[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 1087212, member: 960"] Color scheme: As a follower of a nature deity, I would think earth tones (especially "forest-y" greens) are appropriate for this character. (I myself prefer blues, but I don't think that's very nature-like. Well, unless you're an aquatic creature) I like the white hair on the avatar, but I think his character sheet says his hair is black. We'll just say he saw a ghost and it's premature gray! ;) Facial expression - the current avatar almost looks too wise for this character. A few ideas: [list=1] [*]Something "combat-y"--a fierce scowl or horrible grimace as he's raging in the heat of battle. [*]Social awkwardness. Not sure how to say this but, the look of someone who thinks he's just told a really funny joke but has actually insulted someone else. You know--that awkward moment when a social incompetent's face has a combination of (a) expecting a positive reponse, but it's tinged with the (b) confusion of "what did I say wrong?" and a little (c) fear that he's gonna get his head bashed in for what he just said. [*]A look of shame and disappointment as someone (probably a dwarf) has mocked him for being a beardless dwarf once again. [*]A look of awe and wonder, as he gazes at the splendor of nature [*]A look of horror and disgust as the undead advance and try to rip his party to shreds. [/list=1] General personality stuff (just FYI): Being an outcast from his own dwarven clan initially made him very bitter. Living in the wild, and actually surviving, turned him to the worship of Obad Hai. Yet he now lives in an area infested with the worshippers of Ehlonna, so he has learned to make friends (temporarily, if needed, to achieve a short-term goal) and avoid theological debates.
