R'Oarc was a Half-Orc/Half-Elf bard from Rimeford. The adoptive daughter of T'Chuck, she loved to spend her time pushing his buttons, in a loving kind of way. She was also a member of the magical resistance against the Empire, believing that no one had the right to decide who could or couldn't use magic.

Appearance and Personality

R'Oarc was described as "an average little punk kid". Her clothing was pieced together, styled in a very punk way. Her hair was "big", but shaved on the sides, and she had pointy ears, orange-red skin, green eyes, and "ogre-like" orc tusks. After her death at the hands of Karnak, she stopped taking care of herself. She stopped brushing, showering, or changing her clothes. Described as smelling like "patchouli and sausages", she would only wear the clothing she died in: a long tunic sweater, and tattered leather pants.

R'Oarc liked to get into trouble and be a thorn in T'Chuck's side. She dabbled in a variety of musical instruments, including the dulcimer, the pan-flute, the vile(?), and the whiffle-stick (?). As the days went on, she became more and more chaotic, embracing the madness that's in all of our hearts.

Biography

Early Life

Not much is known about R'Oarc's early life. She born around the time of the Mage Wars, and her father's name was Steven. Steven was killed during the war by some Wizards, and T'Chuck, having failed to protect Steven, decided to adopt the orphaned R'Oarc. At some point after the war, T'Chuck and R'Oarc went on the run, in an attempt to avoid the Order. After running from place to place for a while, the two settled in Rimeford, a remote village far to the west of Drunkeros.

After meeting Lucee, and learning of the resistance against the Empire, R'Oarc became a revolutionary. She believed in Lucee's opinion, that magic belonged in the hands of the people, not just those in power. Against her father's wishes, R'Oarc would constantly do what she could to spark a revolution, even if just on a small scale. She would ask those she met if they "wanted to join her band", which became code for "start a revolution".

Along with her father and their new friends, she was forced to evacuate Rimeford following the Order's immanent invasion of the village. Together, they traveled deep into the mountains of the Whispering Peaks, and there, they found a kind of mirror village of Rimeford, called Mineford. The group decided to settle down here for a while. R'Oarc took up attending a series of carnivals around Mineford, and acquiring various new friends, whom she would invite back to live with her in the settlement. These included Kimmie, Heiguy, and (most horrifyingly) Stephanie. Stephanie was a fellow party girl who mysteriously died one day. R'Oarc took it upon herself to cast Animate Dead on her corpse, which began following R'Oarc around, always partying. R'Oarc also created a Bone Golem that she named "Graves", who would also follow her around and fight alongside her.
