Character(Razi)

## History

Razi was originally one of the children created to fight for some unknown tribe many years ago, he thankfully was considered a runt and too weak to fight their wars. As a result he was tossed into the unforgiving jungles to perish on his own, which he luckily did not. Thanks to his hardy troll heritage he was able to survive the initial onslaught of unfamiliar disease and all manor of predatory animals. Overtime he would toughen up and grow under the constant threats posed living alone in a jungle with no one to teach you how to survive, making it all the way to his twelfth year before finally making a near fatal mistake. One day when the young creature was consuming the corpse of a lizard hed managed to strangle, a lizardfolk hunter happened upon him. He sadly mistook the boy for a young troll and immediatly hurled his javelin at the hungry child, skewering his right shoulder and eliciting high pitched cries. While Razi screamed in agony and tried to limp away, the hunter realized his mistake and tried to calm the boy. It took a great deal of coaxing and a little bit of desperation on Razi's side, but he would eventually manage to lure him back to his hut for treatment. The old hunter was shocked when he realized the child didnt really even know how to talk or even what he was. By the time the old man had treated the boy fully, he had grown attatched to the relatively uncharismatic monster. He had decided to adopt the boy into his personal care, being unable to sire children of his own due to sterility. Young Razi would spend another six years with the old man being raised into at least a general understanding of his surroundings, seeing as he was a tad slow as was natural for his ilk. He maintained a good grasp of his natural surroundings at the very least, even if he knew very little of the society around him. But, there was one thing Razi could grasp on his own, and it was that he both loved and owed so much to his adopted father. Over time he would break off to become an adventurer in order to pay back his loving parent, and even one day bring him the grandchildren he had only ever dreamed of. Razi was determined to please the one person in his life who had shown him compassion.

## Appearance

Has stone-like gray skin with odd light brown swirls throughout his body. Long pointed ears just out from the top of his skull and hang back behind his head, while a heavy underbite dominates his facial features. His long trunk like arms end in long claw like fingers that have some issues with their manuel dexterity. His legs are digigrade and end in very large and dominating claws at the bottom of his feet, almost looking like a fused hoof in places. His stature is that of a hunched beast, making him look almost a foot shorter than his full standing height of eight feet tall. His long thick neck has a facinating orange hue upon the underside, perhaps hinting to his unnatural birth. He normally chooses to wear whatever fits the hulking man, usually rags of some kind hastily sewn together to make a sort of tunic with a hat.

## Personality

Razi has always been a strangely gentle sort when hes not angered, going out of his way to either bring gifts to those he thinks of as alurring or in need of friendship. Unfortunatly he is also prone to bouts of irrational rage, much like his troll forefathers. He is usually driven to these rages by grave insults to his father or to his unsightly appearance. Despite his propensity for violence, he is always yearning for acceptance and kindness from his fellow man even if he cant articulate it very well.

## Loves

Razi has always had a bit of a taste for raw meat thanks to his upbringing and race, especially when he was introduced to spices and herbs to baste his favorite meats in. Other than his constant appetite and love of meat dishes, he has developed a rather great attraction to things smaller and frailer than himself. Something about how he is forced to be more gentle with smaller races like kobolds, seems to elicite an almost doting response from the socially stunted man. He has also developed an appreciation for furred animals, at least the ones he dosent immediatly consume. Their fur is a rather different experience than the scaled hide of his father he usually embraces. One of his favorite activities is to take the bones of his kills and try to make interesting sculptures and jewelry out of them, often gifting them to whatever female or male currently holds his interest at the time.

## Fears

Possibly due to some long slumbering instinctual fear, Razi has developed a crippling fear of fire of all kinds. Even torches and camp fires are enough to at least put him ill at ease in any given situation. Although he is thankfully able to push through this fear should a greater danger be present, even if the fires still make him nervous. One of his greatest fears however is that of lonliness. His many years of isolation only to be taken in, has left him with a deep seated hatred of feeling alone and abandoned. Whenever possible the man will attempt to surround himself with other people, even if he spends most of his time too nervous to talk to them.

## Hobbies

His favorite past time has always been bonecarving, which has almost become a passion for the awkward half-troll. He is almost always carving away at some recent kill or dead animal he found on the side of the road. Although he is usually seen giving these trinkets away to elicit favorable responses from those around him, even if he sends the best ones off to his father.

## Family

Razi has no memory of his birth parents or even his country of origin, his only memory of family is that of his adopted father Skaa.

## Friends

Thanks to his monsterous appearance and inability to properly articulate his thoughts, he often has a great deal of trouble acquiring friends. occasionally he is able to temporarily gain the interest of another, but this is sadly fleeting as they bore of his lack of communication skills.

## Enemies

Razi tends to make more enemies than friends due to his quiet nature and propensity to become enraged from insults. He is disliked by almost every single tavern he has stepped foot in after a given amount of time has passed, and the town guard are constantly speaking with his father about his bouts of anger. He also is often targeted purely because of his racial heritage, as not many individuals are too keen on a half troll living amongst them.

## Aspirations

Razi's main dream is to one day repay his father for the years of teaching and warmth he provided him. He wishes to shower his father in wealth and trinkets in order to properly express the love he couldnt in words, as well as bring the sterile old man home grandchildren. To be honest many of his goals revolve around pleasing his loved ones, and finally gaining the acceptance from others he always craves so much.
