Ghorza’s Backstory

Ghorza is a young, twenty-year-old Orc male born in the Orc Homerealm of Grurguhrohk to Clan Gazraggahr, a part of Tribe Kurdhakka. For most of his life, he lived a nomadic lifestyle with his family in the perilous desert region, Van Galbragh. Like many Orcs, life in such a horrific hellscape where food is sparse and enemies are many toughened him into a very rigid individual.

When he was only nine, his father died protecting him from a gigantic scorpion-like beast and taught the young Orc that protecting the Clan means doing anything at any cost- even giving up one's life.

His father had three wives who each bore him ten children, aside from Ghorza, the oldest. His father's sacrifice became the core motivation for everything Ghorza would go on to strive for. He trained himself to become a strong provider for his many siblings, working himself to the bone to the point where the weakest among them wouldn't even be forced to go hunting or become warriors. Ghorza more than made up enough of the slack for them that the tribe had no choice but to give the rest of Clan Gazraggahr a break.

Rather than any weapons made of bone, Ghorza became a melee specialist utilizing his fists and bare strength alone to defeat the monsters of Van Galbragh and defend the tribe from other hostile bands of Orcs alike. He learned what he could from the other experienced warriors of his tribe, developing many mighty Brawler-class Arts that would serve him well. Though his talent was unmatched, and many believed he'd one day have what it took to take leadership of Tribe Kurdhakka for himself, Ghorza's life took a drastically different turn.

When he was eighteen, a recruitment drive was held by Karnalle's Association of Adventurers. Foreign Guild scouts went around to the different regions and explained the merits of emigrating to any who would listen. As a rule, many Orcs look down on those who leave Grurguhrohk- but that didn't matter to Ghorza. To him, nothing mattered as long as he could provide a better life for his Clan. Although it hurt him to separate from his siblings, Ghorza was promised he could do tons of quests and make enough money to send entire boatloads of food back to his Clan. He enlisted on the spot and was taught the common tongue thanks to a magical spell.

Ghorza was not aware he signed onto one of the Associations many debt-traps, of course. Only after he stepped foot off the Voidship and took his first step into Karnalle was he told that emigrating to Karnalle was not cheap, and neither was gaining citizenship. He suddenly owed over a million gold in debt to the Association and had to start making minimum payments of 50,000G a month. But hey, at least the 10,000G Adventurer's License was free, right?

This kind of money is more than most bronze-ranked adventurers could pull off right after signing up, but Ghorza wasn't an ordinary bronze-ranked adventurer. He was a mighty Orc.

Rather than lose hope and submit despair, Ghorza pushed all negativity from his mind and reminded himself why he left to begin with. His Clan. As long as he made the minimum payments, he'd still have plenty of money left to buy food and send it home. Furthermore, he was stationed in the single best place to purchase and ship food in all of Karnalle- Hunnihome. Ghorza got to work immediately and gained a reputation as a strong, reliable adventurer who will take just about any quest if there's enough money in it, as well as the many eccentric behaviors he does that are meant to save him on Gold.

His scrimping habits include living in a tent outside of town, hunting for all of his own food, resisting typical Orc temptations like alcohol or brothels, and selling any and all treasure he picks up during adventures- even if they're artifacts that would increase his power. With all this in mind and with the sheer volume of quests Ghorza would undertake, he'd manage to hit the 50,000G payment relatively fast each month and be able to spend the rest on care packages.

However, one of his biggest quirks was his staunch refusal to form a party with other adventurers. After all, for every quest completed, the Guild takes forty percent. Splitting the gold past that was unthinkable to him for the longest time, no matter how lonely and isolated it made him.

The only person he found himself getting close to during his first year as an adventurer was the Hunnihome Guild Master, Lanille Peacethorn. No surprise there. Everyone loves the older yet still beautiful matron of the local Guild. While she has no choice but to enforce all of the Association's wicked policies, she does what little he can to offset them and make the lives of her adventurers just a bit easier. Often, she would offer him drinks late at night and listen to his problems.

It took her a whole year, but Lanille eventually convinced him to start trying higher-ranked quests that required parties. Even if he had to split the pay, he'd get more income overall, so Ghorza caved and promised her he'd at least try it once. She helped match him up with D'artanyan, a young Catfolk Fencer who Ghorza always noticed was giving him weird looks. Turns out Dart always roleplays as a hardcore knight and was always watching him, making sure he never did anything bad. As an Orc, Ghorza finds that super racist but whatever. It became clear to Ghorza that this was mostly an excuse for the bizarre crush she had on him, though. The two ended up working well enough together, despite Dart's initially unwanted advances.

Now that the gates were open, Lanille hooked him up with an Elven Bard, Auriss, and a Kissuaran Magi, Qadira. These two brought along problems of their own. Auriss is always singing lewd songs and is fascinated with Orc fetish porn. At the same time, Qadira spouts all kinds of offensive crap about turning him into her obedient, powerful slave despite being totally unable to back it up.

Over the past year, Ghorza has routinely done quests with these three girls without much incident. He's deeply aware that each of them is into him, and although the three are each problematic in their own right, he has grown quite attached to them in his own distant way.

Sex would complicate his life more than he's ready for. After all, he came to Karnalle to support his Clan- not to father a new one. Not to mention that with the near bottomless libido he has as an Orc, Ghorza fears that if he snapped, he'd suddenly want to have sex all the time instead of going on quests.

So day by day, he continues to suffer the sexual, sometimes racist advances of his party members, all while they become increasingly lewder. He knows he's on the verge of snapping, but will he push them away before that happens, or will the girls finally get what they've been wanting?
