The Manbeast (W.I.P)

the wilderness.

carry, as per his family’s ways.

Roughly 400 pounds.

APPEARANCE:
Grimbor bears a burly, mesomorphic form with broad shoulders and long athletic legs from a life of hard labor and wandering the
land on foot. His hair is quite lengthy and abundant, a mane reaching to his lower back. It is a dark sable in color and is often embellished
with small braids, twig and leaf fragments very often found interweaved from brushing against foliage. A short beard envelops his lower
face, decorated with what braids he can muster upon it as it still lengthens. His skin is calloused, freckled, ivory in color with stone gray
undertones. Olive green tattoos ornament the left side of his body, from foot to face; with imagery of The Hunt, Greatlings, “Beastmen,”
the Cycles of Nature, and varying stories of his own Hunts. His eyes are a verdant green, with slit pupils, seeming to hold an entire, vast
wilderness of his own behind them and an exuberant youthful glimmer. Crowning his head are two sturdy & still-growing oaken horns the
shape of moose antlers. His top and bottom canine teeth are more tusk-like and sharp, though are not as prominent as other Greatlings.
The man is often found barefoot if he is not in the bounds of a city, affording him a more quiet step in the wilderness as well as comfort in
feeling the cool Earth beneath him. His clothing is crafted of natural materials and are kept simple with undyed shades; formulated of linens,
furs, leathers, bone, etc. Occasionally, the hide of a large brown bear adorns his head and shoulders. 

HYGIENE:
Grimbor bathes in rivers & natural hot springs wherever he can find them, using crude tallow & wood ash soaps of his own make. He thinks
bathhouses are disgusting and refuses to use them, and is uncertain of the washpots within inns. He nearly always carries the scents of the
outdoors - whether that be a good or bad thing. It varies.
