Avarice

## VCW

Avarice est né de VCW un orcish↵ mère et d’un père orcish. Son père, Boghat était un chef du village, mais être le chef est venu à un prix élevé pour lui. Il a été approché par un ↵ avec une offre. Le diable a promis de donner des richesses et du pouvoir à toute sa famille avec la prise étant que le fils aîné ne serait pas un orc, mais plutôt appartenir au diable et serait marqué comme un paria. Ce n’est pas un choix difficile. Les bébés meurent tout le temps dans les villages orques, alors renoncer à un autre↵ échange de pouvoir et d’argent n’est pas un problème. Boghat d’accord et donc Avarice

was born.

   Immediately upon birth he was

removed from the tribe and left in the forest for the wolves. Boghat considered
that a mercy. The child would be killed and eaten, but at least Boghat did not
have to watch. Avarice was left out there for 2-3 days before he was found by a dwarf by the name of Immamu. He was part of a traveling caravan of entertainment. They had dancers, jugglers, singers, sword swallows and of
course the main attraction were the arena fights. Avarice was raised and
groomed to be an announcer to the events. His devilish appearance helped give
him an air of mystery and helped him have a hellish persona. After all who
could trust a devil. It was then that he chose the name Avarice. He learned
that word meant a love of money and it sounded nice.

Immamu spotted that he had a gift
with talking, but Avarice wanted to do more with the events. He eventually learned how to causally juggle, some dance moves, and most importantly how to find a mark and exploit them for what they are worth. None of this pleased Avarice. Avarice worked hard to attempt to get stronger to fight in the arena, but due to him nearly starving to death as a child his muscles would never develop the same as
a regular orc’s would. Immamu saw him try to train and was heartbroken. So, on Avarice’s 16th birthday he was gifted a special magical item, Gauntlets of Ogre power. With this item he was able to surpass the other fighters when it came to strength.

Even with the gauntlets Avarice was not able to fully compete in the arena yet. He had strength to give a punch but
did not have the ability to take one. Immamu hired a trainer to personally help Avarice gain endurance and learn combat skills. With the gauntlets Avarice was quickly learning how to fight with his fists. After a couple of years Avarice received the good news. He was finally going to have his first fight. The opponent had not been decided yet, but Avarice didn’t care. By the end of the week he would be in his first fight. Immamu was less excited. He has raised
Avarice since he was a newborn. He was a son to Immamu at this point. Immamu
could not watch his son get seriously injured not to even mention that he could die in the arena. So Immamu did what he though would be best to guarantee Avarice’s Safety. Immamu laced up his boots and went to fight Avarice.

Avarice in the meantime was busy getting ready for his first match. He went and had some pants made and bought a
matching mask. He chose black and red to give himself an evil feeling. The mask
he bought forced his horns to pinch on his face causing them to look more like
tusks. He like the look and decided to use that to help him come up with a wrestling persona.

He chose the name Tanarukk after what he read in his books and heard in stories. The Tanarukk was a monster that
was stronger than any other orcs. People trembled in fear when they heard the Tanarukk’s name. That’s exactly the image he wanted to inspire in people.

He got dressed and laced up his
boots for the first time. He went from the inn he was staying at to the arena
and prepared for his first match. He went out to the arena and faced his opponent. It was only then that he realized who he was fighting. It was Immamu. Avarice hesitated upon seeing him. Immamu was always like a father to him.
Immamu struck Avarice first. This managed to wake up Avarice and have him focus
on winning. This was his first bout dammit and he was not going to lose his
first fight. Avarice grabbed Immamu by the waist as he thrusted his hips out
and arched his back. Something happened when he suplexed Immamu. He lost his
grip. Immamu fell and landed on his neck. Avarice didn’t mean to do this, but
that didn’t change the result. The crowd became silent as Immamu lay on the
ground. He wasn’t moving. Avarice ran over to Immamu to see what he has
done.  Immamu wasn’t moving. Avarice called for the Medics. Immamu whispered to Avarice to finish the job. They both
knew the life Immamu would have for the rest of his life. Immamu would rather go in the arena than go out paralyzed in a bed just waiting for death. With a
tear in his eye Avarice put his hands on his neck and pushed. By the time the
medics were on site Immamu was gone and so was a piece of Avarice.

