Tower of Ascension

A towering and imposing figure, with muscles carved from years of training and survival in the harsh mountain terrain. His pale skin is marked with deep gray tattoos, symbols of his journey through hardship and spiritual awakening. His silvery hair is tied back, revealing a face that, while stern, often softens with concern and warmth for those around him. His storm-gray eyes reflect a deep sadness for the world he’s lost, but also a fierce determination to protect those he holds dear. Despite his warrior's physique, there's an undeniable gentleness in his expression when among his companions.

Tharok is fiercely protective, driven by a need to shield his companions from harm. He acts on impulse and intuition, often putting himself in danger for the sake of others. Despite his imposing presence, he is kind and gentle, always looking to reassure those around him. He thrives in the company of others, forming deep bonds quickly and fiercely, and believes in the power of compassion and strength to make a difference in a cruel world.

Born and raised among the goliath tribes in the frigid mountain ranges, Tharok was always known for his strength and unyielding spirit. When the cataclysm struck, his world was shattered—his tribe scattered, his loved ones lost, and the world plunged into ruin. Surviving in the fallen world of infertile arid lands and destroyed cities, Tharok faced hunger and poverty, often scavenging for food while witnessing the violence and desperation of others. He lost many friends and family members to the chaos, each loss deepening the sadness in his heart. Yet, he remained a beacon of hope for those around him, sharing what little he had and defending the weak against marauders. In this bleak existence, he found solace in the ways of the monk, training his mind and body to endure and master the chaos around him. When he was summoned to the Tower of Ascension, he was meditating atop a crumbling cliff, seeking inner peace amidst the turmoil, and now he stands as an Ascended.
