 * Typical Armor: A pair of spiked gauntlets, a faceless helm, tanned leather boots, and a partial iron chest plate that still exposes his chiseled 12 pack of monstrous abs.


 * Typical Clothing: A simple pair of brown linen shorts.
 * Quantified Strength: Malice can dead lift 400 lb. over his head, which increases to 700 lb. while in a rage. When properly packed and worn about his body, he can bear an equal amount weight for an extended period of time whilst still remaining an effective combatant.


 * Blood Rage: Increases user strength and toughness as part of a Berserker-like state. This state lasts 10 turns (1 minute) before he becomes fatigued. Ten minutes of rest are required to overcome this fatigue.


 * Ki Strikes: Malice can make 6 "Ki" strikes before depleting his Ki.  It takes 10 minutes of rest to recover the Ki needed for 1 strike, and an hour to recover the Ki needed for 6 strikes.

The Jarring Dream
A hand arose as flames licked across wood and stone, the charred smell of Orcish skin and the sizzling sound of flesh crackiling from sinew and bone. My hand - My pale little Orcish hand reaching out toward my only family, my Aunt of orcish descent. Bronze pupils dialated and watched the axe fall to claim her skull. The feel of cold iron pinched my flesh next, and that windy cage esconssed me as it rode toward the slave markets. Suddenly, I jarr awake! I look down at my hands stained with man-blood as they are, and the cold irons clasping my wrists remind me as my servitude as my hands speak my victory. I awaken to the thought of blood and sand each day, but still I remmber that raid - that capture. My rage remains fueled so I must bid my time, waiting until the day I have my chance to pay this human scum back for what they have done to me. This is my story, my fall, my rise to glory only for the sake of revenge. This is the story of a boy named Malik who hails from the Darkblood Villages, and the story of the Gladiator name of Malice.
