Personality

Okem is a larger than normal Tauren, but can be quite caring when it comes to close friends. Due to his history, he has no problem with killing, and/or crime. He is rather friendly, and always easy to talk to in the right situations, but when someone crosses his path when he's in a bad mood, they'll know about it.

History

66 years ago, Okem was born in under the sky, as he was part of a traveling herd due to the centaur. The herd was a small group, roughly of about 30 Tauren, that had disbanded from the Thunderhorn clan. Supplied with skilled hunters, they had a reasonable supply of food, and could easily track to their destination. Shortly after being born, after living with the herd for at least a week, the herd stopped to rest, for close to 2 days. During the night, the camp was attacked by Centaurs, while the hunters were off gathering food, leaving behind a hunter or two, killing off half of the herd.

Okem's father, Beldore Bloodsky, fought to protect the tribe, using nothing more than a small, makeshift axe. He had managed to slay close to 3 centaurs that he caught unaware of him, but fell to the ground after taking several arrows across his back, and being beheaded in front of his wife and child by the centaur. His mother, Celtius Grasshoof, managed to hide him upon a nearby bush, without being detected by the centaur. She managed to cover his scent from the nearby animals, before being dragged away by the centaur, and slaughtered. A couple of the Tauren escaped, but a couple of hours after they fled, and the centaurs had moved on, a hunter of the herd returned, named Beldon Rockhorn, and found the child within the bush, while he was searching for remains from the slaughter.

The hunter walked through the barrens, carrying the child for days, before managing to find food and water at a small oasis. The hunter then attempted to raise Okem as his own, seeing as he had no knowledge of where the rest had fled to, and taught him the ways of a hunter, so he could survive. Beldon also described Okem's past to him, telling him about his family, and what happened shortly after he was born.

After about 38 years of traveling, and meeting various tribes, Okem showed no signs of actually becoming dedicated to religion, and to the Earthmother, due to being isolated from religion for so long, it was practically ‘foreign' to him. Eventually his stepfather passed away, so Okem traveled by himself, stumbling across the Bloodhoof clan, and settled down and lived with them for close to 12 years. During this time, Okem rediscovered some of his past, about when his herd left Thunderhorn, as there were some of their former members within this clan, and eventually helped them establish Thunderbluff.

Okem stayed in Thunderbluff for almost two years, before setting off to the newly built goblin town Ratchet that everyone had talked about. He eventually arrived here, and stayed for close to several months, before setting off to adventure the world.
