Backstory's and names
I had an idea not that long ago, what about backstory's? Then it came to me, "the titles given to Uruks from the game shadow of mordor would work perfectly" after thinking, why not names as well?
So this discussion happened, I would like if you guys (or girls, I'm not judging) souled give me a hand in makeing some backstory's for all these little gobblers and trolls, if you have an idea for a childhood or adulthood, please specify that it is so, I will also be taking names as well. As to start I will give some examples on how I wouled like it to look like if you can give at least one of the three.

Childhood: outcast- NAME was cased out of his tribe at a young age, he survived on his own and learn how to kill and get along with the wildlife, but never got used to his other tribe members later on.
+animals +melee -social

Adult: blood axe- after many ordeals, NAME has gained the blood axe and slaughtered all in his way, he/she seems to talk to it more than he/she would talk to his own brothers.
+melee -social

Name: Kruk

I do hope to get more content later on. Perhaps someone can make a prak-jaws in the future?

Note: I will also occasionally put up some of my comments when I can think of anything myself.

Just thought I should mention that those backstories suitable for multiple races may be included in future race mods as well :)

These ones that I'm writing are the backstories for orcs and goblins (The first one for orcs, the second - for goblins OR both races will have these backstories) and some names for the orc fellas. And no, I'm not a good person at creating characters, especially their backstories.

Adult:
Savage - NAME became a bloodthirsty maniac after witnessing a massacre of his/her tribe, in which he/she saw the death of his relatives. He/She kills every enemy in every the most brutal way possible at the expense of going completely insane, which affects the way he/she sees the society.
+4 to Melee, -6 to Social, incapable of Caring
Raider - The life of a raider is not the easiest one and NAME knows it the best. He/She has got a large amount of experience in this raiding "discipline", knowing the consequences of raiding the local villages of the other communities. Although NAME doesn't mind the company of fellow raiders, he/she isn't a social type.
+3 to Melee, +5 to Shooting, -4 to Social

Names: Kardoc, Vunlac, Gnash, Ogbur, Lorm, Oghtrak

Even though this one is for Orcs in The Hobbit and LOTR, I think it would be nice to include Warg Riders into the mix, even though pawns can't ride such animals.

Adulthood:
Warg Riders - Name was taught into combat with the addition of wargs. She/him didn't care much about the wargs much, but usually taught along side them. They had a liking for their weapons more than for their wargs, but NAME respected the wargs they were given, well, most of the time.

+7 to Melee, +6 to Animals, +2 to Shooting.

If you want a list of names and titles for inspiration a video made by a channel uruks hollow just released video that in short research had been done on all names and titles avalible and theres a link to them all compiled into a list (I didn't check it out but it could be useful?)

+8 Medicine
+5 Cooking
+5 Meele
