfang" • show

Sadok and Grogona have never been close, but he used to consider her a capable and good-spirited orc who could give much to the tribe. Her head-strong nature and lack of scruples increasingly irritated Sadok however, and he does not view it as a coincidence that her ascension to Rrosh-tul and whirlwind courtship of the Chieftain occurred so closely together. Now, he views her strictly as a sycophant who can be expected to echo her mate’s every argument and belief.

Spoiler: "Mozrogg Doomhowl" • show

Sadok always found Mozrogg entertaining company, and despite his bucket-headed nature, a worthy orc to spar with both physically and verbally. He is unsure what series of events led to his exit from the tribe, or why he ended up with the Blood Wolf Clan, but he seems largely contented in his new station and Sadok can respect that.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

Sadok finds Krogon a complex orc, one whose passion and conviction is both his greatest strength and greatest weakness. He can appreciate his integrity and often finds him a keen and insightful debater, but his paranoia towards perceived enemies and inability to let small slights go can often escalate arguments and deteriorate fragile situations. Nonetheless, Krogon has proven himself competent in nearly all areas of tribe duty, and Sadok considers him an eminently useful orc to have on his side.

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Sadok doesn’t quite like Therak, for some reason he can’t put his finger on. His stubbornness, the glee he exhibits in strategically withholding information and namedropping nameless contacts and sources, and his mistrustful, humourless outlook all grate on Sharptongue somewhat. He can however respect his competence and dedication to his craft, and he feels they both share the same personal grudge towards Rargnasha.

Spoiler: "Gridish Rimeweaver" • show

Sadok finds Gridish somewhat cold. Despite being a fellow arcanist, he has little time to discuss magical theory or even the nuances of his own craft. He often has little to add around the campfire, with his obnoxious talking spell-tome supplying most of the conversation. He is uncertain whether a ranged spell-caster is truly fit for the martial frontline duties of the Path of Strength, and feels he may have been best served continuing as Gul’thauk or perhaps aspiring to Varog’Gor.

Spoiler: "Groshnok Gorewrath" • show

Groshnok reminds Sadok of Mozrogg — he has the same lazy intelligence that is content to wallow in mediocrity rather than achieve his full potential. He despairs of his use of alcohol as a crutch, like Revax before him, and believes that he can become a model Nag’Ogar — it just doesn’t appear that he wants to.

Spoiler: "Rashka Facebreaker" • show

Rashka is akin to Vashnarz in Sadok’s mind. Fierce but with a softer side often hidden from view, Sadok feels that despite her dominance in duels, she has yet to establish herself as a prominent orc of the tribe. He is uncertain as to why she has not yet become Nag’Ogar, but does not believe her capable of much else without becoming more confident and comfortable in her own skin.

Spoiler: "Gashuk Soulfury" • show

Gashuk’s hypocritical claim to venerating the spirits whilst practising the fel magic that abhorred them so was initially equal parts inexplicable and infuriating to Sadok — he could not see why the orc was respected by so many others of the tribe. Initially trying to persuade him off his destructive path, Sadok has become proud of the orc for going the distance himself and trying to make a meaningful attempt at redemption. The two still do not know one another well, but Sadok considers Gashuk a promising prospect for a higher station within the tribe.

Spoiler: "Grim Stonepaw" • show

Sadok and Grim have come to blows over the past, and he considers Stonepaw to be an incendiary loose-cannon who cannot put the greater good over his own pride. Nonetheless, Sadok cannot deny the orc’s charisma or potential usefulness, and he believes the current feud between Red Blade and Blood Wolf to be detrimental to both groups and the Horde at large.

Grim also delivered Sadok’s first and only child, Igurg — though he finds this initially difficult to reconcile with his current hostile demeanor, it serves as a reminder that relations were once better and might improve again in the future.

Spoiler: "Hikka Redeye" • show

Hikka confuses, scares and arouses Sadok in equal measures. Now that he’s mated, he’s hoping to keep the feisty troll as far away from him as possible.

Spoiler: "Moneyfix Sparks" • show

Moneyfix was a source of amusement for Sadok at first, but as the goblin continued to travel with the tribe, he found him a worthy brother in arms and a staunch ally at the Horde Arcane Conclave. The pair are no longer so close, partly due to distance and partly due to souring relations between Rargnasha and others in the Flying Bolts, but Sadok has no reason to dislike Moneyfix and still gets on relatively well with him.

Spoiler: "Abulos Sunwing" • show

Despite his instinctual prejudice towards blood elves, Sadok has found Abulos unusually mild and forward-thinking in his views. He cannot understand his habitual usage of magic for minor conveniences, nor his love of luxury and decadence, but he can respect his intellect and considers him a friend.

I had no idea this would take so long. <.<

[Sinami]

Sinami

Sinami's experiences with other orcs have not been particularily pleasant and this has made her very wary of approaching them. But she is -extremely- curious by nature and her longing to belong and find a place to call home one day sometimes gets the better of her and she decides to seek out others of her kind anyway. This is something that Sinami views both as a curse and a blessing. Her curiosity has allowed her to experience and explore a lot of distant lands and cultures, but it has also caused her a lot of grief. She is trying to walk that fine balance now, to not let her curiosity get out of hand... but she finds it very difficult.

She is also very insecure about her blindness. She has been called freak enough times throughout her life to start believing it, but she tries her best to hide this insecurity behind a joking and cheerful facade. She also harbours a fear of being considered weak and will do almost anything to prove that she isn't. She is stubborn to a fault and will not bend easily.

