Hirgma

Physical Traits
Standing almost as high as some of the males of her kind, Hirgma is built for one thing: strength. Her entire body consists of muscles, ranging from thick tree-branch arms to powerful child-bearing thighs. If it weren't for the facial features to define her as female, it would almost be certain that she could be distinguished as the opposite. She is scarred from combat and looks to be physically strong, with broad shoulders and a hulking appearance.

Visible age is apparent on Hirgma's face, with lines around her eyes and mouth. Although not venerable yet, her high cheekbones are becoming more prominent as her face slowly starts to adopt a more gaunt expression.

Hirgma's eyes are a shade of green and blue, accompanied with a squashed, flat nose with a large bull ring piercing it. Her lips are tightened into an almost permanent scowl and her teeth are constantly on display, whether in a mocking grin or a snarl. Around her lower lips are two very faint scars, which look as if something has been ripped into her squared jaw. Ears are large and pointed, partially covered by the messy greying braids which hang just beyond her shoulders.

Filthy and greasy is one way of describing this particular female. As she makes no effort to wash herself every day, dirt and dried blood smother her armour and olive-green skin constantly. As a result, her stench can be quite unbearable to most other races. Hair is matted and knotted, even with the occasional leaf or twig stuck amongst the wiry locks which form an imposing mohawk atop her head. On the left side of her head, visible from above the left ear to just above her brow, is a long stretched scar which appears to 'dent' into her thick skull.

Bearing mail or lighter plate armour, Hirgma can be found wielding a single large weapon and often a bow. At her side she is sometimes accompanied by a brown female wolf, Maika.

Personality & Attitude
Hirgma is well-known for one thing: a short temper. Hirgma is almost always aggressive towards something and quite often she can be considered very primitive and childish for it. Whether it be a physical or verbal attack, Hirgma will not tolerate it with her limited patience and she is often ready to pick a fight at any time. When enraged to a certain point, Hirgma can often lose control and has been prone to turn on her own warband. This rage is what has given Hirgma her beserker nature, as she will often fight blindly through pain until blood loss weakens her.

Within her warband, Hirgma has been considered both as a bully and as a subject of joke. Though normally the latter becomes the first in cases where someone should mock her. Hirgma's attitude towards her bandmates has become one more based around tolerance, but she has little patience for the Warlocks or other casters whom often hold a distinct edge over her in combat with their magic.

Rot-skins (Undead): One of the most hated things for Hirgma. After being stalked and losing her second child to one, Hirgma has lost any desire to trust an undead creature again. This also includes Death Knights, whom she believes should remain in their graves. Even with the recent addition of Forsaken into Beastmaw ranks, Hirgma remains skeptical of their intentions.

Bluebells (Trolls): Hirgma's attitude towards Trolls has been varied lately. Originally, she had always held a mistrust for them and their voodoo magic, but upon late, after meeting some of the individuals from Atal´Loa, she has started to regard them with more fascination. In particular, she hopes she can test her combat prowess against some of the Trolls who come to join the Beastmaw.

Big-Ears (Elves): Blood Elves, now a frequent sight within the Beastmaw, do little to earn Hirgma's mistrust. Nor do they do much to earn her favour. Each individual is judged on individual merit and, based on their attitude, Hirgma has no quarrel with them.

Tauren: This race is probably one of the few that Hirgma has no dispute with. Although not always keen on their peace-loving nature, Hirgma often feels at ease talking to the most relaxed members of the Tauren race, in particular her warband's native shaman Guln, whom will happily hear her troubles.

Goblins: While there are Goblins in her warband which have proven themselves capable fighters, Hirgma is adamant that the green-skinned rats only have profit on their agenda and that they will exploit any means to get coin.

Pandaren: Hirgma has little interaction with this race but she doesn't like the idea of someone else being able to drink her under the table.

Alliance Races: Any Alliance race is considered Hirgma's enemy, unless ordered otherwise.

