Mathurin is an unremarkable character in most respects. Even with broad shoulders and significant muscle, he doesn't exactly stand out above the crowd at 5'10 nor act the part of a basher. His perfectly bald head, smashed nose and scarred face likewise fail at evoking the image of a handsome man, if he was even that to begin with. His posture at least is straight, though this factor is also marred by the occasional difficulty he has with muscle spasms and other signs of weakness. The way he tells it, this is just the natural result of a lifetime spent fighting. Ancient scars peeking beyond his shirt sleeves and collar attest to this claim. His hands are clumsy and calloused, ill-suited to any craft beyond holding plow or sword. There is often dirt visible in between the creases of his fingers and on the backs of his hands, something which may suggest he does more than grip a blade. | Mathurin is an unremarkable character in most respects.

Appearance
Physical Features
Mathurin is an unremarkable character in most respects. Even with broad shoulders and significant muscle, he doesn't exactly stand out above the crowd at 5'10 nor act the part of a basher. His perfectly bald head, smashed nose and scarred face likewise fail at evoking the image of a handsome man, if he was even that to begin with. His posture at least is straight, though this factor is also marred by the occasional difficulty he has with muscle spasms and other signs of weakness. The way he tells it, this is just the natural result of a lifetime spent fighting. Ancient scars peeking beyond his shirt sleeves and collar attest to this claim. His hands are clumsy and calloused, ill-suited to any craft beyond holding plow or sword. There is often dirt visible in between the creases of his fingers and on the backs of his hands, something which may suggest he does more than grip a blade. By all appearances he has a decent standard of cleanliness, the most prominent smell to anyone who steps close being an odd mix of herbs and--naturally--dirt.

More easily affected by melancholy or grief than joy, his smiles are nevertheless frequent if lacking in strength. In most situations he might be said to display a mellow personality.