### Tanarukk Rising

Avarice left that night from the
arena. He ran away from the town and headed back to the area that Immamu first found him. Avarice couldn’t quit thinking of what a fool he was. How he should’ve clasped his hands tighter. He couldn’t shake Immamu’s eyes from his brain. He was a monster for what he did. Avarice didn’t sleep that night. He kept replaying that same scene over and over. Thinking about every mistake he
made. Maybe he was the monster he was pretending to be. Avarice resigned himself to live his life in solitude in the forest, but that didn’t last long.

Avarice attempted to find food in the forest, but due to him being well provided for and well taken care of by Immamu he never knew how to hunt or search for food on his own. Avarice
eventually decided to attempt to break in to a nice house during the day. Avarice figured if they had a nice house, they probably worked at a well-paying job and were able to spare a few parcels of food. He snuck into the rear door
and made his way to the kitchen. How was he to know that the wife tended to stay at home. He heard screaming coming from behind him. He turned and faced
the woman who was yelling at him. All he wanted in that moment was to stop the yelling. Not just from her, but the yelling inside his head as well. So, he grabbed her by the throat and started pushing. This one was a little harder than Immamu, but after a while she went limp. Avarice took what food he could
and ran off to the Forest. Unfortunately, a guard overheard the screaming and ran right into Avarice.

Avarice was found guilty of Murder and stealing. He was convicted to spend the rest of his life in Black Beach
prison. Many people call that prison Hell on earth. Anyone who has spent time
there would tend to agree. Avarice was put in solitary isolation for nearly 23 hours a day. He was fed 3 times a week and when the guards felt like letting him out it was mainly so that they could have fights with other inmates. Avarice was trained to fight but was weak without his gloves. He lost many fights and was close to deaths door more times then he’d care to count. Eventually after 12 long years in there he was granted extended social
privileges. By this time the old Avarice was long gone. Lost somewhere in the isolation. This Avarice only wanted one thing; to survive. He used his charisma
and his Wits he gained from the Travelers to worm his way up the prison hierarchy. Avarice made friends easily and would just as easily kill them if they didn’t
suit his needs.

One-night Avarice spoke to another inmate named Rae who was planning an escape and wanted his help to cause a
distraction. Avarice agreed, but only if he could get his gear that he had
before leaving. He got his mask and gloves back on. He then proceeded to take out the years of abuse and torture he endured on the guards. It was in that
moment of revenge that he truly became Tanarukk

### Finding the VCW and moving to Flouna

After the incident at the prison
Avarice knew that he had to leave the mainland but lacked the funds to procure
a ride on the ship. Avarice went looking for an honest job to do, but the Arena
was calling his name. He eventually went broke down and went back to his true
home now a changed man. He was more brutal and violent in the ring due to his
years of imprisonment. After a few fights he was able to buy his way aboard a
trading vessel, but that wasn’t enough for him. He started to like the violence
of the arena and the uncertainty of death that comes with combat. He kept
fighting and saving up money until he was able to purchase a skeleton crew and
a few magic items to start up what he labeled the VCW. He took his crew and sailed to Flouna to hopefully find riches and establish himself.

## Relationships

### Baqir

Avarice trusts Baqir, but He
knows that Baqir wont cross certain lines that Avarice will. Baqir is not a
good person, but he was just fortunate enough to not have to be a bad person.

### Katavasi

Katavasi perplexes and
slightly aggravates Avarice. She knows he is trying to aggravate her, yet she just
allows it to happen.  Is she scared of
Avarice or is she keeping her cards close to her chest? He needs to see her
rage before making that judgement

### Phoenix

Not much thought is given
to Phoenix, he is little more than just a tool to Avarice. If he ever becomes
too big of a headache Avarice will make sure to take care of that problem

### Alto

Alto acts like he already understands Avarice. This is a dangerous assumption to make. Still it would be advantageous to have someone of that size following him. From what he heard, Warforged are quite good at following orders.

### Zinli

Zinli is a very powerful
asset. Zinli is a very powerful liability. Which one She will be is dependent
on her current mood.

### Silvius

Avarice doesn’t often
think of getting punished for the stuff he has done, but Every time Sylvuis
opens his mouth he feels like the gods have cursed him for his ways. He wants
to kill him but acknowledges that Sylvuis probably expects him to try that so
other methods must be used.
