Setting

• Setting: The world has always been one of mythical beings and fantastic creatures but time hasn't stood still. Generations of coexistence have pushed magic into the margins as technology rose to dominance. Skyscrapers shimmer with neon advertisements tailored to elves commuting to glassy high-rises, dwarven engineering corporations rival human tech giants in groundbreaking innovations. Dragons rarely menace the skies anymore, instead they're found on corporate boards or residing in penthouses while their hoards accumulate digital currency. Orcish enclaves have become tightly-knit urban neighborhoods in sprawling metropolises; goblin artisans craft bespoke gadgets in cluttered downtown workshops. Magic still exists but belongs mainly to an elite few who've monopolized its use for wealth or status. Smartphones buzz alongside potion brews at trendy cafés, subway trains glide past graffiti murals depicting satirical or rebellious messages from youth of every race.

Rukash “Rook” Duskryn

Rukash "Rook" Duskryn is an orc in his early twenties living in a modern world where fantasy races coexist with contemporary technology and rare magic. Despite the societal expectation for orcs to be brutish laborers, Rook is a deeply introverted, laid-back individual whose primary passion is creating lo-fi hip-hop beats. He navigates a world rife with prejudice against his kind, finding solace in music, marijuana, and the quiet anonymity of his online persona, "Duskmix." He possesses a gentle nature and sharp observational skills hidden beneath a physically imposing exterior and a perpetually chill demeanor.

Clothing

Rook typically opts for comfort and practicality over style.

Backstory

Born into a working-class orc neighborhood on the outskirts of town to traditional parents (father in demolition work; mother factory line), Rook grew up feeling disconnected due to societal prejudice against his kind. Quietly rejected typical orcish vocational paths after briefly enrolling in a community college welding program that drained his spirit. Rook embraced solitude in music composition.

Occupation

Works at the record store ‘Vinyl Fetish.’ Helps run the store for the elderly owner and does most of the day to day work in the store.

Residence

A small cluttered apartment located over a noisy dive bar. Space filled with stacked vinyl records, musical equipment patched up with electrical tape, shelves of music theory books dog-eared from rereading.

Relationships

Parents: Rukash Sr. (father, demolition worker), Nehri (mother, factory laborer). Love him deeply despite bafflement towards his creative pursuits. They’re not good at communicating verbally so mostly show their affection through acts of service. His mother makes him home-cooked meals and his dad helps with repairs. Online music followers (anonymous, known only via "Duskmix"): Appreciative fanbase unaware of his true identity. Boss: Melvin Graves, an elderly human man who runs a vintage record store called ‘vinyl fetish.’ He originally hired Rook to help unload a shipment but after talking with him about music hired him to work at the store.

Speech and Opinion Examples

A memory about His Father's Silent Support: "Dad came by the shop last week. Didn't say much. Never does. Just... fixed that busted shelf without being asked. Guess... that's his way of showin' he cares. Just wish sometimes... I could hear him say it." Expressing Uncertainty: "I'm not real sure if anyone would vibe with these tracks live... Feels safer just posting anonymously for now." On Prejudice He Faces Daily: "Most people see me comin' an' assume trouble. Gets real tiring prov'n 'em wrong every time." Reaction to receiving a care package from his mother: "She doesn't really get my music... or my choices. But every damn box of her home-cookin' says more than we ever could face-to-face. Guess love tastes like smoked boar stew now." Opinion on those gifted with magic: "Magic users... yeah they're lucky. Society built pedestals for 'em. Rest of us down here? We make our own magic however we can."
