{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}

Build; Big, big, big. Lok easily towers over most human beings he meets, and is typically twice as broad as any he meets, too. Very well muscled from rich nutrition and constant physical activity.

Color; Like many of his kind, Lok's skin is a dark sage green. He has dark brown hair and pale aqua eyes.

Alterations; As an orc, Lok has a large set of tusks that protrude from his lower jaw, and  he has pointed ears. On his elbows and forearms are a set of pointed boney growths that Lok must keep shortened by grinding them against tree bark or boulders.

Modifications; Like others of his tribe, Lok has extensive and intricate scarification on his chin and shoulders. These scars range from simple small lacerations that were made to heal puffy, and round pebbling made by inserting small river stones.

Dress; Typical for his tribe. Lok wears leather-hide leggings underneath a leather panel loincloth. During the winter seasons, he's often wrapped in a very thick woolen poncho, which has been dyed a deep indigo. He wears a series of armbands and bracelets, mostly made from dyed strips of hide or cow horn and bones whittled into beads. Lok wears his long, thick hair half pulled back into a ponytail, with thick braids draped over his shoulders.

{PERSONALITY}

Jovial, mischievous, altruistic, gullible, a bit naive, more to be determined as a consequence of RPing lol

His dad, and others TBD

{HISTORY}

Lok hails from a northern tribe of the Territok (aka Thunderblack Mountain) orcs. Rather than going south into the Serha plains, Lok's tribe travels north, and moves their cattle through the southern Adelan territories.

As such, Lok and most of his tribe know at least passing conversational words in the dialects they come into contact with, as well as the Ketran dialect of the Trader's Tongue. They keep their own orcish language to their camps and amongst themselves, and tend to automatically shift to Ketran when dealing with a non-orc, primarily because their language is so harsh and full of nuanced sounds it's simply less complicated to use human speech. Lok likes to mess with non-orcs a bit by pretending not to speak human, since he's always found them trying to pantomime words funny. Even better is their face when he speaks perfect Ketran shortly after.

Lok's always loved being out on the road - he likes the adventure that comes with travel, the new experiences on even a well-known road. He's happy enough in the main camp with the rest of his tribe, but is well known for wandering off after a couple of days.
