Species
Human (riverfolk heritage)
Appearance
Trim and lean with the sun-leathered look of someone who lives by water, he moves with a quiet, reedlike grace that reads like a practiced current. His cloak is threaded with small glossy river mussel shells kept for luck. He carries a longbow made from a single strip of blackwood with a faint silver inlay that maps the bends of the river near his home. Unexpectedly, one of his front teeth is filed into a neat notch and painted a dull green, a childhood promise to a river witch he still honors in private. When he stops walking he often seems to float a half-breath above the ground as if listening for the river beneath the earth.
“Soft spoken with clipped consonants, often using river idioms and metaphors; his tone becomes a low, steady cadence when telling lore.”

Voice
“Low and river-smooth, rarely louder than a whisper; occasionally a rough laugh that sounds like dry reeds”
Clothing
Dark green studded leather jerkin over a hooded cloak sewn from weatherproof canvas, boots wrapped in oilcloth, a bandolier of arrows fletched with river-heron feather, and a woven sash of pale reeds that hides small pouches of herbs and fishing hooks.
Body Language
Pauses mid-sentence to study the air and horizon, often tilting his head like a heron. When uncomfortable he folds his arms like wrapping a blanket around himself. His fingers drum water-motion rhythms on nearby surfaces while he thinks.
