karkat:orcish(orog) oath of Heroism paladin, NG.
notes: a one eyed orog wearing hefty black iron armor, wielding khopesh and shield. he is a decisive leader both in war and after his clan's fall, adventuring. though the influence of men and women of other peoples had caused his wild and reckless style of fightig and leading to fade away, he is the most likely to put himself between his allies and enemies, he has a rare genetic condition called 'ogrilla' translated from orcish as 'blessed with fangs' making him grow teeth like bone structures across the entirety of his right arm and was involuntarily made a 'gruumshi' (orcish for crusader) because of it, having his eye plucked out during his training.