Current
At present, Hirgma travels unaccompanied. She is in the process of 'finding' a capable beast, under the guidance of the stable masters in Orgrimmar.



Previous
Maika - A brown Warsong-bred wolf whom Hirgma stole from Lok-rath as a pup. Intended as a gift to her son, the wolf instead began to follow Hirgma around. Although Hirgma does not control Maika well, she can often jump into a fight when she wants. She can also be found harassing the male wolf under Torakk's command, Zixx.



Armour, Weapons & Mounts
Although Hirgma can be seen in one particular set of armour, there are other sets she will wear as well. When Hirgma is not garbed in heavy plate, she will be seen either wearing fur hunting attire, or on a very rare occasion, a robe. Robes are not a preferred method of attire but may be worn when events are very casual.

Noteable Armour

 * Grunt Uniform: When Hirgma first joined the Beastmaw Clan, her armour consisted of the average leather and fur that an Orgrimmar grunt would wear. It has now been updated to a more fitting Warsong-affiliated appearance. With it, she wore the mask of a grey wolf, one which she had killed in the forests of Ashenvale to earn her place as a warrior. This armour is sometimes worn in a casual setting.


 * Torakk's Black Dragonscale: Given as a gift from her General, Hirgma has taken a liking to a set of dragonscale mail armour fitted for her after Torakk's decision to give it to her. Padded with leather underneath, it's comfortable and allows flexibility. It also offers more protection against arrows and magical attacks. Although Hirgma no longer wears it, she keeps it safely stored for the future.


 * Champion Armour: Consisting mainly of plate, rows of spiked metal form the majority of Hirgma's armour, adorned with bones and tusks from various kills made both on Azeroth and Draenor. The armour is styled in the manner of the Kor'kron, indicating it was either stolen, or held in Hirgma's possession before Garrosh's uprising. As Hirgma no longer carries the title of Champion, this armour has been abandoned in storage where it gathers dust.

Weapons
 * Longbow: After an accident which crippled Hirgma's melee abilities, she took on the art of marksmanship from her General, Torakk. She is now proficient in using a bow, although not highly skilled.
 * Ceremonial Battleaxe: Hirgma uses a ceremonial axe for when she is required to dress formally.
 * Warsong Axes: Hirgma's choice weapons were the inherited Warsong axes she received from her father. Both are styled similar to that of Grom Hellscream's Gorehowl. These are no longer used.

Mounts

Alive
 * Grim: A large black bear. Grim is slow and is more suited to climbing over more difficult terrain and was last stabled in Kargathia Keep in Ashenvale. His current whereabouts are unknown.
 * Unnamed Blue Wyvern: A gift from General Bloodrain after Lumpy's death.

Deceased
 * Lumpy: An overweight Wyvern whom Hirgma recieved in Northrend. He died in Mulgore during an arial combat session.
 * Dunechaser: A Dustmane Direwolf whom Hirgma recieved at the beginning of her warband's invasion of Tanaan Jungle. Died at the hands of a Gronn at the Iron Front.

Guild
The Beastmaw Clan

Family

 * Mate: Rocmar Swiftwolf
 * Children: Rokarna, Natsu'gar

Background
May be subject to change.

Hirgma was born and raised on the planet Draenor to the Warsong Clan, where both her mother and father originated. Although her father, Hurgoth, was a pure-blooded Warsong warrior, her mother, Agnuka, had ancestors relating to the Bleeding Hollow clan in the south. This made little difference in Hirgma's upbringing, and the majority of her childhood was spent watching her father's training or playing alongside other youths in the Clan. Both her parents took part in the drinking of demon blood as their Chieftain, Grom Hellscream, had and Hirgma was no exception. Ten years into Hirgma's life and she was offered up to the warlocks as a soldier, being forced to age in order to join the rising army preparing to assault Azeroth. When the Warsong clan moved through the Dark Portal, Hirgma's family followed suit, staying loyal with their clan and avoiding the conflicts of the Second War. Although her parents defended the Dark Portal alongside other members of their clan, they were eventually forced to retreat with the rest of Grom Hellscream's forces and travel to Lordearon, where Hirgma's would-be teenage years began. The years spent in hiding were consumed with the female Orc learning how to wield her fathers axes, and by twenty years, she was already a proficient fighter with not only axes but swords, maces and polearms too.

