Appearance
Barbarian appears like a storm given a body, broad-shouldered and scarred, with skin that looks carved from rain-washed basalt and glimmers faintly with ember veins when angered. Their presence is physically unsettling and strangely comforting, as if standing beside a cliff during thunder. One eye is a bright copper gold, the other a pale winter blue, and both seem to judge truth more than faces. They move with a predatory stillness that can snap into explosive motion, yet they wear a threadbare shawl embroidered with tiny flowers, a soft contradiction that makes them seem both war god and village aunt at once.
“Low, gravelly, and deliberate, with sudden flashes of dry humor and a habit of turning threats into vows..”

Distinguishing Features
A crack of silver lightning runs from collarbone to wrist and glows when they sense betrayal
Their left hand is missing two fingers, replaced by a knotted bronze ring fused to the knuckles
A small scarred flower tattoo sits behind one ear, a token from a druidic pact
They wear a chain of broken signet rings from oathbreakers they defeated
Their shadow sometimes looks a fraction larger and horned in firelight
Voice
“Thunder over gravel with a surprisingly soft edge when addressing the wounded or the faithful”
Clothing
Layered travel leathers beneath a faded ceremonial mantle stitched from camp banners, prayer cords, and scraps of old battlefield cloth; iron bracers etched with vow-runes; heavy boots caked with road dust and dried river mud
Body Language
They stand with weight centered low, like a shield planted in the ground, and their hands never fully relax. When listening, they tilt their head slightly as if hearing distant drums. In anger, they go very still before moving, and that stillness is more frightening than shouting. When pleased, they grin with one side of the mouth and tap two fingers against their chest in a private blessing.
