A work in progress.

[b]Name:[/b] Khat-ar-urdesh, known as "Thorn".
[b]Age:[/b] 26.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Thorn is pretty unremarkable for an orc, standing a little over six feet. His skin is the typical dark mottled green-brown of his race and the same goes for his eyes, which are deep-set in his face and difficult to see beneath his strong, prominent brow. He wears his long black hair braided down his back. Thorn's face is permanently set in a fierce, disapproving scowl, even by orc standards, matching his prickly personality -- the namesake of his nickname. Instead of painting uniform parts of his armor red, swirls and strokes cover his breastplate, greaves and right shoulderguard. His full-faced, visored helmet, wreathed in the shape of a shrieking ghoul, is unpainted, leaving the black iron bare. 

[b]Skills/Abilities:[/b]

- [i]Swordsmaster:[/i] Thorn is supremely skilled with falchions, dual-wielding them in battle, eschewing the use of a shield and relying on his skill to parry and disarm his opponents. He possesses unusual finesse for an orc and takes pride in this, but it is the greater strength and speed that his orc frame gives him that allows his blades to punch through armor and rend his opponent's head asunder. 
- [i]Indomitable Duelist:[/i] Having a habit of seeking out the enemy's most capable soldier or commander in battle and fighting them one-on-one if a battle descends into disorganized chaos, Thorn is driven by the desire to prove himself superior to the best warrior he can find among the enemy ranks. He doesn't back down from a challenge and his determination spurs on the orcs by his side to greater feats of fearlessness and bloodlust. 
- [i]A Sliver of Quicksilver:[/i] Unusually fast and agile for an orc, Thorn often leaves his enemies dismembered before they even know what happened to them and can almost match an elf blow-for-blow. His reflexes and ability to think fast on his feet contribute to his skill as a swordsman.
 

Equipment:

- Thorn's most prized possession is his pair of matching rhyming falchions. The blades are perfectly balanced and were forged specifically to fit his tastes years ago, and he has treated them well. In orcish runes, a phrase has been etched into the blades. On one falchion it reads: [i]"To live is to fight, to fight is to live, to die fighting is to live,"[/i] which continues with: [i]"Orc of this world, curse only peaceful death,"[/i] on the other blade. 
- His armor, which is fairly standard by Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi standards aside from its custom paintjob (see Appearance section). 
- Thorn's helmet, however, is special. It is fully-visored and crafted in such a way that the face of the helmet looks like a shrieking ghoul, inspiring dread and fear in Thorn's enemies.

History:
(You can invent a tribe, name regions and countries and cities and so forth to pull this one off, but most important is how they came to Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi and where they served in the unit.)

Relationships and Acquaintances: Perhaps some of the characters know one another, list those acquaintances here. Talk to each other in the OOC about it.
