Dirk Stormgrip
Physical Description
![]() | ||
Race: | Khazad-Aul | |
Homeland: | Eldwyn Forest, Alexandros | |
Age: | 255 | |
Occupation: | Woodsman | |
Class: | Ranger 11 | |
Faith: | The Green Word |
Here stands a sturdy, solid example of the Khazad people. He's big and broad for his race, standing just under the five foot mark, yet is half again as broad as the average human. He's clearly gotten on in years, yet he carries himself with all the spry vigor of a youth. A snowy white mane of hair tumbles to his shoulders, while his majestic beard is worn gathered into two tails that reach his barrel chest. His deepset eyes of rich honey brown are framed by deep, craggy lines and shadowed by shaggy brows. A set of three thick scar-lines track down the right side of his face, cutting a notch out of his brow and lending a slight squint to his eye. His voice is a deep, gravelly baritone, and he speaks with the typical dwarven brogue.
His clothing and accouterments mark him as a man of the outdoors. He wears a sturdy, well-forged breastplate over a heavy cable-knit sweater of a deep hunter green. Over his shoulders, he wears a heavy cloak and mantle of deep blue. Sturdy brown trousers are tucked into heavy hobnailed boots. An embroidered blue scarf is worn around his bull neck. Atop his head he wears a well-worn old tricorne hat cocked at a jaunty angle, with a small golden cockade pinning a white plume to the brim. He carries an immaculately maintained thunderbelcher slung over his shoulder. A leather satchel is slung over his chest, resting against his left hip, while a smaller hip satchel is hung from his belt on the right. A keenly sharpened handaxe is tucked into his belt within easy reach. He's rarely seen without his broad-bowled pipe tucked in the side of his mouth.
He lumbers about his business with a broad, easy-going smile creasing his features. Despite his rugged appearance, he's quite polite, quick to tip his hat and offer a boisterous greeting. Despite his thickset appearance, he's light on his feet and moves with practiced grace.
Items of Note:
Mythril Breastplate: A finely-tooled and mirror-polished breastplate. Forged by his own hand, Dirk has laid enchantments sacred to the Green Word upon it, granting it superior lightness and comfort.
Magicked Thunderbelcher: In similar fashion to his armor, Dirk has forged his own thunderbelcher--a longarm pump-action rifle. He has engraved it with icons and images sacred to the Green Word, investing it with the blessed power of Dana and Gilead. The shot fired from this rifle are anathema to creatures of the Dark, and servants of evil cannot bear to even touch the blessed weapon.
Lulu: Dirk's beloved animal companion. Lulu is a White-Faced Scops Owl blessed with superior intelligence. She is Dirk's constant companion during his travels all across Ea.
Roleplay Hooks
- Woods Wise: Dirk is well known for his skill in navigating the forests and mountains of his home. Anyone in need of guidance through the wilds would do well to engage his services.
- The Green Word: The Stormgrip clan have been black sheep among the Khazad for hundreds of years. Embracing the green growing things, cool shade, and sweet water of the wood, Dirk follows in his family's tradition. He is devoutly dedicated to the Green Word, doing his part to defend the woods in the name of Dana, the Blessed Lady, and Gilead, the Holy Hunter.
- Dwarven Craftsmanship: Dirk will often bring the fruits of his labors to market in Alexandria. He procures furs and pelts from the creatures he hunts in the woods, as well as tanning his own leather to offer for sale. He also grows and cures his own tobacco, making various flavorful blends for smoking. In addition, he hand-carves beautiful pipes to offer for sale along his jars of pipe tobacco.
