Also, looking over Rodetta the Red, I think the prefect backdrop for this match would be the Angar-Rylla's Imperial army invading Rodetta's world, huge army fighting in the background while the generals, our characters, duke it out in the middle.

We'll have the most awesome cinematic fight in the Arena in ages! :P

Plus one that makes allot of sense.

Cool, still getting used to this new ranking system so I'll let you throw up the thread then. ^^

@GreivousKhan lets find 2 other fools and have a tag team.

but if that sounds like hassle I'd be happy to take you on regular style

@Dynamo Frokane

Well there is already a four player match, or one that was planned forever ago by Rilla and we're still waiting for hat to start. So in the aim of expediency, one-on-one is still fine if you want. I set up an arena thread some time back. But I can change out my PC with another if you prefer.

Random descriptors:
Snarnorgul is great and mighty even for a creature of his dying and powerful breed, he possess a broad, muscular body is as large as a giant, with two pairs of arms; one set is humanoid ending in hands similar to that of a dark elves, while the other is monstrous, ending in a pair of crab-like pincers. Its canine-like head is horned and it has a muzzle full of razor sharp teeth. A Snarnorgul stands a little over 15 feet tall and weighs 5,700 pounds of raw muscle and power.

Character Tier :( Intermediate)

Character Type: Active Multiverse Participant/Secondary Character

Physical Description:
As mentioned, Snarnorgul is hideously large with enormous goat like feet in which it uses to traverse most terrain. It wears no clothing, as few articles could fit its great stature, yet neither would it wish the restriction. Snarnorgul may at times move on all fours, using it's massive upper set of arms to get over a barrier.

Personality Description:

Snarnorgul is arrogant, and greedy, having an unquenchable desire for gold, warm flesh, and not caring who gets in his way for more. He appears often to possess a rather sardonic sense of humor, mocking enemies darkly while they are talking. Despite his physical prowess, Snarnorgul prefer to work behind the scenes, and enjoys manipulating possible rivals. But does not shun nor fear combat, in fact he revels in it when given a challenge and is known for wanton destruction for chaos sake. The most distinguishing characteristic of the Tanar'ri (aside from his greed or hunger), is his arrogance. Snarnorgul thinks very highly of himself, loudly boasting his superiority.

Skills, powers and abilities:

As a tanar'ri, Snarnorgul has lived an exceptionally long time, and has centuries in which to sharpen his skills. Despite his beast like visage, he possesses predator cunning unrivaled by mere beast. His greatest strength are in his advanced ability to quickly adapt and learn during an encounter.

(high)Strength: Being a fully-grown Tanar'ri, Snarnorgul is massive and powerful. His physical strength is great enough to crush stone with ease, and bend metal with no effort in the least. On average he has the strength to easily lift 100 tons with effort, anything more requires even greater effort and time. Snarnorgul can punch roughly with 60000 pounds of peak punching force using his upper arms, his lower arms punch with half this might. (As a scale, Tyson has the psi of 1,800 behind a single punch.)

(high)Endurance: Snarnorgul is covered in highly reflective scales and chitin that acts as natural body armor. Added with an exoskeleton of rock hard bone as tough as jade grants him formidable endurance. The scales easily turn aside the sharpest of blades, and are capable of withstanding great fluxes of temperature in excess of 24200 F. The greenish exoskeleton plates located on it's shoulders, back, and arms is strong enough to deflect and withstand forces such as artillery fire at point blank, as well as high explosive anti-tank rounds, protecting against impacts and heat as high as 500 tons of TNT. Equalling to 2,092,000,000,000 joules of force. However, his underbelly, underarms, throat and most of his legs do not possess these sheets of protection. Leaving it's thick hide, capable of weathering guns as high as 50 caliber rounds, as the only means of protection for these otherwise vulnerable parts. No such protection exist for it's eyes and insides. However, while he can withstand piercing attacks and slashing weapons, blunt tarma is most effective.

(Intermediate)Pincers & Claws: Snarnorgul's two crablike pincers are it's primary means of attack, and are about 3 feet long. They have the crushing force to easily grind and cut a car in two, snap steel bars, or rend flesh and bone. These razor-edged pincers resemble fused talons made of horn and serrated bone-like substances. However have great durability, able to withstand powerful sword cuts from energy weapons. Snarnorgul's lower arms sport powerful land deadly claws, and while not as powerful as their pincer counterparts, are much faster, often resembling a blur or storm of slashing rending claws the length of 8 inches when fully extended, powered as they are by the overdeveloped musculature and steel-like tendons of a Tanar'ri. Both pairs of natural weapons are diamond hard and easily cut through most objects. The 4 foot long horns on it's head also possesses equal durability.

