General Info:
Name: William Holt Vaul [Holt is a personal name, used only by close friends and family]
Aliases: 'Off-With-its-Head Vaul' / 'Starch-Arse' / 'Cobalt-Holt' / The Guillotine / 'One-Eyed Willy'
Age: 36
Birthday: 22nd of every 2nd month
Gender: Male
Race: Mesalian - Northman
Creed: Mesalian Pantheon Orthodoxy, Superstitious/backward beliefs
Hometown: Long Night
Profession: Builder, Part-Time Destroyer of worlds
Height: 6'4 / 193cm
Weight: 240lbs / 109-ishkg
Appears an inch-or-two taller because of his long arms and legs, large hands and feet and ruler-like posture. After years of hard work and training, he actually looks closer his weight with quite a heavier and much stronger build than when he first arrived back in Auria. Despite even his appearance he's able to call upon reserves of strength that are less obvious.
He's some small nicks and cuts that have healed over, notably the drag burns where bowstring or feathers have made contact with the skin of his hands and right cheek as well as other smaller injuries that have appeared over the years.
All around his back, sides and torso are a random series of blunt impact and crude cut scars, like he's been whipped or hit hard with something like a branch of a tree and burn marks.
There is a blatantly obvious scar on the left-centre side of his forehead from an accident during the volcanic disaster; It was bandaged and has since healed up and is clearly visible into his fringe and down into the brow, creating a gap between a a large area of baldness. The centre of the wound is deep and visibly depressed in the skin.
He is topped with a crop of surprisingly clean, ear length blonde-ish hair in no particular unkempt style which is longer at the back. Despite his age, he is starting to grey somewhat, the blonde on his head growing lighter. Eyebrows and ever-present layer of stubble are a strikingly contrasted dark brown. There is a tribal skull tattoo hidden by the hair on the back of his neck.
His pale complexion, prominent facial structure, square jaw and aquiline nose betray his northern heritage, but also how much sun his home town of Long Night didn't get and the amount of time he's spent in the wilderness. His left eye, apart from being pure-grey and with a small pupil, is slightly bloodshot and has dark circles and bags under it from lack of sleep and recurrent, frequent nightmares. His right eye socket is covered with an eye patch. The eyelid itself has been stitched shut.
Clothing wise, he wears a fairly simple, everyday white shirt and navy trousers under a tanned leather, hooded jacket. He is almost always lugging about his rucksack and plenty of other pouches and pockets for storage, a dozen or so hanging from his belt. Hands are perpetually wrapped in fingerless, brown-cloth gloves and treads in tough, toe-capped boots. Depending on his destination, this can change. If he has a particular destination in mind and plans to spend some time there, he'll throw a shawl over his coat, patterned to match the terrain.
He wears an abstract totem around his neck, a ring on his right index finger and a coiled band on his right wrist, on the left wrist is what appears to be a necklace, tied on tight to where it presses into the skin. It never comes off.
In his armour, he is a literal juggernaut. his armour is composed in such a way as to maximise protection from penetrating and blunt attack while not restricting movement, it also acts to exaggerate his shape, making him appear even larger. While having no use in combat, it can be quite scary to fight someone who looks a foot taller than you and looks to be 300lbs of muscle and nerves!.
He wears a sectional leather carapace which covers his torso, upper arms and thighs. Under this, on his torso, he wears a chain hauberk which reaches down to just above the elbows and his belt line. sandwiched between these are thin plates of steel. A pair of thin, articulated steel pauldrons hug his shoulders.
He is further protected by a high plate gorget which steeples just below his nose, plated gauntlets and high boots. He once had a cloak of midnight blue and silver, showing his lineage to his Coven, but that is long lost.
Combat:
As a Northmark initiate, the children are expected to show proficiency in a variety of fields concerning the use of weaponry. William is able to apply knowledge of these and is able to partake in many forms of combat.
Besides these, he also has knowledge of dog/wolf breeding, taming and training, Key Harp Playing, linguistics, butchery, skinning, trapping, bowyery and fletchery and the practices of Pantheon Religions
