As such, they have the capacity to alter not only their overall body shape and size to a degree, but also the color, general configuration, and texture of their features and forms. These changes do not happen quickly however, and most Ugruu refrain from using this ability for anything other than the pursuit of the perfect form. Rockbiters are immensely dense creatures, being entirely composed of stone, crystal, and molten rock; they are very fair skinned with tones ranging from stark white to a dingy alabaster. Ugruu features display very rigid and hard lines: heavy brows, deep-set eyes (which smolder like molten rock), sharp, beak-like noses and square-ish but slightly pointed ears.Their beards are always short, angular and swept forward, coming to sharp point directly below their chins; these beards are generally composed of a single section of clear, silver, or light-hued crystal that has been “grown” to be textured, like thick strands of hair. These beards continue up their cheeks and back over their ears to form a fringe of hair on the backs of their heads, leaving their crowns bald and shiny. Their eyebrows are also angular and are composed of materials similar to their beards.Ugruu are a uniform three foot in height, but are able to alter their size somewhat over the course of time. Their bodies are thick – almost as wide as they are tall – and their hands, feet, fingers ad toes are three times as thick and “meaty” as a normal human’s. Rockbiters wear simple, loose-fitting but practical robes with hoods and long scarves so that they can protect themselves from sunlight, if so desired. Their feet are typically bare, as are their hands, but both can be covered within the voluminous folds of the robe in a moment’s notice if so needed.Personality: Ata is quiet and humble, reserved and introspective.  He is actually, in manner and personality, the inverse image of Glanten, but this is far from happenstance.  Ata rarely speaks, but if he does then he is usually heard, one way or another; however his presence seems to speak for itself and when he is moved to actions - those actions - speak far louder than any words.  Ata is given to moments of silent reflection and introspective pondering followed by sure, steady, determined and pre-considered thoughts that are enacted like a meticulious battleplan.  Rarely does the ugruu rush headlong into anything: word, deed, or thought.  Ata is kind and forgiving, compassionate in all things he does, with the sole exception of one: punishing those who are, or do, evil.  These things he simply cannot abide and pursues his causes against them with the fervor of a thousand silent zealots.Background: Ata has spent most of his life within his monastary, deep within the Seething Depths, unaware of the destiny that would one day come to claim him.  Training in his secret sacred order, gaining knowledge and skills beyond the reach of most mortals for untold years, the ugruu was quietly content to hone his body and mind to the fullest of its potential.Then, one morning, Ata awoke in a place that was not his home.  While it was similiar, it was also strikingly different.  A great forge filled with dwarven workers as far as the eye could see, hammering, singing, and simply being stretched out before him.  Ata was at once, confused and somehow filled with a sense of peace and wellbeing.A dwarf with a long, flowing beard approached him and whispered something into his ear - even to this day, Ata cannot remember exactly what was said, but he knows that it has something to do with it being his time to fufil his destiny.  The only exact words that he can recall are:"...and now the twain shall meet, but whether or not they will entwine and become as one remains to be seen."The next thing he knew, the ugruu was again opening his eyes.  For the second time that day, Ata awoke in a place which was not his home and again he saw a dwarf, save this one was different from the last.  This dwarf was Glanten, whom Ata soon began to understand was somehow his exact duplicate in reverse.  It was like they were two sides of the same coin, and yet neither had ever known anything of the other.  The two set out to find out what more await them as they persued their destiny.  It was shortly hereafter that the two were contacted by the mysterious Shifter, who not only had an interest in the natural shape-shifting ability of the ugruu, but also of the larger, meta-physical connection between the two dwarves...</blockquote>