How she views some others:

Spoiler: "Orcs of the Red Blade" • show

The first group of orcs who hasn't chased her away, for which she is very grateful. She is very happy that they accepted her into their community with more or less open arms and she is proud to call herself one of them.

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

They are both incredibly stubborn and firm in their beliefs, and when all that stubborness and those beliefs clash there is bound to be sparks. Their initial headbutting was thankfully resolved as a missunderstanding and they managed to leave any hurt feelings behind them. Sinami isn't quite sure of how or when it happened, but her feelings towards Kozgugore took a sharp turn and landed her in a heap of feelings so strong it takes her breath away. She's still trying to come to terms with these feelings and what they will mean for her future, but for now all she knows is that she doesn't want to be parted from this orc if she can help it. More recently their relationship has become a bit strained, due to the fact that she ended up loving Srelok just as much as Kozgugore... how ever will she be able to choose between the orcs she loves best?

Spoiler: "Rargnasha Bloodmark" • show

Sinami did NOT get along with the former Chieftain of the Red Blades in the beginning. The two of them are quite similar and that resulted in them rubbing against each other the completely wrong way. But they eventually managed to solve their initial conflict and realised that they had more in common than either of them had thought. There was some interest from both sides initially, but Sinami didn't feel ready to commit and when she came back from some time away Rargnasha had left the tribe on business of his own. Somewhat relieved that she wouldn't have to deal with it immediately Sinami moved on, and hopes that they can just go back to being friends if he comes back.

Spoiler: "Kogra Windwatcher "Frostwolf" " • show

Sinami liked Frostwolf right from the start. She finds her to be kind and easygoing and she values the friendship the other she-orc has offered her very highly. Frostwolf is one of the first real friends Sinami has ever made and when Frostwolf asked her to make a bloodoath to become her sister in blood Sinami didn't hesitate for one moment. Having gained Frostwolf as a sister, and thus regained a semblance of family, is one of the best things that has ever happened to Sinami and she still can't quite believe that it is real.

Spoiler: "Oguur Redhand" • show

Oguur has lived in the wilds, just like Sinami. Oguur doesn't like to stay inside camps, just like Sinami. Oguur is wary of other orcs, just like Sinami. They may be very different in personality, but they come from similar backgrounds and Sinami feels that this grants a sense of kinship. Oguur was the first real friend Sinami made aside from Frostfang, and just as with Frostwolf she values that friendship highly.

Spoiler: "Rhonya Steelheart" • show

Sinami likes this kindhearted she-orc and she also thinks that Rhonya needs to add some more steel to that backbone of hers, not just her heart. She is also happy about their newly forged friendship and the knowledge that Rhonya feels comfortable enough around her to unburden her heart sometimes... the ancestors knows Steelheart needs it!

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Sinami views this orc as one of her closest friends. He was one of the first orcs to ever show her kindness and she's grown increasingly comfortable in his presence and feels like she can talk to him about almost anything.

Spoiler: "Trakmar Beastbane" • show

Trakmar is yet another of Sinami's best friends. They share a lot of the same views and interests and she's always found him to be a comforting presence. She is a little sad, however, that she can't return his affections in the manner he might wish. She holds nothing but brotherly love for him, whereas his feelings towards her are anything but brotherly.

Spoiler: "Kyrazha Throatrender "Cat" " • show

Sinami is pretty curious about this orc that smells like trolls and cats. She seems to have a rather interesting sense of humour, and she talks funny too... but her direhorn cub is a nice playmate for Frostfang.

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

She's not exactly sure where she stands with Sadok. He was her tutor during her Newblood training and she got the impression that he was less than impressed with her at times, but despite his incredibly prickly nature she can't help but like him a little... at least it is fun to tease him and have Frostfang sit on him.

Spoiler: "Srelok Grimtide" • show

Sinami's and Srelok's relationship was quite hesitant and tentative in the beginning, but it quickly evolved into a deeply rooted friendship. After Frostfang's death Srelok was one of the orcs Sinami turned to most frequently and he helped her handle the grief of losing her companion and over time Sinami's feelings for Srelok began to change. An empathic bond formed between the two orcs, only deepening their relationship further. Now she finds her heart torn in two between Kozgugore and Srelok, loving the two orcs equally. And while she can understand Srelok taking a step back to get some distance from her, she is deeply hurt by the fact that he has shut himself off from her completely...and in doing so cutting off their empathic bond as well.

Spoiler: "Mayabi "Sungrass" " • show

Sinami will be forever thankful for whatever force sent Sungrass her way. She doesn't know the troll at all, but Sungrass still offered to help her regain her sight temporarily... a gift that was beyond precious to Sinami and she will do anything in her power to help Sungrass, should the female troll ever need it.

[Srelok]

Srelok Grimtide

Self view
Srelok has been alone since a young age, after having fled his abusive father and growing up in the wilds of Azeroth. He has a pretty low self-esteem, mostly because how his father treated him. He's recently decided to let go of his past and focus on the future. He's an empath, which means he senses the emotions of those around him, which can make him seem haunted and which on occasion causes him to withdraw entirely due to fierce headaches. He sometimes fears he will still be rejected by those around him purely because they might think him different.
He cares deeply about the tribe and its members, And hates seeing anyone get hurt.

His view on a few of the others (In no particular order):

Spoiler: "Rhonya Steelheart" • show

His cousin and Elder of the tribe. He respects her for her accomplishments, but keeps his distance because he feel responsible for her rough childhood. When he escaped his father, he left her behind in his less-then-tender care. In his mind she's a babbling brook that slowly moves toward a waterfall.

