Personality
Gornul is a Dwarf
standing 3'6" tall. He has a short, scruffy beard,
brown eyes, and an air of humor about him. He is almost
always grinning at something, a trait which tends to
raise the spirits of those nearby. He generally is a
peaceful fellow, content to follow his friends around and
drink any ale that happens to be nearby. However, point
him at a threat to the Empire, and he'll remove its legs.
Gornul's family is in Zerdargia. He was an only child,
but had many friends to compensate. His father, Morty,
was a merchant with dealings throughout the Centripax and
Prime provinces. When he was old enough, Gornul began
helping his father with the business, and so has been all
over Centripax many times. Because Morty dealt with
members of all races, he never developed the
stereotypical Dwarven distrust and dislike for Elves.
Gornul, consequently, also has no prejudice against
Elves; in fact, some of his best friends are Elves.
History
When he was old enough
to leave home, Gornul wandered around for a while, seeing
more of the world than he had when travelling with his
father. Eventually, he ended up in Prime, where an old
business associate of his father gave him a small house
to stay in. After a few weeks in Prime, Gornul found a
recruiting center for the Alyssan Academy in Midpoint.
Intrigued, Gornul signed up.
When Gornul arrived, he was assigned to the cadet squad
Kappa, along with the others who had signed up in Prime.
During his time at the Academy, Gornul had quite a few
adventures. Two of his fellow cadets were kidnapped, and
he helped rescue them. He narrowly escaped death beneath
the city's cemetary along with another cadet, Drakmor.
His time at the Academy with the rest of Kappa forged
them into a team, bonded closer than family. Gornul
considers Kappa the brothers and sisters he always wished
he had. When Gornul and the rest of Kappa graduated from
the Academy, they were bestowed with the ranks of
Sergeants, the highest rank a graduating class at the
Academy had ever received.
After graduation, Gornul and the rest of Kappa headed to
Natura, where they assisted the local Guard in a raid on
a warehouse owned by the elitist Elf group, the Elder
Circle. Several Kappa were wounded in the battle, but in
the end, good prevailed.
After staying in Natura for a while, Gornul wandered
around, not really going anywhere. He eventually found
himself back at Prime, where he met up with the rest of
Kappa again in the Crown Inn. From there, Kappa headed to
Daltina, where they were nearly killed by a group of
undead while praying at a run-down church about an hour
outside of town. Darkscorpion was nearly killed, and
Gornul, thinking his friend was dead, smashed the evil
apparition that seemed to be directing the actions of the
skeletons.
Gornul participated in the Battle of Port Alyxandria,
though his memory of the events of the battle is hazy.
After the battle, Gornul headed with Danil to New
Coldmoon for a few days, and then to Paxia, where he
trained in Elementalism. After reaching the Initiate
level, Gornul departed again, feeling his wanderlust
calling him to the open spaces of the Empire once more.
Months later, as winter began to fall, Gornul found
himself returning once more to Midpoint. The city had
apparently been attacked. Gornul found himself meeting
his old friends from Kappa once again. As always happened
when Kappa met up, Gornul felt a growing sense of doom.
For when Kappa got together, trouble seemed to follow.
Gornul's story, for now, ends here. As more of this
Dwarf's life is roleplayed, this section will be updated.
