Build: Practical muscle. May appear somewhat pudgy, but he's stronk.
Hair: White-Grey. Think aspen tree.
Eye: Emerald Green, with a bloody red "bleed", in the day. A deep, dark red at night.
Skin: Lightly tanned, but paler in the daylight.
Identifying Features: For a Caparii, the white-grey hair is telltale. The tip of his right horn is discolored due to being false. His left hand is without ring finger, and he is missing some teeth.
Appearance: If Aspen's personality doesn't make him the center of a room, his height does. He towers over most folks, and leads with his chest. Nine out of ten times, he walks around strapped with weapons, always having his yew longbow. He keeps both his hair and beard tied into ponytails, with some errant bangs hanging over his forehead.

Usual Attire: Aspen wears medium armor consisting of scalemail to cover the middle, shoulderplates, and other smaller plates on his arms, legs, all held together with leather straps.

Accessories: His signature attire tends to come with a worn leather sash, with many pouches. His belt has just as many pouches, if not more. He keeps a quiver strapped to the small of his back, and a sheath sits at his hip for a longsword. On his right wrist, he wears a charm bracelet with a whistle dangling from it, given to him by Leila.

Hygiene: Bathing regularly

Scars:
+
A small scar on his left side
+Two large gouge scars in his back
+Other small, miscellaneous nicks and scratches

Voice: [X] Iron Bull from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Similarly gruff, maybe not quite as deep. Aspen speaks at a markedly slow pace, but stutters when nervous or excited due to a head injury.


Personality: Bombastic in a sense, but it's best if you find out specifics IRP.

Fears:
+Gryphons
+The Undead
+Peter Hallon

Sense of Humor: Finds humor both where it is appropriate and where it is inappropriate. Less-than-subtle Schadenfreude.

Religion or Cults: As a former Acolyte, knows the most about The Grey Lady, but is much more preferential to Shalherana. Has some respect for Silas from his upbringing.

Alignment: Chaotic Good - with a twist of lime.

[None of Aspen's current theme songs work much.. I'll find some soon.]


Main Theme
[Water Wars by Emily Axford]

"My story..? Heh.. Well.. le'see.. I grew up, uhh.. With my grandmum, granddad. Parents.. Couldn't take care of me, I guess. They had a little farm, real humble, yeah? Turnips, corn, wheat, carrots.. A cow or two. I had a real fondness for the oxen. Real strong animals. Anyways, when I was young, I was pretty normal. I helped my grandfolks out with plowing the fields, harvests, all that. It was good. The older I got, the more bitter I got about not knowing my parents much. I got mad that my grandfolks had to toil away on some farm, pushing damned near one-ninety a piece. It wasn't right. Turned my aggressions on the more privileged folk. Why's it gotta be that they have it so easy? And then I started drinkin'. Couldn't hold my liquor then like I can now. It was ugly. Petty theft, ruinin' property, pickin' fights.. All that. I left home without that much warning.. Left my grandfolks to deal with the farm. I thought, in some way, I was doin' them some kind of service.

This one night, I was at some tavern, and uh.. This dwarf. He was pickin' on the Elfy barmaid. Gropin' and whatnot, right? Me, thinking I was some kind of just-caused youth, decided to say somethin'. Though, it may have seemed more to the Dwarf like a string of drunken insults. He pulled a dagger on me, gave me a good cut, right on the side. I.. went for a chair. Swung it right into him. He was on the floor, and.. I got carried away. At first it was a hoof, down on his hand. Then a hoof to the chest. Another one. And.. and another. I'll never forget that.. crack, under my hoof.. I can't say I regret it.. Found out later that night this Dwarf in particular was no good.. Abused his kids, his lass. It was a real bad thing for 'em. His wife, she.. she thanked me personally. Gave me this sick feeling....

I lived with his wife for a bit... Help her recover, get back on her feet.. I wouldn't say we were married, but we were.. in love, maybe. I lost her to a fever two winters later.

In grieving, I decided to go home.. It was a long ride, for sure. Thought about family, and the feck-all I'd done for my grandfolks that last.. ten.. fifteen.. twenty years? I only got to work on the farm with 'em one last year. In the time I was gone, things got bad. They couldn't tend to everything themselves.. Granddad's back was no good.. Grandmum was sick. Farm was in disrepair... I.. It was all me. I still think.. No, I know that. During that year, I started getting into some minor brewin'... Turned into this pretty decently payin' affair. Folks in the home town were buyin' my swill.. I decided to take a ship up North after my grandfolks passed. Get a new start in a new place.. And here I am."

I... Don't remember Roy making him a hammer that big... Are you sure you got that from him?
To my knowledge, the hammer was from Roy, but it was indirectly bought, through Jaden Seeker. If the length ought to be cut down, that's fine, I just had it such that it would suit his size.