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

This orc confuses him. Sometimes he is a font of wisdom and knowledge, but other times he almost seems brain-damaged. Srelok likens him to a Tsunami, because he can be so over bearing and loud (and not just vocally) Nevertheless, he realises Sadok has always had his back, since taking him as pupil-new blood. Ever since he's always been his tutor, for better or worse.

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

Srelok has the world of respect for the chieftain because he still stands after suffering so much and losing so many, But he's intimidated by the silent orc. He also does his best to suppress his empathic ability around him because he doesn't want to insult or otherwise discomfort the Old Oak.

Spoiler: "Gridish Rimeweaver" • show

An orc Srelok likes, but keeps at a distance for some reason he himself barely understands. He owes Gridish his life and will repay that debt however he can, but he is still careful around the mage.

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Another orc Srelok is careful around. Something about Therak just calls 'lethal'. Srelok understands his position in the tribe and respects him, even if only because he's Steelheart's mate, but he will probably never call him friend.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

An orc he finds hard to understand. At times he's fully honorable and venerable, but sometimes he can be so hostile towards everyone. All in all Srelok's not sure he likes the old blademaster, but he respects his strength of will.

Spoiler: "Kargnar Bloodpaw" • show

An orc he actually calls friend. They watch eachothers backs and talk about things others need not know. Srelok quite enjoys his company, even when his headaches return.

Spoiler: "Vraxxar Wildmark" • show

Another orc he calls friend. He trusts Vraxxar with his life and would givve his own to save Vraxxar in return. Vraxxar has a way of getting Srelok t talk about things he'd rather not say, to a degree.

Spoiler: "Sinami Swifthowl" • show

A female he loves with all his heart, but who can never be his. They've hurt each other rather badly over the last few months, and Srelok hopes he can put aside his feelings and just be friends with her, though his hope is very thin.

Spoiler: "Kogra Windwatcher" • show

a female he has mixed feelings about. He nearly killed himself trying to save her, but when se confessed her feelings for him he found himself unable to answer in kind. They are very alike, and that's one of the reasons he'd rather protect her like an older brother protects his kid sister.

Spoiler: "Magrahra Emberheart" • show

A female he likes and respects for the choices she's made, and one he worries about. He's felt the emotional scars she bears and even though he's not that good at healing that type of wound, he wants to help her even if only a little.

Spoiler: "Kyrazha Throatrender" • show

The Hurricane. Srelok likes her for her honesty and simple logic, but tends to keep his distance a bit because of an earlier mistake he'd made. He trusts her judgment completely though.

Spoiler: "Makaroth Bloodaxe" • show

An orc he greatly respects for his decision to put aside what was basically his entire life to change who he is. He senses a great deal of hurt and sorrow in the orc and wants to help him heal.

OUtside the tribe:

Spoiler: "Azguh" • show

A female he has very mixed feelings about. On one side she's intimidating and aloof, on the other he can't stop thinking about her, and wants to get to know her better.

Spoiler: "Roxxai" • show

A strange one, always eating and almost always affecting a confidence she doesn't actually feel. He's glimpsed past that though, recently. What lies beneath intrigues him.

[Bamm]

Self view
Arkail feels he has changed a lot since joining the Red blades. Having been removed from the worlds troubles for so long. He realizes now how little he really knew. His experiences in the rebellion, a trial by fire in what the world is about and what matters. What started as a brief stay with the Red Blades for his own gain turned into a undying resolve to the tribe and its well being

He recognizes his many failings when it comes to the battlefield and is first to admit them, not that it stops him from entering a fray when called upon. Always throwing himself into the frontline. Though he remains reserved and quiet. He feels now more "whole" and certain of himself and what he wants to be.

He is aware he rarely thinks bad of other tribe members, but has little interest in gaining friendship or a mate.  He feels with his advancement to Gul'thauk this is probably best kept this way. He sees the current vast amount of relationships withing the tribe troubling. He sees many breaking their oath over it and it disheartens him greatly.

The oath come first in all things for Arkail. Detached in many ways, but fiercely loyal to his very core. The advancement to Gul'thauk has only solidified his will and devotion to the tribe.


His views on a few others:

Kozgugore Feraleye:

Spoiler: show

Hasnt had many interactions with the chieftain, He finds him worthy of respect so far  though is unsure what the future holds for it. He is cautiously optimistic of the tribes future under his leadership.

Therak Duskstalker:

Spoiler: show

He sees Therak as a mentor, he finds his cunning and cleverness admirable  If he needs advise or a contact he will seek him out as the first port of call, though lately he seen the effect his role has had on him and how distant he has become a possible liability

Sadok Sharptongue:

Spoiler: show

He likes Sadok somewhat, His inventiveness and confidence. No matter how grim the situation may be.

Vanara Ashveil:

Spoiler: show

He finds Vanara's detachment at times relatable and understandable, but doesnt pry into her personal life and will talk freely with her about most things of non personal nature work, tribe etc.

Krogon Devilstep:

Spoiler: show

He saw in Krogon the history of the Orcish people. He was always concerned for the Orcs mood and actions at times, but also understood why was the way he was. He loved discussing ethics or the past with him. He does miss the old orc since his death

Rhonya Steelheart:

Spoiler: show

He sees Steelheart as worthy of respect, but knows all in the tribe do. Never really talked to her much outiside of his duties. He knows that no matter the situation she tends to try and puts others needs before the needs of herself

Gridish Rimeweaver:

Spoiler: show

He is comfortable speaking his mind freely with him about whether it be the task at hand, spellcraft or history.

