Species

Appearance
Corin has the weathered look of someone who spends more time in warehouses, alleys, and crowded kitchens than in offices. Their face is narrow and expressive, with a small scar cutting through the left eyebrow and fine flour dust permanently worked into the creases around their mouth. They move with precise, economical gestures, as if every motion has been edited for efficiency, yet their hands tremble whenever a hungry person asks for help. Their clothing gives the impression of a respectable clerk until one notices the hidden pockets, reinforced seams, and soft-soled boots. The unexpected contradiction is their smile: warm, almost radiant, and utterly sincere even when Corin is delivering a threat.
“Clear, resonant, and carefully paced. Corin sounds like a courtroom advocate addressing a hungry crowd, with occasional dry humor and sudden softness when speaking to children or exhausted workers.”

Distinguishing Features
A flour-pale scar across the left eyebrow.
Fingertips permanently roughened and cracked from baking, rope, and winter work.
A brass exchange pin hidden under the left lapel.
An unusually sincere smile that remains present during intimidation.
The faint smell of sourdough starter clinging to their clothes.
Voice
“A warm contralto with a faint rasp from years of smoke, flour, and public speaking. Corin can make a whispered instruction sound like a command and a threat sound like a regrettable administrative necessity.”
Clothing
A dark russet waistcoat beneath a patched charcoal coat, both lined with hidden pockets. Corin wears a white neckcloth stained with flour, sturdy brown trousers, soft-soled boots, and a brass Blackpick Exchange pin concealed beneath the lapel. The coat smells faintly of yeast, rain, and lamp oil.
Body Language
Corin leans forward when listening, clasps their hands when making a moral argument, and becomes unnervingly still when lying. Their left thumb repeatedly rubs the scar through their eyebrow whenever family is mentioned.
