Ursari
Ox
Name: Ox
Family: Pitivo
Gender: Male
Stage: Journeyman
Seller of: Skin: Very dark red-brown, almost black
Eyes: Soft blue
Horns: More akin to fallow deer antlers, pale and bone-like
Hairstyle: Very short, roughly cut. Tail is very similar, kept short to avoid the risk of it setting on fire. In stark contrast, its normally a soft blonde colour, but usually sooty and dirty from his workshop
Personality: Ox is one of those Ursari that embodies the reason why the Luminista aren't comfortable around the Pitivo. He's unsociable and stand-offish, quite often reacting to others like they're wasting his time. Unless they've come for his services. He's a very confident and talented blacksmith and whilst he doesn't brag, he doesn't believe in mock modesty either. If someone compliments him or his work, he'll say 'thank you' and leave it at that.
If he could be accused of any fault, it'd be that he was a workaholic. His social life suffers for it but it makes him reliable. You'll know where he is, and when, and usually what state he'll be in as well. Time spent away from his craft is often in thought. He likes to be still, to rest, sometimes smoke one of the delights crafted by the Luminista or Djardi, or take a swig of a strong brew.
Ox is definitely of the 'large metal' type of blacksmiths. He can work small, but everything he crafts tends to be useful rather than beautiful. He'll carve or emboss markings or patterns or insignias onto armour and the like, but its nothing to take your breath away. Unless you're the enemy. He can also make new weapons, some designed by him or designed by the customers who come to him. If its metal, he can work with it. On the rare occasion he visits the Luminista or Veduni for business, he'll invest in some magics that can be incorporated into his work, to aid his customers. And usually at the customers request. Ox is not one to let his imagination roam wild, but do not be mistaken to think he doesn't have one.
Position/Expression: Something sturdy, serious, stoic. Possibly pictured with either some of his tools of the trade, or some of his creations.
Outfit: When working, he's usually to be found wearing a leather apron that reaches down to just above his knees and tied with string. He also wears thick leather gloves that reach to his elbows in order to protect his hands, two straps about each wrist to keep gloves in place. Away from work (haha, when he loosens up a bit), he wears a simple long-sleeved shirt with belt-and-buckle detailing, like across the chest and at the wrists. Large belt and thick brass buckle about the waist, holding up simple, plain dark linen trousers. He's not the type to overly decorate, and is probably the plainest, maybe most boring as well, Ursari in his caravan, lol
Items?: Lots of random trinkets hanging from his antlers. On one side, at least one lantern, sometimes two if he needs more light for working on intricate things. On the other side, some of his smaller tools or creations, so that they're handy. He likes his anvil and hammer xD
Etc: A bit of facial hair...if applicable. Not sure if Ursari are furred all over or have skin. If they're furry, imagine that it'd be a bit rougher on his jawline and his chin.
