Overview
Crag Dorok is Stone Armor/War Mace hero from the Virtue server, played by @Dyne. He is a refugee from the world of Ardhine
Biography
The dimension that Portal Corporation refers to as Phi X-2 -- known to its inhabitants as Ardhine -- is a world where potent magic and rediscovered ancient super-technology hold equal dominion, where monsters assault those brave enough to travel the wilderness, and where most journeys are therefore via the vast network of elevated roads, by airship flight, or by giant domesticated ostrich.
Arokine is a kingdom on Ardhine. Crag Dorok was a bright young Captain in the Royal Guard of Arokine, until the corrupt Vizier Somomon usurped the throne, and the rightful ruler, King Cecil, was forced into exile on pain of death. During the coup, Captain Dorok was captured, and along with other prisoners, was subjected to horrible experiments. By exposing a person to Ar-Tsuna energy, thereby binding elemental spirits to them, these tortuous experiments were intended to help create an army of super soldiers. In Crag's case, he was imbued with the strength and durability of stone.
When Portal Corporation opened a test portal into the research labs, Dorok led a few prisoners (including Siara Leonidas) in a daring escape to the other side of the portal. After arriving in Paragon City, they were soon granted refugee status. Crag and Siara registered as heroes soon after, planning to undergo the lengthy Ardhinian rite of passage known as "levelling up" before returning to their world to confront Somomon and restore King Cecil to his rightful place.
Notes
As the astute reader will have suspected from descriptions of his world, Crag and Siara were intended to be a parody of characters in the Final Fantasy series. There were a lot of little references to Final Fantasy. For example, Ardhine's portal corp designation, "Phi X-2", is derived from "Fi(nal fantasy) X-2". Another example is the character's name follows a similar pattern as Final Fantasy protagonists like Cloud and Squall.
Crag was mostly roleplayed for amusement value, and his dialogue was also sprinkled with FF references, such as bemusement that people of earth didn't adopt "large avian transport", as it would be much safer than walking. (In many FF games, Chocobo riding -- the FF version of horseback -- renders the player completely immune to attack.) He claimed that his travel power was "Ostrich", and his theory regarding Paragon's severe villain and monster infestation was that the city and its roads had simply been built too close to the ground.
