Kinship
Outward Appearance

Height: 6 feet
Skin Tone: Lightly tanned during the warmest seasons, less tanned in the coldest.
Hair: Dark blond in colour, kept short on his head. Despite his young age, he managed to grow a quite thick chinstrap.
Eyes: Like ebony in their colour and patterns.
Build: Broad-shouldered and muscular, his calloused hands not unlike shovels. His muscles -especially his abdominals- are hidden under a fat layer of variable thickness, which makes his figure look more natural. After all, a man without a belly is like a starless sky.
He is nevertheless quite nimble, and a good runner as well.
Voice: Powerful, bright baritone, mature in its colour yet youthful in its tone.
Clothing: Practical and comfortable, warm when it's cold and light or partially absent when it's hot. Also, with a cold weather or when rain is expected, he will wear a grey fulled wool cloak.
If he isn't wearing his leather gloves, he will certainly have them tucked under his belt.
Weaponry: He always carries a 'beidana', a hybrid of a weapon and a tool, with a total length of two feet.
The curved, single edged blade is narrow near the hilt and grows broader towards the opposite end, which lacks a thrusting point.

On the flat of the blade, just above the hilt, there is a protrusion, designed to hold onto the belt when the tool is being carried around, and it's definitely sturdy enough to be also able to catch an opponent's weapon sliding down the flat of the blade. The full-width tang curls back up, after the grip, to form a simple knucklebow. The hole at the tip of the blade, resembling a four-leaf clover, makes it possible to hang the tool on a nail.
The lad also carries a small knife, but that hardly counts as a weapon.

 


 

Scholarly Education: He can speak only Westron, with a quite thick Bree-Lander's accent. He can count, and read and write numbers, but he struggles when it is about words.
Martial Education: Being a lumberjack, he is used to chop and cut at things and, as a result, his edge alignment is almost flawless. Though, when striking, he will often overswing at least a little, and his guard is not among the best.
