[BladeRunner]

Name- Orchcash Bloodstone

Race: Badland Orc (there are two variants I introduced here separate from what you got)

Political Alliance- Fiercely loyal to the King and Queen, or in general the Royal Family within reason

Age- 58

Personality- Orchcash is known for being serious and straight to the point, he wastes no time with trivial "childish" talk, however he isn't without understanding nor sympathy. He does his job with pride leading the Twilight Guard to be the best warriors in the royal court, and as such he's put much blood and sweat into rebuilding the respectable and feared company of protector's people know today. He values Orcs based on skill and attitude than their achievements, and while Orchcash is rightful Chieftain of the great Bloodstone Battle Clans he swore loyalty to the King many years ago after the King and his men helped the clan siege a traitorous warlock many, many years ago. 

______________

Bio- Born from mother Orchdiie, and son of the great Saint Hunter Orchdoon, Orchcash was a Badland Orc born to hold the Bloodstone name with pride and strength. That never came to pass, as a child he was raised much more harshly than other children as he was the son of the Chieftain, and expectations were much higher. He met every challenge with great ferocity and excelled where many others failed, and when he was aged 14 he would join his fathers' ranks as a Bloodstone Raider. But they were tricked, and they were driven back by the battalion of Saint Kjorvich, and when they returned the shaman, Ulivar, demanded a challenge to the helm of Chieftain. And so Ulivar and Orchdoon fought a bloody battle however the shaman used an untraceable and unseeable magick to siphon Orchdoon of his life energy. And when it was done, Orchcash rushed to his father's side as the Chieftain Drew his last breath, remembering even now the words, "Prevail where I have failed, for our clans are to fall and fade to the void." 

At 17, Orchcash was merely a grunt after Ulivar the Mythic exiled the young Orc's mother for treason, and he paid for it still by the, "Inner Circle of the Profaned Arts," a higher order of Orcs indoctrinated by the new chieftain. The great clans were dispersed and wiped out from foolish planning and overconfidence, so much so the Bloodstone Battle Clans became a memory and the remaining clan forced to serve the joint forces of the Goblin King and Ulivar. No longer were the clan a mighty and feared desert people, instead they were forced into the bog and swamps where another form of Orc, the Frostbite, were being used as slave labour of one of the Goblin Dukes: Grum Kholvine. 

And despite this treachery, at 20, Orchcash was used as a gladiator for bloodsport, killing beasts and trolls and other things just like the other enslaved warriors. That changed when Ulivar fell into a deep, unbreakable trance into a session of magick, and while the Goblins rest at night the slaves managed to break free of their imprisonment and set fire to the wooden and stone kingdom. With fury and insatiable rage, Orchcash and every slave let them be Orc or not laid waste to the Goblin city of Khathach (not the main Goblin home but nearly equal in size) and slew the once Goblin King Vaeck and his entire family, the bloodline, royal family, and even those related to the court. This event was famously known as the Khathach Massacre

Ulivar woke from his trance and saw the bloodshed, he and others had fled to fight another day. The entire city burnt brightly into the night and was warning to other Goblin cities and royalty alike. Orchcash, along with his trusted allies of the Frostbite Clans Uravtabe and Ursutaon, lead the slaves and servants to a half sunken village that this day was known as Blightstone. Only a few days passed and Ulivar returned not with a grand army of shiny soldiers but with a horde of angered Goblins, Trolls, and other things of the likes. For several days the Slaves fought off the hordes, and when all seemed lost a legion rose over the horizon and swept across the battlefield, and an even longer battle took place. In this time Orchcash had found Ulivar and the two fought a bloody and gruesome match, however unlike Orchdoon, the son was impervious to the shaman's magick. And so when the battle ended Orchcash had Ulivar's head, and by rite he was the chieftain of his family's name. 

Orchcash and the surviving slaves were brought to the King, where they were regarded for their incredible prowess against larger forces. The Orc had been given a choice: join the King and become great once more, and allow his people to thrive or leave the kingdom's territories to their unknown fates. Orchcash swore oath and faith to the King, and from there on he participated in the war against the Beastmen where the Bloodstone name and it's Battle Clan alongside the Frostbite Clans became great once more. 

Orchcash, after years of servitude, would be granted the position of Captain of the Night Castle Guard after he exposed the corruption of the previous Captain and his underlings. He spent two years reforming the guard into a new name, the Twilight Guard, while still being the, "night duty," they were the first response to any threat at their hours. They became a respectable name for years and have garnered the people's favour and praise for their just actions and leadership. They trained new guards in the ways of the Battle Clans, both physically and mentally, and became a mainstay to the kingdom. Orchcash had spent 37 years as Captain of the Twilight Guard, ever loyal and vigilant.

Abilities And/or Skills- 

Badland Orcs generally live for nearly 200 years, some reaching even 240. However most of the BL Orcs die young in their mid-20's to early 30's due to combat related issues. 

These Orcs are raised from a young age (likely 4-6) to smith and fashion weapons and armor, they are trained with almost every weapon however they mostly utilize war/battle-axes, hammers, and greatswords. 

They have a great understanding of tactics and are put through various "Warrior Trials," that make each Orc self-sufficient in survival situations and utilize almost every terrain. 

Badland Orcs are also known beastmasters, in the great deserts of Alu'khem they use massive reptilian beasts and the birdlike "Sand Striders" for raiding caravans. 

The Bloodstone bloodline is well known for their immense strength, speed, and durability and this is what Orchcash had been born with despite their short stature compared to other Orcs. He is highly renowned as a powerful warrior without magic and was said to be one of the best fighters the King has… as the rumors go. 

Despite not having any "notable" magic, Orchcash has an ability to create a nullification field that weakens the powers of others, let it be enchantment, cast, curse, and forth. This can help equal the playing field between him and his enemies… or tip the scales in his favour.
