Biography:
Spoiler:
Born into a small farming Ostky, K'chorne was an only child who helped his father farm. A mother, father, and a brother and sister, they were a happy family that didn't fight much, mainly about who got to the toilet first in the morning. They lived in a remote farm located in the hills along the southern ridge facing inland. The farm was one cobble house and 2 acres of field, one was filled with corn while the other was barren with weeds. K'chorne spent most of his child hood tending to the corn with his father and weeding the barren acre which by no matter how long he spent, would always have weeds in it. They would cultivate corn, harvest it then sell it off in big towns, getting a good enough profit for their hardwork. The occasional band of kobolds would come bother them, the family would drive them off, K'chorne would help fight with a cane size sticks. Bands of adventurers would stop by and ask if they could stay a while and rest, which they were happy to provide for.
The adventurers would stay a while and tell tales of themselves, and most of them paid in common rings and gems they found in their travels which they were to lazy to barter off. Eventually K'chorne asked why he named to his father, who chuckled and prepared to tell him why. K'chorne was the 2nd born of the family, they moved into the cobble house 3 years earlier and the 2 acres of field were barren at first. On the day K'chorne was born, it was completely normal, K'chorne was being held by his parents, next to a fire. K'chorne's Dad mumbled a wish to grow something aside from Hay. K'chorne started to cry loudly and the acre of hay started to blaze in a fire. A figure ran off from the far end of the acre after dropping something. After a long time of trying to stop the flames, the acre was a waste, burned to the ground, the parents cried at the awful event. They found a burlap sack of Corn seeds. His father spent the rest of the day spreading the seeds of it, rather than not have a crop to harvest sometime. The next day, the acre was filled with full corn stocks, nearing its completion to be harvested, the family was amazed and happy at this miracle. They decided to call the 2ndborn Corn but found it to be susceptible to ridicule so they tweaked it to K'chorne. This miracle never happened again until his 21th year of age but never again.
On his 17th year of age, his father died in the field while tending by some disease they could figure out was. The family decided to split up, the brother went off north to adventurer while the sister and mother went off east to new lands. K'chorne was left to tend the farm, which he did with vigor and determination. He worked hard every day, tending the field, harvesting it and selling the crop. In his 18th year a young boy by the name of Cormic came to him to ask if he could stay, K'chorne asked if he had parents and he shaked his head. K'chorne took him under the condition that he would help out with the farming. Then on his 21th birthday things changed for K'chorne, devastatingly.
Spoiler:
On his 21th birthday, K'chorne was tending his field when a robed man came by and said hello. The man asked who he was, to which he said "K'chorne Chumn Ostky, I live by the corn, work for the corn and bleed for the corn." The man was intrigued by that statement, offering to bless his crops and make it harvest a bigger better yield. K'chorne accepted rather hastily seeing as more corn would mean a better outcome of profit would means easier years. The man performed a ritual of those used by Cyric worshipers though K'chorne didn't catch on until the man started a flame and torched a stock of corn. K'chorne yelled at Cormic to put the flame out while he fought and grappled with the Cyric worshiper. The flame spread fast across the acre of corn, with no pause to give Cormic a chance to put it out. The Cyric worshiper managed to get out of the grapple and produce a blade and stabbed K'chorne with it in his stomach. K'chorne fell down bleeding, he grabbed a husk of corn that didn't manage to burn, watching it. The Cyric worshiper ran off cackling in laughter while the Corn burnt down. K'chorne shifted and wiggled around bleeding, dying in lots of pain. He managed to shift him self onto the preparation pile of the ritual that was used.
Cormic ran over to K'chorne to see if he could do something when a burning corn stock fell onto K'chorne, setting him on fire. K'chorne wailed, wiggling around violently in flames while clutching the corn husk over the ritual pile. Cormic came with a blanket and wrapped it around K'chorne trying to put the flame out. K'chorne laid on the field not moving, looking like a burnt log, all ash and crispy. Cormic touched him, trying to see if he was alive or something, K'chorne spazzed up, screaming. K'chorne looked at his body, it was crisped, when he shook his limbs, ashes fell off from it. K'chorne palmed the ashes off, trying to see how bad the burns were, it was horrifying.