Redskull:

Spoiler: show

He is confused by this orc at times, but will chat about most things with her and enjoy her jokes and stories even if he thinks she could be a liability in the future

Trakmar Beastbane:

Spoiler: show

Though they have little in common and rarely always agree on many matters. What started as sympathy for the old orc turned into sort of trust. Even if deep down he knows it probably wont end well

Kogra Windwatcher:

Spoiler: show

He worries frequently for this orc she pushes her limits too much and become a liability as her health suffers. Knows she is more than able of taking care of herself.

Siyahgosh:

Spoiler: show

He is very fond of this Orc. Would gladly talk at length with him about anything just to see his view on things. His 'familars' also interest him greatly.

Kyrazha Throatender:

Spoiler: show

Enjoys this orcs free spirit and honestly. Though does really want to give here proper elocution lessons at times

Srelok Grimtide:

Spoiler: show

Doesnt really know much about this orc on a personal level but respects him, his devotion to the tribe is admirable as is his seemingly is putting his tribe duties first a rare trait

Makaroth Bloodaxe

Spoiler: show

Finds this orcs transition from fel magic to steel baffling, does respect his will to resist and change what he can only imagine fel withdrawal is like and doesnt think it will last he will only endanger the tribe

[Therak]

Theraks past is mottled, and it affects everything he does.
He can't put his past as a thief entirely behind him, the way of thinking and the contacts he made are still deeply ingrained in him. He's slow to trust anyone, and quick to see trouble in the actions of others.
His heritage bothers him deeply, he finds himself unable to embrace it and he keeps expecting anyone who finds out to hate him. He takes great care to not actually lie about it, but rather answers evasively and only gives half the truth.
His place in the tribe he finds extremely uncertain. Most orcs seem to dislike him, if not openly then they still make sure to keep a distance to him. In his own mind he's standing outside the tribe looking in, and will probably always continue to do so. It's just the way things will have to be.
The spirits and the Elements bother him, he has a weak connection to them at best. Half the time he won't see the spirits the other orcs speak to during rituals, or even be affected by the boons given to others in the tribe.
Time and time again he needs to rely on his own wit and skill to survive where the others in the tribe are protected by the spirits. He's certain this has to do with his heritage.

Rhonya Steelheart

Spoiler: show

Rhonya was his mate, but he's failed her to the point where she left him. To make it worse, she broke the oaths and immediately after told him that he could not break his own. That was just twisting the knife. His trust for her is damaged, possibly beyond repair.

Rargnasha Bloodmark

Spoiler: show

The Former Chieftain, and so far Therak feels the change has been for the better. No longer does Theraks duties as a Varog'Gor conflict with his worries about any attempts on his mate, or even personal dislike.
Wonder where he is though...

Krogon Devilstep

Spoiler: show

A Blademaster and tribesorc Therak used to respect, but the more time passed the more he's lost that respect. He's warned two Chieftains about him already, but neither listened until it was too late. Even now with his latest crimes Therak has lost most patience with him. Of course, there's no need to let the Blademaster know the extent of that.

Groshnok Gorewrath

Spoiler: show

A useless drunkard, who instead of helping a fellow tribesorc when he is on fire, sits there and laughs. Therak is still waiting for that one excuse...

Kyrazha Throatrender

Spoiler: show

Strange orc, with much to learn. At least she got a good head on her shoulders. She's coming to him with the oddest things, and he'd much prefer to be elsewhere when she's drunk. Starting a conversation with "We need to talk." is always worrying. Even when it's not your mate.
He really has no idea what it is she sees in Sharptongue, but it's none of his business.

Gridish Rimeweaver

Spoiler: show

Finally he's gotten his head out of his arse. Perhaps the beating he took got some things set straight in his head. So far performing his duties as Rrosh-tul admirably. His treatment of Therak lately has done little to make him better liked. He's pushed his insults too far, but the memory of his foot connecting with Gridish's groin does bring an internal smile to Therak.

Kogra Windwatcher

Spoiler: show

An orc who can often be far more childish then is suitable. Curious and energetic, she somehow reminds Therak about an old friend.

Sadok Sharptongue

Spoiler: show

A strange orc, he tutored Therak in the ways of the tribe, and for that he'll always have some gratitude. But he needs to learn to rest at times.
He's a little too quick to grab for power though...
Sharptongues inability to take Theraks concerns seriously has begun getting on his nerves. He seems unable to listen to a Varog'Gor and it's begun having effects on the rest of the tribes safety...

Gashuk Soulfury

Spoiler: show

So far a fairly reliable orc. He may be able to go far. If only he was seen more often.

Caruk Blackhand

Spoiler: show

Should have been removed as a Gul'thauk, if not from the tribe already. The slightest slip will send him sliding a long way down...

Sykela

Spoiler: show

A strange troll... Her habits are probably as strange to him as his is to her. Perhaps in time they'll be friends, but for now all he can expect is that she won't be killing him. She's had the chance and not taken it. She's interesting and he has much he can learn from her.
He's curious of why she keeps popping up around him, is she following him? And why did she claim she had missed him...

Kozgugore Feraleye

Spoiler: show

Once again a Chieftain, and finally Therak has been taught more of what it's supposed to mean to be a Varog'Gor.
Therak has an immense respect for Feraleye, both for what he's done for the tribe in the past and for what he's done for Therak in the past weeks.
The title of 'Wolf King' tryly fits this orc.
Lately he's proven Theraks worries right. Clearly not bothering with anything Therak brings to him. It doesn't make things simpler to be a Varog'Gor...

