Species
Dwarf
Appearance
Marrik is a broad-shouldered dwarf with cracked, sun-browned skin that looks like it has been tempered in a forge. His beard is thick, iron-gray, and braided with copper wire, but the left side is cleanly shorn down to the cheek, as if he lost half of it in a fire and decided to keep the wound as a style. He moves with a heavy, rolling stride that suggests great weight, yet he is strangely delicate when handling broken things. His knuckles are scarred white, his nose has been broken twice, and the faint smell of hot stone and old rain follows him everywhere. He wears a coal-black work coat over barbarian leathers, which is odd for a berserker until one notices the coat is patched with bright silk from a noble's banner.
“Low, gravelly, and deliberate, like stones settling in a tunnel. He speaks plainly, with sudden bursts of heat when something feels unjust, and he uses old miner sayings in place of poetry.”

Shoulders forward, chin slightly tucked, fists relaxed until tension snaps them shut. When thinking, he rubs his thumb across old scars on his knuckles. In anger he goes very still before moving like a falling anvil.
