Juggernaut

The Oathsworn of Wrath. Worship of Wrath presents a unique challenge; how does one offer prayers to a deity that abhors such expressions and traditional forms of reverence? To embody him is the answer, to strive to reach his level and, one day, to displace him from his own throne in the heavens above. A juggernaut embodies a raw, destructive force; their Oath to Wrath signifies a commitment to one day exact vengeance to the god that refuse their prayers. To achieve this, they must master their bodies and eradicate every weakness they possess. Juggernauts can be convinced to fight for your cause, they do not value coin; instead they pursue opportunities.

Juggernauts have developed several schools of techniques to embody strength, they are mostly theme from animals. The bear school focuses on endurance, bear juggernauts are incredibly difficult to put down. The goose school focuses on expedient aggression, they are more hastened and always try to maintain dominance in the flow of combat. The bull school focuses on raw overwhelming strength, forgoing technique for sheer power. Boar Juggernauts are well balanced in speed and power. Piranha school focuses on dealing as much suffering to their opponents as possible, turning them into a red mist.

Oathbreaking Acts

  • Surrendering at any point; even in the most petty of activities like board games.

  • Begging; this could be begging for one's life or for coin.

  • Forgiving someone; retributions must be made and reparations paid, eye for an eye, tooth for tooth.

Tribulations

RED RAGE: Juggernauts may succumb to what many call red rage, this is a state where the juggernaut lost grasp of reality and fully succumbed to their emotions. Lashing out on everything, the only remedy is death. This is due to tapping into divinity when one's mind and body is not ready.

FOUGHT THE LAW: Juggernauts frequently oppose authority figures; it is in their nature to defy the law and pursue justice and themselves. A juggernaut will never back down from a challenge; to do so would be to violate one's oath.

DETESTED: Due to their destructive behavior, they are detested in most civilized societies and instead isolate themselves with their sects
