Knor Ti Knockarz

Backstory

North of everything you know lives a small community that encompasses Orcs and Humans both: brought together by necessity around 25 years before our adventure started, it's the hometown of Knor Ti. Nalluk is a settlement next to Lake Nilak. It came to be after the Southeners attacked both Human and Orc tribes that lived in that territory. They joined forces to send them back from where they came from: the skirmish didn't last long but strengthened the bond between the two races that found each other resourceful in their own ways. Of course this was not universally agreed upon, many orcs still believe humans to be on the same level as dogs (or cattle) but some have grown to respect their smaller but resourceful villagers. After all these are fierce Northern men we're speaking of, many of them felt the same way about the Orcs.

Despite this, Knor Ti was born into a relatively normal and loving family: her dad Tagiuk is a Caribou herder with his two sisters and in times of war a strong warrior. Her mother, Alikut, is part of the hunting party and is known to recklessly charge into action. She claimed Tagiuk as her husband during the war 25 years ago and as for his response, he shrugged and agreed. Their union was frowned upon but they didn't care much about it: in the end actions speak louder than anything up in the Northern wilderness so they quickly gained their respect back.

Knor Ti grew up learning the ways of the herders, hunting game and training to be a warrior with the children of the village. Pijannituk and Katsuk, her aunties, taught her an ancient Orcish herding call, called Kulning, which she still hasn’t mastered. Once a year she travelled with her family for miles to catch untamed Caribou to be introduced into their herd. She learned how to handle her warhammer from an Elder and how to properly throw a javelin from her mother. She went to the border one or two times with her half-orcs peers with the merchants but has always found the Southeners to be quite stiff. Most of the information she gathered of the civilised world was from her mother who claimed she came from a castle far far away, which she thought was unlikely.

“Agathe” is the name she claimed she had before running away to the Northern wilderness and while it was true that she joined the Human tribe when she was around Knor Ti’s age… She was also known to exaggerate, so even if she did come from the South it seemed unlikely that she came from a castle. One thing she found out from one of her aunties is that when she arrived she had her baby brother with her who died before she was even born.

While out with the hunting party her mother gets mysteriously separated from her. Knor Ti feels something is wrong and starts following her tracks. Getting increasingly worried as she finds signs of a fight, she discovers her mum surrounded by a small group of weird looking foreigners, all of them with their weapons drawn. They’re closing in on her like a pack of wolves on a fox: Alikut slashes out once more but it's stopped by a hooded figure who seems to simply raises a hand in front of her: Knor Ti starts giving the alarm as her mother gets knocked out by the person behind her but as she rushes in to help the hooded figure once again raises a hand and in a electric blue light the group gets warped away into nothingness. She's too late to do anything.

Nothing but blood, snow and charred trees remain of the fight, leaving Knor Ti with no clue as to where they brought her to. One of the hunters who got there shortly after Knor Ti hands her something she found on her way there. This might be the only possible lead: the bloody hand of one of the aggressors, on one of the fingers a ring with an unknown crest on it. No one at the settlement knows where the ring could come from. Tagiuk prohibits her to leave to go look for her mother but her auntie Katsuk secretly smuggles her to the Border to let her do what she has to do. Knowing near to nothing about the civilised world she has to embark on a quest to find her mother and bring her back to Nalluk.

Education and Employment

She has been """"""homeschooled""""" and trained by various people in the village and her family. She knows very little about the outside world and while she was curious of it, she had never thought of leaving Nalluk until her mother's abduction. Her aunties have taught her many things which are either not true, half truths, or have been said just to mess with her since she's quite gullible.
Knor Ti worked with her father as a caribou herder, and as a hunter with her mother. Her childhood was a serene one despite starting to work as early as she could walk.

Appearance

Knor Ti is very tall, and has strong, broad shoulders. she's muscular and fat, toned and seasoned from fights and the arid environment she has been living in since birth. her legs and arms could as well be made of rock, and she has another feature that can be easily Sherlocked from her name. To sum it up, SHE THICCCC!
Knor Ti has a round face and big gray eyes, which reflect her curiosity and tendency to being honest with her words. Her tusks are quite small but well kept, and she has long brown hair which she has up in a long braid. The sides of her head are, however, shaved, as her aunties had convinced her this was the most fashionable for ladies of Nalluk (it wasn't).
Her OG clothes were a simple brown hide armour, but lately, her paladin friend has made her a pretty and shiny breastplate just like the one he wears, but prettier. She also carries around a big two handed sword, a Warhammer and a shield.
Knor Ti specialises in combat, low rolls, dumb play on words ideas and confused convictions which generally spur from what her chaotic aunties have told her as she was growing up. Knor Ti intimidates adults and monsters but is loved by small creatures and children. Lobelia loves her and she's smitten with her as well.

Personality

Motivation

She wants to get her mum back and for everyone to get along. Whooping some evil fey ass sounds good, too.

Savvies and Ineptitudes

Knor Ti is strong and cool, but dumb as a cucumber. She's got a good heart and can be wise sometimes. rarely.

Likes and Dislikes

Knor Ti loves food, her friends, her family, nature and animals.
She dislikes those that harm for no reason, cities, and recently she's not very fond of water (not that she had like it much before).

Virtues and personality perks

loyalty (to family and friends) freedom, strength, compassion, practicality, honesty.

Vices and personality flaws

stubborn, emotional, thick, rough. And violent sometimes.

Personality quirks

She speaks her mind often, especially when she thinks there might be some loooooove between people. She's a bit of a romantic.

Hygiene

She's surprisingly hygienic when compared to the Nalluk standard... Which is very low. Water is not as spooky and scary when it's warm in a tub, so she enjoys washing up when there's the possibility to do so. She is, however, known for carrying around a finger between her boobs and various fishes with her so she usually doesn't smell very nice.

Social

Knor Ti Knockarz, daughter of Alikut and Tagiuk Knockarz, Firstborn, was born in Nalluk (meaning: Caribou track going down to a lake), in the Northern North, near Lake Nilak (meaning: Clear, fresh-water ice), which she still considers her home. Coming from an existence of caribou herding, her current adventurer lifestyle has actually given her more wealtht than she's ever had before.
Knor Ti is very sociable unless you harm or treat her or her friends with contempt and hate. she's quick to trust but has a good nose for recognising who's good and who's not. She can be gullible with people she trusts, but is usually more suspicious if she hasn't had enough time to assess the person she has met. To her being friendly means being touchy, so she'll often like smack her hand on someone's shoulder, more likely than not also not gauging how much damage she could potentially do to that someone. She also loves hugs and carrying around the smols of the squad. She speaks normally, though sometimes she gets confused and ends up using the closest thing to the word she was taught (hence the Sphere and Big Chungus incidents)

Religious views

Originally, Knor Ti knew next to nothing about Gods and Religion. She was introduced to it by the devout paladin Vyth, though she was a bit iffy about the whole thing.
She did somewhat worship a pagan god, or rather, her villages gives their thanks to what they call the Great Caribou, who supposedly is a giant Caribou that roams the Northern North and whose horns tickle the stars.
