Afon Teyoc
Species
Kharvaxi
Appearance
Afon is a massive Kharvaxi with a broad chest, thick wrists, and long arms that hang nearly to the knees. Their movements are surprisingly quiet and measured, as if every step has been rehearsed on a narrow ledge. Their hands are the first thing people notice: square-palmed, heavily callused, and marked by pale ridges where climbing rope has polished the skin smooth. Their face is broad and calm, with a small lower lip that is almost delicate against the rest of their powerful features. They look built to break doors, yet handle cups, needles, and injured birds with breathtaking gentleness. When irritated, their breathing becomes slow and audible through the nose, like a bellows being carefully restrained.
“Afon speaks in a low, rounded voice with a gentle rhythm. They pronounce names carefully and rarely interrupt.”

Distinguishing Features
Their enormous hands are unusually gentle, with rope-polished calluses and tiny white flecks of quarry dust permanently embedded around the nails.
They breathe almost silently when calm, but produce a low resonant hum on each exhale when frightened or furious.
A string of colored knots is tied around their left wrist, each knot representing a person they have carried out of danger.
Their lower lip is soft and finely shaped, an unexpectedly delicate feature in an otherwise powerful face.
They habitually tilt their head toward stone walls as if listening for distant voices.
Voice
“Low, warm, and rounded, with a soft rasp like rope sliding over stone. Their laughter is unexpectedly bright and brief.”
Clothing
A sleeveless slate-blue climbing coat reinforced with stitched leather along the ribs and shoulders, loose charcoal trousers tucked into soft-soled boots, a faded ochre sash filled with knots that record debts and promises, and a moss-green scarf worn even in warm weather because it belonged to their father
Body Language
Afon keeps their shoulders slightly rounded despite their immense frame, an unconscious attempt to seem less threatening. Their hands remain open when speaking. When listening closely, they lower their head until one ear is almost level with the other person's mouth. Under stress, their fingers flex in sequence from thumb to little finger, as if testing invisible knots.
