Background:

Adgir comes from a clan of goliaths that, at one point in the distant past, found themselves at war with a city-state of fire giants deep below their mountaintop home. After champions on both sides erished, a peace deal was brokered, and trade between the two began. Ages of coesxistence have led to the birth of those known as "Embers;" goliaths with a spark of fire giant magic in their blood. Adgir is one such Ember, and has set out to hone his blacksmith's craft and devote himself to his clan's forge deity. He hopes to forge bonds with others as strong as iron, and serve as the bulwark between evil and innocence.

Appearance:

Adgir is a roughly 7' goliath of fire giant heritage; his skin is dark and somewhat metallic, with short-cut hair that's a ruddy red. He is nearing middle age, with a handsome face and gentle smile lines around his eyes. He wears Romanesque armor emblazoned with the symbols of his home, always well-kept and maintained. His weapon of choice is his spear and shield, as his people borrowed much from the fire giant's martial tactics (Roman/Greek-eqsue, phalanxes and such). Hanging from a belt are his go-to smith's tools, and his backpack's brown leather (along with most of his worn clothes) is stained with soot and grease from previous projects.

Personality:

Coming from a clan that valued order and craftsmanship, Adgir can come off as stoic or awkward around others (the latter certainly isn't far from the truth). His language of choice towards those he likes is gifts, usually metal and practical (though he has been known to make stunning jewlery from time to time). However, behind that towering metal wall of a man is a gentle soul with a deep desire to protect and assist others. Don't let his gentle soul fool you, however, for he is just as adept with his spear and shield as he is with his smith's tools.