K'chorne shook off the ashes to see his skin turn into corn like bumps, he looked at his other limbs and belly, to only see corn like bumps. K'chorne got up and hobbled to his mirror in his house, and saw the skin on his face was like corn, bumps and dales. K'chorne looked like he had scales made of dry corn. It didn't look really cool. He sat down, trying to know what had happened...He saw he had an extra bag of corn seed and went back to work. Cormic helped him out, though stared at his current state.
The next day K'chorne got up, and did his morning crap, and made breakfast, Corn mush. K'chorne ate the mush with a very sad look, staring off to his corn field. He was lazy and accidently spooned the mush onto his chin, he wiped it off and felt the skin was smooth. He rushed over to his mirror and found the skin that he put corn mush on turned back into regular human skin but a bit itchy. K'chorne grabbed a handful of mush and started to lather it onto his face like shaving cream. The skin would return back to being human skin, but it felt itchy. K'chorne filled a chamber pot big enough for him to sink into and started to bathe in corn mush. His whole body changed back into human skin instead of being dry corn bumps.
K'chorne spent the day tending to his growing corn with a smile, Cormic was shocked at how he was "Cured". K'chorne woke up the next day and felt his skin, it went back to being corn like bumps. Horrified thinking he found a cure, he bathed in Corn mush again which "Cured" him again. He went to the fields and saw his the acre of corn filled with nearly complete corn for harvest. He inspected his acre of corn, touching the corn and feeling it. Everything was normal except the amount of dead birds and bugs he found laying in the acre of corn.
The next couple of months went smoothly, bathe in corn mush and he was fine. The acre of corn would everyday have dead animals piled up in it. They would bury the bodies into the walking lanes. One day a 50ish year old man stopped by asking if he could stay, K'chorne asked what his name and profession was. The man said his name was Cornell and he was a priest who studied most of deities.
K'chorne accepted him to stay under the condition that he would help with the farming. Cornell stayed with him, eventually learned about K'chorne's batheing ritual and asked how it happened. Cornell came to the conclusion that it was a curse of some sorts to ruin his life. They farmed, harvested and sold corn together. Then during K'chorne's 24th year, things took a upward curve for him.
Spoiler:
One day in his 24th year A sanctimonia patrol stopped by asking if they rest a little. They rested a bit and chatted and K'chorne gave them a bunch of food made with corn, they were impressed at how good they tasted. The patrol stepped out side and observed the area and said they were looking for a good spot in this area to setup a Fort for caravans to rest at. They asked if they could turn this land into a Fort for Sanctimonia K'chorne accepted under condition that the acre of corn was not removed and that he would be lord of it. The patrol accepted and went off to get workers and mason men. The next several years were spent building the keep. The acre of weeds was turned into the area where the inns, supplies and other buildings were put. K'chorne received lordship over the fort and named it Cornbury
With his corn farm being inside a fort, caravans would stop by and buy his corn, increasing his amount of buyers. K'chorne received tariffs over the neighboring farms and used it to create a number of hired blades. K'chorne with the help of Cornell turned the hired blades into a personal army to hunt down Cyric worshipers. If they found any evidence of the people who stayed in the were worshiping Cyric, he would send the blades to interrogate and kill them. K'chorne developed a big lust to eradicate Cyric worshipers ever since the event in his 21th year.
Through the decades K'chorne turned the neighboring farms into corn farms and sold the goods under his control. He would occasionally stop into hamlets and find young boys who were either bullied or punished cruelly by their parents and buy guardianship for them. He would then with the help of Cornell brainwash them with tweaked lessons of the religion they believed in order to turn them into devout hired blades for K'chorne's use. He led them to believe that by serving K'chorne to the letter without doubt, they would be serving their gods well.
