Due to this training he also has several scars on his chest, though the most prominent is a large jagged scar on his upper chest. Varon's upper body is always bare because he takes pride in showing off his strong Isurian body. Instead he rips his shirts into strips and uses them to tie his hair back. Though he is known to wear a cloak over his shoulders and keeps it open in the middle. Varon prefers earthy tones and his clothing shows this fact. His weapon of choice is a Greataxe that he keeps strapped to his back. His left arm is the gift his race recieved from Izurdin, and his is a dark green in color. On his left shoulder is the mark first mark of Izurdin. Character Concept Varon is a very serious person, and does not understand the point of games and similar wastes of time. Though this comes more from a lack of experience then his actual opinion. His upbringing in the Coglias clan has given him a fondness for physical activities, especially fighting. From a young age he has enjoyed getting into scraps. He is very competetive and has been known to take things to far, such as severly injuring his opponent in a friendly spar. Varon also enjoys alchohol, which is a habit he got from his father. Though his father actually brews his own ale, and has a popular ale house back in Sultros. Unfortunatley Varon had no talent in the art of brewing, instead focusing his attention towards consuming the drink instead. This has given him a decent tolerance for the beverage, needing to consume pretty large quantities in order to get drunk. What little time he does not spend either looking for a fight or drinking he tends to spend smithing. Aside from regular blacksmithing he also practices weapon smithing, which is quickly becoming a preferred hobby of his. Varon has a large amount of respect for Izurdin, and takes pride in the arm he inherited from the god. Though he does use it for smithing, his main use for the arm is in combat. Such as using it to shield himself or even break his opponents weapon. Varon has no feelings towards any of the other gods or goddeses. However, this is because he has had no exposure to them and could easily change as he wanders the world. Character History Varon was born to the Coglias clan in the Isur’s mountain home of Sultros. From a young age he was made to focus on the two things his clan held dear, forging and fighting. It didn’t take him long to find that he had a knack for the latter. There was just something about the thrill of battle that made him feel alive. To the point where he would challenge the other children to fights on a daily basis, usually with him being the victor. He didn’t focus on any specific fighting style, instead preferring to mix it up. That is until he held an axe for the first time. The weight felt good to him almost like an extension of himself. It was easily his weapon of choice. His proficiency with the weapon became a source of jealousy for the other boys. One boy in particular could not stand the fact that Varon garnered the attention of the Adult clan members, and challenged him to a duel. Varon easily over powered the other boy and knocked him to the ground. As a sign of respect he reached out to help the fallen Isur, however the hand was smacked away and the challenger fled in embarrassment. Later that night when Varon was walking home from a particularly rough training session someone approached him from behind a nearby building. It took a moment for him to recognize the stranger as the boy he had defeated earlier. Without a word he rushed Varon and lunged his left hand forward. Varon realized to late that the other Isur was holding a dagger and felt a sting of pain in his chest. Without looking at the wound he quickly pushed his attacker back before reaching back for his axe. With one swing he sent the boy fleeing holding tight to a large gash on his right arm. Unfortunately Varon did not leave this fight unscathed, he was left with a large jagged scar on his chest. Around his thirties was when Varon found alchohol for the first time. His father heard about the liquid and began tinkering with it for himself. He was particularly fond of ale and perfected a method of making it using a large metal vat that was crafted using Izurdin’s gift. The blessing of the god gave the drink a sweeter and more bold taste that many were fond of. With this signature drink his father opened an Ale house and began working on new recipes. He had tried teaching his son how to brew the liquid, but Varon quickly found he had no talent for making the brew with his first batch making him violently ill. So he gave up on creating the liquid and instead focused on drinking it. He quickly acquired a taste for the beverage and drank it as often as he could. Even going as far as to sneaking into his fathers store house in order to drink in secret. On his fiftieth birthday he made an oath to himself that he would leave his home and travel the world. He realized he new little of the world beyond the mountains, and found that he was curious how others lived their lives. More than anything though, he was curious of their strength. He wanted to be able to say he was the strongest, and that meant proving himself in other cities and to other races.
