Cranogwen Stonebreed
11 years ago
This is my Dwarven Barbarian from our Pathfinder game. I'm really attached to her.
Cranogwn is from the Stonebreed clan. They are a type of mountain dwarf, unlike their underground cousins, they like the heights and fresh air the mountains give. In their culture, the higher up the mountain you live, the richer and more respected you are in the group.
The Stonebreed clan doesn't live at the top of the mountain, but they do very well for themselves. They are an old family who has tended the flocks of Crag Rams for centuries. Crag Rams are one of the only means of transportation up and down the mountains. They're fleece is usually the color of the surround rocks from the mountain, and while it is on the animal when it is young. As they get older, the harder and harder it gets, making it almost like a built in battle armor. The rams actually grow large enough to be mounted and ridden into combat. Each warrior will be given a ram when they hit puberty, so that they can grow and mature together. Though this happens, the rams will not live as long as the dwarves do, though they do have an extended lifespan. They get to be the size of ponies or some larger at full grown, with daunting horns.
Because of their duties, the Stonebreed family crest is a skull of a Crag Ram with large curled horns, usually colors in bronze, and small cracks in parts of the skull. Some people find relics with the Stonebreed crest on it and mistake them for Satanic, or demonic idols because of the Ram's connection with certain characters. The majority of their clothing and armor contains the colors grey, red, and bronze.
Cranogwen is an interesting character. She is a barbarian by nature, but is fairly reserved. Her best friend is her pet Crag Ram, Rilaz, who is currently at home while she is adventuring. She wields an Ancient stone warhammer passed down through her family from generations. Usually, the first born male would receive it, but Cranogwen's older brother, Haufhal, had a knack for tending the Crag Rams, and cannot be a warrior, due to an old injury.
Cranogwen is short like most dwarves, around 4'3'' and stocky with muscular arms from having to use her hammer, Torrwr Esgyrn, in fights. Her skin is more tan than a regular dwarf from spending years on mountain tops near the sun. Her eyes are a deep blue and her hair is a shimmering copper color from all the sunlight. It is rather long, and she wears it wild, almost like some sort of lion's mane, though in places she keeps it braided back so it doesn't get in her vision during battles. Her face is round, but not fat, and her expressions are often described as serious or bored. This is mostly due to her intense inner thoughts that she doesn't frequently vocalize.
I'm having trouble describing her outfit, but I have a little doodle of it that I might can in for 'reference' if you can call a janky doodle a reference, same for her hammer. I'm going to go on the lookout for human artists, or artists in general, that I feel can draw her from this description. I don't really know how to describe the sheep better, but I think I gave enough detail that someone could draw this, right?
I'm all about feedback on her. I love her and want to expand on her story, family, and everything.
