History (Synopsis) - Little can be said about the history of Thoronor or his people. History is not something that the barbarians of the Dead Hand Horde specifically maintain through the stories they tell. His childhood was typical wrestling with the other children where he performed on a level of mediocrity. He learned to throw daggers and fight with sword and shield as was traditional of most members of his tribe. When he was thirteen his hand was ritualistically removed as was tradition by the axe of their tribal leader, the end burned - sown - and bandaged until it healed enough to be wrapped in leather. A shield was fashion to be inserted over the nubb and strapped to the form arm. It was at this time that he specialized in fighting with long sword and shield.

Thoronor has survived for 27 years of life. Living in the Sundering Mountains that is quite a particular feat. The perils of the mountains claim the lives of most travelers who are inexperienced with terrain; however, the number of lives of those who live in the mountains and grow learning the ways of mountain living are still astoundingly high. On this particular day, Thoronor wanders the mountainrange looking for nothing imparticular beyond the usual sources of food, treasure, and glory.

[Doc Doctor]

All righty then. Let's see if I can use a straight sword properly. First time I've ever tried my hand at it.

Auz of Bavaria

Name: Auz of Bavaria
Age: 27
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 150 pounds
Race: Human

Weapons and Equipment-



*Steel cuirass, tassets, greaves, half helm, and gauntlets. The works, you know.

*120 cm straight sword

*steel buckler

*Two knives, a stiletto with a 7" blade and a gauche dagger with a 12" blade.



Appearance- Auz is slender but sturdy man, with a light blonde bowl cut and large, blue eyes rimmed in red, as if he rarely gets good sleep. He has cruel eyebrows and usually wears a leonine expression, that of a man ready to fight to the death at a moment's notice. Over his heart is the tattoo of an ouroboros.





Abilities/Skills- Auz is an aggressive, calculating swordsman who employs techniques from the German School of Fencing, as well as irregular moves of his own design. He's highly versatile and creative with his long sword, able to use it in just about any way that can be imagined. Additionally he's skilled with his two knives and at using his buckler as a weapon, and has no qualms about using any part of his body to fight.
Physically, he's got a heavy lean towards speed over power. He's frightfully fast, a sort of Bruce Lee among fencers, so to speak. Naturally it's not possible to swing a sword as fast as a fist, but regardless most warriors that encounter Auz for the first time are utterly taken aback by his diabolical swiftness. He's not overtly strong, per se, but can hold his own in a grapple.





Personality- Auz is cutting and sardonic, his dark wit (the man enjoys his one-liners) born from pessimism. He cares not for status or friendship, being a solitary soul in search of nothing but that which gives his life meaning; war. He doesn't like alcohol or other substances, and only enjoys the company of women after a battle. His solemn, irreverent mentality isolates him, but he's not necessarily a "bad guy". He fights for the underdogs when he can, and doesn't partake or suffer the killing of the helpless. That being said, he doesn't care for hostages. Should an opponent try to use another life as a bargaining chip, Auz would just as soon tell his adversary to go ahead and see how much worse of a death they'll get.



Background- Auz was born in the age of Germanic kings, a disowned prince whose lineage was thrown into obscurity. From the moment he could walk, until he was fourteen, he was trained by the best fencers in the land. Before his next birthday he was given to a distant uncle and sent away, yet was quick to get into the fray and put his skills to the test. He killed his first opponent at age 15, and went on to become a mercenary.

He spend his adulthood mastering his trade, devoting himself to the way of the sword as he cut down foe after foe. Old Auz was a regular Musashi, and soon other fighters started seeking him out, desiring to make a name for themselves. The only names they got were those carved on their grave markers.

little else can be said of Auz. There were no dramatic affairs, no arch rivals nor emotional conflicts. He traveled, he fought, he did the hokey-pokey.
