Darosh, Jamouran traveler

[Darosh]

Darosh

■ Physical Information ■ Jamorran, 7 feet, 10 inches, 585pounds

■ Birthday & Age ■ 169 (born Spring of 343 AV)

■ Gender ■ Male

■ Physical Description ■ Darosh is a large ape that walks about on his hind legs. Beyond that, most people would not recognize anything else. Standing at nearly eight feet, Darosh towers above the average human. He is nearly as wide as a human is tall! At four feet at the shoulder, and slightly less at the hip, the powerful, ape-like creature is an imposing sight. His bright blue eyes, an odd coloring amongst the usualyl dark eyed Jamorrans, stand out in his dark brown fur. His ears are pointed as well, an equally rare feature amongst his people, with no known explanation or effect on his hearing.

He is covered from head to toe not only in fur, but in muscle. The only place not covered by fur is the leathery flesh on his chest and face, pulled snug over his powerful abdomen and massive pectoral muscles. Angry Jamouran's have been known to life giant boulders and hurl them fifty yards, and, looking at arms as big around as a small cow, the tales do not seem so far-fetched.

Darosh also wears two wooden arm guards. This wood, carved from the heart of a tree felled in a storm, can turn away blades, suffering only the slightest of scratches. These were given to him when he finished his martial training at the age of 160. They are made of smooth wood, chipped in a few places, but no cracks or serious damage has been done to them yet.

He also wears, to preserve the modesty of people he may visit, a pair of thick, grey shorts that fit loosely about his wide, powerful legs.

■ Character Concept ■ Curious and intelligent, Darosh is as most Jamouran are: A knowledge seeker

■ Ethics - living in the jungle for nearly two hundred years, where survival is not always easy, he watched a jungle puma drown in a stream, for the creature was too weak to swim out after falling from a tree. "And the circle continues..." he will say, then he will turn and leave. His people are preservers of nature and the natural order, and because of this, Darosh has a certain aloof view of natural incidents. He will, however, stand tall against any foe who threatens that balance, any enemy who may harm the world for personal gain not grounded in the need to survive.

■ Likes - Being in nature, swimming, climbing trees, reading, discovering new things.

His favorite studies involve understanding the minds and innermost workings of the other races, and finding parallels between the many different sentient creatures of this world. He also, despite his people's peaceful nature, enjoys learning new combat techniques, be they with a weapon or in unarmed combat. He also finds the study of "Flux" to be incredibly interesting, and wishes to locate a school where he can train. The meditative techniques and understanding of one's own body seems remarkably similar, and he would like to explore whether or not learning of the flux could help Jamouran's better recall their past lives.

■ Dislikes - disrespect to nature, any who disrepect the pursuit of knowledge and those who pursue it, violence

■ Character History ■ Darosh family unit are fighters and hunters. They are as peaceful and gentle as the rest of their race, but have mastered martial arts styles where other family units study gardening or mathematics. And so Darosh was trained in unarmed combat. He was taught to fend off warriors of all sizes and shapes using only his hands and his feet, and the wooden bracers his people use to turn swords and other weapons.

He would often hunt with his brother's and sister's, and learned how to fend for himself out in the wild, a valuable skill in these dangerous lands. When he finished his training and reached adulthood and after the Alpha decided that the Hahk'Magthar wanted him, he was sent off to gather knowledge in any way he can...
