Though he looks gruff, Porz is a considerate, mild-mannered warrior. He doesn't pick fights he doesn't think he can win. He stutters when he talks, so Porz is quiet most of the time. Not speaking means you listen very well, and Porz has learned to let others destroy themselves most of the time, turning their words back on themselves. His clan has a long-standing rivalry with another clan that uses a great black bird as its symbol, and Porz doesn't like being in the air, in the clutches of a bird, on board a ship, or any other way.
Porz is quiet but strong, and uses his talents as something of a law officer, keeping the most violent and dangerous of his fellows in check.

Notes
Old school roleplayers may remember orcs being portrayed as pig-men (think of the beginning of “Return Of The Jedi”) more than green-colored jocks, like they are now. Thus, Porky is an orc. I also gave him a police officer background because of his tiny role in the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” And he's a few years out of date since they don't make “Looney Toons” anymore, really.
I chose Porky today because... “that's all, folks!” I've been taking a fair number of breaks from the blog recently, and I'm not getting many more readers or comments than I did when I started last year. So I'm going to live up to the blog name and only post once a week at least for the time being (probably Fridays). If you want to see more, leave comments! I'd love to have conversations about what I'm putting up here. I hope it helps inspire you during your own role playing adventures.
Disagree with my stats? Have another character suggestion? Leave a comment! Thanks.
You’ll find rules for my Microlite 20 and Risus expansions, games of my own creation, and much more at my website.
