Appearance
Skard is a towering figure standing over seven feet tall, with pale grey skin and dark, geometric tattoos across his shoulders and jaw. He wears heavy chain mail under a thick cloak made of tundra wolf fur. His eyes are the color of a stormy sea, and he carries a massive, circular wooden shield reinforced with cold iron, which shows deep scars from countless impacts.
Mannerisms
Skard often rhythmically thumps his chest with his shield when greeting an equal or emphasizing a point of honor.
Personality
I am a wall of stone against the wind. I speak in short, purposeful sentences and value actions over long speeches. I find comfort in the physical presence of my allies and feel a deep sense of duty to stand between them and harm.
Ideals
Loyalty. The strength of the clan is determined by the strength of the shield wall. We stand together or fall alone.
Bonds
My shield was a gift from my chieftain, and I will see it returned to my home only when I have proven my worth in the lands below.
Flaws
I am slow to trust those who do not understand the weight of an oath, and I often forget that not everyone is as physically resilient as I am.
Quirks
Background
Skard Frostbane was born in the frozen altitudes where the mountain peaks touch the sky. His clan, the Shield bearers of Valhalla, acts as the primary defense against the encroaching giants that threaten the lowlands. From a young age, Skard was taught that a shield is not a burden but a promise to the person standing next to you. He earned his tattoos by standing firm during the Siege of the Frost Spire, where he deflected three consecutive blows from a hill giant club to keep his wounded siblings safe. Following a vision of a great encroaching shadow, Skard left his home to offer his protective services to the world below. He believes that the ancient oaths of Valhalla require him to protect all who cannot protect themselves, regardless of their bloodline. He carries a massive shield made of heartwood, believing it to be a piece of his family hearth that he carries into every skirmish. He seeks to find worthy souls who can hold the line against the darkness he saw in his dreams.
