» APPEARANCE ---//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
▪ First thing you notice when meeting Härmä for the first time, is this towering presence; looming over you with a lazy confidence. Amused arrogance as he glances at you, and dismisses you as soon after. Härmä stands alone like a unmoving boulder in middle of a roaring river.
He is tall and muscular; at 28inches he rarely meets anyone taller. His body mass changes with the seasons; winters are harder with less food around, but he gains it all back come summer. His body is sturdy, perhaps a bit short.Strong legs and large paws with worn claws and pads. His back is straight and chest's wide. Strong neck and sharp face shapes. His tail was once long and bushy; now short stump. Ears are perky, eyes shaped as almonds, colored like ice. Scaleras has taken blue-ish tint.
Härmä's fur is a tad hoarse and thick, be it summer of winter. This makes sure Härmä is not very well suited in hot climates and prefers colder countries. Fur is longer at chest, neck, withers and at the ankles. Longer fur has been braided at his cheeks, as well as from other parts of his body. Härmä's fur is dark-grey at the bottom, but there is also other shades of grey at higher layers. Darkest colors are at his neck, throat, back and legs whereas the lightest colors are at sides of his face, stomach and paws. He loses some of it during summer months, but not enough to help him cool down.
Härmä has some scars decorating his body. Most of them are hidden under his fur, however some of the older scars can be seen. Three scars runs over his muzzle and the right ear is missing a piece of it. Old sear can be seen at his left back leg.
He walks lazily, with a little swagger. His posture is confined, eyes rarely straying from his path; often unfocused, seemingly ignoring the world around him.
» PERSONALITY ---/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
⋄ Confident. Knows that he's strong, knows his limits, but there is a hint of arrogance in there
⋄ Forgiving. Being angry to someone takes too much energy. He doesn't hold grudges, but the chances for him to trust you again are low.
⋄ Observant. Harsh life forced him to notice even smallest of shifts around him. Some call it paranoia, but is it really?
⋄ Private. Doesn't open up to strangers easily, but cannot be described 'mysterious'. He simply doesn't care what others thinks about him. Sometimes gets a laugh from all the rumors of himself.
⋄ Sarcastic. Härmä's basic setting in conversations often is to be sarcastic, annoying little shit, especially with strangers. Some call it defense mechanism.
⋄ Grumpy. Doesn't mean that he's aggressive, but he does enjoy his share of wrestling and fights, just doesn't go looking for them. Finds it hard to back down from challenges.
⋄ Lazy in every sense. Can even be heard from this lazy drawl in his speech. Spends sometimes long times simply sleeping or sunbathing
⋄ Selfish. In the end, Härmä is quite selfish. It is 'him' before 'them'. "You never did anything for anyone unless you could see what was in it for you."
⋄ Rude. He comes out as a rude. Härmä doesn't care if he insults someone. He says what comes in his mind and only very rarely even bothers lying.
⋄ Doesn't like being told what to do. Let's say Härmä often has problems authority figures. Something in them rubs his fur to wrong way.
⋄ Possessive. Härmä is somewhat possessive of those he things of 'his'. Friends, family. He gets jealous even to a point of slight paranoia. However Härmä is aware of being unreasonable sometimes and tries to reign it back.
⋄ Loves cuddling. As surprising as it is, he loves to cuddle with someone - it doesn't even need to be someone he knows. Especially loves cuddling someone bigger - or as big- than him.
» MAGIC ---////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Because of his worsening eyesight Härmä had to find alternative ways to see and watch the world. He searched old books and tomes, met magicians, alchemists and shamans until he found a way.
Answer came in a form of an old ritual and it took months to get ready. Once he did it, there was no hesitation.
Now he can see trough the eyes of birds around him; can take control of them; if only a few at the time. He can control up to half dozen birds; less if the bird as particularly clever as most crows and ravens are. However Härmä can only see trough the eyes of two birds at the same time.
There is slight time limit how long he can do it; birds starts fighting back the control after a few hours, but it can be negated simply by picking new birds.
» Example: Härmä wants to see trough eyes of a raven. One of Härmä's eyes turns milky white - as if blind -, and one of the Raven's eye takes the color of Härmä's own eye. That's the eye he can see trough now. Cannot see trough the milky eye during it. Eyes return as they were once the 'transfer' is over.
