Bartal

[Bartal]

Name: Bartal Race: Kelvic Age: 10 years old Birthday: 48th Day of Spring, 502 AV Common: Fluent Physical Description In his rightful form as a grizzly bear, Bartal is the most impressive. He stands roughly 9 1/2 feet tall when upright, and weighs in at nearly 900 pounds. His paws are the size of the average human's head, equipped with long, ivory colored claws. The bottom left canine in his mouth is noticeably chipped from taking a bad fall, but this doesn't impair any of his biting force. His hide is a plain ruddy brown, normally well kept. On occasion is gets matted with the environment or just lack of bathing. In his human skin, Bartal shows his years. His hair has grayed and his face has weathered some, but he is still strong and healthy. He stands straight and tall, reaching 2 inches past 6 feet. His body has hardened through the years of travel, giving him a good layer of muscle. All baby fat has long been eaten away by years of survival and harsh winters. Bartal has a long, proud nose and intelligent brown eyes. He normally keeps a short beard or stubble, but will occasionally shave clean. His hands and feet are heavily calloused, making any sort of glove or shoe unnecessary. Personality Bartal is a quiet sort of fellow. He believes actions speak louder than words, and uses a lot of body language. A little on the grumpy side most of the time, you won't see him running happily through a field of flowers anytime soon. He has a shorter fuse than most, in either form, and won't hesitate to state his dislike for anything or anyone. His true passions are the Goddesses Caiyha and Oriana, and the forest. He is very protective of his domain, and anything he rightfully claims as his own. Bartal has trouble comprehending that his actions may have consequences, and this has gotten him into trouble in the past. It's hard for him to plan ahead and see the big picture of things. He tends to just live in the moment, overcoming obstacles as they come along. Character History Born and raised in Sylira, Bartal has never left the region. A lot of his time has been spent in the Bronze Woods and Cobalt Mountains, where he feels the most at home and has easy access to Syliras when the need arises. He was bonded once, to an old medicine woman, whom he provided his friendship and protection until she passed from this world. This was earlier in his life, and he's had a hard time letting go, still unable to move on and find a new companion. Her passing is what caused him to become the sullen, short tempered bear that he currently is.
