Post a random fact about yourself.

Yea, I never gamble. I know this is virtual funds, but still. Don't do it. Not completely true. I play 8-ball pool, but I'm betting on my skill with playing pool.

Had another great week in Fantasy Football. My team is now 6-0. Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG and Sony Michel, RB, NE both had great games this weekend.

Kato Okoye

Kato Okoye

"Don’t ever think that the reason I’m peaceful is because I don’t know how to be violent."

Identification/Serial Number: KL-3724

Sex: Male

Age: 20

Homeworld: Haruun Kal

Rank: Trooper (Private)

Role: Support (Light Repeating Blaster Gunner)

Callsign Knockout

Appearance: Kato Okoye stands 72” tall (183cm) and is lean with a muscular frame. His weight is proportionate for a muscle bound lad at just over 90 Kg (200 Lbs). He has dark skin, brown eyes and very short black hair. Kato’s appearance is very important to him. His unblemished skin is well taken care of. He can be a bit eccentric about staying as clean as he can. Kato is the sort to not allow one strand of hair out of place. His starched and polished uniform and body armor are always in perfect condition. His squad sergeant is challenged to find a spec of dirt on his armor and uniform.

Equipment:
Stormtrooper armor
T-21 light repeating blaster
SE-14r light repeating blaster
Thermal detonators

Psychological Analysis: Kato is a quiet man who prefers not to speak unless spoken to. He is one hundred percent committed to the Empire, willing to lay down his life for the Empire; or more specifically his brothers in the Battalion. Kato’s superiors would quantify Trooper Okoye as reliable and dependable. When the chips are down, he is there laying down a heavy accurate base of fire or assaulting headlong into an enemy position. He can be very meticulous insuring his equipment is well maintained and clean. He takes pride in his appearance wearing the whitest stormtrooper armor in the Battalion.

When it comes to making decisions, Kato can be either indecisive if he does not care or does not know. He is also very picky or finicky about the things he does like. If things aren’t to his specifications he may complain, mope or mumble about how crappy conditions are. One of the few times he will speak up, is when he has a gripe about a miserable condition the squad is forced to endure. Kato can be boastful especially if he is intoxicated. Liquor will loosen his lips., albeit he is a happy drunk. He knows he is the best soldier in the battalion and might be willing to share this truth with anyone willing to listen. However, Kato will not initiate the conversation. The trooper from Haruun Kal will lie, cheat or steal his way out of a bad situation just to not get in trouble. He can be dishonest if he believes he can get away with the lie. He won’t tell a lie just to tell a lie. If there is no harm in telling the truth, then he will. If it is just a bad situation where he believes he will be punished for his actions, he will try to pass the blame onto someone else or make up a story to spare himself from any blame.

Backstory: Kato Okoye grew up on Haruun Kal the third son of a farming family. The village he grew up in consisted completely of farmers. He and his brothers worked the family farm in the morning and whenever their father demanded they perform duties. When they had time off, they played games running through the fields and forests pretending at whatever desire they wished.

Kato enjoyed an enhanced athleticism the other boys could only dream of. He excelled at sports and even outperformed them at work. He knew he was better and found himself boasting about it with pride. He was confident about everything he did. His father was unsettled by Kato’s arrogance, trying to temper him, but the father simply lacked the energy or time to make significant gains leaving that trait to the Empire to curb.

When he enlisted, Kato was thrilled at the chance to better himself as a soldier and to experience adventure the stormtroopers had to offer. He knew he would excel as a trooper and would one day lead a company of assault troops when the opportunity presented it. He considered himself a natural born leader.

During his indoctrination training (Basic Combat Training), Kato quickly learned that if you volunteered for something or were overly eager about getting into an unknown training event, it could lead to trouble. He learned to remain silent and stay in the rear to watch. When questioned about mishaps. He took the position of, it is better to deny than admit anything. He would not be a scapegoat and would pass the blame off onto the others whenever possible. He did not want to be the one blamed for every mishap. One more thing, it is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

As a soldier, he was always at the top of his class in physical endeavors. He excelled at the Physical Fitness Tests and achieved the highest scores on the obstacle courses. He qualified expert with E11 Blaster Rifle, T-21 light repeating blaster (LRB) and the SE-14r light repeating blaster. Shooting was another activity the naturally competitive Kato Okoye excelled at. Academically, Kato struggled, but he would never talk about those pursuits. They were not as important. In his opinion being able to sustain the fight and engage targets were critical tasks.

During an engagement on some irrelevant planet. Kato had his helmet shot off his head. It knocked him back on the ground; the helmet destroyed, but he was otherwise unharmed. Once he shook off the effects of the blast, he slowly gathered himself and re-engaged targets with his LRB. He held the trigger down for five to nine round bursts as he typically did. The other LRB gunner in the squad was set up about 50 to 60 meters to his left. They would alternate bursts at their objective keeping it suppressed. It was as though the two Light Repeating Blasters were talking to one another.

Although Kato is aware of the dangers of his occupation, he is not worried. He believes the Empire has trained him and brothers extremely well. The soldiers of the 121st Assault Battalion are an elite organization ready to take on all opposition throughout the known galaxy.

Darin Torblad

Username: @Gunther

Character Name: Darin Torblad

Clan and Hold (if any): Clan Holzheim is an old mining clan at the World’s Edge Mountains at Peak Pass or Karak Kadrin. As a member of Clan Holzheim, Darin “Barbossa” Torblad is also a member of the mining guild having joined at his home in Karak Kadrin.

