[quote="Grim Boulderfist"] The world ain't fair, lad. Best to learn to fight your own battles. [/quote] **Age:** 62162 **Race:** Dwarf ==== Appearance ==== Grim is a burly dwarf with a thick, grizzled beard streaked with grey. His left eye is missing, replaced by a vacant socket. His skin is deeply tanned from years spent working outdoors, and his hands are gnarled and scarred from a lifetime of labor. He wears a patchwork of furs and leathers over sturdy dwarven armor, the metal tarnished and dented from countless encounters. ==== Personality ==== Grim is a gruff and solitary figure, his gruff exterior masking a surprisingly kind heart. He is fiercely independent and distrustful of authority, having seen firsthand how the powerful can exploit the weak. Though he may seem intimidating, he has a soft spot for children and often shares his meager findings with those in need. He possesses a dry wit and a cynical outlook on the world, but beneath the gruff exterior lies a deep-seated yearning for a simpler time. ==== Backstory ==== Grim was once a respected member of the Deepguard, a formidable warrior who served on the front lines against the Abyssal incursions. He lost his eye during a particularly fierce battle, an event that left him disillusioned with the military and the hierarchy of Ironhearth. He now spends his days scavenging for valuable scraps in the Chitterlings, his gruff exterior masking a deep-seated longing for the camaraderie and purpose he once knew.