(Intermediate)Maw-Claws: Like the claws or pincers he sports, Snarnorgul maw of teeth are extremely strong and powerful. They extend to an easy 6 inches in length, are no less durable, but have an added unique ability. These claws tear apart and consume bodies, absorbing their memories and assimilating the greater knowledge of whatever prey Snarnorgul manages to catch hold of. Two large 18inch tusk jut out of it's maw, both are adamantium-laced and thus many times stronger than steel.

(low)Speed: Snarnorgul can run at a steady 15 mph, hardly faster than a human and slower than many Olympic athletes. Snarnorgul does not possess great flexibility either, though he does have keen and quick reflexes and can leap forward covering a significant distance in little time. His overall jumping height from a standing position is just less than 10 feet. If needed Snarnorgul can sprint quicker for a wicked gore attack with his horns.

(Intermediate)Biology: Due to the horrific and desolate surroundings of their home world, natural selection has played a significant role in the evolution of the Tanar'ri. Unlike most sentient species of humanoids, of which they resemble little of, Tanar'ri eyes are completely red and narrow- on Earth, such small eyes are found on animals that live in barrows, and in this case it gives the Tanar'ri 60-degree vision, while Humans have an almost 180-degree forward-facing horizontal field of view. However, despite a narrower field of vision, or perhaps because of it Tanar'ri can see much further then a human, up to four times the distance with immense detail. Tanar'ri eyes have no pupils, but their red gleaming eyes had advanced low-light vision, allowing them exceptional eyesight at night or in total darkness, though they are sensitive to bright flashes. Tanar'ri possess slightly higher than average hearing then a normal human, but it's greatest sense is it's sense of smell allowing it to find even invisible foes. Tanar'ri can also go for weeks without food or water, and can survive off of little sleep. Tanar'ri have excellent bodily defenses against poisons and toxins, while magical born kinds they can effect a Tanar'ri for a time, they are quickly expelled from the body. Once this happens, no such poison, virus or their like can effect that Tanar'ri ever again, such is their ability to adapt. Once more, Tanar'ri most amazing physiological feature of their biology is the multiple instances of major organs. These secondary (and where applicable, tertiary) systems are capable of serving as back-ups in the event of damage to the primary biological structures. They have, for example, two hearts, four lungs, an extra liver like organ and four testicles. The presence of anther liver is one of the main reasons they can detoxify themselves so quickly of foreign agents.

(Intermediate) Regeneration: Tanar'ri possess a potent healing factor. Which can regenerate damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary sentient humanoid. Snarnorgul's healing factor is another defense that makes him extraordinarily resistant to diseases, drugs, and toxins. However, he can still suffer the immediate effects of such substances in massive quantities. It usually takes him three rounds, (post) to slowly mend light damage, twice as much for moderate damage, and days for extreme damage, such as the loss of a limb or organ. He can however place back a lost limb to reattach it if needed.

(Intermediate) Sonic scream: Snarnorgul can unleash a powerful and debilitating screech that can prove deadly to most creatures. It channels this screech into a narrow wind tunnel from it's maw, projecting a blast of infrasound as high as 200db. Enough to cause serious harm to biological targets, shatter glass, crystals, and even damage stonework. This is among Snarnorgul only extreme range attacks.

(Intermediate)Stomach Acid: Snarnorgul can manipulate and build up the stomach acid in it's gut to continuously dripping from his maw with acidic bile powerful enough to dissolve through steel. Snarnorgul also has a powerful tongue, extending up to ten feet, dripping with corrosive acids that can be used to snare prey and bring them in for consumption and digestion while leaving it's other limbs free for other tasks. Snarnorgul can store huge amounts of these highly acidic digestive fluids, and then spray it over a wide cone shaped area in front of it as far as 60 feet.

(Intermediate)Toxic sacks: Two sacks sit within the base of it's neck, which connect to it's mouth. These allow Snarnorgul to expel at will clouds of fetid poisonous gas that stings and burns soft organs like eyes, and if breathed in can slowly dissolve internal organs, they are also capable from that point of boiling a victim's blood while it is still in their veins. Snarnorgul is immune to this toxic gas.

