Chochuk's brutish appearance is akin to the ogre blood that runs through his veins. At over 7 feet tall he towers over most opponents and uses his size to intimidate them. He normally brandishs his great spear first until they get into close quarters and then brings out his sword for defense. His dirty gray chain hauberk is in sore need of repair but still provides the protection he needs. |
Since his youth, Chochuk has had a fascination with blades. The mere sight of a perfect edge sends chills of excitement down his back. When not working on his uncles farm, he would spend every free moment practicing with whatever bladed tool he could get his hands on. When he turned 19, he bought his first real sword, a misused short sword with more nicks than edges. After two more years on the farm, Chochuk decided to run away to the city. He apprenticed himself to a local blademaster in return for being a practice dummy for his master's gladiators. Chochuk didn't mind the bruises and cuts because it allowed him to train right with the other gladiators. As time when by, Chochuk mastered both the sword and spear and finally was able to enter the gladiator combats himself. His first match against a tiger met with disaster and was almost killed. The beast was enraged at the mere sight of him, as he later found out almost all animals were. Now, he only fights humanoid opponents. He is known for granting no mercy to those who damage his weapons during combat. He has been successful enough to pay his debts but still wants to make it to the big time. |
