Personal history

A bit about the man they call... Testiclese
Real name is Mort Skimmer, born in a small fishing village. When he was five, he earned the name testiclese after jumping off of a deliously high cliff and nearly killing himself. The swimming instructor had dubbed him testiclese, man who lets his testicles do his thinking. It was meant as scorn, but young Testiclese was enamored with the name - it sounded like the name of heroes of legend!
 
Testiclese grew up learning to fish and sail, with a little general education thrown in (his parents were pretty middle class - fairly successful fishers). When he came of age (around 12) he started working on freighters to help his family earn a little extra money. While serving on the freighter, he heard about a temple near the university in the big coastal town. When he turned 16 he informed his parents he was questing to the major coastal town to find his destiny. His parents assumed he was going to the college and were glad to see their dear dunderhead finally embrace education.
 
When he arrived at the temple, he found practitioners of the God Broseiden. There, men & women sweated their sins for the holy gainz in the temple of iron. Young testiclese was amazed at the physical marvels that were these pracitioners, and he was an eager convert. His mentors told him the tale of Broseiden, who sailed the Seas of Swole on his quest for gainz. He landed at this beach, helping weak noobs to experience the marvel of muscle. Soon a great war was on, and Broseiden sailed the seas with his Swole Squad. His ship single handedly sunk the enemies ships over the course of the war. Tempus noticed his courage in battle, as well as his tight training regimen, and took him on the path to godhood.
 
[Note here: there is no God Broseiden. You see, what happened was there was a fraternity at the nearby college who got a little out of hand. As a prank, they built this gargantuan pyramid-shaped gym and called it the temple of iron, to the god Broseiden. What they didn't expect was the turnout of workout enthusiasts. Soon they had more people then they knew what to do with, so they sought help. A priest form the local temple of Tempus saw this as an opportunity. After an amusing chat between the priest and Tempus, Tempus adopted the name Broseiden and granted the devout followers of the gym with his extraordinary powers. He truly did appreciate the dedication of the atheletes and wanted to ensure that they were brought up with the belief of honorable battle].
 
Unfortunately, when you hustle for that muscle you don't actually get money. So, Testiclese kept working for the shipping company, adding in weightlifting to his normal ship routines. It was on one of these voyages that he came across Magrat, who insists on being called "Ebony Darkness Raven" (which he shortens to Ebbie). She was fun to argue with, and seemed to take it as a compliment when he said she was hot but creepy. She was fun to talk to, not least because of all of her stories of the horrors of the eldritch. While he wasn't able to convert her (even when he explained that you could get swole to feed the soul), he admired her dedication to Tempus. They started hanging out more after that.
 
When Testiclese turned 19, he was allowed to follow a calling at the temple. Testiclese knew he wanted to help others achieve the same level of success that he had, so he became a Cleric of Broseiden. His mission is to go out and protect the weak and help them be strong. To meet the challenges of the world no matter how many reps it takes. And to bring honor to every battlefield.

Education

Basic college - lots of philosophy and a bit about nature and non-magical medicines.

Employment

Spent a lot of time on ships. Currently does the occasional odd job, as well as living on donations to the temple of iron.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Finally benched 270 lbs! Also, the first war cleric to come out of the temple in over a decade. Precious few are granted a boon from Broseiden, fewer still have the wisdom and temperament to be granted the favour to go to war.

Failures & Embarrassments

Romantically, it was asking out his crush in class only to be rejected as a 'dumb jock' (despite being top in the class.)
 
In his job, it was the time that he failed to secure a sailor's safety line properly. It was early on, but the sailor had been knocked overboard. Testiclese managed to dive in and save the man, but at great personal cost - he was laid up for a week as he had torn muscle and inhaled a lot of seawater.

Personality

Motivation

People deserve to be good to themselves. To hell with lords and their 'laws' - everyone deserves to be happy and not be oppressed. When you worship at the temple of iron, you secure your place in the world.
