Penelope the Affirmation of Life, Slave to Thrakburzug

Role

Chapter 5

The first two chapters of this role were added and saved. Somehow they ended
up deleted. I believe "Character premise" was before my first pray to Thrak.
second was right after PK'ing Pennia with Gulgada.

Role

Chapter 1

Thrak was happy with the poem but not happy with the painting. I couldn't
find a bard to commission a new one so I made it myself and sent it to
Thrakburzug provately. He tasked me with picking out an up and coming orc
and turning him into a great chief. Choices were limited - I chose Vrugdash.
He's good, but he's no Kubilak. We have a semblance of a horde, but I never
seem to see more than two of my top orcs around at any given time. The only
people I've been able to group with consistently have been Scion.

The character feels like it is losing direction. I don't want to be known as
"Scion healer bitch" but my options are pretty limited right now. I don't
want this character to devolve into deletion, but I'm not sure what to do.

Role

Chapter 2

The character has done the bidding of the Orc God. The first elf proved
difficult to slay and Pen needed to use all her cunning in setting the trap.
Since then, however, she has slain at least a half dozen more easily.
Additionally, she has gotten two bards to spread His greatness throughout
Thera. It was as she promised during their last talk outside the orc
village.

She has steadily grown in power. After Kubilak's death, Penelope helped
Ukthar become chieftan in exchange for being promoted above all other mortal
orcs save Ukthar. Whether Ukthar will honor this agreement, Pen does not
know. She does know that her word holds only as long as it takes a better
offer to come her way. Perhaps Fycul....?

Some changes to the character's attitudes. Although still wholly in awe of
Thrakburzug's power, she no longer panders to the other orcs. The days of
whining and grovelling are over. Even the new chief, Ukthar, is treated more
as an equal than as a superior.She has alliances of mutual benefit with a
smattering of non-orcs, namely a few anti-paladins. Penelope recognizes
their unlimited potential - for small favors now, she expects to reap great
rewards in the future.

Role

Chapter 3

The character has received two directions, one from Thrakburzug and one from
Kubilak, the Chief. Thrak has demanded she kill an elf, and Kubilak wants
her to grow quickly. The demands of the orc God come first, but she has
grown to her limits in order to make it possible. Every elf she has
encountered has run away in fright. Until today.

The wood elf ranger was swift and silent, but unprepared for what was to
come. Arriving through a gate, Penelope revealed the ranger's presence in
Thrakburzug's holy light. A chase ensued that lasted days. The ranger
attempted to flee and hide numerous times, but Penelope tracked her filthy
scent like a dog. The ranger called her a dumb orc lover but the words only
served to enrage the priestess.At last Penelope caught up with her prey in
the vast forests of the wood elves. Realizing that brute force would not
ensure the kill, she cunningly set a trap for the ranger.

An orc of the Grinning Skulls, Gulgada was nearby. Penelope ordered the orc
to wait in the pass of Gol-Galath just out of sight, all the while fighting
with the elf. Feigning weakness, the priestess ran to the pass, luring the
witless elf to her inevitable doom. Once in the pass, the trap was sprung!
Gulgada sent the elf flying into the canyon wall with a mighty bash, and
Penelope drove the spike of her boot into the the ranger's side. Carefully,
Gulgada drained the blood from the corpse. He thought to drink it, but
Penelope slapped it away from his mouth. The thirst of the Orc God is mighty
indeed, and this prize was His.

Role

Chapter 4

Disgusting, hideous, revolting.Three very appropriate adjectives for this
character. She was born along with her twin sister to a wealthey family of
Galadon socialites. They were fraternal twins: her sister was beautiful, she
was not. Ostracized from her family at a young age, she wandered the lands
learning to live like an animal. An orc hunter found her in the woods one
day, digging into a tree for some grubs. Orcish instinct is to kill first
and grunt later, but watching this animal woman amused him. He decided to
keep her as a pet. Seeing her salvation, she payed homage to the orc God,
worshipping him in her own way.

The character is basically going to be a bitch to those more powerful than
her and dominant over those she supercedes in strength. She is loyal to the
clan so long as it suits her needs. She would never openly go against any of
the higher level orcs so as not to draw ire from the rest. On the surface,
she is loyal to the chief above all else, but her services can be bought by a
potential usurper of the throne.

Her interactions with others will be limited since she primarily speaks in
grunts and squeals. She will always choose to travel with orcs before any
others. She has a natural hatred for elves and dwarves. The hatred extends
to humans for exiling her. The remaining races are treated with distrust -
at least with orcs, you know where you stand: big eats small.