(High) Tanar'ri mind: The Tanar'ri is a high caste of creatures belonging to a great hive mind. They are thus highly resistant to mind effecting Psionics, while are in turn capable of launching a mind blast that is a 60-foot (20m) cone that stuns anyone caught within it by projecting a mental scream. Undead, and constructs are immune to this effect, and powerful minds can overcome the mental pain. This ability also allows short range telepathic communication with other willing or unaware sentient beings.

Khans Beast Forge

Man Forged

Lord Cardinal Tablurath

Name: Khazna, Otherwise known as Tablurath

Titles: Lord Cardinal, Black Mask, Dark Skull, Lord Tablurath

Age: 24

Theme Song: Theme

Weight: 176 Ib

Height: 5'11

Gender: Male

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Race: Human

Character Tier: (Low Intermediate)

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant
Description:


Standing just over average height, Khazna possess only slightly broad shoulders with a somewhat deceiving lean if not athletic build, compact with wiry muscles and a very dark complexion. His most notable feature is the solid midnight black mask he wears at all times, cast in the visage of a smiling skull. He wears a grey and black armored bodysuit with various visible armor plating, such as shoulder plates, elbow pads, knee and shin pads. On his head he has a black and grey mask, the eye region is covered by a reflective black visor, the over all shape is that of a skull. Apart from this his he often wears a fur like cape ending just around his knees a duel clips allows it to be easily shed when needed.

Personality Description: Khazna personality can be described as somewhat erratic. He often seems carefree, lighthearted, often joking or making light of even the most dangerous of threats. Khazna often makes himself appear to be foolish or dim. He does this seemingly to cause others to underestimate him. His jabs are often aimed to cause rivals to make mistakes when brought to wrath. Khazna for the most part believes wholeheartedly Angar-Rylla cause to bringing peace and unification throughout all the omniverse. To Khazna there are only two types of people, those who support the Angar-Rylla, and those who are against them.

Skills, powers and abilities:

(Intermediate)Scion of War: Despite his fairly young age, Khazna's arduous and extensive training since childhood by the military collages of Angar-Rylla has conditioned him to the absolute peak of human physical potential, granting him considerable speed, reflexes, agility, and strength well beyond the standard of his age, even compared to most peak humans still in their prime. He also possesses remarkable stamina and resilience, able to continue fighting effectively even with critical wounds. A formidable opponent in battle, Khazna's lifelong training has given him remarkable mastery in firearms, martial arts such as CQC which resembles judo or jujutsu, free-running, and he has become especially known for his inhuman skill in swordsmanship, being able to wield up to five swords simultaneously and strike with blinding speed and precision, even to the point he can predict and deflect bullets in mid flight. He has also demonstrates himself to be extremely intelligent leader and skilled in alien or extradimensional military weaponry.

(Low)Eyes of War: Khazna is rumored to be a descendent to the long since dead God of War and Goddess of the hunt. If such is true, it easily explains Khazna's extraordinary skills, primarily his eyesight. He can see with perfect clarity at greater distances than an ordinary human, even in near-total darkness the second ability is being able to see through solid objects, basically translating into telescopic sight. Allow Khazna to see through most barriers, and other things such as smokescreens. This power truly manifest itself by giving him sight abilities that far exceed a regular human's eyesight; allowing him to read an opponent in battle and avoid oncoming attacks with little to no effort depending on the nature of the attack. This abilities evolution is known as the "Eye Of War" and allows Khazna, after four preps, total awareness 360 degree of his surroundings for 300 feet. It lasts the equality of post used to prep it. (minimum of 4)

(Low)Durability/Strength: Khazna's durability is only slightly superior to that of a peak human being, having adjusted to survive the wind resistance found in mach speeds. In all it's not overly impressive in the face of a multiverse full of giant beast, monsters, and droids. Khazna can dead-lift 600Ib though can hit with much greater force when combined with his potent speed.

