[hider=Lean, Green, and Low Fat] [b]Name:[/b] Katalmach Iron Chef [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CQLTNKC.png[/img] [b]Age:[/b] 27 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Orc [b]Magic:[/b] Alchemy - The magic that allows Katalmach to create various potions, poisons, and other magical consumables. In other woods, something to make his food not only delicious, but helpful. Of course he can also just create regular alchemical goods such as healing potions, fire bombs, and invisibility potions, but he prefers to spice it up with his cooking. Katalmach does have some basic utility spells alongside his Alchemy ability however, such as a spell that can produce a small amount of clean or salt water, a spell that creates a small ball of fire in his hand, and a general purpose spell called [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/prestidigitation.htm]Prestidigitation[/url]. [b]Personality:[/b] A strange one to be certain. While he's about as gruff and violent as any other orc, his focus is less about simply bullying and fighting others, but cooking. Sure this often means he hunts, but he doesn't just hunt wild and dangerous game, but also valuable resources such as vegetables, fruits, and even knowledge. Yes, knowledge about how to cook which has lead to his skills in alchemy. Unlike most orcs Katalmach has no real issues about other races beyond a healthy those of caution, since he's aware that most would distrust him for being an orc. He can be rather compassionate and generous when it comes to his cooking, as he believes the best meals are ones that are shared. That being said he is still violently protective of his food, and stealing it is tantamount to suicide. Also openly admits that he is a cannibal, though understands that sort of meal isn't for everyone. Still, if he kills you, don't expect an open casket funeral. [b]Background:[/b] Katalmach's reasons for being at the camp are multiple. For starters, he has been exiled from his tribe due to his quirks. Previously he went hunting with some of his kin, where quite a few ended up dying to a large and terrible monster because he was off gathering honey and herbs. While they did eventually slay the monster, the tribe had gotten quite annoyed by Katalmach's obsession with food, and thus he was exiled. As in, he ran away before they could kill him. Afterwards Katalmach worked as a mercinary, using his job fighting and killing to fund his hobby for cooking. He tried to get work as a chef but most people wouldn't hire an orc in the kitchen even if he keeps himself clean. He did find work with this eccentric elven who had an odd taste for orcs. Katalmach rebuffed her advances but did take a job as her personal chef for a while. It was with her that Katalmach had learned more about alchemy, as she personally taught any orc she could convince into having private lessons with her. As for how Katalmach heard about the camp, he heard about it from some humans who had visited his lady. Humans, being fairly rare as far as Katalmach was concerned, were petitioning his mistress for funds to help their expedition in this mysterious camp ground. She was hesitant to put money into an endeavor that may bare no fruit, but Katalmach spoke up and offered to go with them to ensure that the place was worthy of his mistress's time. He honestly admitted that he was curious about this place and wonders if he could create new and delicious meals there, and promises to bring something special to his mistress in due time. Interested in the prospect of Katalmach actually coming back to her after so long, she allowed him to leave with the humans, giving him some supplies for his journey and funds for the camp to use.

Nothing particularlly unique or magical about either aside from their high quality craftsmanship. Courtesy of Katalmach's lady. Cooking Supplies - A basic cooking kit that includes an iron pot, an iron skillet, a ladle, a skewer, a wooden cutting board, a carving knife, a butcher's knife, an iron tripod for the pot, a packet of tinder, and a small selection of local or otherwise easy to find seasonings. Alchemy Tools - Multiple apparatus consisting of a mortar and pedestal for grinding down ingredients, a retort to distill mixtures, a calcinator to heat up substances, and an alembic to separate compounds. Chill Box - A surprisingly light weight metal container housing the bulk of Katalmach's alchemist regents and ingredients. Various oils, body parts, spices, paste, and sauce is safely stored in this extra-dimensional container. Likely the most valuable thing on his person, this container is strong enough to withstand dragon fire and is entirely sealed, preventing contamination. Also contains up to three days worth of firewood and a small table. Clothing - Katalmach has three outfits: His casual wear, his chef uniform, and his adventuring gear. His casual wear mainly consist of his boots, a fur kilt, and a cotton long sleeve if he feels cold. His Chef Uniform is far more ornate and elaborate, and can double as formal wear should such a need arise. Finally his adventuring gear consist of thicker but flexible hide and leather to assist in protecting him, as well as tactical bandoliers and pouches so he may easily access needed equipment/snacks. Sir Ebonsteel Bloodfang - [url=https://i.imgur.com/XXrYhMG.jpg]Katalmach's cat[/url]. He uses it to hunt rodents who may try to invade his kitchen space. Katalmach calls her "Ebony" for short. Rations - Katalmach will always have a few days worth of rations on hand to snack on or feed people if needed. His most signature meal however is the [url=https://i.imgur.com/53YaNok.jpg]Hungry Warrior's Ready Meal[/url], a meal consisting if two large fried drumsticks, hard boiled eggs, whole wheat bread, cheese, and nuts. Not only suitable for a hungry fighter in the go, his delux meal is magically enchanted. The drum sticks are each imbued with greater strength, enhancing one's physical strength for ten minutes after digesting. The eggs can magically suppress the harmful effects of poison and disease for an hour, as well assisting the body in overcoming these affliction. The bread grants the eater greater endurance against harsh elements, allowing them to withstand the deadly effects of extreme cold or hot weather for a whole day. The cheese can fortify one’s willpower against mind affecting magic such as illusions or mind control, though it only works once within the twenty-four hours the cheese is consumed entirely. Lastly the nuts are magically treated to emulate the effects of a goodberry spell, providing rather minor healing properties when eaten, but one but alone can satisfy one’s need for food or drink for the rest of his day. Of course nothing wrong with having seconds. [b]Theme:[/b] [youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=la-imrcynmo[/youtube] [/hider]
