Body Style and Personality

Falki has dark skin, blue eyes and white hair like the others of his race. His hair is shaved at the sides to show his tattoos, what is left is incredibly long and braided back into a ponytail to keep it out of his way, sometimes it wraps around his neck as a scarf to keep him warm. All other Vandrikk have black tattoos, but the prophet Falki’s are red. He has white horns and on them hang shining rocks and stones he has collecting over his travels across the tundra, among them are a few trinkets that may have been lost by adventurous humans, or otherwise reclaimed.

He wears similar jewels or rocks around his neck and on his wrists. Across his chest are more tattoos. His leg fur is black with white strips and his tail is round. On his hooves are shoes made of discoloured bone, carved with intricate patterns that represent the ocean and the changing of seasons.

His body is small and lacks weight as he was born male, but he is somewhat tall for a Vandrikk.

He appears incredibly confident to the point of arrogance. He cares deeply for his people but isn’t always correct in his judgement or advice. He has been known to exaggerate his visions, to the point that some do not trust him anymore, but underneath he hates to bring bad news to the people he cares about.

He is trusted completely by the matriarch though, who knows his lies come from a good place.

His greatest achievement is guiding his clan through a vision to a recently beached narwhal near the strait of Hinlopenstretet. It fed them for an entire month, and the horn was used to create spears for the hunters. (Andy Marsh 2022)