Sinami Swifthowl

Spoiler: show

Therak likes this orc, which is rare enough and certainly cause for one or two warning bells in his head. But he's chosen to pay little attention to them and instead enjoy the fact that an orc is willing to listen to him, and even ask for his advice. Her blindness is no cause for concern for him, she's proven capable on her own and his own experience without sight makes it her company... comfortable.
By now she's one of Theraks very rare close friends.
After Frostfangs death, Therak is putting a lot of effort into trying to get her to smile occasionally. He knows that she's going through something horrible, and he's prepared to be there for her.

Arkail Blastblade

Spoiler: show

An orc Therak sometimes is a little confused by. He understands Arkails love for books and learning, but his seeming unwillingness, or lack of skill in translating it into practical ability is a little dissapointing.

Rashka Facebreaker

Spoiler: show

Therak has little left over for this mess of an orc. Not only breaking the peace of Kosh'harg but doing so by assaulting a tribe member. Combined with a bad attitude she's just trouble waiting to happen... again.

Trakmar Bearclaw/Bloodmaw/Beastbane

Spoiler: show

This orc is quiet, and has been too much trouble already. At least he can be somewhat competent. He seems to be desperate to have a mate, incapable of being alone. Any untaken she-orcs should beware...

Rikclar Rendfist

Spoiler: show

Laughing skull... If they're all like this Therak will have a constant headache when in their lands. Doesn't take anything seriously and too fond of killing, too fond by far.

Srelok Grimtide

Spoiler: show

Rhonyas cousin, and to Therak an unknown in many things. He's a competent healer, if a bit reclusive. Competent healers are good...

Morgeth Feralheart

Spoiler: show

Morgeth and Therak had a strange relationship, half the time he wants to kill her. The other half he wants to be her friend. Somehow when it really mattered they had eachothers back. Morgeths assasination attempts seemed to be more out of habit then spite.
He actually misses her now that she's gone... She kept him on his toes.

[Okiba]

Krogon Devilstep

Krogon has undergone a deep change since his younger years, his past before the tribe was a mess of oafish pride consumed mistakes and unfortunate circumstance surrounding the death of his mate and brother. these days he is less concerned with making himself outwardly and inwardly honorable and thus preffering to do the 'right' thing over the 'wrong' or 'honorable'. His time in internment, specificaly that small cage, gave him plenty to reflect on and he eventually (after 15 years of going near mad and back again) resolved himself to pursuing doing what is right for the Orcish people first, and valuing everything else inherently Orcish second. He see's himself as a quiet Martyr, taking on the burdens blames and anguish of others, well aware this causes him to be viewed as something of a pariah, he'd rather be hated himself than let other Orcs go through what he had too.

He is highly loyal to his tribe, the red blades, and see's them as an ideal conduit through which to channel his efforts to maintain and uphold traditional and noble Orcish values. Trying his best to steer them away from the mistakes of the past, carried out by Grommash and Gul'dan, striving to set some sort of example.

Despite this, he often has bouts of hidden uncertainty over if he is indeed doing the 'right' thing, usually brought about by conflicts with family or tribe members (which are more or less the same thing, even if he doesn't say it), in particular with the events surrounding his escape from the Dark shaman. This has been confounded further this last year by the re-occuring visions and prophecies of several shaman and spirits envisioning his Doom. He is worried by this, alarmed that he may have little time left to help his Pack, using each day as best he can before he meets his demise.

Rargnasha Bloodmark

Spoiler: show

Krogon has the greatest respect for his Blood brother. they have shed blood, sweat and tears over the years to protect their tribe and way of life and have formed a solid if often silent bond. He knows his brother is an Orc to be relied on, but often worries his younger brother is hasty in his choices and stubborn in his resolve, but knows these are qualities he too once had to shed off and still has to consider today. At present his main worry is that he has ruined his bond with his brother, over events with dark shaman, though more commonly he worries his brothers appetite for females will be his downfall.

Therak Duskstalker

Spoiler: show

 Therak is an Orc Krogon believes is an example of the red blades future. Noting his cunning and ethics during their struggles against a particular band of females in the past, Krogon knew he would one day make a fine elder. At present however he worries he may have let down and shamed himself before his unofficial protege, he would speak to him on the matter privately but knows that the path of a Varog'gor is a often a lonely one and has chosen (since the old troubles are over) to leave him to shape the future of the Wolf claws as he see's fit..

Sadok Sharptongue

Spoiler: show

 Krogon likes Sadok. He isn't entirely sure 'why' though. He's stuck his neck out on dozens of occasions to either save his over linguistic hide and remains uncertain if it was worth it. Despite this, he knows Sadok is a deeply loyal Orc and an asset to tribe Red blade, though does on rare occasion worry about his past relationship with an exile and how it may effect his future, more so his obsessions with whoever he is fixated upon. On several occasions lately he has risked the lives of others in the name of his mate or their union, this may grow to be a problem especially if Sadok insists on wearing his heart on his sleeve so obsesively.

Rhonya Steelheart

Spoiler: show

 Rhonya is another Orc krogon see's as the future of tribe red blade. A warm hearted, kind and open Orc who helps without question or prejudice. He only worries that sometimes she does not exert herself to her fullest, giving in to doubt and rather quitting before making any real attempt at a challenging endeavour. In that regard he is glad Therak is there to push and guide her, he just hopes she learns to dig deep and push herself one day. Overall he's impressed at how despite not recieving an initially open welcome to the tribe, she has risen to a position of leadership and made it her own.

