Aveloria

A rugged human male with a weathered face and a strong build, Joric has short, dark hair streaked with gray. His most notable feature is his metal prosthetic hand, which he often clenches into a fist when agitated. He wears simple, practical clothing suited for village life, with a leather vest and sturdy boots. His piercing blue eyes reflect a lifetime of hardship and determination, and he carries a scar across his cheek from a past battle.

Joric is gruff and pragmatic, often coming off as stern and unyielding. He values loyalty and hard work, and while he cares deeply for his village, he struggles to open up to others. His experiences have made him cautious, and he often questions the motives of those around him, especially if they involve magic. Despite his tough exterior, he has a soft spot for the children of the village and will go to great lengths to protect them.

Once a proud soldier, Joric Fenhand fought valiantly to protect his village from various threats. However, during a fateful encounter with a monstrous swamp beast, he lost his hand, which was replaced with a crude metal prosthetic. This traumatic experience left him with a deep-seated suspicion of magic, as he believes it can lead to chaos and destruction. Now, as the village leader, he is fiercely loyal to his people, always prioritizing their safety and well-being, but his gruff demeanor and wariness of outsiders make it difficult for him to trust others, especially those who wield magic.
