 Kliff is a white dragonborn, standing at a massive 7' tall, with a broad build to match. Scars litter his opalescent white scales, reminders of battles long passed, along with two far cleaner ones going along the underside of his pecs. His ice blue eyes are set into his sharp skull, lined with spines and growths that almost resemble ice. Two large, backwards L shaped horns sit prominently on his brow, the right one broken at the midpoint. Teeth stick out from his mouth in jagged pattern, with one particularly nasty scar on his lip leaving his mouth in a permanent snarl. Spines continue down his back and along his tail, several sharp spikes growing out from the end. His underbelly is a lighter gray, but retains that slight opalescent quality like the rest of his scales. Long claws grow from his hands and feet, carefully maintained to a useful, but unobtrusive length. A close look at his face by those who know what look for would show that he's older than most adventurers, sitting at a vague middle-age he won't state. Kliff is a white dragonborn, standing at a massive 7' tall, with a broad build to match.

-In terms of clothing, Kliff tends to look somewhat contradictory. He adorns himself in pelts and furs, but never wears a shirt. instead, he wears furs on his shoulders, connected by a leather cord to keep it in place, along with wrapped leathers around his waist. The wrap is fur lined, as are his leather bracers, which are battle worn. Comfortable trousers hide underneath, but only go to his knees. The only hint of proper armor he has are his pauldrons, which are littered in scrapes and nicks with shards of ice growing from them. Strapped to his back are two handaxes, along with his massive greataxe that's well maintained. +In terms of clothing, Kliff tends to look somewhat contradictory.

 A closer examination of Kliff will show hints of a softer side. He wears a necklace, well-crafted and out of place among his simpler, natural garb. A beautiful piece of jewelry, he can be seen rubbing the gemstone pendant often and idly. Any tears in his clothing are well-mended, blending in until further examination. Occasionally, if it's particularly cold out, he may wear a beautifully woven scarf he claims to have made himself. A closer examination of Kliff will show hints of a softer side.

 +After his many adventures, Kliff as acquired a variety of new digs. Special adamantine armor has been crafted by Jarxis, covering all but Kliff's chest. He wears Boots of Speed, given to him by Celica, a friend he's now lost. His axe is stronger, using the cold of his home to destroy his enemies. Bits and pieces of Eldath-related regalia have made their way into his clothes, including bits of greenery embroidered on the fabrics he wears, or her waterfall symbol on a cloak.

Line 27: Line 34:
 Being overly emotional or saying something truly meaningful was a rarity, reserved for only the most important people at the most precious of times. People would often die or go missing in the mountains. Sentiment was a dangerous thing, and a broken heart could kill just as swiftly as broken bones. Love was given, but in quiet ways, through gifts or actions. Speaking of love was a frightening process, and not done lightly. If Kliff ever does say something that borders on poetic, it's because he considers you worth the pain of loving. Being overly emotional or saying something truly meaningful was a rarity, reserved for only the most important people at the most precious of times.

-__**History**__+__**Backstory Kliff Notes**__ 
 +Kliff grew up in a remote mountain village. He spent his entire life there, never leaving the mountain. He met his wife, Ekani, while she was traveling through the mountains and ended up staying in the village. They fell in love and lived a simple life. A man named [[Varruk]] who had been banished from the village for his crimes returned with a mercenary band. The mercenaries and Varruk slaughtered the entire town, Kliff only surviving because Ekani took a lethal blow for him. Kliff left the village, and as he struggled to make a new path and with a deep anger in his heart, he protected a family from bandits. During the fight, spirits of the townsfolk, including his wife, appeared, helping him and giving him a new purpose. He would become an adventurer, protecting people as he hunted down Varruk to get his vengeance.

 +__**Full History**__
  
 Kliff was not always an adventurer. Few would believe it, but prior to his adventuring days, he lived a simple life in the mountains. High up in the frigid peaks was a difficult, but rewarding life in his village. To survive such harsh conditions, the people there had to work together to stay alive. Everyone helped to contribute, no job lesser or greater than any other. If it needing doing, it was important. Taking care of one another was a priority, and those who were selfish were often shunned from the community. One selfish act could doom them in the middle of a harsh winter, the stance was unfortunately necessary for survival. Kliff was not always an adventurer.

 +This folder will contain a variety of content, from writing to potentially art. I'll also be trying to maintain a log of all important things relating to Kliff that happen in games to help me maintain his continuity and story. I won't always announce when things are added to it, I'll simply add things and occasionally link things in the main server if I want to share something specific. Otherwise, check in often to see if there's anything new!

 +====== Curtain Call ======
 +
 +Kliff has gained a new outlook on life. His time outside of the Crooked Peaks had not been kind to him, and yet, he's managed to retain his gentle heart. Percy officially becomes a Rimeclaw, the pair of them living together in their shared home as a family. Lonnal, too, stays with them for a time, and takes an open invitation for mealtimes with him. In fact, so does each and every one of Kliff's many traveling companions from his time as an adventurer. All are welcome to share a meal with him and Percy, visit the temple, or come for training at the Hearthvale Skirmisher's Academy in WelMet.
 +
 +Kliff continues his good works, doing more now that he's able to dedicate himself full time to them. He helps wherever he is able, even outside of the temple and Academy. Whenever a friend needs him, he's there, though he refuses to go out adventuring anymore. There are others who can take his place. Kliff has no room in his life for violence or brutality anymore. After many nights spent praying to Eldath for peace, he's finally gotten his wish. Instead, Percy now takes up the mantle, stepping up and traveling all throughout Biomia being a "big-shot hero" as they like to say. Kliff couldn't be more proud of the person they've become.
 +
 +And when his time finally does come in a few decades, there are likely many who will want to say goodbye to a man who has touched their hearts in numerous ways. He will not be alone when his time comes, surrounded by people who love him, held in their embrace before he is embraced in the next life by people who have patiently waited for so many years to hold him again.
 +
 +----
 +
 +When Kliff's old age results in a peaceful death, Jarxis builds him a statue.  This 50+ft statue is on the outskirts of Wellmet, and everyone can see it from a ways off as they walk down the main road into town.  The statue facing the road is Kliff holding Ekani's axe aloft roaring fiercely in the face of evil.  Smoke seems to twist and roil off of the axe itself, which makes sense as you get closer to the statue.  Walking closer to the statue you can see that not only is the massive base hollow, but there is a huge room beneath Kliff's muscular torso.  This room is dug down below ground level several feet, with the statue providing cover from rain, wind, and other weather for any weary travel who might enter.  Inside it's clear that the arm of the statue and the axe are actually just a very elaborate chimney for an enormous and ever burning hearth.  There are plentiful benches and seating inside the shelter.  Etched in the walls are kind words and affirmations for any that may feel beaten down by the world.  Every day the faithful of Eldath bring huge pots of stew to simmer at the edge of the hearth, free to any that want it.  To the side are simple clothes available free of charge on a few small shelves.  The clothes are not fancy, but there always seem to be more there, maybe they appear on their own or maybe travelers are inspired to leave something for others.
 +
 +Many travelers weary from the snow or rain have stopped here to warm themselves at the enormous ever burning hearth.  In time this monument to a great man becomes a major landmark that all travelers recognize.  Like the man it honors the fearsome exterior is only skin deep, inside it offers nothing but warmth and compassion to all.
