Hello again, finally managed to fix the card up how I wanted it, so I figured I'd go ahead and throw it up here, hope you all like him!
Also this is a form of the card Hlif mentioned, if you feel that you might be interested in the format. It's definitely my favorite cc set up that I've used since joining.
Kaenach
Orsimer Male
18th of Rain's Hand
The Reach
The Mage Sign
PERSONAL DETAILS:
Alias: To his former mentor, or to those he calls friend, he is known simply as Kaen.
Apparent age: The mage, despite the lines left by an intense concentration and copious amounts of stress, is only in his mid-twenties.
Sexuality: The orc does not show signs of romantic interest toward either sex in his interactions, nor in his inflections or body language. Whether he actually feels any of these things is his business alone, and is strictly on a need to know basis, as far as he is concerned.
Marital status: Kaenach does not have a partner, though he is far too engrossed in his studies to much care for such a connection. While he feels it could happen at some point, he is not out looking. Time will bring what it will. Best to focus on what's important now.
Occupation: Kaenach has no set occupation, content with drifting from place to place, seeking out arcane knowledge where possible. While not an occupation his desire to become the foremost expert in the school of destruction magic has become a goal which he can aspire to and work toward, and that’s good enough for him.
Residence: Other than the cabin that he grew up in alongside his father, Kaen has no property under his own name. Though this is no cause for concern, as settling down in one place was never nor will ever be Kaen's intention.
Family: The orc's mother unfortunately had passed due to complications during his birth. His father however, is still alive, though keeps to himself in his secluded location away from prying eyes. This is the only family he has ever known, and is thankful that they remain on good terms.
Affiliations: He has connections to both the stronghold of Mor Khazgur, the home of his now deceased mother, and the College of Winterhold. While he remains in good standing with the college despite leaving to take private tutelage from Arilwyn, his standing with the land of his mother has suffers, as they care little for his existence, and see him as a disgrace.
Political Views: The thought of one butchering his brother for faceless kings and emperors that care not for he or his kin is baffling to the orc. The Civil War is naught but a distraction from the obvious threat. He does not understand why anyone could not see that unity is the only answer in times like these. Common sense, says he.
Religion: Kaen has witnessed his father speak of the old gods of his people, and has studied upon them, as well as Malacath, the patron god of his mother and her ancestors, Kaen himself does not share in their revelry. However, he does partake of a certain gift bestowed to him by his father, his one connection to the religion of the Forsworn, or perhaps more to the hagravens they seem to revere. Hircine.
Affliction/Disease/Ailments: Lycanthropy
Physiology: While not the hulking individual that one would expect the average orc to be, Kaenach is no slouch. The predictable bulk and muscle have been replaced with a leaner figure, strong yet lacking the power that one of a stouter character from his people. The muscles that do cross his figure show a well worked and honed physique, as the orc never could sit still long enough to allow himself to grow heavyset from inactivity or intense study. Each limb is a fine tooled extension of a healthy orsimer, leaving him a fine specimen despite not following the expected path of one of his race.
As the focus shifts to his face however, one cannot mistake his heritage. Deep set lines brought about by both genetics and study have given a permanent scowl to the face of the orc, no matter his temperament, supported by a furrowed brow that puts forth an aggressive demeanor that he may or may not possess. The tusks set in his jaw alongside his well-kept teeth are smaller than one may have seen before, but are still not unnoticeable, a private annoyance that Kaen feels as he looks upon himself in any reflective surface. Leaving the powerful jaw, we move further up to the top of his head, his hair swept into a mixture of styles that seem to indicate a homage to both heritages of his birth. A thick mohawk splits the scalp down the center as it flows down loosely toward the back, leaving the hair on the sides to be bound into unexpectedly neat rows, each letting off into a beaded or otherwise decorated braid that swing loosely around his neck. His brows lack any sort of tusk or horn like additions, but he has taken it upon himself to not leave them bare, letting a piercing in the form of a torc take the place above his right eye, along with two similar torcs in his right ear, one of which carrying what could be a beast's tusk, were one to be capable of getting close enough to investigate. All of these features frame a set of flaxen eyes, always accompanied with a determined squint as he silently observes every detail, every movement, quietly anticipating every action by those around him, as well as himself.
Voice: Husky, Gravelly
PERSONALITY: Kaen is quite unlike his orsimer brethren. Ever a conundrum Kaenach plays the part of a hermit mage, focusing solely on his work and study and leaving little to no time spent jawing with the local populace. He lacks any sort of speechcraft talent, leaving him rather blunt and straightforward when others ask things of him or ask for his thoughts or opinions, leaving no room for tact or weaving of illusions for the sake of saving face. This causes him to get into trouble or get off on the wrong foot with people quite often, more often than not putting his foot in his mouth at the worst of times. Because of this he remains reclusive when possible, finding solace and peace in his solitude. However, there is an admittedly darker side to Kaen that few have often invoked, seeming to be the collection of a great rage carried by both sides of his ancestry along with the bloodlust from his gift. There are times, small moments in which Kaen can become overwhelmed to the point of outrage, thrashing about wildly with reckless abandon that he may or may not be capable of controlling. This has caused him to be responsible for the death of more than one person, leading to a heavy fine in Markarth proper, as well as his desire to further cut himself off from the rest.
Positive Traits:
Attentive, Honest, Observant, has at times been helpful to the point of going out of his way for others, but these flashes are few and far between. Passionate about what he loves.
Negative Traits:
Aggressive, Reckless, Blunt, can become Violent at random times depending on where his mind takes him. Clumsy, Bitter.
Likes:
Arcane knowledge, ancient ruins of any sort, reading, may or may not like setting things on fire.
Dislikes:
Judgmental people, Mockery of his practice or race, those who would dismiss him before proving himself.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Combat Stats/Details: When it comes to combat, or rather the application of his lessons, the orc thrives when it comes to magic, having honed his destruction knowledge down the path of the flame. Alongside this desire to set his enemies ablaze he also is capable of using alteration spells to manipulate objects or protect himself due to his lack of steel or hide to do so, as well as some variances of healing with restoration and alchemy. When low on magicka he has been known to resort to more mundane approach, relying on his fists to fight back the foes that managed to avoid incineration, if not an occasional poisoned dagger.
Class: Mage
Subclass: Pyromancer
Major Skills:
Destruction
Alteration
Restoration
Hand to Hand
Other Note-worthy Skills:
Alchemy
Enchanting
Tailoring
Weapons: This orc carries no weapons for the purpose of combat, as he feels they are more cumbersome than they are useful, however, he does carry a pair of daggers hidden on his person, each ready to be laced with a poison to drop his foes should his magicka reserves fall short.
Gear: When it comes to attire the orc does not partake of any armored materials, instead cloaking his form in a mixture of cloth and furs, layered meticulously by his own hand to keep himself warm and protected in the bitter cold of the province of Skyrim. He also more often than not carries a fur lined cloak as well, hooded to protect his face from the glare of the sun, bite of the breeze or the eyes of the curious.
Laterality: Left handed
History: I tend to leave these blank, as I like to expose his story over time as I develop him, if that is not appropriate for your standards then I shall provide his story, while keeping some details to myself for the sake of keeping him interesting.
