Nickname(s): Rocker
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Race: Ork
Class: Blood Rager
-PERSONAL-
Cause of Death: Brain Hemorrhage
High Concept: A nobody who will become the strongest warrior there ever was.
Personality: Rodger is belligerent, prone to violence, and tends to act before words are even said. However don't mistake him to be some sort of brute of a bully: Rodger has honeed his thoughtless anger into a hone edge of spite, and is fully capable of thinking and planning a coordinated effort to utterly destroy anyone he feels deserves his fury, either through conspiracy or just his fists. But for all of his anger issues Rodger is not without his positive traits either. Coming from a rough life, he is protective of his friends and family, and he's an honest man. Not one for lies or honeyed words, but if he promises you something he will do it, no matter the odds against him or if he even wants to do it. He can also be quite generous in a rough sort of way. He's not one to give out kind words or likes being a shoulder to cry on, but he often does acts of kindness when no one can observe him, and instead of listening to problems he prefers to solve them. Ultimately Rodger is someone who will fight for what he believes in, and isn't afraid to get hurt doing so, making him a dangerous enemy but also a loyal friend.
Background: Rodger Lee was born to refugee parents. A war in his home country had his parents abandon what they had to find safety in another land, one where they lacked their wealth, where their education was considered useless, and for many of the natives they thought his people to be leeches and thieves. As a child he quickly learned of hate and prejudice as other children and even adults spewed obscenities and hate at him, and Rodger learned how to fend for himself when no one else would. He joined a gang when he was young in order to help his family, as this gang was willing to employ children for their operations. It was there that Rodger began his decent into the criminal life, where honor has little meaning but also why such honor was all the more important.
As he grew up, Rodger started developing skills that would help his career later in life. Unfortunately it wasn't an honest career of a lawyer or engineer like his parents wanted. No, Rodger simply muscle for his gang. They never developed beyond being a neighborhood watch, as they were often targeted by other larger gangs, with far more influence and resources. By now the war that had ravaged his home country was over, and there was little support for it's refugees now, and thus society turned a blind eye to their plight as gangs started pushing in and harming their community. Rodger and the others were forced to fight back, usually against thugs and hoodlums looking to take advantage of an unwanted minority, but just as often against bigoted officers of the law and corrupt businessmen who sought to exploit them. Rodger learned how to talk with his fists fast, how to take a hit or even treat a knife wound, and more importantly how to stand up for himself no matter who he was up against.
Rodger's only real escape from this world of violence was ironically through his boxing coach. Though Rodger had long since given up on formal education due to his criminal history, his boxing coach saw a promising career ahead of him if he stayed in school. It was thanks to his coach that Rodger was able to channel his more destructive impulses into a constructive outlet. However it was also through boxing that Rodger would meet his eventual end. Rodger had a promising career as a boxer, given his experiences fighting all of his life, but the rules of the street were not the same as the rules of the ring. People fought for their lives during gang fights and Rodger was able to win because he wasn't afraid to go all out against opponents who thought him an easy mark. But his enemies in the ring were just as determined as him, and far more skilled. One day during a competition, Rodger pushed himself too far. He went a full 12 rounds against his opponent without breaks, forcing his coach to let him keep fighting despite how weakened he was getting. One wrong move, and Rodger was struck square in the temple, bleeding out from a brain hemorrhage. Despite that he still managed to also knock out his opponent in a cross-counter, ending the bout in a draw. But his opponent lived to fight another day, while Rodger's story was cut short.

Skills and Abilities:
Skilled Fighter - Rodger has a (short) lifetime of experience fighting, so even without formal training he's got a good instinct on how to handle himself in a brawl. He's particularly good with hand-to-hand, as his boxing skills gives him an edge against opponents who rely more on raw strength and size, but he's also just as handy with a club or any other weighty weapon.Incredible Stamina - Rodger wins most of his fight by simply being tougher than his enemies. He can take blows that would cripple most and keep on trucking. Even outside of a fight, he's got a lot of energy to do things like running, jumping, carrying heavy shit, or simply being awake through long hours of the night.Keen Insight - Part of what makes Rodger a dangerous opponent is his ability to notice things that people are trying to hide or downplay. He's got a good sense of when something is wrong, and is especially skilled at picking up lies and half-truths. Lots of people have tried to trick him in his old life, and he's learned not to let himself be deceived so easily anymore.
