: Drik-chkit, Level 1 Arena Fighter (Gladiator)
: Dom August 26, 2010, 02:50:50 AM
Had to build the character by hand, since Character Builder doesn't have the Dark Sun updates yet. When it does, I'll build him through there.

Character Sheet (https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B1vAvPfb7dKxOTBiNjNiNjktYmI1Ny00NDAwLWIxODgtODY4NTI3MGVjMGFj&hl=en&authkey=CL-rltoD)

Description:
Drik-chkit’ is 6’2”, with sandy-coloured chitinous plate skin. Along the chitin there are some deep scars as well as light scratches. His upper pair of limbs are quite tough, but his middle set of limbs are smaller and dexterous. He usually carries weapons in these hands, to which he can easily switch to his upper limbs when in combat. His antennae are somewhat longer than most Thri-Kreen’s, and his jaw looks somewhat fiercer. With his compound eyes, it’s sometimes hard to tell what he is looking at exactly.


Back-story:
 Drik-chkit was originally born in a Thri-Kreen hunting party that lived out in the wild.

While he was still a youngling, he and most of his clutch captured by slavers and brought to Tyr. Drik-chkit was bought by a noble, who trained Drik-chkit as a Gladiator. Through his combat prowess, he became one of the best gladiators in the arena, and a favorite for the gamblers. However, with the death of King Kalak and the abolition of slavery by King Tithian, Drik-chkit was released to a world that he knew nothing of. In the pit, he had always had a purpose in front of him, to kill the other opponent and to win the gladiatorial games, but with his new freedom he did not know what to do. So, he turned to a caravan guard and mercenary. He has very little knowledge of how economy works: he knows that he can trade little clay disks for food, and that’s good enough for him.

Maybe it’s for this reason, as well as his physical prowess, that he was recruited to a small caravan. As it slowly turned to “illegitimate work", Drik-chkit was fascinated by the amount of planning and action it required, almost like a hunt. And if there’s something Thri-Kreen like, it’s a good hunt.


Personal goals:
Find members of his birth-clutch. Find a purpose to his life. Be as useful as possible to his new group.

Looks like an awesome character!  Can't wait to hear his backstory.
