Ortha Quickdraw  Basic Information Race: Drykas Birthday & Age : born in the winter of 480 AV, which makes him 31 years old Gender: male Languages Language 1: Fluent: Pavi Language 2: Basic: Common Language 3: Poor: Fratava Physical Description Ortha is a quite tall man, even among the Drykas he stands tall. His skin is a little tanned, due to long days in the sun he spend hunting animals. The scar on the side of his face was gained during his first fight with a glassbeack, were the viscious animal kicked open his face. The wound needed to be sealed, thats were the burn marks come from. His eyes are brown, almost black. He has a funny beard, but it is quite useful in the winter months, when his chin needs to stay warm. A chin gets cold quick, you know. Character Concept Ortha is well trained in the arts of hunting and killing, which he tends to use very often to make a living. He travels Mizahar in search of people willing to pay a good ammount of Gold Mizas for a dead animal, protection, or the... dissapearance of an enemy. Ortha usually doesnt care. He does the job, claims the money, and leaves the scene again, never making friends, and the people he does speak to, he refers to as 'business relatives.' He doesnt have any goals any more. When he was younger, he always wanted to become the most repected warrior/hunter of the Chyprus plains, but with his banishment from the plains, he lost all hope for that goal. Now, he just makes money to live a 'normal' life, but never staying in the same place very long. Some places, like Sunberth, have been visited frequently, but not long enough to leave a mark. Character History The history of Ortha Quickdraw of the Diamond Clan is a sad one. Very sad indeed. He was raised, like every other Dryka, on the Sea of Grass, where he learned to ride, shoot a bow and wield a sword to some extend. At the age of 17, he killed his first glassbeack, earning respect from the orther clansmen and earning his Windmarks. The same year, he married the love of his life, Sara, and they lived happily ever after. If only that were so. One night, Ortha's good friend Inmak was guarding the group of pavillions were Ortha's family slept. Ortha himself was out hunting with a group of men, so Imnak was by himself. He had scared of a few packs of Glassbeacks already, it was a busy night. Then, disaster struck. A fair, young lady seduced him, and lured him into having some kind of intercourse. This mistake proved fatal. When Ortha returned, that entire part of the camp had been slaughtered, the pavilions breached, dead everywhere. Even Sara and the kids had been killed. In blind rage, Ortha impaled Imnak with his spear. This act wasnt taken lightly by the leaders. As a result, Ortha was banished for an idefinite time. The following day, he left the plains, probably never to return again. From that point foreward, he has been traveling all across Mizahar.
