Stonebound Nomad

A male orc desert nomad with a heavily muscled, compact build made for sudden bursts of speed. He wears no armor and carries no weapons, only savage desert garb of sun-bleached hide, rough woven cloth, leather cords, and bone or stone ornaments. His green-gray skin is marked by old scars: claw rakes across the ribs, a split brow, punctures along one shoulder, and pale cuts crossing his forearms. His bare feet are dust-coated, and his hands are callused from travel across rock and sand. He stands like a resting predator—loose-limbed, watchful, and ready to spring. When he bends stone, gravel and small shards of rock rise around him and hang in the air. Dust curls toward his feet as slabs of earth gather along his arms and shoulders, forming temporary armor. His favored weapon is a stone tetsubo, pulled from the ground in a single brutal shape: a thick, uneven club of desert rock with a rough, broken surface.
