Karma

Karma is a half-orc paladin, a knight of the Order of the Silver Shield.

Personality
Karma strives to live up to the ideals of her knightly order above all else. Firmly believing that it is the duty of the strong to protect the weak from the predations of the wicked, Karma means to prove to her new family that she is truly chivalrous and honorable. Her early experiences with slavery and loss have tempered her righteousness with a sincere kindness, and Karma feels tremendous empathy for those who suffer at the hands of evil folk and monsters.

None of her fellow knights would deny that a fire burns within Karma's heart, but this righteous anger is a source of deep concern for Karma. She despises her orcish heritage, seeing her kinsfolk as cruel and savage monsters consumed entirely by their rage. Whenever Karma feels even a hint of anger, even when anger is the righteous response, something within Karma always wonders whether her fury is a manifestation of her commitment to her ideals, or an irredeemable taint bubbling up from her orcish blood.

That self-doubt hounds Karma every waking hour: the fear that, underneath her shining armor, she is merely a monster.
