Background

Bear (as he calls himself) has lived in the wilderness of the North almost his whole life. He was born to a barbarian tribe that has since been wiped out, but he would go out and gather food and hunt. One unfortunate day, Bear got caught in a blizzard for days, surviving off melted snow and elk marrow. Moments before his death, right as the marrow dried up, Luna appeared to him, saying only "Live." He has taken it to heart, and his tenacity is attracting the attention of elders who are impressed with his raw grit. Some say he has what it takes to be a sorcerer, if he could stay inside long enough to read a book.

Appearance

In human form, Bear looks like a Northerner with a shaved head and a five-o'clock shadow. Average height, broad shoulders, looks tougher than most mountains. Also has an almost permanent Clint Eastwood squint from all the time spent out in the snow.

In Warform, he grows to 12 feet tall, two extra arms pop out of his sides, his skin turns gray and chitinous, and his face elongates to resemble a hairless, featureless bear. Very gross.