Kozgugore Feraleye

Spoiler: show

Kozgugore is the Chieftain, no mistaking that. Krogon is loyal to him, even if he was angry with Bloodmark for handing the leadership of the tribe back in such a brusque manner. That said and done he holds the deepest of respects for Feraleye, who he see's as strong willed, if a little solitary and brooding. He does often worry his leader isolates himself too much, but dares not push to build a real friendship with him out of shame for failing him on so many occasions. He just hopes Feraleye understands his reasons. He also regrets upsetting and arguing with him on numerous occassions, tempers flare but he wishes they could truelly of been friends. Long may he Reign as Wolfking, especially since Krogon was first to yell it to the spirits and proclaim him such.

Groshnok Gorewrath

Spoiler: show

He can't understand this Orcs obsession with killing, even after all the heart ache he's been through, it boggles the mind. If he just applied himself and learnt some restraint, he could go far, very far. Just a shame he stubbornly clings to blood letting.

Logush Goreseeker

Spoiler: show

Krogon niether likes, not outright dislikes Logush though he wishes he could of befriended him better. Sadly he has a habbit of not thinking with his head or quiting due to a lack of focus. Perhaps as time goes on he will shed off these wobbling problems and find himself on a sturdy path in life, but the Orc must learn focus!

Mokhtar Axenheart

Spoiler: show

A warsong warrior, through and through no doubt, he just wishes the Orc would dedicate himself to the tribe properly, rather than sit on the sidelines clinging to his Warsong habbits or skulking off to spend time with trolls rather than his own pack. Again, another Orc who needs to learn focus, but above that perspective and trust.

Srelok Grimtide

Spoiler: show

Krogon has come to admire this Orc. Devout and dedicated to the spirits and shamanism despite having plenty of reason to fear or shun them due to his gifts. He is both helpful, outgoing and determined. A great asset to the tribe and a fine Gosh'kar.

Kyrazha Throatrender

Spoiler: show

Troll, to put it bluntly. She hasn't an Orcish bone in her body and he deeply resents her lack of duty to her former mate, so easily shunning Trakmar in favour of Sadok despite the vows made in orcish tradition. That feud, that she so eagerly and readily stoked caused far too much trouble for the tribe as a whole, and he knows she hid stuff. Credit where credit is due, she may not be intelligent but she is crafty, but not nearly as crafty as she thinks. He wholly expects her relationship with Sharptongue to become a blistering sore on the side of the tribe once again, inevitably.

Kogra Windwatcher.

Spoiler: show

Mad, she has to be mad. Who makes pacts with spirits that blind you everytime you call on their aid? it beggars belief. That said, she is a good, honest Orc who values her Frostwolf heritage deeply, but doesn't let it get in the way of embracing her new found Red blade loyalties. Who knows, in time she may make a fine Thur'ruk.

Sinami

Spoiler: show

Who? Krogon remains baffled as to just where this Orc came from. Bloodmark had an eye for her, he knew that, perhaps Grogona and he seperating be because of her? Then Trakmar took a shine to her... and now she's been sitting alone with the Chieftain a lot of late, is Emberheart out of the picture? It could all be harmless, but the pattern is unusual and a little alarming. From what he has seen of her personally, she is bit of a vagrant, a bum. She sits about the tribes fires and contributes little to it when need arises, blind or not, she lets or uses her disability to avoid doing anything remotely important to the tribe. Building relationships with the other females too, it seems, another Shargla Thunderfang perhaps. Regardless, she is weary, if certain of herself, one to keep an eye on.

Gashuk soulfury

Spoiler: show

Krogon is impressed by Gashuk, if with some hesitation. A warlock trying to grow closer to the spirits and forsaken the fel? if it all goes to plan he believes it a noble cause, but remains weary of if the Orc slips back down a dark path. Overall he understands that they both share traditional values and notions, but knows better than to let that bridge any bond between himself and a fel user.

Rikclar

Spoiler: show

Stubborn, willfull, if a little bit of a glutton for pain and on the verge of being a full on psychopath, He really has no idea how to treat this Orc, bar with tempered warnings and all at arms length.

Rashka Facebreaker

Spoiler: show

He doesn't know Rashka that well, but often see's that she far too readily back chats elders and makes threats to warn them off in matters that are not her concern, simply because an Orc she associates is rightly in trouble. This, aside from being dangerous, would hamper her progression in the tribe. With a little more experience she would make a capable Rrosh'tul, though she is a supremely skilled fighter, she muster temper her skills with patience, modesty and reserve if she wants to be respected.

Vraxxar

Spoiler: show

Doesn't know much of the Frostwolf, but he accepts he is good hearted. with time he may establish himself well in the tribe, if he can overcome more childish sentiments and novice mistakes among his peers, come on... what kind of archer who has never thrown a weapon, only plays axe throwing games with other orcs? lets hope experience hardens him.

Gridish Rimeweaver

Spoiler: show

He trained Gridish up himself, from an Orc who spent the majority of his time being beaten bloody by a would be mate to a self empowered, cunning Gul'thauk who later wen't on to become a Rrosh'tul in his own right. Even impressed with his magical martial skill, Gridish has excelled in Krogons eyes and hopes he remains in his position for a long time to come, setting a fine example of how strength comes in many forms. Just a shame about that dam book...

Thats all for now, i'l add more later.

[Vezara]

Vezara Wolfheart

Vezara has always struggled with low self-esteem and low confidence ever since she was young and lost her parents. She always felt weak and inferior both physically and mentally and has had a hard time over the past recent years dealing with the loss of friends and mates. Despite this, she acts tough and strong most of the time, and may often come across as a very overconfident orc. She strives to become a better and stronger orc, both physically and mentally and as a person, hoping that one day she'll live up to her own expectations.

