A hulking human with a broad back, thick arms, and a weathered face softened by an easy, disarming smile. Their dark blond hair is kept in a rough shoulder-length braid, threaded with small bone beads from old hunting trophies. Their gray-green eyes are alert and warm, and a crooked scar runs from the left temple to the edge of the jaw. They favor practical wool, patched leather, and a heavy fur-lined cloak, all stained by long travel.

Simple, cheerful, and surprisingly charming. Brusk prefers plain words, warm food, and honest work. They laugh easily, remember everyone's name, and offer practical help before anyone asks. They are slow to recognize sarcasm but quick to notice fear, loneliness, or a hungry animal.

Brusk Veyr was raised on the edge of settled country, where the roads thinned into spruce forest, stone ridges, and long stretches of wet grassland. Their family moved with the seasons, guiding merchants through dangerous passes and hunting enough game to keep travelers alive when the weather turned. Brusk learned early that a calm voice could settle frightened animals, lost children, and nervous guards. When calm failed, their size and an old iron-headed axe usually finished the conversation. A winter avalanche destroyed the trail camp where Brusk had lived for years, scattering their family and burying the route beneath snow and stone. Brusk survived by following a half-frozen river into the lowlands, carrying only an axe, a hunting trap, and a carved antler token from home. Since then, they have worked as a guide, caravan guard, and occasional monster hunter. Brusk joins adventurers because dangerous roads are still roads, and every road eventually leads somewhere worth protecting. Beneath the simple charm and booming laugh is a stubborn determination to find the scattered members of their family and rebuild a safe place for travelers who have nowhere else to go.
