Graark

Name
Graark Stonehoof Also known as 'Gra'

Physical Traits
Graark is physically not much different than other Tauren of his age. He is quite tall and rather muscular. His hair is suprisingly well kept and usually braided, and his large horns are sharpened to the 'point' where they cound be considered weapons in their own right.

His body is also covered in old wounds from previous battles, ranging from burns to deep scars. The greatest of these is a painful looking scar that runs from his left shoulder to his right hip, making many wonder what it was that caused such an injury.

Race and Class
Tauren Sunwalker (Paladin)

Fighting Style
Although he can use the An'she's power for heal the infirm and protect the weak, he usually prefers to use his gifts in a more 'direct' way, often hurling bolts of energy at his enemies. It is his belief that ‘dealing with the effects of evil is pointless without also destroying the source’. Like most other Tauren, he also wields a powerful mace, taking effect of his natural size and strength.

Occupation
Before leaving Thunder Bluff, Graark worked as a blacksmith for his people, crafting armour and weapons for Thunder Bluff's guards. He proved quite skilled in this, and continues to use these skills to great effect. He also often undertook his own side projects, and learnt how to mine ores for the resources needed.

Family
The Stonehoof tribe is a relativle small tribe,

Background
Since an early age, Graark was quite an ordinary Tauren, never displaying any unusual abilities. That said, he always wanted to become a defendor of Thunder Bluff, protecting his people from invaders. However, while he learned how to wield a weapon like all Tauren, he was not skilled enough to become an official warrior. After passing his rites, he worked the forges of Thunder Bluff, creating and maintaining the equipment of it's many guards, a possition which gave him great pride. All that changed, however, during the great cataclysm.

In the fires that followed Deathwing's return, many tauren were killed in the resulting chaos, with his wife and child among them. This caused Graark to rethink his existance, as he no loger felt he could simply provide others with the means to fight; he had to go out into the world and do something, anything to help. It was at this time that he was approached by the members of a new group of warriors, calling themselves the Sunwalkers. They said that they wished him to join their ranks, as he had the latent potential to chanel the power of An'she. Graark accepted without a moment's hesitation.

Faith
Graark worships An'she, the sun, just as the druids worship Mu'sha, the moon. As a member of the Sunwalkers, this is the source of his new power's. He believes that the spirits of his wife and child are always watching over him, guiding his hand.

Relations
Graark holds a great amount of respect for the other races of the Horde, although the actions of garrosh Hellscream has somewhat lessened his opinion of Orcs. He does not, however, like Goblins, seeing them as highly untrustworthy.

Personal Notes
Since he was a small child, Graark has always followed a code of honor, set by his father's father. This code is as follows...

1. Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent. 2. All are innocent till proven guilty. 3. Uphold your word, for it is your honour. 4. To deny freedom to another being is the greatest of stains. 5. The old law; an eye for an eye, leaves everyone blind 6. The only one who can defeat you is yourself 7. Live without regret, and die with honour.

Current Status
Graark is currently learning to better use his new-found abilities, while also helping his people cope with the cataclysm.
