My D&D Character - Tenuously Furry
17 years ago
General
So, I recently started playing a D&D game that 
rourkie is running on Monday nights. Thought I might tell y'all about it. Since my character is a half-orc, it has a slight tie to Furry. :)
My character is Rukh Redmane, a half-orc paladin. I actually created him way back in 2003 for a D&D 3rd Edition game. He was inspired by the half-orc pic at http://www.elfwood.com/art/n/m/nmros/half_orc.gif.html (It was fun...some months back,
captaingerbear was looking for info on it, and I was actually able to key him in to Nathan Rosario's page on Elfwood. So there's another furry link...sorta. ;) ) I was struck by the combination of noble and savage in that pic, and I liked the idea of playing such a character. So Rukh was born.
Rukh isn't his birth name. He had several, depending on whether you were talking to his human mother or his orcish father. I'm going to get into the grim details of his birth and childhood. Suffice to say that, at some point, he was left for dead by his orcish family (his human mother was dead as well). He survived a terrible beating and staggered feverishly away, half-dead. He was found by K'rrg, an orcish priest, who took him in and nursed him back to health. Under K'rrg's tutelage, the young half-orc began to believe he had a purpose in the world, for K'rrg was the last priest of Tuan.
Tuan is an orcish god, all but forgotten by the orcish people. He is a lawful good orcish god of chivalry, honor, and valor. According to Tuan's priest, in the ancient of days, the orcs were ruled by two brothers...Gruumsh, a chaotic evil god of savagery and brutality, and Tuan. Eventually, there was a terrible battle, and Tuan was thrown down. Worship of Tuan was stamped out by the Gruumsh-ites, and so Tuan's power waned. Many thought he was dead. But his divine spark has been slowly fanned by a small sect of worshippers. Now Rukh, named for the great desert eagles that are tuan's symbol, goes forth in the world as Tuan's sole paladin.
So there you go...that's Rukh. He's kind of a kid in a way, but he's well-educated in his religion. He is very charsmatic...he does Diplomacy and Intimidation in equal amounts, sometimes to the shock of his companions. He's kind of al onely figure, but he's a hell of a lot of fun to play, especially as he's being slowly drawn from his shell by the rest of the party.
Next, I'll post Rukh's journals...
