Name:[indent]Iorwerth, Gruffydd (Pronounciation: ee-OR-oo-err-t, GREE-fuhth—it’s Welsh.  See “History”)[/indent]
Gender:[indent]Male[/indent]
Age:[indent]17[/indent]
Class:[indent]3-2[/indent]
Appearance:
[indent]Griffith is large, in part from his height of about six feet.  The genetic lottery has supplemented his above-average height with a bulky frame, and through concerted effort he has filled his frame out with musculature to match—though he has avoided excessive bulk.  His lips are almost always upturned in a massive grin, and his eyes shine with mirth.  His dark hair and eyes contrast his skin, which is paler than most.[/indent]
Hobbies and Interests:
[indent]More than anything else, Iorwerth likes testing himself.  Often, this takes the form of mental challenges—often against other people, like a game of go or chess—but while he isn’t unintelligent, he doesn’t win very often.  That said, he still derives pleasure from the challenge.  He fares much better with challenges that test a person’s physical abilities, which he approaches with even greater zeal.[/indent]
[indent]He also has considerable interest in folk tales from around the world, but especially from his homeland.[/indent]
Personality: 
[indent] Iorwerth proves a match for the mirth found in his eyes.  He is warm, and amicable to a fault.  His deep, echoing laughter is always bubbling beneath the surface, waiting to burst forth in response to some good natured ribbing of one of his friends, or even of himself.  It is a rare day when he is angry, but it often happens in response to some perceived threat to himself or one of his friends.  In such cases, his echoing voice turns excessively aggressive, and he has dragged himself into a fair few fights because of it.[/indent]
History:
[indent] Born in Aberffraw in north-western Wales, Iorwerth grew up speaking his native Welsh and, in accordance with UK laws, English.  When he was six, business required his parents to move to Japan.  While initially temporary, both work and pleasure conspired to have Iorwerth’s parents settle in Aikari permanently. [/indent]