Later on, when Hirgma had reached over twenty-five winters in age, some of the more memorable events happened to the female Orc. The diminishing Warsong clan reunited with the forces of Doomhammer and the Frostwolves, giving Hirgma newfound delight in joining on the various skirmishes which would help liberate her kind from the internment camps. During the fall of Durnholde, Hirgma lost her father when she witnessed him being cut down by a human soldier from behind. Enraged at the loss, the beserker nature which Hirgma would later come to wield came into use and she brutally slaughtered the soldier in revenge. She managed to take her father's body back to her mother for a burial. Hirgma, never wishing to forget him, took up her father's axes.

The time spent after Hurgoth's death was dealt in battling more internment camps. Hirgma often shared her father's knowledge with younger Orcs who had been imprisoned in the internment camps and later joined the Warsong, often demonstrating skills for battle. Still hurt by the loss of her father, however, Hirgma often resorted to bullying some of the Orcs as a method of venting. This ranged from pickings fights to stealing food. On one occasion, however, a particular male Orc she stole food from would later become her General.

It was not long after that Hirgma and her mother were boarding one of the human ships which would carry them to Kalimdor after Thrall had instructed. Still a part of the Warsong, Hirgma and her mother joined the forces which later destroyed parts of Ashenvale. Both drank the demon blood of Mannoroth, and both later joined in the conflicts which eventually led to the fall of the Demigod Cenarius. Hirgma drank in hopes that the new strength would give her power that her father would have been proud of and relished in the strength given, despite her mind being enslaved to a demon. When the bloodlust had finally been lifted at the cost of Grom's life, Hirgma and Agnuka joined the remaining Orcish forces which fought at Mt. Hyjal, taking no interest in their Kaldorei or Human allies.

After the Third War had ended, Hirgma joined with her clan and Thrall's forces in constructing Orgrimmar and laying claim to Durotar as their homeland. Whilst her aging mother chose to reside in Orgrimmar, Hirgma took the oppertunity for more blood to be shed and joined with the Warsong Outriders in defending their lumber operation in Ashenvale.

When the war in Northrend began, Hirgma took her duties away from the Outriders and instead chose to join the Warsong Offensive in their conquest, led by Garrosh Hellscream. Here, Hirgma's experience of war gave her the skills and abilities needed to survive in the unexpectedly harsh lands, and her time was spent fighting undead and on scouting missions.

After a tour of duty in Northrend, Hirgma finally decided it fit to return to Kalimdor. Travelling through Orgrimmar after visiting her mother, Hirgma met Torakk Bloodrain and learned of the Beastmaw Warband. Seeking a new opportunity to prove her worth, Hirgma took a position within the Clan and still remains there to this day.

Additional Notes

 * Hirgma's attitude towards being a mother had begun to improve. She often spends her time in the company of her son and daughter and is not above taking care of Kromash, son of Vrakk. More recently she has taken a shine to Torakk's daughter, Talik.


 * Hirgma was due to birth a second child to Rocmar Swiftwolf after their daughter, Rokarna. However, the unstable Lundstark caught wind of this and stalked her and Rocmar until he was finally able to find Hirgma by herself. Delivering a fatal blow to her midsection, the unborn child was lost and left both parents in a state of grief.


 * Hirgma will often engage in senseless fights just to keep her strength from fading. As a result, she often bullies others into challenging her.


 * Hirgma has the ability to fall asleep whilst standing. This often comes as a result of having to listen to too much talking at once.
