[b]Name[/b]: Orkag the Bloodletter

[b]Physical[/b]: At nearly 7 feet tall, Orkag is much taller than most other species and a head taller than many other orcs. While he is muscular and strong and could easily have become a warrior of his clan, he has chosen to be a shaman. His eyes, once brown like most of his kin, have become a deep crimson due to the type of magic he has been using.

[b]Abilities[/b]: 

Though it is called blood magic, it has nothing to do with the manipulation of blood, instead, this type of magic draws on the life-force of magic user and allows him to cast various types of magic, though the stronger the spell the more life-force needed to cast it. The advantage of this type of magic is that one only needs to have seen the spell once before he can cast it as well. The disadvantage is obvious, he can cast only a limited amount of spells before he has to rest, or risk death. Though the user can draw the life-force of other beings as well, he can only draw the life-force of non-sentient beings like animals and various beasts.

[b]Starting Gear[/b]:

[list][*][/list]

[b]Personality/Goals: [/b]

Other than the clothing, armor on him and food rations, Orkag has only a few items of actual note.

[list][*][i]The Bloodletter's Staff[/i] - A complicated name for a simple tool, the magical staff allows him to channel his blood magic spells at a faster rate than he would without it.
[*][i]The Bonebreaker[/i] - Though a shaman, Orkag is still an orc and orcs are naturally born warriors and when he reaches his limit of spellcasting for the day, he relies on this trusty steel maul to get him out of any sticky situation.
[*][i]Beak and Claw[/i] - Though they are animals in form, these two ravens are pure magic that follow Orkag at all times and listen to his commands... most of the time. These magic ravens have incredible sight, nightvision and can see through illusions to a limited degree. He is able to communicate telepathically with these animals and give them orders when he needs them to do something secret.[/list]

[b]Personality/Goals[/b]: Though the magic he casts is disliked by many, including own clan, Orkag means to help the world with his magic whenever he is able and though he is quite unfriendly and somewhat rude at first sight, he opens up to other people after some time spent with them. He disproves the wanton use of magic, he himself casting spells only when truly necessary, no matter if it is a combat spell or otherwise... he especially dislikes people who use magic purely to become renown.

As for a goal, he does not truly have one, he merely seeks to improve the world as best as he can, though the vision he has recently received, speaking vaguely of great evil approaching soon currently has him on edge and he has started to seek other powerful mages, or powerful people in general, be they mages or warriors, to warn them of this evil and to band them together against this incoming evil.

[b]Backstory[/b]: Orkag was born in one of the many nomadic orc tribes that wander the continent and though they generally avoid coming too close to the settlements of other races, his tribe often approached towns to trade the various excess goods they had gathered in their travels. Thanks to this, Orkag had the opportunity of meeting many types of people of various other races and learn about them and their traditions on top of his.

Thanks to his large physique, Orkag was destined to be one of the strongest warriors of his tribe and for a while, he embraced that calling, as being a warrior meant that he would be the protector of the tribe and everyone within it. However, one day, the shaman council of the tribe said that his true calling would be that of a shaman, as the protector spirits of the spirits of the tribe gave a vision to the council that Orkag would be instrumental in keeping the world safe.

Though he respected the calling of the shamans and started to study under them, he did not like it at all as the magic incantations they taught him were complex and difficult to learn. However, upon meeting the shamans of a different rather disliked tribe, he learned of another type of magic that would allow him to cast spells without needing to learn the incantations... he started to learn blood magic.

However, when the shamans of his own tribe learned of this, they decided to cast Orkag out of the tribe as they considered blood magic the antithesis of life. Though Orkag disliked this, he once again accepted the fact and left the tribe, living his life mostly secluded from society until recently when he too received a vision speaking vaguely of a great evil coming. Upon receiving that vision, he has decided to come out of his self-imposed isolation and try and form a band of people to unite against this incoming evil.[/hider]

First of all, I would like to apologize if there are mistakes in the sheet, and if there are, point them out to me please. As for the orcs as a species in general, I'll try to write about them either later today, or tomorrow.

