Name- Tyranic Marta

Race- Human - Abrantian

Class- Knight

Place of Birth- Abrantias A place hidden by a mountain range at the far north of the world; The Knights of Abrantias travel far and wide seeking to aid the men and women of the world and save them, or help them save themselves, against the darkness of the deathlands; The source of Necromancy.

Life Story- Tyranic Like all Abrantians began life simply, but like all Abrantians was born into a household of Honour and trust. And so he grew up in comfort, not harshness, he was training himself to become the best there is. He befriended a young traveler by the name of Ludias and the pair of them fought one another when they sparred, trained one with another and encouraged the other to reach the pinnacle of his abilities. Soon they were hunting in the mountains killing goblins, Orks, Trolls, anything that stood in their way. Ludias was the son of a trader, who abandoned Ludias into the care of Tyranic's parents. So the pair grew up as brothers but Ludias was never privy to the same rights as a Blooded Abrantian. This didn’t bother him in the slightest because of the trust that they all showed him. It had nothing to do with them not liking him. It was simply old magic that couldn’t be broken. Ludias accepted this and began to live in the mountains when he was older. It was here that Tyranic would often go to train and soon he hardly came back. The Abrantians saw the benefits of Allowing Tyranic to train high up in the mountains. It would inure him to the hardships of the world. And so when he killed his first Ork, high up in the Gaia's ring mountains he had no one around him but his Friend. And so they bonded more closely with every passing victory. Thus when Tyranic's 18th Birthday rolled around and he was a perfect specimen of what an Abrantian should be, he was more than ready, because of the companionship of Ludias. He was Strong, Brave and more to the point, ready to step out into the harshness beyond the mountains. He and his Surrogate Brother were given Armour, true weapons and Horses. They trekked out of the mountains for many months. They knew them better than anyone but even for them the journey was difficult. This was a test of the Abrantians; anyone who was not able to beat the elements should not try to beat death. Eventually they reached the foothills around the mountains and waiting for them was a city. The City of the Free trade Abrantians, here warriors would come to learn about what the Abrantian goal was; to protect Uriah from the evils of the Deathlands. The source of Necromantic magic. Tyranic trained Long and Hard in the banishment of Undead and even in the fighting of Daemons. Soon he was a formidable warrior, his light plate armour was covered in runes detailing his life and his knight’s helm had a lateral crest, sweeping from one ear to the other over the top of his skull. The Crest was made of Steel and was etched with a single rune; that of the Destroyer; An Ancient Deity who Tyranic had dedicated his Martial life to, the Destruction of all that stood in the way of the light.

At his 30th yeah Tyranic and Ludias were more than ready to leave the City of Free trade Abrantians; Known as Mountains edge. While Tyranic had been training for his role as a Knight, Ludias had taken on a slightly different profession, that of a mercenary. He had trained himself in the use of the heaviest of armors and in the use of great Maces and crossbows. He was a force to be reckoned with wielding his now trademark twin Spire Maces. Ludias had however become darker than his friend. His soul slowly being corrupted by the darkness that only Abrantians could resist this close to the roof of the world. Tyranic knew this and soon he was forced to perform and Exorcism on Ludias's soul. It lasted years, the two of them locked in a silent battle of wills. Their fire had died out long ago and their horses Fled. The two were sustained not by food but by the energy of the other. Ludias knew that he had to be purged and he willingly accepted the Exorcism. The two became a pilgrimage for the holy knights of the Abrantian Order, the ultimate act of penance to find these two warriors amidst the cold wastes of the world.

In Tyranics 45th Year he appeared back in the circle of Knights sweeping Uriah helping the innocent. Many asked him where his friend was but he would not answer.

Appearance/Attitude/Mood/Mannerisms: Tyranic has pure white hair, the genetic fallout from living in the place that sees the most snowfall in Uriah, his ancestors long ago having evolved the coloration for stealth in the snowy wastes. His ice blue eyes and pale skin make him look almost wraithlike but his heart is as pure as mountain water. He is a quiet man who speaks with a soft tone of voice and only when he feels the need to speak his mind on matters that require his attention. He is a natural leader this coming from his upbringing and dislikes taking orders from others not his superior in his Order.

He has a powerful Physique this being required to wear the plate armour that he now bears. This armour is ornate while still practical, a throwback to the Times when Abrantians were more aristocrat than warrior. His armour has been designed with the specific purpose of resisting the attacks that undead seem to favor, heavy armour piercing blows. Thus his armour is actually two layers of Starlight Steel. That link together and are very difficult to pierce. The runes adorning his armour are purely decorative but indeed make him an intimidating foe. His Helm adds to this effect with the crest adorning it and the faceless visage that it is. Many will run in fear before attacking the Massive knight. Additionally he wears a floor length flowing cloak made from the furs of white Arctic bears.

His Bastard sword is about 4 1/2 feet long with a long handle and an ornate cross guard shaped like the wings of a mountain Eagle. That arch up towards the blade. His Gothic Shield is a strong triangle adorned with yet more runes, but these are of warding against magic and necromancy. His body itself is scarred with runes and engravings etched by the priests and clerics of his order and it can resist more magic than an ordinary human should be able to.

His horse named Purity is a 17 and a half hands white mare who Marta picked up from his old home and has spent some time treking around the wilds on her barded back. The Abrantian thorough bred is a powerful warhorse that Marta has spent great wealth on armouring with white blate Barding. The horse is Extremely loyal to Tyranic and will carry him through any danger after he trained her on the outskirts of the deathlands.

