Hark of Hakkamar

## Description

Hark of Hakkamar, is a lean but toned half-orc man who oft keeps to himself. Taking closer to his orc heritage Hark is tall and imposing with a skin of pale-green but lacking in tusks. His hair is in a small tuft atop his head that he keeps neatly groomed- any bigger and it's be a proper mohawk however- accompanied by a thick goatee beard. He speaks with a thick accent of some unknown southward land, akin to Wakka from Final Fantasy.

He can be intimidating in appearance to those who wouldn't know otherwise, he is usually calm in the presence of strangers but while with anyone even the smallest bit familiar he becomes very flamboyant and easily excitable. He will show open affection and accept it equally as so from those who have earned it. Though he is a proud half-orc and can be absolutely ferocious in combat if those he truly cares about are threatened, and as the quarter master the entire crew of the Arodenneia are under his watch.

## History

Hark is an islander, son of Hakkamar who was supposedly the last chieftan in a great lineage of orcish barbarian tribes that had been culled and assimilated by outside forces. As such he was always overly protected by a father who would do anything to keep his son out of harms way. This up bringing ultimately helped Hark grow into a stable and good-hearted individual but one that had a lust for adventure.

So at a young age he set out on his own to make a name for himself, along these travels he came upon the Arodenneia in a port and supposedly fell in love with the first mate of the ship Nate and made a declaration to the captain in secret that he would do anything to join the crew. Whatever agreement was made has been kept between the captain and Hark, and after a year or so of courting, the first mate and Hark began a life together.

During the second day of Islandfall, in a battle with corrupted naga, undead and deep-sea singers, Hark supposedly took a hit from a corrupted creature and saved Xantin's life, wounding himself and taking on a corrupted wound. This greatly distressed the entire crew, to the point where Nate inadvertently manifested a storm cloud above the Arodenneia while grieving. Through the efforts of Atara and Breaker-77, the captain and Nate were convinced to try a last ditch ritual to try and cure the blight of Sin on Hark. The ritual was a failure, according to the captain it was due to divine intervention, according to Nate he purposefully interrupted the ritual to prevent Atara from trying to sacrifice herself in it.

Xantin has stated that there was a plan to attempt to heal 'other aspects' of Hark before Sin fully corrupts him. The fate of Hark is thus far unknown.
