Name: Ono Appearance: [url=https://i.imgur.com/Kda74Et.jpg]"WAAAAARGH HA HA HA!"[/url] Gender: Female Race: Half-Orc Age: 20 Personality: Gruff, aggressive, but boisterous enough to make company with like-minded warriors. She has a short fuse that makes her act rashly easily, but at the same time she's also rather easy to befriend should you treat her kindly or if she takes a fancy to you. She prides herself on her simple pleasures: she believes that complicated motivations just muddle your true desires, and endorses that people just admit to their base desires rather than trying to make up complicated aspirations. Never one to take no for an answer one Ono learns about a problem she makes sure to deal with it herself, more so if people talk to her about it. She'd never get involved in something she couldn't handle (And she believes she's capable of much more than she really is). There is one weakness she hides much of the time however, and it's that she is at her very core, a romantic. She hopes that one thing things really could become peaceful, where people like her and humans could get along. She denies this knowing that it would be a long and bloody future before that would ever happen, but deep in the back of her mind she'd want nothing more than to make friends with the ones who try to hurt her. Abilities: Ono is a warrior through and through. While others would rely on magical trickery to bolster their physical abilities, Ono simply is as strong and tough as they are without any magic beyond being born an half-orc. It does have a bit of a double-edge however, as her own incredible strength and resistances also means that she herself is horribly inept at magecraft. While she can utilize magic items just fine, her own ability to produce mana is abysmal, in exchange she can easily absorb magic attacks or energies directed at her. Her magic absorption is so powerful in fact she could sunder spells with mundane weapons if she had to. Should Ono truly be in some dire situation, she can tap into a primal fury that increases her strength and endurance, at the price of making her loose her higher level thinking and only able to fight instinctively. While she has enough cunning to still be able to be a tricky foe, in this rage her short-sight could be the end of her and anyone who stands in her way would be remorselessly cut down, be it friend, foe, or innocents. As for personal abilities, Ono is a strong but relatively untrained warrior. While she can ensure that the pointy of a most weapons land into her enemy, her reliance on simple brute strength makes her have to rely on weapons equally strong and brutal. That's not to say that Ono is unskilled; she knows how to effectively utilize her strength for maximum effectiveness without any flowery technique or maneuvers. She strength lies precisely in her simplicity; instead of trying to maneuver around a blade or guard, she simply smashes through it. Ono is also quite durable even without armor, to the point that armor itself is rather meaningless to her aside from fashion. Of course considering some of the foes they face, who are either usually monstrously strong enough to tear through steel plate or use magic that simply bypasses it all together, Ono's durability isn't entirely unusual. Still, she can block blades with her bare forearm if needed. Lastly, Ono specializes as a mage hunter and speed killer. She lulls her enemies into a false sense of security by using a heavy axe and fighting somewhat sluggishly, using powerful but predictable swings to let them think they can out speed her. But in truth she can match their speed quite easily, as her stats aren't in endurance and strength, but endurance and speed. Once her enemies get close or think they have the upper hand, she'd catch them off guard and either remove their mobility or shut down their magic before going in for the kill.

There's nothing particularly unique or magical about the axe aside from it's unusual balance; most would expect the weapon to be very top heavy as befitting for a two-handed axe, but it's oddly weighted in such a way that Ono could easily handle it with one hand, switching between a one-handed or two-handed grip depending on the flow of battle.

Ono actually made this shield herself and cherishes it. She personally favors the shield as a personal weapon over an axe or blade, quoting it's ability to both protect and attack in the same action. She intends to put a metal plate on it to make it more sturdy, though she enjoys catching her opponent's blades through the shield, disarming them, and then bashing them to death.

This knife is good for cutting through brush, flesh and bones, and even light chain mail if it came to it. Light enough for agile maneuvers but sturdy enough for brute force chopping, Ono is just as capable of using this knife as she is with any other weapon. History: There's no real history to Ono; she was born the bastard child of an orc and human. She never learned who was the mother or father, as she was abandoned in the woods shortly after her birth. It was only by a stroke of miracle that she was later found by a witch who had given up her humanity who raised her. The witch was motherly enough, even if she did experiment on the child and never bothered to name her. Ono herself made up her name when she was a young woman. She was fetching wood for her home when she was attacked by some brigands. They seemed hungry and desperate, and Ono slew them with ease. She took the axe from one of them, naming herself after the blade. Ono trained with the axe, started hunting, and eventually left home. She has no great stake in worldly events, and is only somewhat aware of them through their interactions with her. No matter. She would enjoy her life as it was, for better or for worse, and seek honor and glory wherever she may find it. Other: Ono is quite a talented lumberjack and woodcarver. She can make some beautiful thing with a log, a knife, and some time. She's also quite a talented drummer.