Powers and Magical Abilities:
Blood Rage - Take Rodger's already impressive physical ability, and increase it exponentially to the point he can start doing magic through sheer feats of strength. Not only is his ability to withstand pain increased, Rodger also gains monstrous strength. However this power is not without it's drawbacks, as Rodger can only access this power in short bursts at a time, a minute at most. Additionally whenever his rage wears off he becomes quite exhausted. While still dangerous, this does leave him in a worse state than before so opponents who are capable of outlasting his rage may have an easier time taking him out once he wears himself down.Stone Fists - A magic ability Rodger is able to activate at will. He can encase his arms in magic stone, turning his bare hands into dangerous weapons as well as protect them from harm. This stone can shatter steel and withstand heavy blows from even warhammers and the like, and in a pinch Rodger can even shoot them at his enemies like cannon balls. Whenever he activates his Blood Rage, he can encase his whole body in stone armor or shape the stone around his fists into complex weapons like blades, spears, or even whips.Iron Will - An unusual magical ability that makes Rodger more resistant to magic and it's influences. While not an outright magic immunity, Rodger notably is able to withstand harm from spells more easily, and magic effects on his mind or body aren't as potent or he can at least shake it off faster than most. When he's in his Blood Rage this ability is even more powerful, allowing him to completely ignore some magic effects that aren't too strong or too subtle.
Appearance:
When Rodger appeared in this world, he came in with green skin and wearing armor. He's way bigger than he was when he was alive, which he's thankful for since he often had to endure insults about his height. Despite never having worn armor before he's quite comfortable in steel plate and rarely ever takes it off, even as it begins to stink. As an ork he's stands at 6'11, and would probably be taller if he didn't have a permanent slouch, something he retained from his human life. He is unfortunately hairless, another reason why he stays in armor, but retains some other familiar features from his past life such as his scars.

Theme Music:
Tropes:
Mighty Glacier - While by no means slow, Rodger relies on a combination of his relentless endurance and crushing strength to defeat most foes. Fast ones who rely on darting in and out he deals with easily, having the patience to drop them in a single knock-out blow. Fast, hard hitting foes will often be surprised to not only see him survive their opening volley but immediately retaliate with a bone breaking blow. Arguably Rodger's biggest weakness are opponents who wisely play the long game like him, chipping at their defenses while being able to withstand his own counter attacks and force him to burn resources faster than them.Jerk With A Heart Of Gold - Rodger wasn't raised in the sort of environment where being polite and courteous got you anywhere. Often described as abrasive and belligerent, but not without reason. Rodger stands by his principles and is willing to discuss his reasoning, typically just wanting whats best for himself. If he sees something wrong, he'll often look into it and if it's something he can deal with, he'll often lend a hand and be gone before anyone can say thank you. Just don't take his kindness as an open invitation to your problems his problems. He doesn't like it when people bother him about things he neither cares about, nor has any reasonable solution towards.The Berserker - While skilled in fisticuffs and capable of forward thinking, ultimately Rodger is at his best when he's able to go all in without a care for the short or long term effect. His most dangerous aspect is his willingness to sacrifice himself to take out his enemy, removing fear from the equation towards success. His berserker rage does tend to have him go overboard with the damage he inflicts onto others and himself, and in the heat of battle he can occasionally lash out at his own allies who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. But make no mistake, once Rodger starts fighting it's only going to end with at least one dead body.Dishing Out Dirt - A new power Rodger has obtained in the new world. He has limited earth-based magics, which represents his sturdy tenacity and blunt personality. Much like the rocks he manipuilates his powers are fairly straight forward at the moment, but with time and a bit of pressure, Rodger can turn his power this power into something greater.
