Bamboochaa

Appearance
Bamboo´Chaa is known for his height, he´s 8 feet tall (2.5m) along Towering over most other trolls he has the muscle tone to match up with it, he takes great pride in his body and appearance.

He is knows for a bit of a vanity towards his looks, he likes tattoos and piercings a lot. He has a tattoo on his left arm that displays a black voodoo mask, he is also heavily pierced in various places.

He wears a Voodoo mask all the time, he also straps two spirit masks in his shoulders beside that he prefers to wear just a simple harness and loincloth (sometimes he wears a kilt over it so not everyone are forces to look at the shape of his you know what) He hangs shrunken heads in his belt and his harness is decorated with fangs and tusks of fallen enemies.

This outfit is bound to the Shadow Hunters and its a ancient custom for it, It was made to scare off evil and embrace the power of the shadows, there for he hates everyone who judge him wrongly from it, like taking him for some simple barbarian or finding the fact he´s half naked disturbing.

He´s middle aged (which makes him a big and strong adult troll) and his sideburns are getting a little gray But (most)female trolls find him attractive and he is generally respected by the males of his kin.

Race and Class
Male Troll "Shadow Hunter"

Personality
Bamboo´Chaa is (unlike most trolls) quite complicated as a person. Many take him as evil for he sure is violent, aggressive, has a cold stare and is (almost) without mercy. But those are his trollish trades, of course most Darkspear Trolls are laid back but ´Chaa rarely finds the time to relax, he´s a troll of rank and he holds a personal responsibility towards many things.

Many fellow players claim he´s "Attila The Hun" of SWC... sounds fitting.

- Trivia -

He is highly paranoid.

He has a dark sense of humor.

He is quite perverted. (in a funny way)

He can´t stand "Emo people"

He may not show it but he cares for his friends.

He is of a mistrusting nature.

He respects his elders.

He cares for untouched nature, in his eyes Stranglethorn Vale is a holy land.

He claims that his body is perfect and a gift from the gods.

As the previous comment screamed out, he is a egoist.

He loves his culture and the powerful Voodoo magics.

He can be tricked quite easy (he´s not a liar himself)

He has no idea what a "Gnome" is, when he has seen one he has taken them for Dwarf children.

He has no skill with music, yet he has a giant Gong (he bought it only to impress girls)

He rarely drinks or smokes, when he does he gets sentimental and then a blackout.

He has collected many treasures on his journeys, rare troll items and such, most of it is considered crap by other races.

He can´t handle money, if he would find a chest of gold it would be gone in a week.

He used to be against women getting as much rights as men until his firstborn turned out to be a daughter.

He loves his daughter more than anything, for she is the first person of his flesh and blood he comes in real contact with.

He would have a hard time harming a child now, something he did not mind in the past. (children of other races, he would of course hate to harm a troll one)

He refers to Humans and elves and pinkskins, Forsaken as Rotskins and the scourge as Creeps.

((more to come))

Guild
When Bamboo´Chaa dared to return from exile due to his godfather´s sickness he knew he could only redeem himself by staying close to the horde and show loyalty, By joining The Earthfury Clan a group of nomads lead by the wise far seer, Chiftain Hrisskar Bamboo´Chaa could show that he was capable of loyalty. oh how wrongly he had judged the shamans.

He has now left The Earthfury Clan to lead Atal´Loa

Occupation
Bamboo´chaa is a Shadow Hunter and a powerful Voodoo master, he is aided by the LOA and knows many rituals and spells. Bamboo´chaa was a Head Hunter (like his father) before focusing on Voodoo Therefor he is a skilled fighter along with the wicked voodoo powers. He takes great interest in others of his kin and is willing to aid them if they ask, through his kindness towards other of his tribe and straight he has been titled as a hero even "The spirit´s chosen warrior"

He is also a father, thats a heck of a job.

His last official Job was Overseer over Malaka'jin

After War struck Azeroth again Bamboo´Chaa has been promoted as a Warlord within the Darkspear tribe.

Powers
"Bamboo´chaa may be one of the most powerful trolls to have lived, if he´s not, he will be" -Shadow Hunter Ro´Khan.

He belongs a ancient troll bloodline that causes his regeneration powers are "godlike" (what does not outright kill him, he can regenerate) A severed limb can grow back in a matter of hours, he even regenerated his eyes once (witch is the only part that is not regenerateable by other trolls) that explains his fiery red eye color.

Bamboo´Chaa is a large troll, 8 feet tall (2.5 meters) and with the muscletone to match up with it, his straight and agility are impressive to most, he is really found of material arts but he is also highly trained with many weapons, mainly Glaives, spears, swords and bows. There are only few who have faced him in combat and lived. His Reputation for being cruel and merciless is not fiction.