She cares a lot about the Red Blade Tribe, and feels fortunate to be a part of such an honorable and strong group of orcs. While she's not fond of all the orcs in the tribe, she does not regret joining them and feel like she has the tribe and many of it's members to thank for many of her self-improvements. She sees herself as a good orc and think she is at least somewhat useful to the Red Blades, and hopes that they think so too. She also cares a lot for her friends and family, and would do anything for them. She is not always good at showing that however, and can sometimes seem distant or hide her feelings.

Vezara's view on others (In random order):

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

Vezara consider Sadok her friend, even though she may not show it very often or talk to him a lot. She respects him a lot and admire his knowledge over both the spiritual and the arcane. He has helped her several times in the past, and she is very grateful for that. She sometimes find it hard to take him seriously, and isn't always sure if he really means what he says or not. She thinks he is a good and honorable orc and thinks she is lucky to have a friend like him, even though he sometimes make her feel uncomfortable with inapropriate comments and gestures.

Spoiler: "Karak Stormsong" • show

This orc joined the tribe about the same time as Vezara did, and he had a rather flirty attitude  towards her during that time, something she thought was rather annoying, rejecting him several times. They would often end up arguing and insulting each other over small matters. Although she never told Karak, she often felt like they were like brother and sister, and while she often find him annoying she respects him and cares about him. She thinks Karak is whiney and weak, but at least has the guts to stand up for himself and speak his mind, something she respscts a lot. She thinks Karak is a good orc, beneath his rude and way too honest personality.

Spoiler: "Kogra Windwatcher" • show

Vezara's blood sister. She has not known Kogra for a very long time, but they bonded and became close friends very quickly, then blood sisters not long after. She thinks Kogra is strong and confident despite the things that have happened to her recently, and thinks of her as her little sister that she needs to take care of and look out for. Vezara respects and admires Kogra's wisdom and her knowledge over the elements and the spirits and feel like she has accomplished much for someone so young. She feels she gets along very well with Kogra and hope they'll remain blood sisters, although she fears Kogra one day will disappear as well, like most of her past friends.

Will add many more later!

[Gridish]

First off, my apologies if I missed you or it seems short.. I'm just pretty bad at this >.< and this is also a pure IC view on the orcs.. nothing OOC D:.. apart from Koz. I lurves koz.

Self view:

Over the few years he's spent with the Red Blades, he's gone from doubting his own skills to a Rrosh'tul of the Red blades. At first he had never seen himself fill the spot of a general of sorts but now he can't think of being anywhere else but that position.

During the years he's grown to know his fears, some newly obtained, others he's carried from the past. His biggest fear right now is letting the tribe and it's members down in any way. He simply wants to help bring them home safely.

View on others:

Spoiler: "Kozgugore Feraleye" • show

Gridish doesn't know a whole lot when it comes to Kozgugore personally, but he respects the Chieftain highly. When Gridish is around Kozgugore he can feel an aura of respect, calmness and wisdom. Gridish enjoys having Kozgugore Feraleye as a Chieftain. maybe he will be lucky enough to call Kozgugore his friend.

Spoiler: "Sadok Sharptongue" • show

"Shut up" is the first thing that comes to Gridish' mind while thinking about Sadok. Gridish doesn't take Sadok's word highly after the numerous reckless ideas and plans that Sadok has shared with the tribe. Sometimes he even wonders why the, clearly, insane orc has been chosen to take the title of High Blade Thur'ruk. Gridish fears that Sadok doesn't only endanger himself with his nutjob plans, but feels the entire tribe's safety is in jeopardy.

Spoiler: "Rhonya Steelheart" • show

Gridish enjoys spending time with Rhonya. He also knows that if there is anything that is bothering him, he can talk to the kind-hearted she-orc. He wished more orcs were like Rhonya, not just thinking about bashing heads in or always looking for ways to get the tribe into trouble. Just a calm orc that you can trust. He'll always try to be around to protect her and he'll make sure never to piss her off.. because he knows what she did with a certain newblood that pissed her off.

Spoiler: "Therak Duskstalker" • show

Doesn't have any pity for Therak. Gridish feels that Therak is too occupied with his personal life instead of furfilling his job of protecting the Chieftain. As the time goes by, the longer Therak's situation keeps up, the more respect Gridish loses for the orc.

Spoiler: "Groshnok Gorewrath" • show

Gridish is rather hard on the orc, but not because he dislikes Groshnok. On the contrary, Gridish wants nothing less than Groshnok to succeed and not return to the horrible life Grosh had as a grunt (#gruntlife). He sees Groshnok as a dear friend and as a brother.

Spoiler: "Srelok Grimtide" • show

Likes the presence of Srelok. He has a lot of respect for Srelok and the way he thinks. Gridish aspecially respects the orc for his selfless actions, though at times he wish Srelok would treat himself better. Gridish would like to get to know the orc better.

Spoiler: "Krogon Devilstep" • show

Gridish is not sure what to think of Krogon Devilstep. Gridish respects the orc for his skills and talents, but at the same time is very weiry of the orc's recent past. Gridish trusts Krogon's decision making on the battlefield. However, he keeps an eye out in case Devilstep might slip up again.

Spoiler: "Kogra Windwatcher" • show

Gridish enjoys Kogra's company. His feelings for the She-orc are a bit more than just friendship. He hopes she's doing well during her absence from the tribe and hope she returns to the tribe soon and safely.

Spoiler: "Vanara Ashveil" • show

Has mixed feelings about the orc. Vanara has a good set of skills but lacks a certain level of respect. Perhaps she'll learn the concept the more she grows ( Get it? It has a double meaning! Growing as a person and growing.. because she's short! *laughs*)

Spoiler: "Lofty" • show

He's stupid.

