Personal exploits:

Renowned for overseeing the royal palace defence in the Third Occitanian Civil War, leading 60 Occitanian order knights in battle against thousands upon thousands of peasants and soldiers alike, and triumphing with no losses. Reported kill count: 1724 dead. Another 3000-4000 wounded.
Successfully killed three assassins sent to kill him at his own ceremony to recieve the title Grossmeister of the Occitanian Order.
Won the Kreuz des Kaiser in an Occitanian Order crusade against the Sidan fortress of Alzhammed, where he and fourteen of his brethren held the gate from the Sidan counterattack by forming an impenetrable wall and slaughtering any Sidan getting close enough. Reported killcount: 672 dead. No wounded.
Rumors circulate about this man single-handedly breaking the Siege of Kreuzridge Castle, a massive fortress that was commandeered by its garrison during the Third Occitanian Civil War. Over three thousand Occitanian rebel legionaries surrendered as the Grossmeister cut his way through three lines of defence, smashing the metal bars of the gatehouse open with nothing but a warhammer. Reported killcount: 281. 14 wounded.
Has served in every branch of the Occitanian military except for the Kriegsmarine and the Pioneers.
Has participated in seven to-the-death tournaments in the Occitanian Arena. He has won every single one.

Biography: My life story is not one worthy a Saint. Neither is it worthy that of the erste Kaiser. Many call me remarkable, and say that I am above human in my exploits. I simply say they have not dared seize any of the opportunities that the divine has thrown at them.
I have been in service with die Legion, die Armee, and finally die Order. But I have never taken a life in cold blood, or for my own personal desire to kill. Every man that I have cut down has been justified by the Kaiser. Talibar and Sida call me a slave to a dictator.
I have never understood them. Especially Talibar. We wished to help them. And they fought us when we came to offer them this. Now we will fight back. The Talibarian empire will crumble not because I want to, but because they have awoken a slumbering beast.
The rage of Occitan will not seize until we have placed these heretics in shackels and nailed those responsible to the great Kreuzes.

They say that the Order taking on the entire Talibarian legion is impossible. Impossible is nothing but a word used by cowards to disregard everything they're afraid of.

So come now, Lindwurm. Come Busse, and come Skeltgaar. We have a nation to grind into the ground until there is nothing left but the landscape it used to sit on.

Alignment: Chaotic Good
Favoured Enemy: Kazuth and Orcs.

inb4 "THIS NEEDS TO BE ACCEPTED BAA-BAA-BEE-BOO"
unfuck yourself

now that putin's put the boot in

Wow, this guy is a expert in everything...but hey he has to be since he is a Grossmeister.

I called it! I knew you were bringing him in.

On another note this is a awesome character and it should be fitting in the attack against Talibar even though he is going to kill us all.

Well shit.

The character's name reminded me of this thread.

be happy i didnt put flamethrowers in there

Quote :: Orcs.

Orcs don't exist in Aeria's lore.

THE GLORY Posts : 1415 Join date : 2010-04-06 Age : 43

they do

For what reasons should they not exist and for what reasons should they?

THE GLORY Posts : 1415 Join date : 2010-04-06 Age : 43

they should exist because they're the trademark of fantasy, and we need more diversity other than just "LOL CAT PEOPLE LOL HUMANS LOL WEIRD SNAKE THINGS"

I've seen an orc character or two in the past, so I assume they exist. And wasn't there this orc fortress quest, supposedly next to impossible difficulty?

To my understanding, orcs were removed from Aeria's lore.

Orcs smell terrible, you should never let them in the lore, they'd end up making it reek. It's bothersome enough reading the lore, but actually having to smell orc while doing it, ugh. Not to mention Pat would end up smelling of orc in a week.

Also, Psyche's 1337'th post.

Orcs are an annoying piece of work in Fantasy that do nothing but allow people to play astoundingly stupid and annoying barbarians whose solution to everything is to break it.

It's diverse, but not in the good way.

We can have Orcs. Just hate them if you want to.

all you're saying is "I hate orcs so they shouldn't be here"

with that logic there'd be no kazuths, dwarves, or elves.

Or humans for that matter.

Yay, Gnolls ftw!

You make a good point, Mack, at least about Kazuths. Kazuths are one of Aeria's most important fuels. The world's fires would not burn as brightly without the luxury of Kazuth kindling.

Hes got a point i mean how can the Occitan empire have such geat bonfires without the Kazuth...other then that they are pretty much useless.
