Summary

Name: Shoka
Race: Human
Gender: Male
College: Air Mage
Level: High
Played by: Jon McSpadden

Appearance

Shoka would appear to be a fairly average human (5'8" & 174 lbs) except that he has drunk a shriver Potion of Orc Essence and his left eye has been gouged out and replaced by an obsidian stone with rivulets of blood oozing around it, reducing his Physical Beauty to 10. On adventure Shoka normally wears heavy plate armour and carries a large two-handed sword especially made for him by the Granite Peak Dwarves.

Background

The 6th child of Impoverished Gentle Folk, Shoka (oddly) spent most of youth hanging out with Orcish farmers. His habit of brawling prepared him well for life as an adventurer. Recently Shoka has taken to hanging out at the Air College and has picked up a few spells.

Outlook

If he wasn't so fiercely loyal to his friends Shoka would be a total sociopath. He is intelligent and well spoken but has no social mores.