(Low)Master Tactician: Khazna possess a keen military mind for both strategy and tactics. His campaigns leading Angar-Rylla forces have proven that he possess both intelligence and tenacity. He possess almost inhuman skill in calculating enemy moments keeping several steps ahead of any opponent he meets. A tactical master, taking every advantage offered him and seeking to create more. Khazna is also a very fast learner. Even if he observes a particular combat maneuver just once or twice, he is able to adapt it to his choice of weapons and duplicate it effectively in battle. He is also excellent at improvising; he can use his surroundings to excellent effect, when he would otherwise be at a severe disadvantage. Khazna is also a consummate warrior, combining his ambidexterity, military training, and warrior weapon skills to possibly be one of the most dangerous swordsmen in the Nexus Realms.

(High)Flash-point: Khazna was born gifted with extraordinary reflexes, but he's most impressive traits are in his speed and agility. Whether of innate ability or Angarian genetic tampering Khazna possess extraordinary reflexes. Through the use of 'flash-point' Khazna can summon the full might of his speed in quick burst exceeding or as high as 1100mph or reaching as high as mach 3, so fast it seems he is teleporting. However once Khazna starts moving at speeds exceeding the speed of sound, he can no longer easily discern his surroundings even with his god like eyesight. The world resembling one great blur of motion. To combat this Khazna built his blades out of a unique substance that are made up of strands only Khazna eyes can discern even while using flash-point. Allowing Khazna to always find them even while moving at high speeds. Khazna only ever uses short burst, for while has body has adjusted to using flash-point, Any prolonged use over 30 feet could theoretically flay both skin and muscle from his bones. Khazna also needs a clear point from one spot to the next in order to reach it.

(Intermediate)Strands of The Omniverse: Khazna's ability of sight does not end in accuracy and distance. Khazna has a rare gift in spotting strands and fibers that make up reality after achieving the right focus, even notice when these strands are disturbed by an invisible enemy, this ability thus allows him to see energy, energy flow, and the threads of energy circulating the system inside a body with great detail as well as the color of their energy. Unable to manipulate space or time, Khazna for the most part cannot interact with these strands or fibers. With his Starlhrim forged blades however, strands that build magical or supernatural effects can be cut when passing through certain focal points to alter them in such a way they collapse into themselves. In the most basic of terms, Khazna can slice a fireball or other magical bolt out of existence by cutting the power that sustains them from the rest of the effect. As the blades are cannot effect material objects in the same way, this only works on magical or supernatural attacks. The more energy (perp) within the attack, the more strands need to be found and cut to destroy it. (also measured in preps)

(Low)Disciplined Mind: Khazna intense psychotherapy coupled with an indomitable will grants him great resistance in the face of psionic attacks or seduction.

Character Equipment:

(Low)The Mask: Khazna's mask is not simply for show, as it possess several life support features as well. A built in respirator helps filter out toxins and draw upon an internal oxygen supply that can last indefinitely thanks to it's ability to recycle used air. The Visors over the mask's eye holes protect Khazna from light bursts and allows him to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum's as well as enable vision in low-light conditions.

(Low)Generals Vestment: Khazna wears little actual armor aside from light body protection which is made of special particles that help resist air friction from moving at great speeds, they also defend on the same level as a bullet proof vest on par with modern day Dragon Skin. His body suit uses dozens of small round ceramic plates built under a hard vest that further protects against sniper strength powered rounds while tightly woven fiber layers can give soft armor resistance to stab and slash attacks from knives and similar close-quarter weapons.

(High) Serenity and Mercy: Khazna always carries with him at all times twin blades both forged of a rare meteorite ore known as Starlhrim. Aside from being an ultra hard and lightweight material reportedly being able to cut through all known steel with ease, it has a unique reaction to supernatural forms of energy like magic. Once it comes into contact with it, it can store bolts of energy from raw elemental attacks, of which can then be used to help not only deflect these attacks but also dissipate them. Khazna skill with them means he can literally use them to cut away the energy used to manipulate these attacks. Mages and other arcanist are said to hate this material with a passion for their use in hunting their kind. The blades themselves are are razor sharp, enough to cut through tungsten, is forged entirely of Starhilm, making them resistant to almost all forms of elemental energy, including acid, force, fire, water/ice, earth, and wind. The swords have an overall length of 35.5 inches, both are kept in scabbards that house countless nano-machines known as Mibs. These Mibs are capable of almost instantly repairing any marks or even reconstructing the blades using a method called Matter Proliferation. Khazna built into each halt a specially designed trap that will spring if the blades are handled improperly, with Khazna knowing the exact manor in which to wield them. After a post of someone else wielding one of his blades, blades will explode out from all around the handle, slicing apart the victims hands. The blades can cut almost any known solid material, including most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone. The only known exceptions are Starhilm and other ultra-hard metals like adamantium. Khazna's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert and the thickness of the substance. The grip and pommel length measure 6.25 inches giving it an overall length of 41.75" allowing decent reach, and a weight of 2 pounds 6 ounces.

