Folken Grymtooth is a Highlander Hyur born to a small and secluded Hold within the great mountains of Gyr Abania, to the north east of Ala Mhigo. Forced to flee his home not long after the great Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire's ever expanding presence. A brash and often cruel individual who lives for survival in a world still rather foreign to him.
Contents
Basic Info
Folken Grymtooth is a middle aged Highlander who was raised in a hidden mountain hold comprised of ascetic hermits. He is the last of a few surviving members of his home, yet has all but thrown away the culture and rituals he was taught as a child. Instead holding onto only the martial side of his teachings and instead pursuing more selfish interests. At first glance he appears to be an average highlander though upon closer inspection has many unique physical traits.

Born simply as Folken to the male dominated Hold he was from. He would not earn the surname Grymtooth until much later. Given to him by a band of mercenaries he would travel with. Literally meaning Cruel Tooth, he was dubbed such for his often vicious tactics in combat and his characteristic filed teeth.
Appearance

|
- Physique: Folken stands on the taller side of Highlander averages, easily towering over the more average or shorter races. He sports a broad build, with wide shoulders that taper into a slightly more narrow waist. His musculature fits his form, his body a collection of dense muscles earned through the laborous lifestyle of a combatant and superior Highlander genetics. His form alludes to his physical strength, with large arms and legs capable of lifting heavier burdens with relative ease, though he is not without his limits.
- Complexion: The highlander's skin is of a naturally pale tint, rarely tanned due to often working in armor during the day, or more commonly being employed at night. His skin is often on the rougher side, dried out and calloused from his work and harsher lifestyle though he aims to keep an at least acceptable level of hygiene.
- 'Birthmarks': He has no noticeable birthmarks that are regularly visible aside from minor specks scattered sparsely around his pale skin.
- 'Tattoos': He sports a cultural tattoo that dips around his cheek under his right eye, blue in color, it was the first of what was supposed to be many tattoos he would earn as he became older but they were never completed.
- 'Filed Teeth': An old Highlander tradition, his teeth are filed down into sharp points, creating an almost monstrous visage used for intimidation as well as impromptu weaponry.
- 'Split Tongue': A body modification unique to his particular upbringing. His tongue is split in two half-way down the middle. He is capable of moving the tips individually and is often known to stick his tongue out whether it be playful or used for intimidation or distraction.
Characteristics
Mannerisms: Folken can be brash and rude at the best of times. He has rather poor etiquette and resists most attempts in teaching him in such ways. He can be cruel in his behavior, especially when it comes to perceived weakness
Voice: His voice is moderately deep with a slight gravelly tone however the way he speaks is often smooth in nature, not one to be loud and boisterous.
Personality
Folken is someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind, but understands that tact is important, even if he doesn't follow such tact. He has no problems spewing insults and being brutally honest and has been known to do so just to pick a fight. He loves few things more than open combat, diving into trouble for his own twisted pleasure. This leads to him having a combative personality that often leaves him with few acquaintances.
When it comes to fighting he has sadomasochistic tendencies, loving to hurt and be hurt in return, sometimes to possibly disturbing levels. Regardless of this he seems at least mostly stable on the surface when not in the midst of battle. He is often prone to taking trophies from slain or defeated opponents. He is quick to laugh, but often quicker to anger.
