Did a speed drawing yesterday of Oskhar with his new god Gruumsh! Gruumsh is the Chaotic Evil deity of the Orcs and is a red-eyed cyclops.

Get to know the Fail Fam! Let’s start with Oskhar! Chuck this post a like or reblog if you’d like to know more! 💚

—

1. Oskhar (Inspired by Tusk Love from Critical Role)

2. Half-Orc Cleric (Forge Domain)

3. So! His look has actually changed recently! Oskhar has been green with straight dark hair for his entire life, but he was corrupted by the Patron God of the Orcs Gruumsh in a trial gone wrong. This turned his skin grey, his hair more wild and one eye became black as the other turned blood red.

4. He’s 26!

5. Oskhar is a very kind and considerate personality, he’s usually quite chatty, and gets chattier the more nervous he gets or the more awkward a conversation is. But because of the corruption, he’s struggling with what it all means and is more reserved for the time being.

6. Oskhar basically lives in his Cleric robes, it’s the uniform of the Temple he grew up in and it means a lot to him.

7. Oskhar has WAY too many friends 😂 I’ll start with his hometown friends/family:

Kharrim: Head of the Temple that Oskhar grew up in, Kharrim is his Father figure who he tells everything, he’s a cheery outgoing person.

Raelynn: a fellow Cleric of Moradin, she’s like a big sister to Oskhar, but she’s a menace. Likes flirting and any kind of illicit activity.

Bavrün: another fellow Cleric, but he’s working in the Archives Department. He’s like a Brother to Oskhar and he’s quiet and a little awkward.

Hildegard: a Cleric Captain, she’s a sensible person who’s a natural leader. She’s like an Older Sister to Oskhar and he looks up to her a lot.

Higgins: Oskhar lived on the streets until he was 14, so fellow street rat friends became his family during that time. Higgins is a tinkerer and is perpetually curious.

Samira: A fellow street rat, Samira is a patient, nurturing and motherly personality and currently runs the Inn of their hometown.

*fun fact! Oskhar made his Street Rat friends silver pendants when he first started as a Cleric of Moradin.

Within the party, Oskhar is closest to Zik’t, the two met in his hometown and have been best friends ever since.

*runs up and hugs Zik’t a little too tight*

You know I despise any form of Physical Affection right?

I know. *Holds Zik’t*

... *is held*

19. Love Life! Oskhar had a girlfriend a few years back! Meet Guinevere! She was also inspired by Critical Role’s Tusk Love, and the two were together for a few years before Guinevere had to move to another continent to take over her family’s trading business. 

Oskhar misses her everyday and writes her letters even though he can’t send them because he doesn’t know where she is exactly...

20. Oskhar doesn’t have any other family that he knows of.

21. Thoughts about gold:

GOLD CAN BUY YOU FOOD! AND DRINKS! Thats all I need in life. Especially bread, cakes and ale.

22. Despite being corrupted, Oskhar still believes in Moradin. Those who follow Moradin place emphasis on intelligence, being good natured and craft. When you create something, it should be for the betterment of others.

23. Enemies: HOOBOY WE JUST GOT A STELLAR VILLAIN! Her name is Sin’Hera, and she is one of the leaders of the Escrava. The Escrava is the organisation responsible for the initial capture of the Fail Fam, and intended to sell them as Slaves.

Sin’Hera is so boss, she had us all come in for a meeting under the guise of ‘tying off loose ends with the Escrava’ to which she contracted us to find one of her agents. In exchange, she’d give us information on Assana’s location.

Dyair threatened her, and in response, she lined up some slaves (that were all counterparts to our party! A Half-Orc, a Water Genasi, a Fire Genasi, a Tiefling and a Human- No Aarakockran as they’re too rare) AND STABBED AND KILLED THE FIRE GENASI AS A POWER MOVE IN FRONT OF US!

Ugh such a kween I love her character so much!

24. Oskhar really looks up to his father figure Kharrim, and his pseudo older sister Hildegaard. The two embody the confidence he wishes he has and are kind to all.

25. Fondest memory is when he made his first forged item when he was 15! He made a sword in his first year of training to be a cleric and he was so excited! But it was very dusty in the forge and that didn’t go too well for him...

And yes that’s how he got the scar on his face 😂😭

26. His biggest flaw is that he doesn’t allow himself to process his emotions. He just hides it all behind a smile and a cheery exterior. If people try to talk to him to get him to open up, he’ll just deflect the conversation so he doesn’t have to talk about himself.

27. Oskhar believes that deep down he is a good person, and that his sole purpose in life is to bring joy to those around him. But this sometimes results in him forgetting about himself.

28. He knows Common, Dwarvish, Gnomish and Orcish.

29. Oskhar’s greatest regret is not following Guinevere to the other continent.

30. He‘s a fairly open book, but he’s covered in scars, and he prefers to keep most of them secret by wearing long pants and sleeves.

Here’s an early drawing of a semi naked boi to end it off ahah! Just a few bumps and bruises...

And that’s it!! Hope y’all enjoyed getting to know Oskhar!

It was nice to meet you all! Hope you enjoy hearing about the rest of our group and hearing our story!

Darn that 10 image limit! Anyways here’s more Oskhar info: 

8. Oskhar’s goal is to become a Hammer of Moradin. His Faith is very hierarchical, those who are clerics of Moradin are known as the Sonnlinor.

The Sonnlinor have strongholds in every Dwarven settlement and boast many acolytes, ranging from everyday Priests, to Clerics, Captains and Hammers. Hammers are second in the hierarchy only to the High Council, and are akin to being holy knights or generals and are a position of great honour in Dwarven society.

9. Oskhar is our Group’s lone Lawful Good. I’m sure some of y’all know that pain.

10. His reason for adventuring was originally to make it back home after being kidnapped by slavers. After making it home, he was put to a trial to see if he could become a Hammer. This went horribly wrong and he got corrupted by Gruumsh! So now he’s looking for information on this god.

11. Due to Oskhar growing up in Dwarvish society and being a Half Orc, he’s dealt with a lot of cruelty. This was made worse by the fact that ever since he was little he’s experienced fits of rage, in times of stress, Oskhar is prone to possession from the Orc God Gruumsh and he can’t remember anything afterwards.

This makes others wary of him, and many see him as a monster. His worst fear is becoming the monster that so many others see him as, and this has been made worse due to the recent corruption.

*fun fact! The Orc God Gruumsh is a cyclops with a big red eye - kinda ended up being really similar to Uk’otoa haha! (uk’otoa...uk’otoa...)

12. On a lighter note! Oskhar’s hobbies include making Jewellery and Forging.

13. Oskhar seems to have found himself as a sort of Leader of the Fail Fam...

I honestly don’t understand why everyone keeps making me talk! I’ve got negative charisma!

14. Oskhar is very talented at DRINKIIIINNGGG! 🍺🍺 He can drink waaaay too much and makes the most of that +5 Con 👌

15. His hometown is Bhel Kalduhr! It’s a Dwarven town that’s built into the side of a mountain!

16. And time for more drawings! Here’s Oskhar’s parents: Tholg and Auriella! Tholg is a warchief of a clan of Forest Orcs, and Auriella is the only Daughter of a Noble family. Oskhar definitely looks like his Mother!

17. Oskhar doesn’t have any siblings (that he knows of)
