Description:
A small, wiry boy whose body still carries more evidence of hunger than training. Osric has grown accustomed to making himself smaller than the people around him, shoulders often drawn inward and hands kept close to his body. Years spent sleeping rough have given him a toughness that isn't immediately apparent. He is not muscular, nor particularly imposing, but there is a stubbornness to the way he carries himself.

His face still possesses the softness of youth, though it is broken by a crooked nose and several small scars earned during his years in the streets. His hands are rough from labor, with calluses across his palms and fingers from stable work, carrying crates, climbing walls, and eventually learning to handle a spear.

Height / Weight:
5' / 125lbs

Hair:
Black, unevenly cut and usually falling wherever it pleases. Osric has never had much concern for keeping it neat.

Eyes:
Grey-green. Watchful and somewhat wary, though they brighten considerably when he is discussing something he genuinely cares about.

Unique Markings/Scars:

A crooked scar crosses the bridge of Osric's nose.

Small white scars cover his knuckles and elbows.

Strengths:

- Stubborn: Once he decides something must be done, convincing him otherwise can be difficult to do.

- Protective: He protects that which he loves. And is willing to interpose himself if necessary.

- Observant: Life on the streets taught Osric to pay attention. He notices who is watching, who is nervous, who has food, and who is lying.

- Hardworking: If something needs cleaning, carrying, repairing, or tending, he does it and does not complain readily about it.

Weaknesses:

- Reckless: Osric has difficulty watching someone else suffer without intervening. He will willingly put himself in danger for a stranger.

- Inexperienced: For all his confidence in his principles, Osric knows very little about the wider world. Nobility, politics, warfare, and courtly behavior are all things he is still learning.

- Suspicious: Years of surviving through deception have made Osric slow to trust. Kindness makes him uncomfortable when he cannot determine what the giver expects in return.
