Votig

"Once ya was a selfish, pathetic waste of a dwarf. Now yer that, but yer drunk, too. How useless can ya be?"

- Marblearm

Votig Kegbringer is a 146 dwarven male who was born in the town of Marblebrook. The only son of innkeeper Meryn, he spent most of his early years helping out with chores and duties of that life. One day, though, Votig was stopping a relatively normal bar brawl, and his skill at taking blows to the head took notice of an ambitious scout for an underground fighting league. Votig jumped headlong into this new profession, and took the league by storm. For close to a decade he fought, and had amassed no small amount of fame and fortune from the growing sport. He even met the girl of his dreams - Sivia - who had been a longtime fan of his. After one last championship match on the anniversary of his debut, he announced his retirement. What wealth he had after his lavish wedding was immediately invested into his mother's inn, and there the family began their new and improved life.

Of course, his peaceful life was destined to be interrupted. Many years after his retirement, a young up and comer named Bassoic Marblearm was following closely in his footsteps. Deciding the only way to stop being compared to Votig, Bassoic challenged the older dwarf to a final match. At first, Votig declined, citing his many years out of the sport, but Marblearm wouldn't be deterred. Finally, his old recruiter came to him with a plan. He'd rig the bets, and Votig would lose - and be rich. He agreed.

The flaw in the plan, however, was that Votig was no great actor. An obvious loss led to great shame, and the elders of Marblebrook decided on his punishment: exile, until he restored his honor. With barely a goodbye to his wife and newborn daughter Keja, he set off into the world, eventually arriving in Ushad and meeting the other Children of Destiny.

Personality
A kind, sensible man. Votig was the voice of reason for The Children before his death. He took charge of his younger comrades and devoted himself to their protection, often staying up through the whole night to keep watch.

Unfortunately he was a troubled man due to his guilt and shame over what happened in Marblebrook, and this led to him rejecting his role as one of The Children and trying to remove the powers that the Maker had given him. He often argued with people he met and started several fights. His determination and anger at his situation may have led to his decision to stay in the arena for Judgment.