Only thing I'd point out is the fact he's apparently got nothing on him except for a dot. :p Otherwise seems CS tab worthy.

Here you go. I've never played a monk-type character before so between the world building and magic we're allowed, I decided to try it.

[hider=Fang]

[indent][color=8493ca][b]Name:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Fang[/color]

[color=8493ca][b]Physical:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Fang is a tall, muscularly lean woman. She has rough hands and wears foot wraps instead of shoes. Her lightly colored robes are maintained out of devotion to her goddess. Even still, the dark tattoos that wrap up and down her muscles are the most awestriking. Each one is intricately designed and it no doubt took years to acquire them all. Her head is shaved as a show of devotion to Shangri-La, and she has light olive skin. Despite her tough appearance, though, she has gentle brown eyes and a friendly face. [/color]

[color=8493ca][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] 
[indent][color=cccccc]• Summoning magic. Fang's body is covered by a variety of tattoos, a host to depictions of animals and even weapons. The amount of energy she puts forth can affect how many summons she can control and how big they are. The animals found across her body include two snakes, a tiger, a bear, a turtle, and a phoenix. The weapons, usually incorporated in the intricate animal designs, include a staff, two swords, a bladed polearm, and knives.  When being used, the summon's tattoo disappears. It takes energy to maintain the summons' physical forms for extended periods of time, but she can also dismiss them as she pleases. However, the tattoos won't immediately reappear once dismissed from the physical plane; over the course of a day, they will appear faded and then dark again once ready for use.

• Martial arts. Not only is Fang a fearsome master of her tattoos, she is trained in a style of fighting developed by followers of Shangri-La. The focus of this technique is to strike from afar and bring an opponent down in closer quarters. It's a style of fighting made to use an opponent's own force against them. 

• Magic & soul sense. Through meditation and practice, Fang is able not only to sense the presence of magic or souls, but to also loosely read people and their intentions. It's, of course, fallible as the human and humanoid experience is vast.[/color][/indent]
[color=8493ca][b]Starting Gear:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Save for the clothes on her back and a flat blade for maintaining a shaved head, Fang has no material possessions and seems to have no interest in keeping any.[/color]

[color=8493ca][b]Personality/Goals:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Fang wishes to serve Shangri-La in maintaining a humble life and serving the greater good. A minority among her monastery, she was trained as a warrior, and is allowed to bend the otherwise strict rules of nonviolence. Even so, she maintains a demeanor of relaxation and is slow to anger. Beyond the years of training under her religion, Fang is kind. She has a surprisingly broad sense of humor, though likely developed later in life due to a sheltered upbringing in the monastery. Her journey alone is meant to push the boundaries of her devotion, however.[/color] 

[color=8493ca][b]Backstory:[/b][/color] [color=cccccc]Like most of the monks she grew up with, Fang was orphaned as a baby and left at the temple. She was trained among young boys and girls in the way of Shangri-La, a goddess figure. Unlike most of her peers, however, Fang displayed a rare affinity for magic. As a direct result, her training was altered and she was raised into the rare warrior role of her religion. She is a recent graduate of the student title, and is now traveling the world to reach a higher form of enlightenment and acquire the title of master. [/color]

[color=8493ca][b]Other Stuff:[/b][/color]
[indent][color=cccccc]• Followers of Shangri-La are known for their intricate tattoos and peaceful, charitable ways of life. Traveling monks receive mixed reactions, though: some are charitable and hospitable to monks, others see them as bums. They have a large following, but due to religious purges and wars, their numbers have been decreasing. Warriors like Fang are a minority and relatively new development as a defense against the violent world. Older monks in the religion may not agree with this development.

Seems good, though I would keep the soul sense to reading emotions and such, not able to pluck actual images or solid thoughts - more a "he looks happy and calm but I know he wants to try to kill me any moment now..." sort of thing, just to head off any use further than that, though I mostly speak to head it off as you never said you'd use it as any actual mind reading. Beyond that, looks good to me, and worthy of the CS tab.

There were a couple WIP sheets, I'll probably take those too if they're posted again in a complete state and seem to be OK. Otherwise, I think we can wind down on new faces.
