Obor
Obor on D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/144035273
Born amidst the rugged terrain near the Brass Hills in the Bright Desert, Obor was raised in the Stonewatch Tribe—a proud community of Goliaths descended from ancient giants. His upbringing was harsh yet fair, defined by strength, honor, and the rugged simplicity of survival. From a young age, Obor demonstrated a knack for decisive action, never hesitating when others paused to debate.
One day, Obor's life took a defining turn. A nobleman passing through the region brutally punished Obor for standing against his bullying of the common folk. Humiliated yet undeterred, Obor vowed never again to allow injustice to go unanswered. His tribe saw this as a sign: Obor was destined to protect the weak and confront oppression wherever he encountered it.
This event elevated Obor into a local folk hero, celebrated in whispers and tales around campfires for his unyielding spirit and willingness to defend the downtrodden. Though he relishes the simplicity of action over contemplation, Obor holds tightly to two ideals: sincerity—never pretending to be someone he is not—and fairness, believing no one is above justice.
Obor travels now from village to village, welcomed warmly by common folk grateful for his deeds. Despite his heroic status, he lives humbly, often enjoying the comforts of simple lodgings and indulging perhaps too much in the tavern's strongest ale. This vice occasionally tests his resolve.
His encounters with spellcasters have been complicated. Raised to distrust arcane magicians, Obor views their power skeptically, though he's accepting of clerics, druids, and enchanted weapons, understanding their importance in the brutal landscapes of his home.
Driven by the memory of his humiliation at the hands of nobility, Obor relentlessly hunts down tyrants and bullies, fueled by an inner fire of vengeance and justice. Yet through it all, Obor remains pragmatic, eschewing grand speeches and moral debates, choosing instead to let his mighty deeds speak for themselves.
