BIOGRAPHY EXAMPLE
Biography: First Camp Chatro Kassar
Camp: Presented to Ubara Goddess Isis in open on line, Middle of April
1998
Tal Ubara, I Ronuk Gillmanuk, now known as Qar Qarth, petition you for
membership in your camp. As you can see, I stand five feet 11, with a wiry
build, brown eyes, greying hair and a leather face lined from long
experience.
I am from Treve, and I am a Master Tarnsman with many raids
to boast about. On one such raid My tarn was severely wounded and before
regaining the Voltai mountains she had to land, and I found Myself alone in the
Barrens. I survived and joined a mercenary band. It was not long before I became
second in command. I have also served onboard a war galley of Lara and have
watched many a pirate hulk sink to a watery grave. I travelled to the Frontier
and at Fort Haskins, I assummed command of the Umens (kailla and tarn Warriors)
and was in charge of protecting the Frontier.
There I also met a
freewoman, a beauty such as Gor has never seen, and she became my free
companion. After our re-avowment, she informed me that she was with child. While
out on patrol, the Red Barbarians launched a massive raid and she was captured.
Their shamans flayed her alive and danced with her skin draped over them to
honor their bloodthirsty gods.
In rage I led all the Umens against them.
I caught their main force at the Katargic Pass and we killed them to a man. My
men raided and burned their camps, killed their brats, raped their women and
slew all but those who could be trained as slaves. The frontier was red with
their blood and My men proclaimed me Qar Qarth (vengeful leader, scourge of the
earth). But everywhere I went, her presence was there and I had to
leave.
Sore at heart, I have wandered until your camp welcomed Me. I
pledge My sword to you and will use it until I draw My last breath defending you
and yours... I would like to purchase a wagon and pursue the other side of
Myself, and seek knowledge from those of the scribe cast. I need no slave, for
none, I fear, will ever melt My ice bound heart; Camp kajirae will meet My
modest needs.
