Heathcliffe Stromgard

Heathcliffe Stromgard

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A build like a swimmer; not bulky but very definitely solid, like a well stuffed 5”9 sausage. Skin is the pale blue-grey of a cold winter morning, with eyes to match and a shock of tousled white hair floating about on his head like a trapped cloud. Its the skin on his forehead that darkens when he angers, blackening like an oncoming thunderstorm. While his boots and leggings tend to lean towards the practical he prefers loose vests or open shirts for his torso, occasionally just going with basics straps and holsters for his gear, the better to show off his chest as he considers his scar-lined pectorals to be highly attractive. He’s added to this perceived attractiveness elsewhere by adorning his ears and fingers with rings; though there is no consistent theme amongst what jewelry he wears, they’re clearly trophies taken from those he has bested. The rings on his fingers in particular tend to be unusually contorted due to his habit of using them as brass knuckles. He has developed a particular crooked smile born from a desire to hide the broken molar teeth on the right of his lower jaw. 24 years old, 213lbs

Personal history

In a far off land, there was a woman who freed a djinn from captivity, unsealing the bottle a wizard had trapped the genie in. For this he allowed the woman one wish, a boon returning a boon. She wished that she could have a companion, someone to share in her life and love her in return. And with a snap of his fingers, the djinn made her eight months pregnant. At least, that is how she told it. The village that she returned to had a somewhat more realistic idea of what may have happened between her and the genie especially when the child was born a genasi, the influence of the Plane of Air riddling its nature. The boy, named Heathcliffe, had to put up with the rumours and the looks from his fellow townsfolk who all wanted to call him bastard but never dared, which didn’t exactly help with his pride and haughty attitude. Especially when his temper started to show, bringing with it the fury of the Plane of Air, fuelling his retribution with the power of a storm, gifting him with unnatural speed and strength. Feeling that his home town was no longer a fit for him, constricting him and hobbling him like a shoe too small for him, he has taken to wandering the world; taking on quests, vanquishing enemies, all to make people see him as great as he sees himself. For that is the great paradox of Heathcliffe, the internal struggle of his narcissism and his inferiority complex. A life lived being called bastard has left him feeling small yet his ego tells him he is huge. It is this struggle that powers him, in a sense, fuelling his drive to achieve and accomplish great things
