[center][hider=MALAKAUS RALTHAVAR MARCOSIAS][img]http://i.imgur.com/E1OkFM1.jpg[/img][/hider][/center]

[b]Name[/b]: Malakaus Ralthavar Marcosias

[b]Race[/b]: Orc

[b]Age[/b]: 44

[b]Job[/b]: Forester/Miner. He's the overseer of The Grey Crossing's iron mine and smelter. 

[b]Class[/b]: Fighter/Barbarian  (Though he prefers the term "Berzerker" over Barbarian, and will quickly go into a rage if you make the mistake intentionally)

[b]Short Story[/b]: Malakaus, like many orcs, got into the adventuring business initially for the adventure and glory. Handy with just about any weapon he could get his hands on, save for those exotic stuff, he joined up with lots of parties and hewed his way through many foes. Of course, he was unique in that he grew old enough to get tired of the whole "Raid dungeons and camps for loot" shtick, and wasn't dead. He retired from the adventuring life when his love, an elven cleric, sacrificed her life to save not only him but their child, who she was with at the time. She had to use a Miracle to extract from her body before she perished. Eventually he arrived to The Grey Crossings to raise his daughter in relative peace.

[b]Notable Quirks[/b]: Malakaus can be a rather stern and stubborn orc. He has all the traits of a father who doesn't allow their children to do anything fun. But that's mostly just a safeguard he puts up to dissuaded any thug who thinks they can have their way with his daughter. Those who are friends with him or his daughter would know he can be rather dotting to the point of embarrassment. And unlike most orcs he has a sort of cunning intellect that, while not enough to make him into a wizard, could certainly show he's smarter than he looks.

[b]Skills[/b]: While Malakaus is obviously handy in a fight, nowadays he turns to more mundane utility skills. He's a fairly tough guy and can handle hard work, so when it's time to cut down trees or go deep underground Malakaus often takes the lead so he can suffer whatever danger comes before the others do. He has a nose for metal and gems too, and likes to think that he can beat any dwarf when it comes to prospecting. Malakaus has also taken time back when he was training as a fighter in engineering and smithing, hence why and how he managed to open up a wood mill and smelter in the village.

[b]Possessions[/b]: Aside from his old adventuring gear and trophies, one of the most common objects Malakaus carries around is his unique Pick-Axe: It's part woodcutting axe part mining pick. Made from adamantine there's little that he can't cut with it, handy when he needs to clear out some trees or prospect ore. He also owns a wood mill a bit away from the village, next to a river. He also part owes an iron mine, though he's simply the overseer there, and it belongs to the village proper.

[b]Hobbies[/b]: Greatly enjoys taking hot baths and frequently heads over to the village's hot springs after a day of hard work. Also pretty mean with a fiddle and occasionally does a show with his daughter. When he's not repairing tools for others he also uses his smithing skills to create fine pieces of jewelry with the metals and gems he finds while mining. He never bothers to sell them however despite their craftsmanship, and typically gives them to his daughter or friends.

[b]Name[/b]: Sheolred Marcosias

[b]Race[/b]: Half-Elf (And technically Half-Orc, but she takes mainly after her mother)

[b]Age[/b]: 16

[b]Job[/b]: Freelancer. She can often be found in The Grey Crossing's tavern helping out if she isn't helping someone else in the village. 

[b]Class[/b]: Bard (Though she aspires to learn more magic)

[b]Short Story[/b]: Sheolred was only a babe when her mother sacrificed her life to save not only her daughter, but Malakaus, Sheolred's father. Since then her father had retired and moved to The Grey Crossing, where Sheolred grew up. At a young age she always had an interest in magic which Malakaus chalks up to her mother's similar upbringing for her magical talents. However Malakaus had very little desire to let his little girl leave the village to find some magical college, and unless she can discover her own innate magical abilities the best she could do was learn parlor tricks from the other mages in the village. Which was fine with her, as Sheolred also had a knack for theatrics and found magic in performances as well. Sheolred lives a largely carefree life, but as she grows older she desires a more solidify purpose in her life. Something that would give her reason to drive herself forward.

[b]Notable Quirks[/b]: A lot of people think Sheolred is an air head, and they wouldn't be too wrong. She's certainly ditsy enough to be mistake as a foolish girl. But she's much more perspective than people would give her credit for, capable of seeing through lies and deception and having a good empathy. She can be rather optimistic and cheerful, especially in the face of bleak times. She'd almost be inspirational if she could keep her focus. Likes animals.

[b]Skills[/b]: Sheolred can be quite a performer, doing feats of acrobatics and dexterity that would impress even the most seasoned of tumblers. She's quite capable of mimicking the movements of others like she would do with dances, and could very well do the same with a sword technique if she had the mind to do so. She's also a sharp sleuth and capable of seeing and considering things that could slip past others, usually anyways. Aside from that Sheolred can be rather knowledgeable in various subjects, though she mostly uses this knowledge to be mildly useful for whatever odd job she finds herself doing. 

[b]Possessions[/b]: Malakaus trained Sheolred how to use simple weapons with a decent amount of proficiency, including a few other weapons, though Sheolred's "Signature Weapon" would always be her ribbon whip. It simply looks like a a vibrant red ribbon attached to a leather handle, but you'd be surprised with the amount of chaos Sheolred can cause with this twenty-foot long piece of cloth. It's much more durable than it's delicate appearance would imply as it's enchanted with magic, and in Sheolred's skillful and dexterous hands she can use it for everything from forming complicated patterns to swiping the coins out of someone's pocket. She also carries a dagger at her father's behest, not really unique beyond her ability to throw it with deadly accuracy. Sheolred also owns a [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141202204512/monsterhunterespanol/es/images/3/3d/MHOL-Bulldrome.png]dire boar[/url] as a pet and mount. His name is Oinky. She nursed since it was a baby after her father had killed it's mother during a hunt, and she has since than been protecting the creature from anyone who'd think to make a meal from it. Her father also spoils her with various jewelery made of various metals from the mind, from iron bangles to gold amulets with diamonds. Sheolred, in her pursuit of magic, has tried to enchant some of these with mixed results.

[b]Hobbies[/b]: Sheolred often offers her services to anyone in the village in need of an extra hand. If she isn't doing that however, she can often be found at the village library doing research on magic or just reading stories, or practicing a new routine somewhere in the village. She may also be taking Oinky out for a walk in the forest whilst looking for mushrooms to eat. She does have a bit of a mischievous hobby of sneaking into people's homes and helping herself to a bit of cat burglary. She usually doesn't steal anything, doing it only to hone her agility and stealth though she also greatly enjoys the innate danger of being discovered during her escapades. Obviously a secret to everyone.
