Appearance

Rune, half-orc, towers over most humans. Her earthy-toned skin, a blend of light green and tanned brown, is marked with shifting, swirling tribal tattoos. Raven-black, spiked hair frames piercing green eyes flecked with gold. She favors practical, muted earth tones—browns, greens, grays—and wears a simple leather cord in her hair and a wooden fist pendant. Scars crisscross her arms and legs.

Personality

Beneath Rune's fierce exterior lies a compassionate heart. Her chaotic good alignment drives her to defend the vulnerable and protect individual liberty. Just and pragmatic, she values freedom but understands community, readily sacrificing herself for those she considers her own. Though fiercely independent and often solitary, she's no hermit. Her connections are deep, her loyalty fierce. A woman of few words, her actions speak volumes, punctuated by a dry wit.

Background

Rune's childhood, split between a quiet farming village and the nearby city, instilled in her a love of both rustic simplicity and the lure of the wider world. Drawn to tales of wandering monks, she left her village as an adult to join their ranks. Rigorous training revealed her hidden resilience, and she earned the name "Runes" for her network of scars, each marking a lesson learned. Now, she wanders the world seeking enlightenment and championing the oppressed.
