OOC: results of a first brainstorming session, subject to being formatted differently and changing. And surely added to. (some of this is still in chat format)

Cathal Arascain

Cathal has shoulder-length brown hair, which he either lets fly loosely, or ties into a braid, depending both on his mood, and whether he has to keep it out of the way. He is slightly taller than the average, his well-muscled body measures six feet and three inches, and weighs 210 pounds, but since most of that is muscle, no one would call him fat.

Quite contrarily to his temper, which is sometimes fast to go off, Cathal has soft brown eyes, which radiate kindness, betraying the fact that deep inside he is a kind man, and it was only his past, which gave him the rough exterior.

Once you get to know him, and he accepts you as a friend, Cathal is a very good companion to have, and you'd learn that he is very kind, but by nature and upbringing he is distrusting of strangers, and because of a betrayal in the past, finds it hard to trust someone sufficiently to develop a friendship.

So, his clan leaders are not chosen by family connections, but rather by the strongest...
You earn your leadership through your actions. His people are known as strong, fair, but feirce people. Also, Extremely honorable and loyal.
They don't trust magic users, magic is fruity...all except their village shaman, ofcourse.

he wears a kilt

So, the women in his clans are just as tough. They aren't the touchy feely kinda gals and they pull their own weight and keep the men in line. However, it's very much a patriarchal society and women's opinions aren't always valued as much as they should be.

He has some mark in his past that aids in his stubborn, mean game face. I haven't decided exactly what that is, maybe we can dream something up.

But he is true and true a good man inside, although he tries desperately to prove himself otherwise.

the reason he is travelling is because he was taking furs to be sold in the cities.

Being up in the north, they are excellent huntsmen and a lot of the clan's money comes from selling the pelts.?

So he either has them with him, or is returning from selling them.

We should call his village Sliabh.

Cathal = battle mighty
Arascain comes from a place name
Sliabh = mountain
