There comes a time in every young cyclops life when he, or in rare cases
she (females being sacrosanct in cyclopian culture, they are seldom left
alone for long and never put in harms way) must brutally murder an elder. I
know, as a learned individual, this was hard for me to understand at first.
Imagine all that wisdom, the knowledge they could keep! Then again, cyclops
are not known for their witty repartee. So, in order to understand these
massive creatures and their culture, we must attempt to get inside their
heads, as it were and make due with the fact that as intelligent beings, we
may never fully comprehend their ways and must take them as they are. Trust
me, change is not something they take lightly.
One day, while spying a small collective (not truly a village, as their
dwellings are mostly taken from other beings, such as humans they've killed
and eaten, or fire giants who they seem to be friendly with, for whatever
reason) from a reasonably safe distance, in a bush, I saw a most amazing
sight. While I do not understand the language of these beasts, it was
obvious that a young cyclops, seemingly one of the larger in the collective,
was challenging an older cyclops. Now the older beast, he was a shaman of
some sort. He kept waving a stick about in the face of the younger one, who
laughed repeatedly at the older cyclops and made, what I can only assume,
was a very rude gesture to him. The shaman, incensed, called down the wrath
of their dark gods. After that, the fighting was shockingly brief. The
large, young cyclops lashed out, caught the older cyclops around the throat
and squeezed until a pop (audible from even where I hid) and gurgling
emanated from the older, now presumable dying, shaman.
A short time later, after screaming his laughter at the sky, the younger
cyclops, surrounded by his kin, wrenched the two large canines from the
mouth of the now, absolutely, dead shaman. Without a moments hesitation, he
shoved one and then the other through his lip. Ignoring the blood that
drenched his chin, he grinned horribly at the surrounding cyclops who
stamped their feet in approbation. The young cyclops, who now seemed to
have taken the role of the recently dead shaman, grunted something and a
bright light surrounded him, confirming that suspicion.
This passing of the torch, through the murdering of an elder is proof
positive that the cyclops are a fearsome and dangerous bunch. In fact, even
as I write this from the safety of my bush, I cannot help but to feel that
there is a cyclops hovering over meahda-- -The writings end here, the
missive covered in blood-
Description:
Everything about the being in front of you is massive. His height,
bordering on eleven or twelve feet tall at even his slightly stooped
position. The expansive gut, which protrudes around his middle section and
even the single large eye, that dominates the center of his head. His wide
mouth hangs open slightly, revealing large teeth, dominated by two
impressive canines that hang out over his mouth whenever he closes it.
Piercing his large bottom lip are two of those teeth, dangling to touch his
chin when he speaks. They look identical to the ones in his head, though he
has all his own, they must have belonged to another. Above that single eye,
is a thick eyebrow, that hangs low, occasionally brushing his cheeks on
either side. His head is bald, with scars and the occasional open sore
dotting the top, though if he knows or even cares, is difficult to say.
Down each muscled fat covered arm, a length of tattoos and piercings run.
The tattoos are incomprehensible, but the piercings are primarily of gold
and silver. In certain spots, some are missing, and a scar dots those
places
Two of those were me, weren't they? I can't remember I know for sure the ranger was one of my knights. I think the paladin might have been my justice, do you remember?

Honestly, I think they were. Lol. That set on a fire giant shaman is really ridiculous. Good fights, regardless of the set though.

Which set?

Yeah, Torments. On a Fire Giant shaman, vainglory, enhanced damage. It's really potent.
Necro'd this because I didn't notice he went. Was scrolling around the place and looked in on my characters, see if anyone was left.
He was fun to play, took a while to get the custom race. Enjoyed it.
