Appearance:

Thrain Iceblood is a towering figure of raw endurance with broad shoulders and a thick frame. His pale, weathered skin bears the marks of frostbite long overcome, along with scarred runes carved into his arms—symbols of his ancestors and the spirits of the land. His icy-blue eyes gleam like frozen lakes beneath a heavy brow, reflecting both the cold pragmatism of a hunter and the fury of a storm waiting to break.

His hair is a wild mane of ash-blond, often bound in thick warrior’s braids, tangled with bone charms and iron rings that whisper of past battles. A wolf-pelt cloak, draped over his heavy furs and leathers, keeps the biting wind at bay, while his boots are wrapped in layered hides to withstand the brutal tundra. Across his back, his great axe rests—its edge worn from countless foes, yet still as sharp as the winter wind.

Backstory:

Thrain Iceblood is a Gamlir barbarian of Saarivalkea, hardened by the unforgiving winters and the trials of survival. Born among the Sisämaa, he was raised in the cold forests and moors, where the whisper of Halla (frost spirit) mingled with the howling winds. His name, Iceblood, was earned after he survived a deadly blizzard as a child, his flesh nearly frozen but his will unbroken.

Broad-shouldered and weathered by the elements, Thrain carries the runes of his ancestors etched into his weapons and skin, symbols of protection and strength. He wields a massive axe, favoring weapons that echo the brutal, efficient ways of his people. His furs and leathers are thick, not just for warmth, but as a testament to the beasts he has slain in the wild.

Thrain values strength in action over words, and honor in deeds over lineage. He does not seek glory for its own sake, but rather to carve his mark upon the world through trials of might and resilience.
