Mental characteristics

Personal history

As a mere baby Murk was abandoned in the streets of some nameless town in Steton. Instead of being a meal for the vicious monsters that live there, however, Murk was taking in and raised by a loving human couple. At age 6 his parents had their own girl, and Murk a little sister. At age 10... tragedy struck. A routine trip was ruined by a vicious gang of Goblins. They murdered his parents in front of him and the last thing Murk saw before he blacked out was his younger sister get dragged away, crying for him. When he awoke, nothing remained of his family. He then wandered on his own for 5 years, kicked out place after place, beaten and seen as a random monster. When all hoped seemed lost, a guiding light led him to the Floating Peaks of Steton, and through some miracle he was able to survive the harsh peaks and come across the people who lived there. Still not completely accepted, the townsfolk tolerated Murk and allowed him to stay. Even one of the Monks there took pity on him and showed him the basics of martial arts, and acted as a new family member to him. The day his sensei passed away, Murk took off on his own as an adventurer, swearing he would do everything in his power to help people get through their own adversities, just as he did.

Education

Murk's mother taught him the basics of cooking, and Murk's sensei decided it was more important for him to read and write like a true wise one... than it was for him to do basic math. He does know how to do mathematics it just...takes him awhile. Any other skill he has learned has been through constant trial and error he has gone through while on the road.

Mental Trauma

Because of Murk's family being taken from his from Goblins he has a bit of a distain for them. That is not to say he hates them all, Murk loves being friends with everyone, but if he were to see a group of goblins threatened some helpless folks, Murk would not show mercy. And due to his sensei being killed by chimeras and being the creatures that scarred his back, Murk has both a fear and rage for them.

Morality & Philosophy

Murk's goals in life are simply to see his friends happy and safe. He also lives by quotes his master taught him through the years: "Sparring with friends helps strengthen the body and relationships." "It's not good to rush into conflict without knowing every angle" "For a warrior, overthinking can be both a necessity and a curse." "Everything can be rebuilt." "Friendship and connections are ever expanding!" "You make a mess, you clean it best." "Good food is one thing, but people to share it with makes it all the more delicious."

Social

Contacts & Relations

Murk likes to make friends with most anyone he goes on missions with. But as of right now in his life, there are some he'd consider the closest and his new family.
Roland Price: One of the first people Murk adventured with and the one who showed him he could have a new home at the Grove.
Tai: Another one he first adventured with. Always happy to have Murk's back and his Best Buddy.
Mideine Starflower: The first person Murk told the story of his family to, and in turn they told their story to Murk. And Murk knows he can never hide anything from Mideine, for they care too much to let him.
Iavain Zaumitore: His girlfriend and the first person Murk has ever had romantic feelings for. He holds her deep within his heart and vows to do anything he can for her.

Religious Views

Follows his Lady Iass but will respect others religions and not push his ideals on anyone.

Mannerisms

Will almost have a big grin on his face, if not then that is a sure sign something has greatly upset him, weather it be his past or something tragic currently happening.

Hobbies & Pets

Brown, short-haired kitten named Grace.

Speech

Will do his best to try and give wise sage advice, but will be scared of saying the wrong thing.

A simple half-orc, abandoned as a child he simply wants to help. Because of his orcish strength he thought it'd be cool to learn the way of the monk. Now he goes around helping those in need, paving out his own path.

Savage Attacks- When score a Critical Hit with Melee Weapon, can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit

Class Features

You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn
Total Ki Points- 5: You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your Ki points. Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier= 14
Flurry of Blows- Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 Ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action
Patient Defense- You can spend 1 Ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn
Step of the Wind- You can spend 1 Ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
Monastic Tradition: Sun Soul
Radiant Sun Bolt: You can hurl searing bolts of magical radiance. You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die is a d6. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table. When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 Ki point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action. When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.
Deflect Missiles: You can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 Ki point to make a ranged attack with a range of 20/60 using the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack
Slow Fall: You can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level.
Extra Attack: You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Stunning Strike: You can interfere with the flow of Ki in an opponent's body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 Ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
