Biography
Vance Jericho was born 37 years ago to Thalia and Borgruk Jericho. With his mother human, but his father orc, he was destined to live a more difficult life than most. His mother died during childbirth and his father was forced to raise him on his own. He was born at his father's farm on a plot of land near but outside of Marketsville, Fair Wood. His father was very distant growing up, being an orc he had already dealt with enough trouble in life before his wife died.

Vance was a good worker and adjusted to his life well as a child, but once he reached adolescence he quickly developed an appetite for adventure and alchemy. Through the variety of herbs and roots his father grew, he learned to experiment and create minor mixtures from what he had on the farm. He decided to leave the farm at an early age, and snuck away from the farm with a knapsack full of an assortment of ingredients and all the things he felt he needed for his lifetime adventure. Much to his dismay, he learned too quickly of the treatment his kind go through at the hands of the ignorant. He began a life of solitary exploration and growth, discovering the art of black powder through his many hunts and alchemical experiments.

Personality
Vance is an easy-going but determined adventurer. He always follows through on his promises, but he has the wisdom to know which promises to make. He values loyalty above all else, and the few friends hes made so far in life he knows he can trust. He is also a very jolly and kind person, often spending time in taverns drinking in solitude or with whoever accepts a drink from him. He despises bigots, and considers ignorance a choice too often made by others. He's easy in social situations, but is very calculated in how he handles himself. He isn't quick to trust, so he very often puts up fronts with people he isn't very acquainted with. He always feels the need to stand up for those he sees are in bad situations, especially vagrants and folk that the general public would consider "outcasts".

His favored deity is Cayden Cailean, because of how he holds freedom and bravery above all else in life. Vance wants to use his talents and skills to emulate these traits as best he can.

Vance is openly pansexual, and has been seen hitting on barmaids and shacking up with grizzled old sailors for the night. It is implied that Vance has daddy issues.

In the campaign
Vance was introduced in Session Three, as a stranger in a game of Sevenbones with the rest of the party. Vance proved useful in tracking down Otto Skjeggstad, who had been stalking the party, and experienced a brief but passionate fling with Tinkerbot.

Vance has an 8" peen.
