Hranu Hawktotem

Hranu Hawktotem was a Shaman of the Earth Mother and leader of the Hawktotem Tribe. He died in the service of the Horde.

General


Hranu is about eight foot seven on a good day, and his weight is a bit under the average Tauren Male weight. While he is a bit thinner than most, one cannot really say that he is weak. He can contend with many Stonehoof or Ragetotem Braves. His fur is greying, showing that he's middle-aged, and has various scars on his body. He doesn't have much in the way of facial hair, nor does he have any piercings.



Scars




Over his lifetime, Hranu has contended with many enemies. Centaur, Quilboar, Grimtotem, Alliance -- if it threatened his people, you can bet Hranu has fought with it. Because of this, however, he has received a number of scars across his body. Most of them are smaller scars, ranging from normal weapons to spells. The smaller scars have mostly healed over time and grew back fur. They're not so easily distinguishable. The largest of the scars, however, can easily be seen.



There are seven large scars that are only ever seen when Hranu doesn't have any armor on. There are three on his upper torso; one directly in the middle of his chest, one above his right hip, and one more on the lower left portion of his back, right above his butt, and one scar on each arm and leg.



The scars in the middle of his chest and on each arm and leg are gunshot wounds. On each arm and leg, they were shot from far away, and engulf both biceps and most of his femur. The gunshot wound on his chest, however, was point blank and killed him on the spot. Luckily, less than a few seconds later, he was ressurected by Veritae, a Blood Elf Blood Knight, and she managed to close up his wounds and heal the more serious wounds. She brought him back to Dalaran, where she hired healers to patch him up even more. The Hawktotem then came to retrieve their Chieftain and he had had treatments of Druidic and Shamanic healing for many weeks after.



The scar right above his right hip was during what was deemed by Hawktotem: The Battle of Ghosts. The synopsis of the event was to defend the ancient kodo graveyard from the Humans of the Bloodied Ninth. A warrior managed to get his axe deep into him and make a very large wound. It was mostly healed immediately by Hawktotem Druids and Shaman.



The last scar is probably the oldest of all the large scars. On the lower left portion of his back, he was stabbed by a halberd. He was ambushed with a few of his loyal friends, by Grimtotem. 'Nuff said.

Ceremonial and casual wear


Hranu has one or two ceremonial and casual pieces of clothing that he wears. One of the first things he wears out and about casually and at ceremonies is his headdress. Sagapoe, the second Tribe Champion of the Hawktotem, made it out of Swoop and Plainstrider feathers and kodo hide leather. Ever since she disappeared, he's worn it. He has has a blue and black kilt that he kept ever since his Grimtotem days. He usually wears it without a shirt.

Cobalt Set
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">His cobalt set, or his "purple" set, is easily one of the most recognizible sets for a Shaman within the Horde. He requested that it be look like the High Warlord's Shaman armor, however, with small differences. He needed it to be made of Cobalt. It includes a mace and shield.

Vestaments of the Chieftain
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">This brown set is also another look alike set. Made by one of the Hawktotem blacksmiths, this old set was the first War Armor Hranu ever possessed. With it comes an axe and Shield. It's mostly akin to the Blood Guard/Legionnaire set of PvP gear.

Shadow of the Father
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">This set of armor is his fathers old set of armor. Remade by the blacksmiths and leatherworkers of the Hawktotem, it has been strengthened, tested, and made sure that it fits the Chieftain. The only piece of armor that wasn't apart of the original set was the helmet -- Hranu made it himself out of kodo hide and bone.

Overview
<p style="color:rgb(58,58,58);"> Hranu, face value, would seem like any other Tauren. Noble, honorable, kind, peaceful. When meeting others, he is generally respectful. When around allies, he is generally kind-hearted and can be funny. When around the Tribe, he is generally serious, stern, but in a fatherly kind of way. <p style="color:rgb(58,58,58);"> However, this is not the case. Despite what people may think of him, he was a Grimtotem. Aggressiveness isn't uncommon with him, and often shows his aggressive side in combat. The last year or so, however, has changed Hranu from a vengeful Chieftain to a Bloodhoof Chieftain, of sorts. He is still actively aggressive, but not cruel. <p style="color:rgb(58,58,58);"> Hranu has committed many atrocities in his life. More often than not, he questions himself when alone, and usually keeps these feelings bottled up until battle comes and he can let it all out. Regret isn't out of reach with Hranu, but he has only shown this side to intimate partners, or a select few of his Champions.