Equipment- Bastard sword, Gothic Shield, Plate Armour, and Purity

cool charachter, incredible, even.


so shroud? just wondering if Yeenoghu (God of Gnolls) is going up there with the other gods. If not, I will use another deity to worship.

hmm i haven't really thought of the god system at all since you bring it up i may add but im not quite sure yet

The Uriah RPG is an interactive role-playing experience set in my homebrew Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting. The game uses my patented 'Pick a Number' system, which allows for more freedom than the A or B system.
CHARACTER CREATION
When making a character for the Uriah RPG, you must choose from the list of races, as well as a class from the class list. You start the game at 1st level, and at the apex of your career, you will reach level 100. Each new level earns you new abilities and skills. Okay, on to the race list.
RACES:
HUMAN RACES
Humans- Humans are the most populous of the intelligent races on Uriah, and are spread about across many kingdoms. The best and the worst are among them, from the gallant Knights of the Silver Circle, to the barbaric Krathites north of the Dragon's Teeth.
Johterim- The powerful warriors of Veska are dour and stout, they charge into battle with axe and shield in hand, eager to deal death to their enemies. Johterim distrust magic, save that of their shamans that harness the primal power of their totem animals.

ELF RACES
High Elves- The haughty High Elves are the most numerous of the elfish races, traveling from place to place after their home was destroyed in the Age of Ash by cruel fiends.
Grey Elves- The mysterious Grey Elves dwell high in the Godspine Mountains, trading with the dwarves and helping them drive out the mutant goblinoids that come up from the Warp Hills to the west.
Twilight Elves- Only recently returning to Uriah after their home was stolen away from them by the trickery of Kurtulmak, the god of the Kobolds, the Twilight Elves have reclaimed their home after the Age of Ash, and now seek to restore their bonds with their more haughty kin.
Dark Elves- The cruel Dark Elves were driven beneath the surface after a terrible civil war that saw mountains topple as powerful magic was loosed. They are rarely seen outside of their massive and dark cities beneath the earth, where they worship the Spider Goddess Lolth.
Wood Elves- The Wood Elves have dwelt in the Feywood for as long as anyone can remember, killing despoilers and invaders without mercy or impunity. Having been separated from their High Elf kin, they have grown xenophobic and savage, often raiding settlements for supplies.

DWARVEN RACES
Dwarf- The stout dwarves dwell in the mountains, doing battle with their hated goblinoid foe with axe and rune. Dwarves are always eager to lend a hand or an axe if the cause is worthy... and if they are promised fine ale.
Flamebeard Dwarf- The practically feral Flamebeards inhabit the plains of Veska, living a nomadic existence alongside the Johterim, with whom they trade. As their name suggests, their hair is a fiery red, and the warriors often cut it into a mohawk pattern, with which they slick with blood. Every Flamebeard has a special runic weapon that they will never part with, nor will they do battle without it.
Godspine Dwarf- The dwarves of the Godspine Mountains are arrogant and proud, believing themselves immune to the petty wars that rage below them. Their hair is universally stark white, and often coated with snow and ice from their homes.
Iron Dwarf- The cruel Iron dwarves dwell beneath, trading slaves to the dark elves and the kobolds.

HALFLING RACES
Halfling- The wandering folk travel about the world, selling their wares to those with enough coin. Halflings often rub shoulders with Ashanti merchants coming north from the Empty Space deep in the south.
Deep Gnomes- These diminutive humanoids battle against the kobolds in their underground kingdoms.

DRACONIC RACES
Kobolds- The small race of dragonkin dwell beneath the earth, fighting the deep gnomes in endless wars of attrition. Some kobolds venture to the surface, seeking respite from the endless wars beneath the surface. Naturally strong in magic, most of their kind become sorcerers or arcanists of some sort.

GOBLINOID RACES
Goblins- The cowardly goblins are often bullied into service to the orcs, where they serve as expendable troops and slaves. Sometimes, a goblin escapes the tribe, and makes a name for himself.
Night Goblins- A race of goblins created by the Dark Elves, the night goblins lurk in the deep, their pure white eyes hunting for prey. Theses grey-skinned creatures are larger and more intelligent then their smaller kin, often leading tribes of them into battle against the dwarves.
Orcs- The foul orcs populate every stretch of land on Uriah save Argoth, their endless green tide rolling over entire kingdoms. However, the orcs are too brutish and stupid to fully band together, for if they did, they could easily sweep the elves, dwarves, and humans from the world in a few generations.

ELEMENTALS
Edenites: The Edenites are a rare breed of being that are one with the World. Each is connected to an elements and each elemental are rarer then others. Fire and Earth are the most common and Water the scarce and Wind extinct and Lighting rumored to never be in existence. (if you want to be a wind user go ahead but you won’t get any basic training from other Edenites. Also Edenites can't have a class since they are already a mass of destructive energy. Use your body as a weapon)

BEAST MEN
Gnoll: the basic Hyena man, usually live in the southern territories to keep away from the from his natural Enemies, The Wolf men and Feral men
Wolfmen: Myths shroud these intelligent beasts that are victims legends of an imaginative plague that turn unexpecting humans into these advance hunters. Using all five of their senses to hunt down unfortunate prey.
Feral Men: Men who mysteriously joined the animalistic races along with the Wolves and Hyenas but in this the form of a cat. They live in the east with great clans scattered and hidden. Each clan looks like another big cat. (for example one clan will look like lions as another would look like a puma.)
Boarmen: Men who have shrunk between the size of a dwarf and a normal man. Thick wire like hair sprout throughout their body with mighty tusks as an warning for offenders and enemies.
Bearmen: The rarest of all the animal men and thought to be the strongest and hard working as long with the most open with humans. Many villages hide Enclaves of these humble giants while their Boar counterparts the travel through the west for supplies for both races.
