Character Physique and Demeanor

Jorrundr Lotharsson is an individual with an immediately striking physical build. His Jerren features are square and rigid. Jorrundr’s shoulders are broad, carrying thick muscle at the shoulders and about the neck. Atop Jorrundr's head is a surprisingly long head of flaxen blonde hair, quite usually in braids or with his bangs tied behind his head. His facial features stem from a rounded nose and square chin, to flat cheeks, and cool green eyes. Jorrundr's facial hair is quite as extensive as the hair on his head, forked twice and done into braids. The complexion his skin takes is quite fair indeed, a warm undertone of white skin. His torso is backed with steely muscle, drawing the features of a broad chest, stiff waist, and firm back. His arms and legs are thick with muscle, not so much bulging as much as thoroughly toned. Considerably, Jorrundr is rather clean and tidy, shoving the stereotype of undeveloped and uncivilized southerners right off the table. His hands show considerable callouses in all the places synonymous with combat exercise, and a number of scars line his form to support further evidence.
