Gnarsh

Gnarsh is the half-orc character in the rising campaign

Backstory
Gnarsh was born and raised into a life of discrimination, one which he is destined to be frowned upon by other races and treated like the vermin of where he grew up. His orcish father was originally part of one of the noble orc families from his region. His father was amongst the strongest of the orcs for many miles around. On the other hand his mother was a fine huntress, with brilliant agility and great understanding of the forests. Unfortunately despite her great skills as a huntress, it was seen as unacceptable that a female human to have a child with a man from the brutish orc race. When orcs found out the truth, they immediately had her sent to be executed along with Gnarsh. At only 4 years old he witnessed the horrific sight of his own mother's head being axed right in front of him. After seeing his own wife being axed and not being able to do anything, Gnarsh's father decided to have them free his son but as a consequence they were permanently exiled from the city.

During their time in the seemingly never ending forest, Gnarsh was trained by his father to be the strongest half-orc warrior known for many years to come. Survival was tough however despite scarcity of resources, Gnarsh was thriving and living a fairly peaceful life. His strength grew rapidly, and by the young age of 10 he was even starting rival his own father's strength. All seemed to be going great, until the night that Gnarsh would never forget. One morning he woke up to find that his father was nowhere to be seen, all that was left was a pool of blood but with no corpses to be seen. All he remember from that night was that a voice which was almost definitely his father's, spoke to him and said, "Remember this. Stay strong and courageous, and if you follow your heart you will become a hero for all races, for beast and men. Do not ever bow down to your enemies and you will even make the most powerful of orcs think highly of you and some may even tremble in fear.". Ever since that day Gnarsh may have had to drink so much he can barely stand in order to calm his anger enough to be able to sleep, however  what he has gained is a reason to keep pushing forward. From that day onward Gnarsh knew that what he was fighting for was the answer to his questions, "is my father still alive and if so where is he", and "what did that message mean".
