Grirgor

"'Are you offering drinks or tea? Never mind, I'll take both.'"-Grirgor

Grirgor is a half orc paladin and warlock originally born in the scar, but moved to Al Moija shortly after. He is one of the main protagonists in the group. Grirgor is left to fend for himself at the age of thirteen when his father leaves in the middle of the night, leading him to travel across the land of Evia in the hopes to find him again.

Appearance
Grirgor is a 23 year old half orc standing at 6ft 7 and weighing around 169kg. He has lime green skin, green eyes, and long black hair tied up in a knot. He has a scar of a claw scratch along his left eye. He wears chain mail armour, carries an explores pack, and has a sheathe for his sword on his back. He also has his shield on his back. His vessel is attached to his belt.

Personality
Grirgor's alignment is Lawful Good, following the God Osiris (Oskaan). He is strong and charismatic, but not very intelligent. Due to his size, he is also not very dexterous. He follows the Oath of the Ancients, and very heavily follows the idea of the circle of life. Growing up by himself in Al Moija, he is one with nature, and can draw lessons from observing it. His ideal is simply the greater good. He will sometimes get puzzling visions of an upcoming disaster, and even through his little understanding, will try to prevent it. He can be persuasive, intimidating, deceitful, or emotional, often having a temper when things don't work out for him.

Birth-Early Life
Grirgor was originally born in the Scar, but his father took him to Al Moija shortly after for a safer living. In Al Moija, they stuck around the town of Vathordrinn, but resided away from civilization. He learnt all about Osiris from his father, who also followed him. Although young, he was still taught how to fight for himself, gather food, make medicine, and other basic survival skills. This was foreshadowing of his fathers eventual departure. He grew a strong bond with his father, as even though they would still go into civilization here and there, he was the only person he knew.

Adolescence
When he was 13, his father left in the middle of the night, leaving only a note behind. It read "My past is catching up to me, and I fear what will become of you if it were to arrive. I'm sorry this is how it has to be. I love you-H". With the skills and knowledge he had learnt from his father, he was able to survive on his own. He could no longer stay where they were as the memories were too much for him.

He started to travel around Al Moija still keeping to himself. He could feed himself each day with his ability to hunt, however in some places the wildlife was scarce. With money becoming an issue, Grirgor headed into nearby town Garatheas where he would see a bounty bored. Needing money, he knew it was something he was capable of and took it on. It was on one of these bounties where he met fellow companion Elijah Fairwood.

First encounter with Elijah
On one of his later bounties, he was tasked to take out bandits in the area surrounding the Lake of Fire. When he arrived at the bandit camp, he saw Elijah tied up to a tree with a group of bandits standing around 20ft away. He snuck over to the tree without being seen by the bandits, while making sure to signal to him to keep quiet. While cutting the ropes, he over heard the bandits talking about selling him or killing him. They then nodded and turned towards Elijah. Grirgor stood up behind the tree to keep hidden. The bandits noticed the ropes were loose, pulled out a knife and sliced at Elijah's ear. After letting out an agonizing scream, Grirgor appeared from behind the tree and took down a bandit before they realized what happened. After taking out the following bandits, he untied Elijah, who sworn to repay the favor.

Vision of his father
Before Grirgor could take his next bounty, he suffered an awful vision during the night. It showed a moose in front of a great tower on a mountain wearing a silver crown with seven points. It spoke the word "Answers" before rotting away. The tower and mountain behind crumbled until there was nothing but dust, bones, and a broken crown. He awoke, remembering his father had told him stories of the great towers in Giriam. This was a calling for Grirgor to go to Giriam to get closer to his father.

First encounter with Cyran
After he gathered information that his father may be in the United Kingdom of Giriam, he picked up a job that could get him across the border. He picked up his taste for ale and the like along the way. During one of his routinely visits in Salomin at the Crooked Tavern, he met Cyran at a bar and struck up conversation. In the conversation, they had discovered they were heading to the same destination. They came up with the idea to travel to Giriam together due to the uncertainty of Giriam compared to Al Moija.
