Velheim

A human scavenger with unkempt dark brown hair and deep-set brown eyes that scan his surroundings like a hawk. His rough, sun-kissed skin wears the scars of survival, and he is clad in patched leather armor with a frayed cloak that offers little warmth against the biting wind. He carries a crude dagger at his side and a weathered backpack filled with basic supplies. His frame is lean but strong, built from years of foraging and climbing.

Cautious, pragmatic, and resourceful. Amdan tends to be detached in social situations, valuing practicality over emotional connections. He is observant and analytical, often assessing people and situations for their potential benefits or dangers. While he can show compassion in desperate situations, he mentors others to be self-sufficient rather than relying on him for support. His experiences have made him wary of trusting others fully.

Amdan's family struggled on the brink of poverty, often facing threats from raiders, wild animals, and the unforgiving elements. His parents taught him the importance of self-reliance, often leaving him to fend for himself while they searched for food. As a result, Amdan developed a pragmatic approach to life. He has seen too many lives lost due to carelessness or misplaced trust. While not inherently cruel, he prioritizes his own survival above all else. He often finds himself skirting the line between selflessness and selfishness, always calculating risks and rewards. Amdan has become adept at scavenging and bartering for what he needs, fostering relationships that benefit him without getting too emotionally involved.
