> * Cloud * (PK) [BATTLE] Ioanis the Knight Hero, Veteran of Battle

>
> Thanks for all the fun. Not my first hero by a long shot, but my first rager hero. Learned lots.

> Battle: Love ya brothers. Minalcar, one mean sob, wish we could have interacted just a little more toward the end there. Gruntok, Arayln, Nicias, Altrael, Takashimi (sorry for kill ya at the omegus, got a great log of it though), Arlian, Mag, and all the others im missing, especially Baroman! My favorite crunch toy! Thror, always fun getting knocked out by ya, hope I lived up to your standards! BoltThrower, sorry to disapoint you. Love all ya guys, keep ragin.

> Master: Finally getting things together, in the end their, you were for the most part, non-existant throughout my life. Nirgal, I loved fighin ya, it could always go either way. The rest of ya, good luck.

> Arbiter: Better luck, I think things will be lookin up for ya guys.


> Desc and Role:

> Smallish facial features, seem somewhat out of place on a massive head.
> A nose and eyes, dwarfed and somewhat unfitting, sit on his face.
> Somewhat like those children of a lepper or insane orphanage, he stands
> before you with an undeveloped look of inexistance. Somewhat unbecoming
> a man of his size and stature. Immense shoulders and trunkesh arms, flail
> about with seemingly careless grace and grammer. No hair, only the darkened
> blue of the tempest sky, round his face and head. Blank and stupified, he stares
> back into your eyes.


> To parents, as all children are, Ioanis was born.
> his parents, however, were not as all parents. They
> were both the mages. They were both power hungry
> and sought to further thier personal power by choosing
> each other as mates. Normal enough, save they were
> siblings. Brother and sister. They thought if they mixed
> thier two bloods, powerful as they already were, they
> would give birth to an offspring who would unite thier
> powers, and be twice the magician they were.

> They were wrong. Instead, giving birth to a feeble minded
> fool. Worhty only for house chores, and field work. They
> revelled in his tourture. They would charge thier mage
> friends to come over and practice thier magic on him.
> Chained in the cellar, beaten, demeaned, and lost....

> While being beaten one day, in the fields, by the field
> master, a thin string in his mind snapped, and he flew
> into an uncontrolable rage. Using his clinched fist, he
> Cranialed the field master, crushing his skull into a dozen
> pieces. Freedom was his. He made his escape, and ended
> up tired, hungry, and exusted in the hands of a farmer
> and his family, who lived near his parents.

> This family nursed Ioanis back into health, and Ioanis lived
> with them for a time, helping them around the farm and slowly
> learning the ways of civilized peoples. One night, around a
> campfire, a traveller told tales of a great city, ruled by a fair
> Sultan. Ioanis had never been to the city. It's tales made him
> excited. Ioanis bid his farewells, and was off the following day.
> With a note from the traveller, which he could not read, Ioanis
> set to seek out the Warrior's Guildmaster in New Thalos.

> Too unruley for civilized training or any kind, the Guildmaster
> sent Ioanis to a wary colleague, Thrym. Not usually open to
> new students, Thrym reluctantly trained Ioanis, until he was
> able to return to the Guildmaster. Ioanis learned the ways of the
> warrior, but always kept in his heart, the lessions of the mages
> who bore him. In time, his fear tured to hate. In time his hate turned
> to rage.

> Ioanis new life must hold purpose. At times of lull, and respit he
> would often dream of what it would be like to be normal... like
> everyone else. His dwarfed features and oddly pronouced words
> often were a source of embarrasment for him. He was not so dumb
> as not to see he was stupid, and feebleminded, and it shamed him.
> Ioanis seeks to change this, though he'd not tell a soul about him
> inadequacies, for fear he'd look weak in his brothers eyes. Somewhere,
> someway, he knows he'll find a way to become normal, and lift his curse
> of inbred feebility.

> Clemmy, ala fta!
