Ogu - Male Troll Shaman

In the sweltering islands where the Darkspear tribe call home, you awaken on the day your training is to begin. You paint the tribal stripes onto your face without need of a mirror, knowing exactly how to apply the markings of your family with your thick fingers. You stalk out of the hut, still graceful despite the gangly form of your body, the sinew and muscle of a troll’s long arms and legs giving you a deceptive agility. The stone jewelry in your hair, beard and wide tusks sparkle like the white sands, the sun already moving high and glaring over the beach you grew up on.

You sniff, the smoky scent of grilled fish leading you to the cooking pit where you spot another troll crouching. She has the same dark blue skin you do. As you approach the other troll she turns her head, her mane of red hair rustling. Her face bares the same painted markings as yours.
