Race: ??? (A shade, perhaps)
Appearance: Pitch black skin, if it even is skin. Pupils that windows into the void. He at least has white sclera and pearly teeth, but that makes him all the more creepy when he smiles. His body is roughly the shape of a human but less defined. He's well built, but his arms are more poles than arms. He wears a shirt, pants, sandals, and satchel, all of which are charred colored. When he bleeds, a black, misty substance bleeds out.
Personality: An incessant talker. He doesn't know any manners, but he's a quick learner. Even though he gets turned down a lot, that doesn't stop him from initiating conversations. However, despite his cheery disposition, he has a hard time making strong connections, but when he does care, he cares deeply.
Abilities: He's rather strong. He's never one for bladed or blunted weapons, preferring gauntlets. He's also proficient in first aid and a little bit of magic. He can also blend really well into the shadows. Oh, he also doesn't need to eat. Sunlight seems to provide him sustenance.
Background: Doesn't remember much. He found himself in an abandoned castle someplace, but that's about it. Anything beyond that is learned.

Name: Orchid Nurga Vorinclex
Race: Orc
Appearance: A brutish looking person, fitting for someone of orc blood. Were it not for her deceptively feminine voice and green skintone you could mistake her as a muscular but not quite hulkish human. She wears her barbaric long hair in a tight braid, and generally goes about her business in armor which she had taken from various warriors and knights of various repute. Her general attire tends to lean towards simple furs and hide clothing, typically ones she makes herself. Her body is adorn with scars and each with a tale of it's own, but her most notable feature is the complex tattoo on her back which details the history of her clan and her own aspirations towards conquest.

Abilities: Strong and tough as most orcs tend to be, though she focuses her astonishing strength in archery; her personal black blow is sturdy enough to double as a deadly club that could dent even plate armor, and her arrows are more akin to iron-shod spears that could break stone. Don't mistake her interest in archery as a weakness in melee combat; she knows how to use her own hands and teeth to tear man and beasts apart, and is wickedly precise with her knife. She's also a skilled craftsman as is tradition for women of her clan, with knowledge on how to skin and butcher beasts, turning their flesh and bones into food, weapons, and clothing, as well as fletching for her bow and arrows. She has keen senses to spot prey and find hidden assailants, and generally uses these skills as a hunter. Lastly she is a skilled rider and personally tamed a vargr, a large wolf-like monster with bad tempers but deadly combatants. She mostly taught it to behave itself in civilized areas so it doesn't eat other people or animals, but still dangerous enough to fend off knights.

Backstory: An outspoken girl from Clan Vorinclex, after her half-brother instigated a rebellion that caused her clan to be banished from the tribe she choose to leave behind the family politics to become an adventurer, seeking battles to gain honor and hopefully companionship. While it's not unusual for orcish women to be skilled huntresses, she's considered a delinquent because of her general attitude and dislike for the current culture and intentionally goes out of her way to disrupt the status quo as it suits her. A woman with low morals and abides only to whatever is convenient to herself, had she the mind for it she would sooner crush the world in an iron grip than to let anyone infringe on her freedom and indulgences.
