The Basics

Appearance

Standing at roughly 7'7" tall and 400 pounds, Sylb is not an easy guy to miss in a crowd. He towers over most, even fellow roegadyn, his muscular breadth adding to the imposing cut of his colossal figure. With a broad, sturdy frame, thick arms and legs, a solid core, and a corded neck, it's clear that this man was built for strength. However, no one can maintain a perfectly sculpted body forever, and Sylb is no spring fox kit. Now pushing 50, the slow effects of aging have left him with an extra layer of squish, particularly around the middle. Though he couldn't be described as fat, the extra layer sure does soften the appearance of his muscles, and no amount of dieting or added exercise can get rid of it.

Bright, intelligent, silver gray eyes twinkle knowingly amidst a fanning of fine, but gradually deepening, wrinkles: some lines of worry or sadness, but most the product of decades worth of roguish smiles and booming laughter.

Despite his monstrous size and bulk, Sylb's face is almost elegant, and very handsome — even at his age. Beneath a pronounced brow, his eyes are wide-set above high cheekbones and fringed with thick, dark lashes. His broad nose is set close to his face with a royal arch at its thickest point before tapering to rest just above a wide, full-lipped mouth. When he smiles his pearly teeth stand in pleasant contrast with his dark skin making it seem even brighter. And, like a crowning jewel, a swirl-like dimple rests in the middle of his chin.

The neat, artful trim of his beard and eyebrows, and the thoughtful styling of his (increasingly graying) hair, only enhance Sylb's apparent elegant charm. Add to that his relaxed yet refined posture and you've got yourself a very stately roegadyn, indeed.

PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS

A Bum Back: with nearly 30 years of wielding his axe in service to his city-state, Sylb’s no longer a young buck. The wear and tear that comes with such activity combined with his age has left his back in rough shape. All it takes is one hasty twist in the wrong direction and boom! He’s on the floor, cursing gods and men in full color.

PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES

Strength: like most roegadyn, Sylb is solidly built and has a natural strength that he’s enhanced and maintained through regular training all his life.