(Low)Dance of Blades: The nano-machines Khazna possess can spread out in a thin dark mist from each scabbard at Khazna's waist. Khazna can slice through this mist where upon the per-programed mibs will suddenly replicate the blade. This will for a short time make a double of the weapon, and there is no limit to the amount of time Khazna can do this as long as there is none-living matter close at hand for the mibs to replenish themselves. These fakes will fad and fall apart after a period of time (roughly four post), only Khazna himself can tell can tell the difference from a clone and the real blade thanks to his familiarity. The blades themselves are just as strong as the real ones they mimic.

(Low) Training weights: Khazna has strapped pair's of heavy 50 pound weights, these extremely heavy weights on his ankles appear deceptively light, increasing his strength at the cost of inhibiting his speed to levels that many of his peers still consider quite fast.Upon removing the weights, Khazna's speed vastly increases, making it almost impossible to see his movements with the unaided eye. Thus allowing him to reach mach speeds found in 'Flash-Point'.

Character History: Khazna was born in a colony world of the Angar-Rylla empire. The moment he was born Khazna was born his destiny had already been decided for him. He was chosen as part of a new Commander training program called "Project Tribune." Young children were taken young and placed within a foster school which would house them the rest of their young adult lives. There Khazna developed all his skills and knowledge in the are of war. Khazna is the name given to him upon gradation. He was originally "Prospective Number 12" amongst hundreds in a secret program created by Angar-Rylla and the Angarian military to find the perfect Commander. The whole process involved gathering male and female infants from their birth and secretly raising them up within the collage. They were taught about the world, strategy, history, and politics in classrooms. When old enough, Khazna and other would begin training with swords and would duel against one another in matches with everyone watching. Every candidate used the same type of sword, the same blade Khazna uses to this day. After their training was complete and gradation neared, doctors would then inject the Gene-spores bearing the genetic code of Angar-Rylla's greatest leaders and strategist into the candidates, the ones before Number 12 died as the powerful genes destroyed their bodies in rejection. Khazna ended up as the sole survivor of the process, his unique heritage allowing him to survive the experiments.

On his 20th birthday Khazna was given command of his first squad, and each and every mission he partook of he excelled expectations. A man of extremes, Khazna always went the distance, rapidly raising through the ranks. By the time he became Lord Cardinal with a fleet under his command, had already earned a string of successes under his belt and gained quite the reputation. Now having learned of the Nexus of worlds from Sir Dou’far Klaast preachings on the topic. Khazna too see's it as a glorious opportunity to spread the might and order of the Angar-Rylla Empire through all the muiltiverse.

Khans Beast Forge

Nargesh

Name:: Nargesh "Tall Shadow" gra-Gonhamph, Shadow of Death
Age:: 28
Sex:: Female
Breed:: Half-ogre (part Orc and ogre)

Appearance: Perhaps unsurprising of someone of Nargesh unique background, she is a veritable giantess. Nargesh possesses a heavyset yet athletic and muscled frame, she stands freakishly tall at nearly 9 feet in height and well over 40 stones in weight (534 lbs./242 kg). Her features are crude, intimidating with large lower tusk some 6 inches long, her imposing visage befitting her great size, underlying a fierce personality- with slightly larger lower lips and an almost flat nose. She possessess dark green if almost ebony skin with the rare patches of white scattered across her body. One such patch of white covers her left eye and reaches as far back as her left ear. Lithoderms—coin-sized bone-and-skin growths as hard as pebbles—speckle her arms, shoulders, and torso. Her hair is midnight black and is braided in long locks (dreads) that reach as far as the small of her back. Narges's eyes are a brilliant green, her skull having a slightly jutting eyebrow ridge, wide jaw, and the occasional lithoderms as well, with a few running above the eyebrows of each eye. Her form is rather voluptuous, given her large size, but rippling with muscle, as well as countless faded lines of healed scars that all reveal a hard life lived at the edge of a sword. Her eyes reveal an inner light that betrays some intelligence that is at odds with her seemingly dimwitted visage. Her knuckles are edge with the hard bone of lithoderms, so even unarmed her hands would serve to bloody ones face if she so minded to. Her ears are slightly angled like that of most orcs, but is slightly longer, as those found on a Goliath Ogre.


