Roadhand Speaker Bramm
Species
Goliath
Appearance
A towering goliath with slate-grey skin patterned like fractured riverstone, Bramm seems carved from a mountainside and then taught to laugh. His body is broad through the shoulders and waist, with the dense, practical strength of someone who has hauled stone, braced collapsing tunnels, and slept beside wagon wheels. Pale scars cross his forearms, knuckles, ribs, and back in orderly bands, more like a record of occupations than a collection of dueling trophies. His sharp eyes rarely settle on the person speaking. They move instead to exits, load-bearing beams, hands near weapons, and which exhausted worker is pretending not to listen. His hands are enormous, callused, and permanently darkened in the creases by glass dust and iron filings. He moves with surprising quiet for his size, placing each boot as carefully as a thief crossing a sleeping camp. The unexpected contradiction is his smile, small and almost delicate, which appears whenever someone makes an especially clever argument or an especially terrible pun.
“His everyday speech is low, dry, and economical, with long pauses that make people fill the silence themselves. In council chambers he uses careful honorifics and exact contractual language.”

Distinguishing Features
His eyes constantly survey structural weaknesses, exits, tools, and hands rather than faces.
His palms are heavily callused and permanently marked by fine lines of embedded black glass dust.
He wears a brass tally-ring large enough to fit over a human wrist, and touches it before making any promise.
His boots are steel-toed and polished only at the toes, where repeated contact with wagon wheels has worn away the dust.
Despite his size, he moves with nearly silent, deliberate footwork.
Voice
“A deep baritone with a gravelly undertone, like stones grinding beneath a river. In private it is almost soothing. In a crowd it becomes physically imposing, filling yards and tunnels until even distant workers know when Bramm has begun speaking.”
Clothing
Dust-stained canvas work trousers, a sleeveless reinforced leather vest, patched undershirt, heavy steel-toed boots, a weatherproof longcoat rolled beneath one arm, and a thick brass union-tally ring worn on a leather thong around his neck
Body Language
Bramm stands with his feet planted as though the ground might shift beneath him. When listening, he angles his whole torso toward the speaker but keeps his eyes on the room. He rolls the brass tally-ring across his knuckles when thinking, closes one huge hand around it when angry, and leans slightly forward when offering a promise. In public meetings he bows too deeply for comfort, making his humility look almost threatening.
