— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE Achilles stands at 5'10" and bears a physique that is at once powerful and graceful. His skin is tanned by years spent in the sun (note that he is a few shades darker than what is shown by the PB I've chosen). His long golden hair waves and curls past his shoulders, often tied back, and a beard covers his jaw. His eyes are blue flecked with green. He is stated by Homer to be the best looking of the Achaeans (I can't make this up).

CLOTHING He wears belted tunics and eschews pants, and prefers sandals to boots but will suffer the latter. When outdoors, he is often barefoot. While elaborate clothing is not customary in Solvunn, he gravitates toward items with a bit of decorative embroidery or color.

DEMEANOR His countenance is often shaped by intensity, such that one might be intimidated to approach, but when he warms to someone he will readily display gentler looks. He has impeccable carriage, defaulting to shoulders held back and head held high, which gives the illusion of greater stature, makes him all the more intimidating, and speaks to his noble lineage.

AURAL He speaks in a rich tenor which carries easily, all the better for everyone to hear him. He is an impassioned speaker whose words reveal his emotions: when he is angry his voice raises in volume and intensity, when he is sad he tends to be more quiet and strained, and so on. He is also gifted with a lovely singing voice.

OLFACTORY His natural scent is earthy and musky but pleasantly so. He often smells of the sea. When he is granted the opportunity to do so, he takes care to bathe with scented oils.

— SKILLS —

Strength Equal to that of three ordinary men.

Speed He can keep pace with a team of horses.

Battle Prowess Lauded as "the best of the Achaeans" for his preeminence in battle, he is proficient with spear, sword, and bow.

Medicine Trained by Chiron in the art of medicine, he has extensive knowledge of herbal remedies and other first-aid fixes, and even slightly more advanced procedures such as setting bones and amputations.

Patron of the Enduring

BLESSING ◎ Vitality
Granting increased health or fortitude; giving life to stories or communities; strength and mental forbearance

AFFLICTION ◎ Fragility
Chink in the armor; exposing hidden vulnerabilities; tearing down or destroying someone's reputation or legend

Appearance

- His skin resembles marble, with gold veining throughout; it is cold to the touch.
- Maybe a centaur now? For some reason?

Lore

- A wrathful god, known to revoke his favor from those who do not pay proper offerings after he has helped them in the past.
- The patron god of the bold and brave, those who seek fame, and those who fear being forgotten by time.

Past & Present

- He has forgotten that he is fated to die by Apollo's hand. Ironically, he has forgotten much of the Trojan War, including Patroclus' fate. He spreads other people's stories in the hope of remembering his own.
- He has definitely razed a few villages in the last 800 years, or at least tried to. (Potential opening for your character to have opposed him?)
- ????

Domain

- Mount Pelion, re-created from his childhood, but with a palace situated on the summit.
- The mountain is surrounded on all sides by the sea.

Abilities
