[hider=Fenni Gorrun]
Name: Fenni Gorrun

Race: Dwarf

Appearance: Fenni is an aged dwarf, his gray-black beard thick and long, his cold, tired eyes showing years of both wisdom and loss, and his scarred body showing marks of many years carried upon his shoulders. His hands are thick and sturdy, with many callouses from years of hard labor, combat, and other physical endeavors. Despite his age, he is still strong and sturdy, and can easily take most people in a physical fight.

Age: 86 in Dwarf Years

Former Profession: In times of peace, Fenni was a laborer for Clan Gorrun, smithing, mining, woodworking, and everything else that required strong physical abilities. In times of war, he was a soldier, marching into battle with the axe and armor of a dwarven warrior, defending and serving his clan in battle.

Skill: Axes. He can do just about anything feasibly possible with an axe, from throwing to fighting, to woodcutting and carving, and even things one wouldn't think possible with an axe. He's also an amazing drinker, alcohol seeming to have no effect on him no matter how long he drinks. He's even known to keep dwarven ale in his waterskin instead of water.

Personality: Fenni is a gruff, ugly person, both in appearance and personality. He's sarcastic, brutish, harsh, and doesn't seem to have any sense of manners...except around other dwarves. When with his kin, Fenni shows all the traits of an honorable, proud dwarf. With a groomed beard, polished axe, and the emblems of his clan displayed prominently.

History: For most of his life, Fenni was a proud member of his clan, bringing honor and glory in both his mundane tasks, as well as the field of battle. The clan records held many praises of his works and deeds, and songs were sung of him in the great halls during feasts and celebrations. He was a hero and everyone loved him for it. However, like all great tragedies, the hero's greatness must fall, and Fenni was no exception.

As dwarves live primarily in great mountain halls and vast cavern cities, one of the prime enemies of the state is foliage, trees and other plant life. These often encroach upon dwarven homelands with their vast roots, smashing through walls and invading dwarven buildings. Fenni's fall from grace was brought about by these enemies, for he was found consorting with them. Fenni was discovered supplying the great green menace with water, applying it to the soil around a small batch of flowers. When his shame was discovered, he was punished. Allowed to keep his family and clan name, Fenni was given a punishment; slay 1000 of the plant foes, and he may return with his honor intact.

Joining the town guard was simply a matter of keeping Fenni's martial skills intact, as he also does part-time work as a logger for the city, to try and accomplish his goal, so he can one day return to his home.