Skills/Abilities:
- Mastery of the blade. Nargesh's clan descended from a long line of blademasters of an almost lost martial art of the Orcish people. The Iron Heart discipline focuses on pure weapon skill. Its students learn to complete fighting maneuvers that border on the supernatural. Absolute mastery of the sword is the goal of the Iron Heart discipline. Through unending practice and study, the Iron Heart adept achieves extraordinary skill with her weapons. Iron Heart maneuvers are demonstrations of uncanny martial skill—weaving patterns of steel that dizzy, confuse, and ultimately kill with no recourse. The key skill is balance, because body control, good footing, and impeccable timing are important to completing Iron Heart maneuvers. Nargesh training was sadly abandoned before she could ever become close to a true master, what she has kept and perfected, she passes on to new blade recruits.
- Nargesh managed to pick up skills in forging and tempering steel, as was her tribes tradition. While no master of the art, she reveals competent skill.
-Physical strength and stamina; being half orc and half Goliathian Ogre, Nargesh possess extraordinary physical might, as well as stamina. She could run for hours at roughly 30mph- as fast as a horse, though, not for as long- and can crush the head of an elf with on hand.
-Embrace Pain; while gripped by bloodlust, Nargesh can shrug off wounds that would fell lesser orcs, and has a incredible tolerance to physical pain.
-Heightened hearing

Equipment:
- The Battered and well used armor worn by Nargesh is a collection of war trophies and melted down iron plates fitted for her overgrown size. Lined with fur as well as well decorated for her many kills and victories.
- The Greatsword wielded by Nargesh is nearly larger then she is, at an easy 9 feet in length, several inches across. Her strength and skill allow her to easily cut down several lesser foes with but a single swing.
- Nargesh also keeps a longer dagger, nearly the length of a sword for smaller individuals, at the small of her back within easy reach should she need it.
- She is also known to carry throwing axes as her only ranged option.
- Whip, used when training new recruits of the blades.

History

Nargesh – as her strange appearance would hint- is the by product of the coupling of orc and ogre blood. While rare it is not completely unheard of, however, Nargesh's conception was anything but consensual. A raid on her tribe, the Mor-dashka, by an enemy tribe of ogres saw to the unfortunate event of Nargesh's mother violently raped and left for dead. The tribe survived- albeit barely- and so did Nargesh's mother; against all odds. Gulfzush – Narsgesh's mother- would later that year give birth to her daughter. Upon seeing the new born, the midwife had nearly killed it in infancy. Gulfzush intervened and begged her to keep the nature of the child secret. A adept of some skill in shamanistic magic, Nargesh used a simple illusion spell to hid the child’s ogre features. The majority of Nargesh's childhood from then on was quite uneventful, save for the raids, skirmishes, or even the rare wars that are common among the orckin. Lead by their new warlord, Othlg gra-Gonhamph, who's wife was Gulfzush herself. She was one of the many wives he had, but was easily his most favored, for both her wisdom and mystical might. Nargesh was treated no better growing up even if many believed her to be the offspring of the warchief. If anything, she was pushed harder then most. As days grew harder for he tribe, a few of the younger women were taking up arms. Even at ten years of age, Nargesh had already grown considerably, capable of besting any of the boys in a fight. For, this she earned the nickname “Tall-Shadow” among her people. She was thus pushed harder than most, and made up the only few female warriors of the tribe. She was trained personally by her -as she believed at the time- father, who tended to favor her due to her brute strength and size. In fact, Othlg often lamented on the subject of her gender, wishing she had but been born a male to thus inherent his leadership. He knew far too well the ways of his people would not so easily bend to the will of a woman.