But his greatest powers lie in his knowledge of Voodoo and shadow magic. He has gathered many wards and trinkets who empower him, his uniform and battle armor is a weapon on it´s own.

One of his favored things to do (beside brutally maim the enemy with his bare hands) is causing hallucinations upon the enemy.

Pets and Companions
Zuuluz: Zuuluz is Bamboo´Chaa´s riding raptor and 'Chaa is quite found of him, it took him years to find a suitable steed due to his size. It took Bam many tries to tame Zuuluz for the raptor was already a adult but in the end it worked out. Zuuluz is now a elderly raptor, quite fat and lazy and not as fast as he used to be.

Voo: Voo was Bamboo´Chaa´s first pet, a boar Bala´Chaa brought home from the north and gave him. few years later the boar was killed in a fight, blown apart by a the first Dwarf Bam had ever encountered. Now Bam can summon his companion´s spirit though a simple Voodoo ritual, it takes the form of the boar´s mangled remains and charges into battle.

Family Background, The Tale Of Bala´Chaa
The troll Bala´chaa was a adventurer and a Headhunter within the Darkspear tribe. as a youngling he was quite good at getting himself in trouble and danger, His parents had hoped that he would outgrow that but it just got worse. He was then married against his will to a girl his age called Yu´Jahi. The newly weds we´re not to keen on this, after all they both wanted to head out and seek adventure but it was that desire that lead to their good friendship. They we´re sometimes physically drawn to each other (which is a complete nature for trolls) but nothing more.

Few years passed and they grew apart until the day Yu´Jahi learned that she was pregnant. she knew this child was not Bala´chaa´s for she had been raped violently few weeks before.

Bala´chaa had no idea of her being raped and the though of becoming a father got him out of the depression he had been fighting since the murlocks murdered his parents, Yu´Jahi could not brake his heart and tell him the truth.

And then the day came when Yu´Jahi gave birth to a son. Bala´Chaa saw that the child was not his, but unexpectedly he did not care, Bala´Chaa gave Yu´Jahi his promise to do all in his power so her son could grow up and to be a strong agile Troll, he became his god father.

few months later Yu´Jahi disappeared. Her corpse was found hanged in a tree not so far away. Bala´Chaa knew she had committed a suicide, she had been been depressed after giving birth to a child conceived by rape. This made Bala´Chaa decide that he would would raise Bamboo´Chaa as his real son and teach him the art of headhunting, he would make him a good troll, after all he could not be all bad, he was his mother´s child.

When Bamboo´Chaa came of age he learned the truth but for him it changed a little about how he felt for Bala´Chaa, ´Chaa understood that the old headhunter had sacrificed a lot for him, in his mind they are still father and son.

years passed and Bala´Chaa took ill, Bamboo´Chee knew he could no longer take care of the old troll that had followed him into exile. Bamboo´Chaa redeemed himself before Warchief Thrall and the famous Vol´Jin, Bala´Chaa was allowed to stay in Shadowprey Village and Bamboo´Chaa guided how to earn their trust.

Bala´Chaa got better once back again with the Tribe but his sight was fading a week after he lost it completely he died due to his old age and sickness. Bamboo´Chaa took his body and buried it on one of the Echo Isles His grave is marked with many skulls like a proper head hunter grave.

Note; Bala´Chaa´s Father was also a famous head hunter, Bobo´Chaa, through his valorous deeds the name of ´Chaa became respected and was passed on (trolls generally don´t have last names) from one generation to another and that marks the family as 'nobles´ (Nobles among trolls are more like ´famous´ than upper class)

Criminal Record
Clean, beside insulting the Warchief in the past.

Personal Notes
Proud owner of The biggest collection of shrunken heads in Azeroth.

Quotes:

Influences
Bamboo´Chaa is my main World Of Warcraft character. I began playing on a PvE realm called Tauralyon along with some real life friends, rarely poking my nose in on the RP realms. When my friends left the game I found myself tired of it too, hunting for the newest gear and such or be called a n00b was not interesting anymore, but RP was something I still had left to try out.

So I try out all the RP realms, finding SWC the best due to my RP with Ovex. I have now moved all my characters to this realm and I love to call it home.

Bamboo´Chaa was already level 70 when I moved him to SWC so I was quick to get his armor together and make him look interesting to others. Anyway, What made the character is something I did a while ago, I have a passion for comics and have been drawing daily for 5 years (its not much but I have a lot of other hobbies) I made a WoW fan comic With Bamboo and my fellow players as the main characters. The Bamboo in the comic was a troll who was thrilled by Engineering but rather lazy laid back, nothing like the Bamboo we see on SWC.

The Main RP influence Bamboo´Chaa is Darth Vader from the Star Wars Trilogy, a powerful, hands-on villain who was feared by both his enemies and allies, the true form of Lawful Evil, bending the world to his image by force.
