Iver Barat
Description
Thunderous hooves proclaim this puissant centaur's approach. His massive chest and imposing girth speak of tremendous strength and endurance. Half-man, half-horse, Iver imposes wherever he trots. He towers at 7'4" and easily weighs over a ton. By his good-looking human features, Iver appears to be in his early 20s. The centaur keeps his black hair well-kept -- both the mane on his human head and the tail sprouting from his thoroughbred-like body. The centaur has smooth, chestnut-brown flanks and legs, and his human torso lightens only a little. His deep-brown eyes flash with alertness and mirth alike. Iver totes deadly axes and a masterful and powerful recurved long bow. A quiver hangs from a leather belt around his waist. When prepared for battle, he also dons unique tanned leather barding fit to his whole body -- human and horse alike. A master of his environment and all those who stray into that demesne, it's nice that Iver is a good guy!
History
The Sagati Tribe of centaurs was a powerful force in the northern sylva of Chrystana. They kept those woodlands safe for generations. Iver was born into this legacy and this strong-bodied centaur was honed from youth to join the prestigious ranks of their rangers. Iver enjoyed the forest greatly and worked hard at all woodland skills to be the head of his class, so to speak. Iver grew stronger and fiercer over the first two decades of his life. But his first test involved a frightening beast -- a chimera swept down into the woods, seeking easy prey. The Sagati rangers responded. Several centaurs were wounded, and Iver took his share of injury when he got too much whiff of its poisonous breath. But the three-headed monster was put down in short time. By surviving that rite of passage, Iver became another renowned and fearless protector of the Sagati territories.
Personality
Iver is the quintessential centaur. The ranger is strong, bold, fierce, and a relentless hunter. He knows his home but he's confident enough to make his way beyond when necessary. Iver tempers his war-like ways with occasional bouts of impassioned song, brought on often when he drinks. In that fashion, he's not as badly behaved of a drunk as some centaurs! Ultimately, Iver wants to see peace and safety brought to all woodlands and their keepers, such as the centaurs' elven and fey allies.
Goals
Iver will pursue the Ranger class to mastery (20th level) and further as an epic warrior.