Misfortune would strike when the tribe was forced to raid into the southern plains due to an ongoing drought in orc lands. These were Cadoorian Imperial lands, however, and they did not take too kindly to their lands being looted. Othlg traveled quickly with his tribe to the western north mountains, believing the caves and rocks there would allow his people to hide until the men had given up the search. However, he had underestimated how organized The Empires armies were, as the limitanei border troops had to operate with a great deal of autonomy, and thus were quick to track down the tribe en-route. The tribe fought bravely, and Othlg himself lead the battle, but ultimately it proved a disaster for the unorganized and undisciplined orc tribal warriors. Othlg gra-Gonhamph as well as Gulfzush herself fell in the battle, and most of the tribe was routed in short order. Those who fled were run down, and Nargesh herself was later captured. She had single-handedly killed fifteen men before she was taken down. Brought low by a powerful spell of holding when more direct but mundane means proved deadly. The Lord Captain decided a quick death would not serve as punishment, and took her and many of her surviving tribe members as slaves back to the capital. Cadoori entertainment consisted of a unique form of public showing, known as gladiatorial games fought in large arenas called Collosies, for it was here that she and he kin were sentenced to death as her, and all her fellow tribesmen as well as other condemned prisoners were thrown into a fighting pit, and told only the last one standing would live. Almost over one hundred orcs and other undesirables were flung into the arena, after a day and a half of bloodshed, only one blood soaked Nargesh remained. Bruised but alive, she had defied all odds, and it was by this time -without the magic of her mothers over her- she was revealed to be what she truly was. Seeing her near pitch black skin and lithoderms for the first time caused her to believe the gods had cursed her for slaying her own kin.

On that day on she was Known simply as “The Shadow of Death,” born from the fact she had survived as well has he unnaturally dark skin. She became a crowd favorite, going on to survive many more bouts, earning a bloody reputation as her skill and infamy grew. When Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi were employed by the Empire to quell a rebellion, they heard of the black orc that could not be killed, and quickly sought to buy her freedom. Nargesh was given the simple choice of then continuing on in her own path, or joining the then still young Mercenary band. She decided the gods had given her a second chance, and joined the band willingly. Becoming one, if no their most skill, blademaster.

Personality and Psychological profile:
Nargesh carries herself with a stoic resolute attitude, being quick to anger and slow to forgive slits- imagined or not. Having sprung from two races not known for their intelligence, it should perhaps come as little surprise Nargesh is not on possessing much quickness of the mind. Her method of solving a problem is often direct, if not painfully obvious or predictable. She has little in the ways of humour and the subtlety of sarcasm are lost on her more than not. Brutish though brilliant in martial matters, she understands little beyond fighting. Combined with her dull wit and the vaunted libido of a Goliath Ogre, makes for an individual who approaches almost everything in a direct and open matter. She cares little for accolades, false gestures, or praise. Actions speak loudest to her, not words.

So as a quick question. Who's looking for a fight? Just asking to see who's available.

I'm even willing to do two on ones if ya'll are afraid. :P

To the Screams of the Roman Mob

Gatsha watched, waited, and sure enough her opponent made the first move. Dashing across the expanse between them in a headlong charge to engage in combat. Gatsha hunkered down and waited, raising her shield arm slightly. The man's shield she noted as indeed quite large, and easily the heaviest piece of equipment he had. An interesting choice for one on one combat. She noted also that while she was taller, the man seemed more heavyset then herself. She’d have to keep that in mind if it come to close quarters fighting. Gatsha even noted that she had not seen many pale men with this ones hair color before. Though in truth, all the north-men looked the same to her.

Once in range her opponent started off with a simple underhand thrust. A move she had been well prepared for. Her shield was smaller and covered less than her opponents, but it was also lighter, quicker, and thicker. Her shield arm shifted diagonally from upper left too a downward right sweep across, effectively batting her opponents spear point aside and down. Considering his momentum and the fact Gatsha stood parallel so her left side faced her opponent, it was a simple enough task to ward away the probing attack.

As she deflected the man's thrust down, she couched her spear and shot out a high thrust of her own toward the man's face, specifically between the eyes, in the form of a quick jab. Placing most of her eight on her left foot as she did so. She expect it to be blocked, but it would force him to duck under his shield thus obfuscating his line of sight for a moment. If he wasn't quick enough, he could easily get a get a gash across the forehead. The kind that loved to bleed. Or lose an eye at worse. In short Gatsha would deflect Brennus’s spear thrust down while countering with her own jab toward his face in the span of a heart beat.

Block or hit Gatsha would pull back her spear and wait for an opening to present itself while her smaller shield was held at the ready.
