Krakenti (Kra) Gorgonskull

Description:
Half-Orc, Height: 6'2", Weight: 180lbs, Hair: Auburn, Eyes: Blue-green, Build: slim by orcan standards, muscular to all other races.

This half-orc is the result of an enslaved human sorceress and an orcan chieftan.  The sorcerous's children were too frail, too human, and all but Kra died at the hands of their playmates.  While also resembling her mother greatly, Kra was just quick enough, just tough enough to withstand the torment of her peers.

As she grew up, she was considered ugly and weak.  She had no tusks, her ears were actually rounded, with scrowny limbs and flimsy nails instead of claws.  Thus, she was given the chores no one else would do.

The lowest tier of orcan society is a very difficult place to be.   Very few survive such a fate.  Her fate seemed sealed, especially when she was unable to bare any strong children.  Three male sons, all weak and useless, all died.  The clan won't tolerate useless members and she was driven out to die.

She wandered on her own for weeks.  Having never learned any survival skills she had taken refuge in some crumbling structure and was slowly starving to death.  The structure, however was a shrine to an almost forgotton god, one who usually takes no notice of of the comings and goings of mortals.

While Kra didn't know how to hunt, she repaired and cleaned the structure as best she could.  Might as well make it comfortable and block out wind and rain.  The activity was like an itch to the god below.  Grumbar eventually decided to scratch that itch and find out what was disturbing him.  He saw an orc, and was about to squish it, but his shrine had been cleanned...  and ineptly ...repaired?  This orc did this?  He had heard no prayers, no vain entreties.  He realizes she was near death.  Did she actually give her life to clean his shrine?  He hadn't had a servant for hundreds of years.  They always kept begging him for blessings.   Maybe this orc is different...  

He healed her and gave her strength.  He sent her dreams, teaching her to survive, how to fight, how he wished to be served.  He found her obediant, surprisingly intellegent, and extremely dilligent with any task he asked of her.  He decided to embue her with his power to serve him even better.
