Half-Orc

Appearance

A broad-shouldered half-orc who looks as if the woods have been wearing him down for years and have never quite managed to break him. He dresses in light hermit's layers dyed in moss, lichen, and bark-brown, but over them hangs a dirty, dented plate cuirass that has been scrubbed clean only where hands have touched it most often. The plates are stitched to leather straps and soft cords so they do not rattle in the brush. On his head rests the skull of a horned bull, old and weathered, with the horn tips capped in brass and prayer knots tied through the eye sockets. His flail hangs at his belt beside a bone-handled knife and a pouch of herbs. He moves with the silent caution of a tracker, yet his armored shoulders and the bull skull give him the unsettling look of a shrine come to life, equal parts penitent monk and battlefield brute. The strangest thing about him is how gentle his hands are, as careful as a midwife's, even when the rest of him looks built for splintering doors.

Height6 ft 4 in
BuildPowerfully built, thick neck, broad chest, and scarred forearms, with the lean conditioning of someone who spends as much time climbing ravines as training in armor
EyesAmber-gold with flecks of green near the pupil
HairBlack with a coarse iron-gray streak at the temples
SkinDeep umber with olive undertones and sun-browned scars

Low and measured, with a rough woodland cadence and the occasional ritual phrase in Orcish. He speaks as if each word should be worthy of a witness.”

Distinguishing Features

A bull skull helm with one horn cracked and wrapped in copper wire

A vertical scar across the left cheek that looks like a claw mark made by a hot blade

Prayer beads carved from acorns, knuckle bones, and river stone

One ear partly torn away, leaving a ragged notch

The faint smell of pine smoke and crushed yarrow that follows him even after rain

Voice

Gravelly but restrained, like wind moving through dry reeds

Clothing

Layered hermit wraps in forest greens and brown linen, patched with deer hide and nettle thread, worn under battered plate pieces that look scavenged, repaired, and blessed more than once

Body Language

Still and watchful when at rest, with a deliberate economy of motion; in conflict he lowers his head like a charging bull, but in conversation he keeps his hands open and visible, as if always trying to prove he came in peace.
