Description: Shenk is a large bulky half-orc his greyish skin is a little darker than normal and he clearly favous his orcish blood with thick bulging muscles, very prominent tusks and a surly attitude that seems to follow him every where. Other than the large number of scars associated with growing up in an Orcish tribe and fighting in an arena he has a number of brands and decorative scars and tattoo's that cover his upper arms, shoulders and chest. Almost all of them are done in a black ink, and tattoo and scar form what, for an orc, is considered rather attractive body art but only makes him look more ferocious to humans.

His tusks are capped with silver, and glisten in the sunlight his black eyes look out a little more intelligently than the average orc and he seems to be alert and cautious most of the time. His forearms are wrapped in black leather strips from wrist to just below the elbow, the impressive muscling making them seem to be on the verge of snapping most of the time. The jagged lines of scars and tattoo's are all that covers his upper arms till just below the shoulder where, when he is unarmored, the crudely sewn animal skins cover the rest of his shoulders. The animal skins are mostly wolf and bear but there does seem to be some lion stitched in there rather roughly indicating just how far Shenk has traveled in his short life.

When he is armed and armored it becomes very, very clear that Shenk is a powerful warrior and an adventurer with the usual loose ideas of what belongs to whom and what is required to remove it from them. His armor is a mastercrafted suit of black full plate, studded in spikes and made to look particularly intimidating. It appears to have been recently repaired from some fairly severe damage as well as modified to fit the larger orc, many newer lames and plates sit alongside older, duller plates and the spikes are not as even and well spread out as they should be. The biggest indicator that this is not his armor, or at least he didn't pay for it, are the symbols of Bane that are attached to the knee, elbow and chest. All of them have been defaced, damaged or obscured in some way, the smith did not remove them but it is abundantly clear that the wearer has no respect for Bane and his holy symbols at all....as if the fanged grin he tends to give you didn't give that away. Those who have seen the armor before have noticed even more additions, runes in silver and gold magically reinforce the weaker parts and have an almost elven look to them indicating the source of the enchantment that now enhances his armor. To round off his new armor he also added a mask that he had looted from the Zhentarim a skeletal mask that seemed to give him no noticeable powers, at least not as far as the others had seen thus far...other than looking even more terrifying than normal.

His long hair is tied in oily dreadlocks, knotted into amber beads that hang at the end of his hair and clink as he walks. He has a coarse wiry haired goatee that creeps under his jutting chin. His hands are large and covered in scars from fighting with every part of his body. At his waist two daggers are strapped, a sling is tucked into his belt and a pouch of stones and bullets next to it. Multiple weapons hang from his pack one of the greatswords strapped to his back is older its pommel is in the shape of the eye of Gruumsh and seems to stare over his shoulder as he leers at people, the handle is covered in black leather with golden rings every three inches and the blade has an elaborate set of Orcish runes carved into the length and doubling as a set of blood channels. Strapped behind it for the easier draw is another massive blade, this handle speaks of the sophistication and elegance of its creator, a drow made blade, its adamantine blade and rune carved length give away it's origin just as much as the delicate looking hand guard, none of this stops Shenk from operating it in a brutal and powerful manner slicing weapons and foes in half with equal ease.

Jutting over the other shoulder are a pair of short spears tucked into a leather harness, with a third almost always clenched in his hand. A heavy backpack hangs from his shoulder a number of items hanging from it including, silk rope, a bedroll, a sledge, shovel and an iron pot. The load seems to have minimal strain on his movements as he walks along. Ever the collector of eccentric items he has since added a golden ring on his right middle finger, broad and simple it glitters in the way that gold tends to against his darker skin. Wrapped around his shoulders is a dark grey cloak, a broach of elven design, with elven runes on it indicates that once again the same crafter has made it for him and it is tucked in under the various weapons and hangs from the shoulders of his full plate.
