STRENGTHS
+ Force Sensitive: Horruk is Force-Sensitive, a relative rarity among Tusken Raiders, which gives him a leg up on his kin.
+ Fearsome: Tusken Raiders are often feared by outsiders, something that he and his kin often employ to keep outsiders away from their encampments.
+ Grant Me Your Sight: Horruk has formed a bond with his pet Bonegnawer through the Force, allowing him to see through its eyes for small periods of time.
WEAKNESSES
- Savage: The Tusken Raiders are typically regarded as savages by outsiders, often leading to fear, distrust, and violence.
- Unintelligible: To the average being, the Tusken language is an unintelligible series of growls, grunts, shrieking, and hollering, making it difficult for them to communicate with outsiders not familiar with the language or not accompanied by a droid with the Tusken language pack. Horruk has attempted to learn Huttese to remedy this.
- Untrained: Quite understandably, Horruk has no formal training in the use of the force or the basics of lightsaber combat. As such, his repertoire of Force Powers is fairly small and usually discovered by accident, while his lightsaber combat is aggressive but not based on any school or technique of combat styles and as such appears clumsy or savage to those with experience.
APPEARANCE:
Horruk is, beneath the robes and the mask, the same as other Tusken Raiders, with greyish skin and dark eyes faintly glowing purple from the Force. Most of the time, however, his body is hidden beneath thick robes and mask. In addition to the standard Tusken robes, Horruk also possesses several other sets, including cloaks as well as robes similar to those of the Tusken Shamans, dark robes, and ornate, ornamental robes in the fashion of the ancient Ghorfa.
BIOGRAPHY:
Grrh'orruk'rruk, often shortened to “Horruk” when spoken of by outsiders, is a Force-Sensitive Ghorfa and Shaman as well as chieftain of his own tribe, working to band together his people for their continued survival. Born as any other Ghorfa, something….different about him was realized when he was young. Although the term is not known to the Sand People, Horruk is in fact one of the few members of his species to exhibit Force Sensitivity, and because of this he is gifted with great insight and spirituality. He became the most revered Shaman of his tribe, and whispers of him eventually spread to other tribes. His Force Sensitivity eventually led a Sith to his tribe, and while his initial attacks against the outsider were unsuccessful, Horruk prevailed by unleashing the Force on him. With a howl, the Tusken held the Sith's lightsaber aloft as a trophy, claiming it as his own. This action earned him appointment to Chieftain of the tribe.
When the Confederacy took dominion of Tatooine, the Tuskens obviously took offense to this. Fearful for the future of his people, Horruk traveled to the highest rock formation he could find and meditated, imploring the spirits of the dunes to guide them. Minutes turned to hours, then hours to days. Just when he believed that he would perish atop that rock, a sandstorm rolled in and he saw...it.
Before him appeared the spirit in the form of a Bantha, one that seemed to fill the entire sky. It spoke to him, telling him that for the betterment of his people, his race, that they must seek out their roots, reclaim their ancient ancestry, cast off the mantle of Tusken Raider and become Sand People. Become Ghorfa. Horruk and his tribe now work to regain lost elements of their culture, such as Ghafsa and the Lost City of the Ghorfas, as well as several relics stolen and put in museums in the outsider's cities.
