Fighter, Banner Captain
Sahru Numa
Species
Human
Appearance
Sahru is a broad-shouldered human with the compact, powerful build of someone shaped by running rather than lifting. His hands are the first thing most people notice: thick-palmed, heavily callused, and crosshatched with pale pressure marks from a lifetime of spear drills and shield work. He moves with an unsettling softness for a man his size, placing each foot as carefully as if the ground were thin ice. His expression is calm, almost tender, even when he is measuring how quickly someone could die. An unexpected contradiction follows him everywhere: he looks built for conquest, yet he handles fragile objects with the delicate care of a jeweler. He can silence a room by raising two fingers, but laughs easily at badly told jokes.
“His voice is low, warm, and deliberate, with rounded vowels and long pauses. He sounds gentle even when giving orders.”

Distinguishing Features
His hands are unusually broad, with polished calluses and faint circular impressions from years of shield straps.
A small copper sun-disc is sewn into the inside of his left collar, visible only when he turns his head.
His ironwood spear has a pale grip where thousands of thumb movements have worn away the dark oil.
He smiles warmly while delivering battlefield orders that may condemn someone to danger.
He carries a folded child's drawing of seven blue wells inside a waterproof reed case.
Voice
“A deep, rounded baritone with a soft rasp at the edges, like dry reeds moving in a night wind.”
Clothing
A sleeveless indigo battle coat over layered linen, wrapped trousers, soft riding boots, and a broad copper belt carrying water, cord, whetstone, and signal tiles. His shield is painted in faded concentric circles, and one specific place near the lower rim has been rubbed smooth and dark by years of bracing it against the ground.
Body Language
Sahru keeps his shoulders relaxed and his hands visible. When listening, he tilts his head slightly and watches the speaker's feet rather than their face. Before a fight, he touches the worn leather grip of his spear three times. When someone lies to him, he becomes almost perfectly still.
