Akozz Tor'kal
Appearance
Akozz Tor'kal, as the son of the Guardian, is a massive Orc among the species. Built broadly across his upper body, Akozz has numerous scars across his chest, which he takes to usually take to covering with a fur cloak, like much of the rest of his tribe. He has numerous tattoos across, depicting events in his life, and the history of his bloodline. Like his mother, he has large, pointed ears, similar to some elves. He keeps his hair tied back in a long braid down his back, and has feathers and bone beads woven into it at regular intervals. Unlike most other orcs, Akozz, and other Pure Red Orcs do not have considerable tusk, instead, they appear to be stunted and weak.
Skills and Abilities
Akozz is an accomplished warrior among his clan, having the strength and resilience of his father's lineage and the size and speed of his mothers. He is a masterful warrior when it comes to close-range combat, with a preference towards two large axes he carries on his back at all times. He is proficient with polearm weaponry, though he prefers not to use them if other options are available.
Akozz has a keen grasp of Orc military tactics, to the extent they exist at all. He is able to see a battlefield laid out before him and almost instinctually know the best locations to lay ambushes and traps, as well as when best to do a most unorcish thing, retreat.
Akozz has a minor understanding of Rune Magic, taught to him by his mother. In a pinch, he is able to use minor runes, focused mostly on enhancing his own strength or that of his weapons. Despite his rather strong connection with such magic runes, he sees it as a pointless endeavor to follow through within combat.

Personality
Akozz is a straight forward, blunt and uncompromising individual. When facing a problem, and the immediate solution is not to cut it in half with his trusted axes, Akozz will systematically tear down and analyze the situation at hand, finding the best solutions to the problem, though still preferring the original plan. When dealing with others, Akozz is direct with them, seeing little point in wasting time with carefully worded replies or pleasant lies, instead, he established his point and then refusing to move from it.
Despite his rather gruff demeanor to outsiders, Akozz is caring and protective of those he considers his family, or friends. When they are in danger, he throws himself to their defense with the same uncompromising mentality, putting himself in immense danger to ensure their safety. Those he considers his friends are generally held close, within punching range to be precise, and Akozz will do what he can to ensure they are taken care of in his home. Should something happen to those dearest to him, Akozz will no stop until they have been avenged, even if that means he must carry that grudge into the next realm.
When it comes to ranged combat, and those who use it, Akozz has a generally insulting set of responses for them. He sees ranged combat and weaponry as a waste of effort and an entirely unreliable form of combat at the best of times. Such things cannot be trusted to always hit their mark, even with the most experienced master using them. Ranged weaponry, to Akozz, puts the user and those around him at risk. Best to simply cut whatever the problem is up at close-range and be certain it goes down.
