Contrary to what I’ve already said and done, I now am going to be making daily entries for the 28 Days of Character Development challenge here on WordPress. My main reason for doing this is to better organize any comments I receive. I am still making a list of all the entries that I post on my 28 Days of Character Development page. I also gave Grawnk a birthday and an age.
Full name: Grawnk’s full name should be that of his father’s, Grawnk gro-Baladrag, but he wants nothing to do with his father, or his father’s name. Grawnk takes his mother’s last name instead: Grawnk gro-Uramel. However, since arriving in Skyrim, Grawnk chooses to only go by Grawnk. He is his own man, or Orc, now.

Age/Date of Birth: 28 / 4E 173, 31st of Sun’s Height
City or town of birth: Orsinium
Job/work: Nothing permanent, but being a blacksmith has funded most of Grawnk’s travels.

I am really excited to get to know Grawnk better.
So is the author.
The questions you put to Adrian were so good I felt I had to return the favour:
- What inspires Grawnk the most when writing music? Heroic deeds? Glorious battles? Love?
- Grawnk does not exactly fit the Orc stereotype, being a skinny bard and all. Does he ever resent his heritage and perhaps even wish he was born another race, one more accepting of his romantic ideals?
- Is Grawnk pro or anti-empire? Does he have strong political views or is he just happy to go along with the status quo, so to speak?
Thank you! Your questions are very thought-provoking, and well-formed. I really can’t wait to start answering these.
Yay now we know when to sing happy birthday…This will help me keep up with the challenge, I look forward to knowing more about Grawnk.
Woot woot!
