Character:Two Shoes

Two Shoes

A towering man half again the height of a normal human and broad with muscled bulk. Nut-brown skin with a faint greenish cast to it, blue-black hair and black eyes. The only variation from standard-issue marine gear (including a shortsword that is like a dagger to him) is a long-handled heavy mace.

A recruit from Seven Cities, Two Shoes joined up to escape the grinding poverty of his home city of Urugat. He discovered that life among the hated Mezlas wasn't all that bad; while they were rude they were also honest and respected hard work. There was never any question about what role he would be trained for, he was sent straight to the heavy infantry sergeants. Two Shoes has the temperament of a great herd animal; slow to anger but terrible to behold once he is moved to it. Some mistake that as stupidity, but he prefers to be careful about where he applies his great strength. Once he does, it has a tendency to settle matters. When he speaks it is as though he has considered his words carefully.
