[OC] [Art] first campaign character! thozar aturak :) /u/themerls DnD: Roll for Initiative!

my friends and i FINALLY decided to start planning out a dnd campaign!! it’s our very first one, so a lot of excitement, of course!!

i immediately ran to go ahead and draw him, obviously 😉

so here you have him, folks!

name: thozar aturak race: half-orc class: ranger alignment: chaotic neutral

i’ve got a more information, of course, but those bits are somewhat irrelevant. instead, let me take you to the backstory!

( note : our dm(s) wanted us to start off all in the same village, but none of us being born there / belonging there! so while my backstory is quite basic, i had to use the only tools available, haha )

Thozar was born of a marriage of benefit and alliance between two collectives of humans and orcs. Despite the union and the child that they bore, the disagreements within these collectives eventually led to war. Seeing that they no longer needed be together, his parents separated with ease. But none of them wanted to keep the disgraceful, odd half-breed child that represented their failures.

His mother ran with him, clutching Thozar in her arms. Not so far as would inconvenience her further, but far enough to keep him away from her for good. She put him in a haphazardly wrapped blanket somewhere close enough to the village, not even checking to see if someone ever found him. She left a note to quickly scribble down any relevant information, left a dragon-tooth pendant around his neck, and never looked back.

Thozar was found, but he was never quite ‘claimed. Some people were nice and pitied him enough to make sure he never starved, but they’d never quite let him get close. Most people found him repulsive and terrifying. He did not give two shits (outwardly, anyway). He grew to become a loud, mouthy, grinning idiot.

Thozar likes to annoy charm people, not really caring who or what he’s talking to. Despite his naturally extroverted nature, he doesn’t really have anyone he’d say he’s close to or honestly anyone he’d consider a friend. He quite likes to move around a lot and he’s not very good at staying in place. Thozar spends many of his evenings practicing archery out in the woods.

please tell me if he’s any good! first-timer tips are also greatly appreciated 🙂
