Korrik Takt
Species
Tectonic Forged, Foundry-Tempered
Appearance
Korrik Takt is built from dense, dark basalt blocks fitted together with visible seams of pale mineral mortar. Thick copper hoops reinforce his shoulders, ribs, and thighs, each one scratched by years of hauling ore above open fissures. Behind a heavy iron furnace grate in his chest, a bright orange Star-Sand core pulses with the slow rhythm of a bellows. He moves with deliberate mechanical weight, yet his hands are unexpectedly gentle when guiding a swaying ore basket. His most arresting feature is the contradiction between his brutal mass and his careful precision. Before he speaks, the grate in his chest clicks twice, then he draws a long metallic breath that sounds like a forge taking fire.
“Low, measured, and resonant, with a faint furnace roar beneath each word. He pauses before speaking, his chest grate clicking twice, and gives warnings in the same calm tone he uses for greetings.”

Distinguishing Features
The iron grate over his Star-Sand core clicks twice before he speaks.
A narrow copper measuring strip runs across his left forearm, marked with the names of workers he has saved.
His basalt knuckles are polished smooth from years of handling ropes and frightened animals.
His furnace glow brightens in the presence of unstable stone, even when he has not consciously noticed the danger.
He carries a tiny clay whistle made by Pera Salk, absurdly delicate beside his massive frame.
Voice
“A deep basalt rumble with careful pauses, like a forge bellows opening between sentences. When angered, he does not raise his volume, he removes all warmth from it.”
Clothing
A soot-dark work apron hangs over his iron torso, secured by copper clasps. He wears a battered red waist sash bearing the mark of Burnt Shelves, a tool belt crowded with wedges and calipers, and iron-soled boots fitted directly over his basalt feet.
Body Language
Korrik stands with his feet planted wide, one hand often resting against the nearest support beam. He turns his whole torso rather than only his head, and his chest grate brightens whenever he detects danger. During moments of tenderness, he lowers himself to one knee so others do not have to look up at him.
