Oof 'the Fist'

Oof "the Fist" is a character played by Oofo. He is a half-giant in search of wealth, strength and companions. He is also on a secret quest to find the love of his life.

Personality
Oof is an honest person, always speaking what's on his mind no matter the situation. He displays a lack of intelligence common to giants, and is often ridiculed because of this. He is not easily offended, though has a short temper.

He is very sensitive when it comes to himself, though he does not often let anyone know of this. He is quick to befriend strangers and is a firm believer in the "Warrior's Philosophy".

Abilities
Oof is a devastating close-range fighter. His normal punches are often compared to mace swings, and he often equips gauntlets in order to use this ability to the fullest.

He is much faster and stronger than any normal human, though his agility suffers as a result of his size. He is easily distracted, though can see through tricks in battle.

From Humble Beginnings
Oof was born and raised in the wilderness south of Rellekka. His mother was a Fremennik woman named Tanlah that enjoyed inflicting pain on others for entertainment, usually using her over-sized axe. Her intelligence was noticeably below average.

His father Golgad was a hill giant that lusted only for the heat of battle. He wandered the wilds looking for a worthy opponent. One day, they encountered each other. After a long story which is not the focus of this article, they fell in love and had a child.

During his infant years, his mother cared for him in the village of Rellekka, only occasionally seeing his father when he stopped by. His growth and developement was normal, though he was able to eat as much food as a grown man by the time he was five.

By the time that he had reached age ten, he was as large as a normal human adult and ate about twice as much. The children often made fun of his size and oafish features, as well as his lack of comprehension. His mother decided that it would be best if he left and joined his father.

Upon joining his father, Oof was forced to go through rigorous training in order to become "The World's Strongest". This training included fasting for weeks, being thrown off of waterfalls, and being beaten until he fainted. After years of intense training, Oof managed to defeat his father in single combat. And so, his father told Oof that he didn't want to see him again until he was a famous warrior. Oof was delighted to get away from the person that put him through so much, though cried shortly after leaving beginning his quest.

And so it began...

The Great Pirate Era
With the rediscovery of the Wushanko Isles, many people set out to sea in search of wealth, power and fame. Oof soon found himself joining a small pirate crew. They set off for the east with high hopes, finding danger and new companions along the way. Among these was a cyclops named "Jerry", whom Oof quickly became friends with.
