PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Toller Rackbeard frequents Civic Square and is known for confronting people in public passages. Pale antlers spread above wide eyes and a tightly set mouth; a great jagged beard nearly conceals the body. Clenched hands complete the impression of an argument already under way. The record describes his behaviour, not an appointed civic office.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Top-wide and bottom-heavy at once: antlers flare outward like a hard crown, then the shape collapses into a dense triangular beard-body with blunt, oversized extremities at the base and sides. Readable at a glance and impossible to confuse with a slimmer figure.
- Scale
- He reads as short to medium in height, but visually large because almost every part is oversized: antlers too wide, beard too deep, hands and feet too bulky. The face sits compressed inside a lot of mass, which makes the expression feel trapped under pressure.
- Material
- Damp matted hair, mud-dark creases, horn with peat staining, rough keratin claws/nails, oily shadow in the beard depths.
- Colour
- #5D6B57, #8B6A43, #C08A4A, #332A24, #D7C3A8
OCCUPATION & CHARACTER
A belligerent threshold-enforcer type who occupies public passage and turns irritation into confrontation.
He looks explosively aggressive, yet there is something almost controlled in how fully he braces himself; his fury feels habitual, not chaotic.
WANTS
- to be heard the first time
- to push back against whatever annoys or crowds him
- to be treated as a force rather than an inconvenience
FEARS
- being ignored while he is visibly demanding attention
- being made ridiculous
- having his anger fail to move anyone
HABITS
- clenching before speaking
- leaning his whole mass forward during an outburst
- holding eye contact too long
- remaining tense even after the immediate quarrel has passed
NEEDS
- a place with regular foot traffic
- room to plant his feet and block or challenge movement
- clear visibility so he can spot and react quickly
CAPABILITIES
- holding ground through sheer physical presence
- broadcasting warning or complaint at volume
- making others hesitate, divert, or answer him immediately
SOURCE ANCHORS
- The broad, branching antlers with their uneven, crown-like spread
- The staring angry face with sharp brow shapes, marked cheeks, and barred clenched teeth
- The massive jagged beard and hair volume forming most of the body's shape
- The puffed side tufts/forms beside the face
- The bulky clenched hands and feet