Gender: Male

Age: 96

Career/Profession (if any) and Skills: Clan Holzheim worships Grungni, God of Mining and Stoneworks, mining the World’s Edge Mountains at Karak Kadrin. Many members of Clan Holzheim, including the Torblads have crossed the line from Grungni to Grimnir, God of War, making the Slayers’ Pilgrimage. Like his ancesters, Darin is a Miner. He knows pounding rocks with pick and shoveling dirt and stones into a cart. His sinews are hardened from years of working in the mines. Darin has also participated in battles and skirmishes with Goblins, Orcs, Elves and Trolls gaining experience in battle.

Equipment (Includes weapons, armor and so on) Darin carries a two and a half foot battle axe as his primary weapon, but is also proficient in the use of a pick axe as a weapon. He has some training in the use of bow and arrow but does not carry one. He also carries a hand axe and dagger on his belt. Darin carries a leather back pack, three weeks rations, candles, flint and tinder, 3 flasks of oil, small leather pouch containing coins, 100' of rope and religious symbols for both Grungni and Grimnir. Inside the small leather pouch are five gold, thirteen silver and eight copper coins.

Physical Description: Darin is 96 years old, standing 4' 2" tall and weighing 210 Lbs. He has red hair and beard with black eyes. His red beard (Barbarossa) is often decorated with braids. "Barbarosa" as he is known by those in the Mining Guild of Karak Kadrin wears banded, (leather/iron) armor: chest, grieves, shin guards, boots, mantle, forearm guards, gauntlets, and battle helm with horns. When not wearing his armor, Darin also has a cloak, under tunic, wool trousers, low leather boots, Leather belt, and over tunic

Background/History: Darin was born and raised in Karak Kadrin, also known as the Slayer’s Keep. This Dwarven stronghold guards a region of mountainous passes known simply as Peak Pass. It is an important trading route running through the World’s Edge Mountains from the distant east to the Old world. It is in close proximity to the Human world and thereby contains a Human Quarter with larger architecture than the rest of the city.

Due to its location, Karak Kadrin is both a waypoint along a wealthy trading route and a popular spot for invasions passing in either direction. Because of this fact, it has attracted the attention of a group of warriors known as the Dwarven Slayers. Karak Kadrin has been the Slayers’ home for centuries and their influence is present throughout the city, which is often known as “Slayer Keep.” A large temple has been erected at the Peak Pass strong hold to worship Grimnir, the Dwarf Ancester God of fearlessness and fighting spirit or simply, God of War. Everyone hailing from the city is imbued with similar quantities of fearlessness and a fighting spirit.

The Fighting spirit was not lost on Darin Torblad. His family lived in the mining district and worked the mines for centuries. His great great grandfather, Thurrik Torblad was elevated to the position of Mining Elder and sits on the council of elders in Karak Kadrin. Darin’s line of ancestors from Thurrik to himself are still alive, all of whom reside at Karak Kadrin. His great grandfather, Fodrunn repairs mining tools and weapons at the primary mining forge. His grandfather, Londrec mines along with his father, Doldrun. Darin has four brothers; Yorrick, Garber, Thamarack and Bjordrin. Darin has fifteen first cousins, thirty-five second cousins and fifty-eight third cousins who all work the mines at Karak Kadrin. The Slayer Keep is home to Darin’s family. Not all use the surname Torblad. Some go by their clan name Holzheim and a several offshoots of the clan go by Bissingen, Türsheim and Torwirth.

Darin Torblad acquired the nickname Barbarossa later in his youth as he grew his flaming red beard. The humans of a nearby community had given him the moniker and it stuck. In one of the human tongues, the name means, "Red Beard". Darin is usually even tempered but tends to get the dander up when someone other than a dwarf makes derogatory comments about the Dwarves of Peak Pass. He is quick to ire and ready to fight if the wrong person says the wrong thing. If the comments continue, Barbarossa's face turns red. He will make every effort to contain his anger. If it continues, he will as politely as he can tell the offending person, to kindly shut the hell up. If the person does not heed his warning, he will jump into a fight and expect any dwarf within earshot to join him.

Throughout Darin’s life as a Dwarf of the Peak Pass, he has found himself in hostile struggles alongside a few Slayers as well as simple miners like himself. Most of these struggles he was armed with either his battle axe, which he has taken to calling, Aderlatning an old Dwarven word for “Bloodletting”. He has fought against Goblins, Orcs, Elves and Trolls during these random encounters in the hinterlands.

When Darin was 65 years old, he and twenty-four other dwarves encountered a group of three Mountain Trolls. The young Dwarf was terrified of the Trolls primarily because of their size but was able to get in a few hits before the beasts fell. Seventeen of his brothers survived the encounter, losing eight to the Trolls. Three of his cousins died and one lost his left arm in the fight.

Darin has come to a point in his life, where he has considered making the pilgrimage for the Slayer’s of Karak Kadrin. He does not know if he truly wants to commit himself completely to Grimnir. This question he must resolve in his mind. He has left the stronghold to join a party of adventurers in order to determine if this is the path he wishes to follow. He will fight for a group of friends in search of finding the answer to his dilemma. This is his personal quest.

Post a random fact about yourself.

As of today, it has been two weeks sense I moved put if my parents place.

I find roses, blue eyes, blonde hair, and Ferraris to be overrated, among a ton of other things.

@HaleyTheRandom

It has never been about the appearance. Well, maybe if you are a teen or 20-something it is. But even then. I've dated blue eyes and blonde hair and found the personalities to be quite lacking. I've also dated dark hair and brown eyes and found personalities lacking.

Post a random fact about yourself.

We are slowly approaching November. I grow a beard every November and then shave it off the beginning of December. My wife hates facial hair and she tolerates it for one month of the year.
