Gronk

About
Gronk is a Half-Orc Barbarian, born into the Nargari Tribe, destined for greatness. While young he was trained hard with the other younglings, Gronk showed that he will be a strong fighter and a good leader; being born under the tribe chief is very hard to live up to. Gronk bested all of his peers and some older then him, those who beat him he trained under until he could beat them. After years past Gronk only got stronger proving to the village that he will one day lead them into the next generation.

The Early Years
Gronks early life was very simple, training, hunting and learning. All the days where the same to Gronk, he liked the training he got to do, he wasn't very keen on sitting still for long, at a young age Gronk was more of a doer then a thinking taking action without thinking about the consequences. Gronk trained hard and didn't make many friends, everyone he beat in combat disliked him, thought he was doing too much for his age.

Being the chieftains son came with benefits, but being young Gronk didn't know what that meant. He was pushed harder then any of the other Nargari when trained, he needed to be ready when he takes over. Gronk was raised by only his father because sadly his mother died giving birth to Gronk; but the Nargari see this as a gift from the mother, passing on her fighting spirit into their child, but none the less it is still brings sadness into Gronks father's heart; he will be harder on Gronk because of this because he might not admit it, Gronks father blames Gronk for her death.

The Nargari are very big on family and making the Nargari tribe bigger and stronger. There has only been one Nargari girl that has ever caught Gronks attention, Kiaria, the rest have kind of been just people to fight; but this one was different, Gronk didn't want to fight this one, she gave off a different feeling then the others. When ever they would fight Gronk would always hold back, and this would anger Kiaria, but Gronk enjoyed the time he spent with Kiaria. Gronk and Kiaria would go on to be very close friends and do nearly everything together, hunting, drinking and fighting. After Gronk started to develop into a young man, he started to develop feelings toward Kiaria.

The Battle
An invading army storms onto the Nargari Tribe's sacred hunting grounds looking to exterminate any type of Barbarian tribes they see as savage. The battle was long and hard fought, the Nargari was on the losing side, the unknown forces where too overpowering for the Nargari. Gronk wanted to join the battle and help his brothers fight the army off, but his father wouldn't allow it, for his father has gotten weak with age and cannot breed another son and does not want to chance Gronk dying in battle leaving the Nargari leaderless. Enraged by this Gronk lashes out and throws a nearby spear into the heart of his father; gasping for air his father asks him to come close so he can be with his son when he passes. Gronk's father holds him close and looks into Gronk's eyes and says, "Thank you... son... be better... then I was..." As Gronk's father passes, Gronk snaps the javelin in half, removes his fathers necklace and puts it on himself signifying he has claimed the role as leader.

As Gronk steps out of the chieftain's hut and bares witness to the massacre that is happening, fuelled with rage and sadness in his heart he looks toward the battlefield and all he sees is a sea of blood and bodies, the sound of metal clanging rings into his ears, the sound of screaming can be heard from every direction. Gronk runs to were he can see fighting, Gronk stops just before charging in and lets out a war cry to inspire and encourage the Nargari to fight with all they have; "NARGARI! I AM NOW YOUR CHIEF! FIGHT ALONG SIDE ME SO WE CAN LIVE ANOTHER DAY OR DIE TOGERHER ON THIS BATTLEFIELD IN THE HONOR OF YOUR FAMILIES!" Gronk charged into the battle slaying any and all in his sight that didn't resemble a Nargari.

The battle lasted for nearly a whole day, the invading force was forced to retreat and the Nargari is victorious. Cheers and heard throughout the village, many men and women proved there worth in the fight; after the celebration the tribe set out to honouring the dead by burying them and their weapons so they can use them in The Hunt. Once the burying was complete, Gronk was pronounced the new Chieftain and a celebration was thrown in Gronk's honour.
