Appearance
Thorne is a massive Gravari standing 7'5", with stone-gray skin and a hulking frame. His body is
covered in faint, natural markings and ridges that resemble weathered rock. He has a thick, braided
beard and intense eyes, and often wears furs and leather with a distinct tribal design. His armor
includes dark, jagged plates and a wolf pelt draped across his shoulders. His signature weapon is a
massive double-bladed axe, worn and battle-tested.
Personality
Thorne is stoic and intimidating, but deeply in tune with nature and his surroundings. Though he
rarely speaks, his presence commands respect. He is slow to anger but unstoppable when
provoked. He has a soft side that he only shows to those he trusts--and to small animals.
Background
Thorne hails from the Speakers, a nomadic Gravari tribe who believe in listening to the land and
responding with action, not words. They are known for their silence and reverence for the natural
world. Thorne left his tribe to explore the world, guided by instinct. He met Nyla during one of her
herbal excursions, and their mutual understanding of nature forged an immediate bond. She later
vouched for him to the group, and he joined soon after.
Class Description
Primal Bender: A grounded barbarian-type class that channels the raw, instinctive power of nature.
Thorne cannot cast spells or summon elementals, but he can manipulate natural elements already
present in the environment. If there is fire, he can bend it. If they are in a forest, he can move roots
or trees. If they are in a desert, he can stir sandstorms. His power is terrain-based and physical, not
magical--drawing from presence, instinct, and primal connection.
Fighting Style
Thorne fights with a slow, deliberate brutality. His strength is immense, and his control over the
environment adds utility and unpredictability. He is the immovable wall of the group, often serving as
their frontline tank and protector.
Dynamic Within Group
- Ren: Thorne respects Ren's leadership and rhythm, and silently supports him. Their bond is rooted
in mutual understanding during battle.
- Nyla: Shares the deepest bond with Nyla due to their mutual connection with nature. She is the
only one Thorne speaks to more than a few words at a time.
- Vael: Vael finds Thorne amusing in a 'this guy could kill me with a blink' way. They don't talk much,
but Vael appreciates his muscle.
- Lira: Lira is quietly wary of Thorne, but over time has grown to trust him as a dependable presence.
He often backs her up silently.
