Johan Grieve

What stood out the most from him were his eyes: irises as brown and golden as the sands. The look in them was placid and calm, but somehow also fierce and dangerous. They could both resonate ease and inspire terror, wavering the most fearsome of souls.

Physically, he takes after mostly from his mother: with amber eyes and brown hair. The side of his father, however, takes the form of tanned skin, his above average height, and stern facial features showing a visage that most would call stoically handsome.He retains a muscular physique which, besides the scar on his face, there exist other patches of marred flesh, most of them placed upon his back in the form of whip marks. On his front are smaller scars, made by cuts and nicks from blades, along with shrapnel from rogue bullets. His hands are calloused, made by years of hard labor and fighting. His face, for the most part is bearded, sporting a goatee connected on the sides by a small but thick line of sideburns.Despite his weathered appearance and rugged features, they serve to make him look more older than he actually is. In truth, he’s quite young, not being much older than thirty. However the scars, along with his ordeals, tell an unknown story that has granted the Hyur a sort of wisdom beyond his years, though it was attained at a price that he deemed much too high to pay.

Johan, while for the most part cordial and polite, is also straight, blunt, and to the point. When it comes to befriending others he is, for a word, resistant. He makes little effort in making friendships, viewing them as unnecessary bonds and dangerous ties. At most, he keeps people away as little more than associates; individuals who serve a purpose for him, and he in return to them. This can be described as something akin to a business transaction, which in truth fits and suits his needs perfectly.He is not immune to human relations however, and can be cordial, even friendly, to those that persist in getting to know him and who continue to force themselves upon him. Eventually, he may even grow fond of them, against his better judgment. To those that earn his friendship, he shows a great sense of camaraderie and loyalty to. Still, he prefers to keep his circle small and the majority of his relations distant, as he deems this an effective way of protecting others, and though he may never admit it to himself, an even more effective way of protecting himself from the pain of loss.Johan is overall a kind and fair man, but also a cynical individual; one with a jaded sense of justice. While he is not fond of injustice and evil, he has also become disillusioned with the world, and has long since given up on the idea of trying to make it better, considering the effort of it all to be a small drop in a turbulent storm. But even so, he is a man of honor, and acts accordingly as such. He is not one to cheat others or hurt them needlessly, nor one to spread needless violence and chaos, but he will do so to those deserving of such behavior.Above all else, however, Johan is a warrior, and it's in battle where that part of him shines the most. His demeanor shifts immediately, his personality becoming detached and apathetic, showing no signs of emotion. He becomes completely and utterly focused on the fight with the goal of incapacitating, and at times killing, his opponents with pure efficiency and no hesitation. He shows no remorse or empathy for the enemy; the only kindness offered to them being a swift and painless end.
