SHAA RHUNN
Gender: Male
Age: 47
Race: Minotaur
Nationality: Kings Valley
Appearance: Shaa stands just shy of 8” tall. Weight 600 lbs. He has a typical bull head of a Minotaur with brown and black fur covering most of his body. His horns are 4 feet in diameter tip to tip. His horns have runes carved into them that look carefully done and have a soft green glow in the dark. He walks on cloven feet and a 4 foot tail that has a slight curl on the end. His tail swishes when he gets bored.
Shaa bears several deep and painful looking scars on his snout, hands and legs from years of traveling and adventure. His eyes are are unusually blue which does not impair his vision but can become unnerving if he stares at you too long. Shaa has a prominent scar over his left eye. A chunk is missing from his left ear.
Mastery of all of the elements has made him larger and bulkier, his body changing with the element he uses. Despite his branching out, he still has a special affinity for the earth domain as it is what he had studied most of his life.
Personality: Despite his generally affable nature and intimidating size, Shaa does not like drawing attention to himself unnecessarily. He is much more comfortable traveling on the road or talking one on one vs spending extended time in cities or crowded taverns. He has a great sense of humor. He gets in trouble because of it as it is regularly accompanied by some sort of extreme violence.
When faced with a conflict, Shaa’s first instinct will always be to try talk it out first. Even when insulted, which happens frequently due to being a Minotaur, Shaa will most often threaten or intimidate a person into backing down vs attacking them outright. As a result, he has become an expert negotiator to get what he wants. However, if negotiations fail and he is backed into a corner, Shaa can turn overly aggressive and will continue to fight until there is no one left standing. Sha prefers hand to hand combat in these situations which tend to occur more frequently than he would like.
Shaa has a soft spot for children, especially orphans due to his own past. He has been shown to temporarily “adopt” people he perceives as legitimately needing him. This has also lead to him being a mentor for several people including several new recruits in the fighters guild.
History: Shaa’s true birthplace is the Ashlands. As a child, his parents were murdered by their best friend and he was sold into slavery to the nomad tribes of Kings Valley. The tribe he was sold to was eventually slaughtered and he was left to wander alone and survive in the plains. He was eventually found as a child wandering the hills of Kings Valley by a group of Centaurs who were on a pilgrimage to a shrine for Ginma known as the Nomads Stone.
When the Centaurs found him, Shaa was able to lead the group to the shrine past the wandering tribes of the plains. They took the incident as a sign from Ginma and decided to take Shaa in to teach/ train him in the ways of the world. This included reading, writing, history, fighting and magic. The head of the group, Darius, took a special interest in him and gave him the name Shaa Rhunn, which means “ Walker of the unending path” To this day, Shaa regards Darius as the father he never knew. Shaa later on was able to connect with the spirits of his dead parents and learn his true history.
Shaa followed and trained with the Centaurs for the next 10 years, traveling across most of the continent, even into lands not normally accessible to the casual traveler. Eventually, Shaa decided it was time to go out on his own. Before he left, each of the group carved a an ancient protective rune into his horns so that he would always know that they were with him.
After years of traveling, Shaa eventually joined the fighters guild because of stories that he heard from the Centaurs when he was younger. He was apprenticed to the Guild Leader Athena who ended up teaching him some of his most devastating techniques. Shaa was shocked when Athena never returned from a personal errand. Knowing that she was more than capable of taking care of himself, Shaa watches over the fighters guild until he can either find her or she returns on her own. Recent events have given Shaa hope that he will find her soon.
Update:
Shaa discovered that Athena had been kidnapped by the leader of a group of bandits known as The Hand. He killed their leader and was able to return Athena home to the guild. The consequences of her imprisonment are still being discovered.