K'chorne mainly used his blades to hunt down any Cyric worshiper he could find evidence of regardless of what their station is. Though during those decades he became ruthless in selling his corn, he wanted to take the whole market of the whole world and become a god of corn, making people beg for it. He used them to eliminate any competition in the corn market who were susceptible to assassination from other kinds of people.
K'chorne also hired the service of a wizard who taught him a couple of spells. Unfortunately K'chorne used most of his service to entertain guests and whoo the girls. Through many years of hard work, K'chorne became a favorable lord and a prominent yet ruthless corn merchant, his corn usually distributed named K'chorne's corn, the breakfast meal.
Spoiler:
K'chorne eventually came upon Cakebread who he bought guardianship for and raised him as a blade. He manipulated him with false lessons about Tyr to kill, interrogate and destroy on whims without doubt. Cakebread did eventually find out that what he taught was false and pursued K'chorne. K'chorne, being a man who didn't want to waste resources ordered his hired wizard to construct a spell to mind slave Cakebread into being a watchmen instead of a hiredblade. K'chorne and his wizard along with his best blade to trap Cakebread in his house located in Surna. Which failed drastically when the mage failed to make the spell correctly and thought the use of a fireball would help make it work. The fireball ruined the house and Cakebread escaped albiet being blow through a window but escaped. K'chorne gave up on converting him and decided to concentrate on making more variants of corn. K'chorne tied up most of his income into providing for the corn farmers under his employ.
Recently K'chorne came back to Surna in order to sell more corn and become more famous. He also wants to find a way to remove his curse, waking up feeling like corn isn't that fun. He plans on to taking the whole corn market of Surna and perhaps moving into new territory. Perhaps even trying to become a god of corn, and make everyone beg for the delightful sweet corn.
Spells: Most of the spells he learned from his hired wizard were petty and basic, anything more deadly would be needed to be taught/ observed from other people.

Obtain a house maybe or at least a warehouse to keep the shipments of corn in. Learn more magic from a teacher. Get some friends and associates in town. Eradicate Cyric worshipers, they burned down your acre of corn so they will pay for the heinous crime. Find a way to remove his corn curse. Sell lots of Corn. Become a god of corn or at least make people beg for it.
And yes I'm completely serious about this char, its not one of those herp derp a loon. He's a business man who is ambitious to take the whole corn market who dabbles a bit into magic. He may resort to crime to take it over if things are hard to take over and may dick over people time to time. He has a set of codes and rules to go by, such as don't harm kids, don't harm women unless its necessary. He will be an interesting kind of person.
Will revise and edit.

At which point do we put our foots down and say that certain characters are much too odd or unserious for this RP?
Says the guy who accepted a fucking crow
Okay, so I accepted a crow.
You're accepting someone who can spawn corn out of nothing, even his name is illegitimate. It's a play on KHORNE from warhammer and it's not exactly funny. Everything about this character is unserious and it's getting out of hand.
Still don't see how someone RPing a crow is detrimental to the server, however if this guy walks into the bar spawning corn and the like then I'll have none of it. There's being funny, and silly and then there's stupidity.

Well he can't really spawn corn he just has lots of it in his jacket pockets, and yes it is a play on Khorne and its funny to me what ever and its fit well with the character backstory. I'm pretty serious about this character, the town doesn't have that many noble/uppity people who don't partake into the main fighting so i chipped in. Also i chose murder of crows because it was a low level distraction spell, he doesn't summon them, just commands a murder of crows nearby to attack enemies.
We also don't have lots of old human characters as well.
I've kept things to the Lore book and its not really unserious, just a fucking (tluining) corn merchant who has made his fortune with it who's in town selling corn. He's not OP'd, hes just an extra dot of color to the painting of our rp.
