Name: Jerrek
Age: 19 (Akin to 26 in Human terms)
Sex: Male
Race: Orc
Appearance:
While out in the wilds Jerrek makes sure to never be caught without his armor donned and weapons by his side. A folded twelve foot chain dangles from the right side of his belt, clattering against his armor as he walks. An axe and a sword, both intended to be held in one hand, are securely strapped down onto a small pack that Jerrek carries on his back. On Jerrek's left side a small buckler is held securely in place.
Once inside city walls or a secured town Jerrek allows himself to relax. Instead of armor Jerrek dons loose fitting clothes consisting of dark colors, a belt, his traveler boots, and his white gloves. If the laws permit it he will still carry his weapons.
Biography:
As a young child Jerrek was raised like any other member of the Kayagara Clan. His father and mother made sure to train him and his five siblings in the art of fighting with many different weapons. Being that both his parents were warriors it was only expected that Jerrek and his siblings follow suit. While all of his siblings learned how to fight only two of them became warriors. This surprised his parents as well as those in the clan privy to this information. His sister, the oldest child, and Jerrek, the middle child, developed a strong bond as a result of their chosen lifestyle. Sparring frequently and working together the two pushed each other to become stronger.
Once Jerrek grew old enough for his proving trial at the age of thirteen, when an Orc is considered an adult, he ventured south to the Trenlow Sound with a small group of fighters. Using the weapon of his great grandfather, a twelve foot spiked chain wielded with a pair of thick leather gloves, Jerrek assisted in the slaying of his first fiend. After bringing back news of such his father gave Jerrek the gloves his great grandfather had made, the Gloves of the Ghoul.
Two years later Jerrek and his older sister, Grendella, left the safety of the growing Kayagara Clan to seek adventure. Together the two of them traveled collecting small trinkets to remind them of their ventures. On one fateful day Jerrek was approached by a
city cat after purchasing a meal. Immediately taking a liking to the creature Jerrek lovingly called it "Kitten" and shared his food with it. After this Kitten traveled with Jerrek and Grendella. On his eighteenth birthday they returned home to be with family. Deciding that the calls of adventure were to great Jerrek left Kayagara and his sister behind. With Kitten as his companion the Orc set out for Port Neworth.

Unique1:
Blood-lust: It is said that Orcs are most dangerous when corned and about to die. This is more than a rumor. Orcs who have been greatly injured enter into an enraged state as new found energy surges through them in a last ditch effort to kill before being killed.
Unique2: Gloves of the Ghoul: A pair of stained off white gloves made of thick leather with black fur trim. The skin once belonged to a hideous creature of magic whose touch would leave even the most seasoned of warriors exhausted. His great grandfather killed this creature and made its hide into large gloves fit for an Orc. The gloves retain some magical energies from the creature it originated from. If the outside of the gloves are touched fatigue will begin to build at a noticeable rate. The effect is powerful enough that it extends through held objects of reasonable size.
Unique3:
Kitten: A normal alley cat that has taken a liking to Jerrek while seemingly hating everything and everyone else. She has the inexplicable immunity to all Mana based spells and effect.
-To clarify, no magical spells or effects harm or alter Kitten in any way good or bad. This by no means extends beyond the cat itself.
The Kayagara Clan was once a powerful and well known tribe of Orcs that made their homes in the Albraz Cordilla mountain range to the south of the Trenlow Sound. Some time before the Day of Mana the Kayagara Clan had created a large city using a network of pre-existing natural tunnels as foundation. The Kayagara Clan continued to gain respect and numbers as smaller tribes were united under the Kayagara banner. A key to their success was the surprising amount of organization, planning, and trade that the Clan had. While raising strong warriors the Kayagara Clan seldom went to war with races other than Orcs and their doors were almost always open for trade. However citizens of the Kayagara Clan must be Orc or Half-Orc those without Orc blood were treated as inferior but recognized as intellectual creatures and possible allies.
After the Day of Mana everything in the mountains began to change. At first Kayagara stood with the other peoples of the mountain sending some of their finest warriors to aid their allies against these new threats. As the situation became more serious orders were given for all warriors to return to the Kayagara city. For the first time in a long time the Clan shut its doors to all outsiders and barred down in an attempt to wait out this chaos. In time they too were overrun, forced to use a secret passage that lead out towards the Trenlow Sound.
Wounded, hungry, and tired the couple hundred of remaining Kayagara clan members stood with their backs to their former home. A mere shadow of what they once were the Clan ventured forth into the world leaving the mountains behind. From there some members of the Clan slowly broke away as the Tribe looped around the Trenlow Sound on foot in search of a new home.
Finally, two hundred years after the day of mana, the remaining Kayagara clan had found a new home between the Ogdyn Sea and the Trenlow Sound. The waters were not dangerous like that of the Sound and the Clan did their best to forge new alliances in these lands. The Kayagara clan had survived hoping that one day they will reach their former glory.
Current number of Kayagara citizens: 148
