About

Name: Tork

Tork was raised as part of a select group of Turtoids that were chosen to protect Seal of Haaf, an artifact deep in the ocean that was said to protect the oceans from the monsters that lurked beyond it's depths. But Tork doubted it's power and, when he was old enough, he left to find his own path. Years later, he heard news of many attacks from strange sea creatures and he feared the worst. He journeyed back to his village only to find it overrun with sea monsters. He has now taken it upon himself to find the Seal of Haaf and return it to it's rightful place before the oceans are destroyed.

Mechanics

Tork is meant to be used as a defensive player. He excels when taking the Full Defense action in a fight. He can build up tons of advantages this way by defending for himself and allies in the same zone. Then he can spend them all at once, or hand them off to a heavier hitter for some pretty nasty combos.

Scene Ideas

  1. When your party is crossing a slippery log spanning over a canyon with a river at the bottom, have a T-rex show up on one or both sides of the log bridge looking for an easy meal. It's fun. Believe me!
