I’ve made a few different Pathfinder Society play characters since my move to Portland and actually joining in society play. While this half-orc monk ended up in an online/virtual tabletop AD&D game with some friends, I’m looking forward to eventually bringing this version to the table-top for Pathfinder.

History
Zhuang Song (pronounced “Shwan Song”) was raised by monks of Xa Hoi, who had established a small monastery near Riddleport. His human mother, Shaena, was a victim of an orc raid on her merchant caravan. The monks took her and her surviving companions in and nursed them back to health. In the monastery, she discovered the orc violence and desecration of her body had left her pregnant and in continued poor health. Over the next nine months the other healed merchants left to return to their business and/or families. Shaena did not survive childbirth.
Despite his brutal heritage, Zhuang (meaning strong and robust) was adopted and raised by the clan. Growing up he learned the ways of Baihuquan, White Tiger Fist. The discipline in leaning the martial art helped keep the half-orc’s innate wild side at bay. Mostly. During a heated fight, Zhuang’s bloodlust may rise and while he retains the knowledge of his fighting skills, he sometimes lacks the mental fortitude to control his punches or recognize friend from foe.
At age 16 he was sent out on a pilgrimage. The monks believed that knowledge and exploration would help teach the apprentice better self-control and real-world situations. At almost a year of travel, the young monk has seen much and while he may be welcome home at any time, he does not believe himself ready and, instead, joined the Pathfinder Society so his understanding of the world and martial arts may continue to grow.