[Claws]

Claws
Kei to a very few.
Sees herself now as a quite solitary Orc.
Once quick to anger now she would rather just sit and drink her milk under a fallen tree watching the world go by.
Having been at the forefront of too many battles for the tribe and within the tribe.
Many would say if she was ever broken in half she would have Red blade tattooed down her spine.
She has a long memory of good times long past, and lives in those memories which many around her find strange and do not understand.
She will poke fun at any orc she deems worthy of it not meaning any harm or disrespect but rather her way of testing the victim.
She expects respect for her station with in the tribe and this is now her only sore point.
Hard to befriend, unless you have shed blood with her for the tribe or proven yourself worth of wearing the tribal colours to her.
Her respect has to be earned no matter your standing.
She has no secrets from the tribe and speaks as she sees fit to all some may see this as disrespectful but others see it at as a truth not often voiced.

Spoiler: "The Leader" • show

One of his blood-brothers. A strong warrior and reliable orc. Would never think twice about following this orc or fight beside him. Trusting him greatly and feels safe knowing he's on his side.

Kyrazha Throatrender

Spoiler: show

A very interresting and complicated orc. Finding her fun and so innocent. Feels like having her as a close friend is a good idea. Though will never understand what she sees in Sadok.

Sadok Sharptongue

Talking. One thing this orc is very good at. Being sure he can talk his way out of anything, and into anything. And despite being so odd and annoying at some times, he somehow is wise.

Vezara Wolfheart

One of the first orcs in the tribe that he met. A happy and giddy female. Someone he can see being a close friend too. Wonder where she is..

Umaua Shieldbreaker

Spoiler: show

A funny one. Always laughing and cheery, seeming so happy. Being a good match to Kyrazha. Looking forward to spend more time with her.

[Vanara]

Selfview:
Vanara sees herself as a young and energetic orc who changed some upon joining the tribe. She went from being silent and shy (never taking off her mask) to being more open and not so shy.

After being mostly alone until she joined the tribe, she is happy to found a place where she fits in, a place to call home. She learned a lot since she joined but still considers herself inexperienced in a lot of things.

She cares for every orc in the pack and will always be ready to stand up for it.

How she sees others:

Spoiler: Vraxxar Wildmark • show

Her mate who went missing, she strongly doubt if he would ever return and is greatly hurt and upset by it. She slowly accepted it and tries to move on from it. 

Spoiler: Kyrazha Throatrender • show

She finds her very interesting and a lot of fun who lightens the mood occasionally. Though there is also a side she doesn't like, that is when she starts to go crazy. She would consider her a good friend.

Spoiler: Srelok Grimtide • show

She sees him as a good friend. An orc that will always be there for everyone, sometimes even caring to much for others that he forgets himself. She feels that sometimes he should let out his feelings more and allow others to be there for him.

Spoiler: Kargnar Bloodpaw • show

She likes the orc and considers him as a friend, he strongly cares for the tribe and knows how to make a joke; one thing she doesn't like is that he talks so much.

Spoiler: Umaua Shieldbreaker • show

A truely crazy orc that always makes her laugh, can't always tell if she is being serious or not. A good drinking partner and an orc who isn't afraid to say whats on her mind. She still wonders what her first name is though.

Spoiler: Siyahgosh • show

An orc that literally drives her crazy, she cannot understand a word he says because he always speaks in riddles. She doesn't like how he act most of the times. She doesn't understand why he is part of the pack or what he brings to it.

Spoiler: Sadok Sharptongue • show

Another orc that knows his way with words. She respects him and what he does for the tribe. Most of his terrible jokes make her laugh. She sometimes thinks that he lost his mind, knowing he can act strange sometimes.

Spoiler: Gridish Rimeweaver • show

An orc she calls a good friend, whenever she has something on her mind she would see him as one of the first to go to.

Spoiler: Krogon Devilstep • show

A wise and old orc, yet strong and a good addition to the tribe. She respects him for most of his actions and skills. Sometimes he could take things less serious and be more "relaxed".

Spoiler: Mokh'tar Axenheart • show

An orc she felt a lot for, now a very good friend. She knows exactly how to press his buttons and how to make him laugh. She admires his smithing skills. He can sometimes be extremely stubborn.

Spoiler: Karasha Redtooth • show

Her twin sister. She cares for her a lot; they grew up together and helped eachother out a lot. Even though most would see her as a rather weird or stupid orc, she is still her sister and could not imagine to lose her.

Spoiler: Lo'gush Heartseeker • show

A rather complicated orc she thinks. Sometimes he is so nice she could call him a friend, other times he acts so terrible she will want nothing to do with him. Questioning most of the things he does in her mind. She does not know what to think of him precisely.

Spoiler: Groshnok Gorewrath • show

A friend; she loves to have a drink with him and have fun, be it hunting or just drinking.

Spoiler: Ritina • show

Possible her best friend, they get along extremely well and seem to think about things the same way. Whenever they are together they always have a great laugh.

Spoiler: Therak Duskstalker • show

The Varog'gor, she respected him a lot for training her to Gul'thauk, however with his recent absence she feels he is not doing his tasks well of protecting the Chieftain. This greatly annoys her.

Spoiler: Makaroth Bloodaxe • show

An orc she respect a lot for giving up on fel and trying to better his ways. She grew to care a lot for him. She can see a future of them being mated once he is completely cleansed from the fel.

Spoiler: Arkail Blastblade • show

Another Gul'thauk, he is completely different from herself, she knows little of his personal life but they can chat together well for small talk.
