Constantine, a Grey Orc pilgrim monk of Ilmater
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 12:59 pm
First Name: Constantine
Last Name: unknown
Appearance:
Dressed in a simple tunic and cloak, this tall, relatively lean grey orc looks about as unassuming as an orc can. He carries no weapons. He walks with purpose, as if he knows where he is going.
Race: Grey Orc
Age: 20
Height 5'11"
Weight: 150 lbs
Eyes: Light blue, quite striking and un-orcish
Hair: Shaven head
Facial Hair Style: None
Personality Profile:
Constantine exudes an air of confidence without arrogance, as if he knows his place in the world and is content with his lot. He is slow to anger and will evaluate the words of others carefully before he speaks. He realises he is no wordsmith or poet! Tolerant and stoic, he will even thank others who do not instantly try to kill him when they meet him for the first time. Insults and taunts are met with the same calm reflection as praise or thanks. He will always try to help others in need, especially if they are suffering. He never gives up in such ventures if he has the means to continue. About the only group he has been trained to treat as enemies are followers of Loviatar.
General Health: What is a disease?
Deity: Ilmater
Initial Alignment: Lawful Good
Profession: Pilgrim monk, helping those in need
Base Class & Proposed Development:
Either pure monk, or monk --> cleric --> sacred fist. WIS-based. (Yes I know this sucks as a build but it fits his personality!)
Either way he will only fight unarmed and only when necessary
Habits/Hobbies:
As an ascetic monk, he appears to be almost obsessive in his mission leaving no time for trivialities. He drinks no alcohol and is vegetarian.
Languages: Common, Orcish (basic)
Weapon of Choice: Unarmed
Background:
Constantine was left for dead when he was just a small child of around 3 years old somewhere in the Dale Lands. No one knows who attacked him or left him there. The monks of Ilmater known as the Broken Ones found him and nursed him back to health. Right away, he expressed a surprising aptitude for their teachings and disciplines. The monks named him Constantine for his almost obsessive dedication to a cause or endeavour. He does not remember his orcish name.
Goals:
Once he came of age, the Broken Ones sent Constantine out as a missionary, to spread knowledge of Ilmater more through his actions than words (he will never be an inspiring orator). He comes to Baldur's Gate simply to seek out the oppressed, the weak and especially those suffering and in pain, to do whatever he can for them.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Inevitably, he is barred entry from certain places (e.g. The Friendly Arms). There is no chance he could 'talk anyone around' and so will have to try and change peoples prejudices by his actions over time.
