His skin a dull grey color and is dotted with a various amount of scars. His hair is an ash black mess that is paired with a thick beard that is equally unkempt. His eyes are a brilliant bronze color and hold a never waning stern glare. Gereth's horn resemble that of a ram's, they sprouting from his head then curving around his ears to face back in front of him. He dawns a series of fur clothing that consists of a thick hooded coat, pants, boots, and gloves all stitched together from the hide of a great bear.[/color] [color=00aeef][b]Abilities[/b][/color] [color=darkgray][url=http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Asaara%27s_Leap][i][u]Blessing Of The Lady Of The Sky[/u][/i][/url] Gereth launches himself across the battle field, turning himself into a living projectile, and lands in a devastating explosion of elemental magic.

He is the living embodiment of the word stoic, there seemingly being nothing in all of Thedas nor the Fade that can faze this grey giant. Gereth is the strong silent type, speaking up only when he finds it completely necessary, and prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. What he truly is passionate about are his people and holding true to their ways, his loyalty to his hold and beliefs knowing no end. He finds it incredibly annoying to be called a Qunari.[/color] [color=00aeef][b]History[/b][/color] [color=darkgray]Life among the Qunari can be that of true purpose and never faltering cause or it can be a living nightmare depraved of any form of freedom, the latter of the two cases was the experience of two warriors of the Qun who eventual grew sick of their roles among the Qunari and went rogue, becoming Tal-Vashoth. In their quest to escape the Qunari they went to the farthest lands they possible could, in this case it was the southern reaches of Thedas among the great Frostback mountains. Unfortunately the life of runaways did not last long for these two and they found themselves meeting their end at the hands of a band of bandits, but the story of these turn coats is not the one to be focused on at the moment, rather it is the story of the child they conceived before their untimely demise to holds the true interest. Indeed in an attempt to spur all that the Qun stood for the Tal-Vashoth brought a child into this world in the hopes of starting a family, but not even a month after the boy's birth the would be parents had their lives cut short by coin hungry thieves and the boy would of surely fallowed suit if it was not for the timely intervention of an Avvar hunting party. Killing the murderers the small hunting group took the infant back to their hold and before their thane in order to seek her guidance, luckily for the child the Avvar leader took pity upon him and decided to raise the boy as her own and among her people dubbing the boy Gereth. Despite the difference in race Gereth thrived among the Avvar, taking to their way of life like a fish to water. He hunted with them, fought along side them, and learned with them. He was shaping to be quite the Avvar warrior, this only changed when his magical abilities manifested. Like anyone touched by magic among the Avvar Gereth began to learn how to control his abilities from the tribes Augur, eventually just like so many other teachings of the Avvar Gereth adapted and excelled. Years would go by and Gereth would continue to grow and rise among the tribe, even earning himself a legend-mark for his deed of slaying a pack of Bereskarn that had taken up residence not far from his tribe. But eventually the word of the trouble that was spreading amongst the lowlanders reached Gereth he knew that eventually it would spread to his people. Gereth not being the one to wait for a problem to come to him resigned himself to leave his people for a time to help the lowlanders handle this newly arisen foe.[/color] [/center] [/hider] [/center]
