Kerrath

--HEAVILY in progress--

Introduction Kerrath is less a mere mortal and more a force of nature, and that's being reductive. A reasonable person looking into the background of Kerrath will find very little of substance and will be flooded with an unending deluge of dubious feats of strength, completely unproven and unconfirmed. Most of the rumors that surround the enigmatic barbarian beastman you now research will be given to you by either biased or unreliable sources. No one of sound mind would believe the superhuman achievements ascribed to Kerrath. Likely, they are either exaggerated, if not completely fabricated. However, one thing is for certain: Kerrath does have a certain energy of bravado that almost makes one want believe the mythology that he exudes. Almost. Be wary when determining what to believe and what not to believe about Kerrath. Physical Appearance Kerrath is large for a Miqo'te. While it is difficult to get him to stand still long enough to measure his height with any accuracy, an approximation of six fulms is reasonable. It is equally difficult to get a measure for his weight, but reports from those who have fought him (many unconfirmed) state that when charged upon by him, the experience was not dissimilar to being run over by a train. By appearance, he has very little body fat. His body is a dense latticework of mostly-healed wounds from the many fights he has participated over the years. Lovers (many unconfirmed) have reported that the scars across his torso are "extensive" and "add to the experience" but leave one wondering how exactly he survived some of them. Kerrath can easily be identified by his red Seeker eyes, his pale ashen blonde hair, and often has bandages over his head, due to damage sustained from his most powerful attack, a headbutt. Kerrath claims that a lifetime of performing this attack has made his skull three times thicker than the average male Miqo'te, and that he has had this measured and confirmed by scientists. No one knows which scientists measured his skull. Origin Very little of Kerrath's childhood is known. Kerrath claims that he never knew the tribe from which he hailed, though there are theories that he is the last son of a forgotten "Monkey" tribe that no historian of any repute has ever recorded the existence of. Kerrath himself pays this theory little heed, and it seems to have been more of a tall tale surrounding him, as Kerrath fights like an ape. Kerrath claims that he was raised by a band of mercenaries called the Red Blade, whom he references in the surname he has adopted, Redblade, who were largely transient. Now defunct, the Red Blade seems to have taught Kerrath very little about how to handle himself in a fight, as his fighting style focuses more on raw strength and endurance than technique or skill. Feats of Strength The following is a list of physical achievements that either Kerrath claims, or that are ascribed to Kerrath by admittedly unreliable sources. It is highly advised to take any of these feats of strength with a grain of salt, if not completely dismiss them. Kerrath has fully removed a man's arm from his torso unassisted by tools simply by pulling it off with his bare hands. Kerrath has held his breath for 30 minutes. Kerrath killed his first man when he was either 4, 6, 9, 12, or 13. Various accounts contradict each other. Kerrath has beaten a gorilla unarmed into submission in a fight. Kerrath has a daily caloric intake of ~8,000 calories and a bodyfat% under 10% Kerrath once shattered a man's reinforced steel tower shield by slamming his head into it. Kerrath can lick his weenis (the loose skin found at the end of one's elbow) Kerrath is capable of a vertical jump of 6 fulms. Kerrath swallows his toothpaste, despite warning labels explicitly stating not to, and has experienced no side effects. Due to his high density, Kerrath is not naturally buoyant, and will sink in water unless he constantly swims upward. The longest period of time Kerrath has gone without food is one month. Starvation only made him deadlier in fights. In an emergency, Kerrath is capable of folding himself into a fetal position tight enough to fit into a large backpack. He employed this strategy to be smuggled into and out of Garlemald. Animals have a general tendency to understand Kerrath when he speaks to them. OOC Notes My goal in RP is to be entertaining. If I fail to entertain you in any way, I am enthusiastically open to criticism. I strive to provide a fun storytelling experience. Please communicate with me if I ever make you uncomfortable and I will accommodate you. As far as personal limits go, I have very few--the only one being that I have no intent to kill or dismember my character. Rest assured, if we engage in any RP fights, I will strive to provide something fun for you that makes you feel powerful. I will absolutely take injuries and describe them in detail as gorey as you are comfortable with. Discord: Kerrath#6596 Credit Template made by User:Abelia Kir Armiger and is free for use!
